  • Women in Criminal Trials in the Julio-Claudian Era
    Women in Criminal Trials in the Julio-Claudian Era by Tracy Lynn Deline B.A., University of Saskatchewan, 1994 M.A., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2009 © Tracy Lynn Deline, 2009 Abstract This study focuses on the intersection of three general areas: elite Roman women, criminal law, and Julio-Claudian politics. Chapter one provides background material on the literary and legal source material used in this study and considers the cases of Augustus’ daughter and granddaughter as a backdrop to the legal and political thinking that follows. The remainder of the dissertation is divided according to women’s roles in criminal trials. Chapter two, encompassing the largest body of evidence, addresses the role of women as defendants, and this chapter is split into three thematic parts that concentrate on charges of adultery, treason, and other crimes. A recurring question is whether the defendants were indicted for reasons specific to them or the indictments were meant to injure their male family members politically. Analysis of these cases reveals that most of the accused women suffered harm without the damage being shared by their male family members. Chapter three considers that a handful of powerful women also filled the role of prosecutor, a role technically denied to them under the law. Resourceful and powerful imperial women like Messalina and Agrippina found ways to use criminal accusations to remove political enemies. Chapter four investigates women in the role of witnesses in criminal trials.

    Outi Lehtipuu the nascent Christian movement has traditionally been understood.2 From Tacitus’ brief mention that Nero made Christians scapegoats for the fire of Rome in order to direct suspicion away from himself,3 the pious imagination of Sienkiewicz and many others has painted a gruesome picture of how thousands of Christians were “What Harm Is There for You dragged to prisons and arenas to be exposed to wild animals, burnt alive and crucified.

Many overtly hegemonic films still reveal the existence of resistive structures buried within the narrative. Film criticism has generally avoided serious examination of this genre, and left it open to the purview of classical studies professionals, whose view and value systems are significantly different to those of film scholars.

  • How Nasty Was Nero, Really? the Notorious Emperor Appears to Have Been the Subject of a Smear Campaign
    The Ancient World June 14, 2021 Issue How Nasty Was Nero, Really? The notorious emperor appears to have been the subject of a smear campaign. By Rebecca Mead June 7, 2021 A show at the British Museum offers a less sensationalist account of Nero’s reign.Illustration by Bendik Kaltenborn • Nero, who was enthroned in Rome in 54 A.D., at the age of sixteen, and went on to rule for nearly a decade and a half, developed a reputation for tyranny, murderous cruelty, and decadence that has survived for nearly two thousand years. According to various Roman historians, he commissioned the assassination of Agrippina the Younger—his mother and sometime lover. He sought to poison her, then to have her crushed by a falling ceiling or drowned in a self-sinking boat, before ultimately having her murder disguised as a suicide. Nero was betrothed at eleven and married at fifteen, to his adoptive stepsister, Claudia Octavia, the daughter of the emperor Claudius. At the age of twenty-four, Nero divorced her, banished her, ordered her bound with her wrists slit, and had her suffocated in a steam bath. He received her decapitated head when it was delivered to his court. He also murdered his second wife, the noblewoman Poppaea Sabina, by kicking her in the belly while she was pregnant. Nero’s profligacy went beyond slaughtering his nearest and dearest. He spent a fortune building an ornate palace, only to have it burn down, along with the rest of the city of Rome, in a conflagration that lasted for more than a week.

  • The Portrayal of the Generals and the Armies in Tacitus' Annals
    THE PORTRAYAL OF THE GENERALS AND THE ARMIES IN TACITUS’ ANNALS. Elizabeth Mary Boldy Bachelor of Arts (Hons.1) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics. ABSTRACT Tacitus began the Annals with the death of Augustus in order to emphasize the moment when the autocratic system of government he had established became a permanent fixture in the Roman state when it was passed on to his successors, the Julio-Claudian Emperors.1 Tacitus chose the annalistic form to present his history in order to record the major events of political, military and constitutional importance within these formative years of the empire.2 This thesis offers a historiographical study of Tacitus‟ Annals in order to demonstrate how he utilises the Roman army and its generals as a means of emphasising the political environment in these embryonic years of the empire. This study is valuable in that it shows how, by use of various literary devices, Tacitus gives his opinions of the emperors by contrasting their actions and behaviours with their generals and armies. His descriptions of res externae, the actions of the armies, is designed to counterbalance what he claimed was sorrowful res internae within the Roman state itself. Scholars‟ views on Tacitus qualities as an historian range from the belief that he was truthful and reliable to the view that the Annals was mostly a work of literature and of little value for historical fact. Woodman, Kajanto and Haynes argue that Tacitus‟ work was more a work of rhetorical invention, like that of the poets.3 Mellor likens him to such historical novelists as Tolstoy and George Eliot.4 Syme, Mendell and Martin express their belief that Tacitus was a reliable and honest historian.5 In this thesis, I examine Tacitus‟ style and language in order to show how his method of writing plays a crucial role in developing the themes of the Annals.

  • When the 29Th of June, the Solemnity of the Saints Peter and Paul (The Patronal Feast of the Church of Rome), Falls on a Sunday, It Trumps the Sunday in Ordinary Time
    When the 29th of June, the Solemnity of the Saints Peter and Paul (the patronal feast of the Church of Rome), falls on a Sunday, it trumps the Sunday in Ordinary Time. So that is why we are celebrating it this weekend. I’d like to share a story about St. Peter that happens near the end of his life. When the persecutions by Nero against the Christians in Rome were happening, St. Peter tried to escape them by running away outside of the city. (Thus, another time we have Peter trying to deny that he knows Jesus.) When he was journeying on the principal way (road) that leads south of the city (the Via Appia), he encountered the Lord journeying toward the city. Peter recognized that it was the Lord. He asked Jesus: “Domine, quo vadis?”—“Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered Peter: I am going to be crucified again. (I am going to die another time.) And with that, Peter was convicted in his fears and he converted (repented) immediately, and followed Jesus along the way in order to give his own life as a witness (testimony) to his faith in Jesus Christ. He died the martyr’s death (a witness to the faith): “‘…and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.’ He said this signifying by what kind of death [Peter] would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.’” A church was built at the site in order to mark this event in Peter’s life.

  • Two Wives of Nero: a Political and Prosopographical Study
    TWO WIVES OF NERO: A POLITICAL AND PROSOPOGRAPHICAL STUDY by ROBERT N. S. PARKER A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.A. Department of Classics McGill University July 1986 Montr~al © R. N. S. Parker, 1986 ABSTRACT In the course of his reign, the Emperor Nero was married to three wives in succession. Since a number of women are known to have been politically active during the late Republic and early Empire, it is possible that Nero's wives also exerted political pressure on him. Relying primarily on the best source for the Neronian Principate, Tacitus' Annals XIII-XVI, this thesis will give an account of the evidence pre­ sented for the lives of the only two wives of Nero with whom Tacitus deals, Claudia Octavia and Poppaea Sabina. There follows, in addition, an estimation of Tacitus• judgment of their lives in light of his general view of women. It will be demonstrated that although both women had the necessary means to mount political pressure, only Poppaea took advantage of her position. ii c RESUME Pendant son regne l 'empereur N~ron s'est mari~ successivement a trois femmes. Avec l'av~nement a Rome d'un certain nombre de femmes politiquement actives~ au cours de cette ~poque, il est permis de pr~tendre que les ~pauses de N~ron ont ~t~ dans la position d'exercer sur celui-ci des pressions politi­ ques.

A true archivist, she resurrected several sources, including those published in her School Masters of the Tenth Century (1977). Furthermore, she uncovered previously un-read work on Bede and wrote a still-valuable article on the liberal arts in Remigius (1956).
