The epigrams are not, however, in chronological order. THE EPIGRAMS OF MARTIAL BOOK VIII To THE EMPEROR DOMITIANUS, CAESAR, AUGUSTUS, CONQUEROR OF GERMANY AND DACIA, VALERIUS MARTIALIS SENDS GREETING 1 OF a truth all my little books, Sire, to which you have given fame, that is, life, are your suppliants, and I think will, for this reason, be read. This one, however, which is marked the eighth of my works, enjoys more frequently the opportunity of showing loyalty. Accordingly I had less occasion for the labour of invention, for which the subject-matter a I formed substitute ; that, however, have here and there attempted to diversify by some intermixture of pleasantry, so that every verse should not heap upon your divine modesty its meed of praise which would more easily weary you than satiate me. And although epigrams have been written in such a style, even by men the most austere and of the highest position, as apparently to have aimed at the verbal licence of mimes, yet I have not allowed these to speak with their usual playfulness. As part of my book and that the greater and better is attached to the Majesty of your sacred name, it should re- member that it is unfitting to approach the temple 2 save cleansed by religious purification.

BOOK VIII. i-m may know I shall regard this obligation, I have deter- mined to make my profession on the very threshold of this little book by a very brief epigram. I THOU, my book, who art purposed to enter my Master's laurel-wreathed 1 abode, learn to speak more reverently in modest speech. Undraped Venus, stand back : this little book is not thine ; do thou come to me, thou, Pallas, patron of Caesar. II WHEN Janus, begetter and parent of our annals, 2 of late saw Hister's conqueror, he deemed his many faces were not enough for him, and wished to possess alike with more eyes ; and, speaking every tongue, he promised the Lord of Earth and God of the 3 Universe a Pylian old age four times over. Add, Father Janus, we entreat, your own. Ill " FIVE were sufficient ; for six or seven books are too much : why do you want, Muse, to frolic still ?

THE EPIGRAMS OF MARTIAL me tamen ora legent et secum plurimus hospes ad patrias sedes carmina nostra feret." finieram, cum sic respondit nona sororum, cui coma et unguento sordida vestis erat : 10 " Tune potes dulcis, ingrate, relinquere nugas ? die mihi, quid melius desidiosus ages ? an iuvat ad tragicos soccum transferre coturnos aspera vel paribus bella tonare modis, praelegat ut tumidus rauca te voce magister, 15 oderit et grandis virgo bonusque puer ? scribant ista graves nimium nimiumque severi, quos media miseros nocte lucerna videt. at tu Romanes lepido sale tingue libellos : adgnoscat mores vita legatque suos. 20 angusta cantare licet videaris avena, dum tua multorum vincat avena tubas." IV QUANTUS, io, Latias mundi conventus ad aras et suscipit solvit pro duce vota suo ! non sunt haec hominum, Germanice, gaudia tantum, sed faciunt ipsi nunc, puto, sacra dei. DUM donas, Macer, anulos puellis, desisti, Macer, anulos habere.

HI-V shall be dust, yet me shall lips read, and many a sojourner shall carry my poems with him to his fatherland." I ended; when thus replied the ninth 1 of the Sisters, her hair and vesture stained with " unguent : Can you, ungrateful man, resign your pleasant trifles? Tell me, what better thing when idle will you do ? Wish you to adapt your comic shoe 2 to the tragic buskin, or in even-footed measures to thunder of rough wars, that a pompous pedagogue may dictate you in hoarse tones, and tall girl and honest boy hate you ? Let those themes be written by men grave overmuch, and overmuch austere, whom at midnight their lamp marks at their wretched toil. But do you dip your little Roman books in sprightly wit let Life and read of her own man- ; recognize ners. To a thin pipe you may appear to sing, if only your pipe outblow the trump of many." IV Ho ! How great a concourse of the world at Latin 3 altars makes and pays their vows for their Chief! These are not the joys of men only, Germanicus : nay, the very gods now, I ween, offer sacrifice. WHILE you give rings to girls, Macer, you have 4 ceased, Macer, to possess rings yourself. 4 i.e. you have lost your qualification as a knight: cf. Juv. xi. 43. The ius anulorum (right to wear a gold ring) was possessed by senators, knights, and magistrates.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

MARSHALL1 & KATHY B. R. HILL Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 N. Eagleville Rd., Storrs, CT 06269 USA 1Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A morphologically cryptic subspecies of Neotibicen similaris (Smith and Grossbeck) is described from forests of the Apalachicola region of the southeastern United States. Although the new form exhibits a highly distinctive male calling song, it hybridizes extensively where it meets populations of the nominate subspecies in parapatry, by which it is nearly surrounded. This is the first reported example of hybridization between North American nonperiodical cicadas. Acoustic and morphological characters are added to the original description of the nominate subspecies, and illustrations of com- plex hybrid song phenotypes are presented. The biogeography of N. similaris is discussed in light of historical changes in forest composition on the southeastern Coastal Plain. Key words: Acoustic behavior, sexual signals, hybridization, hybrid zone, parapatric distribution, speciation Introduction The cryptotympanine cicadas of North America have received much recent attention with the publication of comprehensive molecular and cladistic phylogenies and the reassignment of all former North American Tibicen Latreille species into new genera (Hill et al.

Ovid's exilic poems, far from simply manifesting his situation and personal feelings, were part of a literary tradition that grew over time. Ovid was aware of the previous conventions of writings from exile, and molded those concepts into a genre of exile poetry, with set tropes and guidelines to be followed by later exiles. The well-known philosopher and politician L. Annaeus Seneca was exiled on the island of Corsica by the emperor Claudius from 41 to 48 CE.
