10/29/2010 1 Primus Adventus ad Romam Urbem Aeternam Your First Visit to Rome The Eternal City 2 Accessimus in Urbe AeternA! • Welcome, traveler! Avoiding the travails of the road, you arrived by ship at the port of Ostia; from there, you’ve had a short journey up the Via Ostiensis into Roma herself. What do you see there? 3 Quam pulchra est urbs aeterna! • What is there to see in Rome? • What are some monuments you have heard of? • How old are the buildings in Rome? • How long would it take you to see everything important? 4 Map of Roma 5 The Roman Forum • “According to the Roman legend, Romulus and Tatius, after the mediation of the Sabine women, met on the very spot where the battle had been fought, and made peace and an alliance. The spot, a low, damp, grassy field, exposed to the floods of the river Spinon, took the name of “Comitium” from the verb coire, to assemble. It is possible that, in consequence of the alliance, a road connecting the Sabine and the Roman settlements was made across these swamps; it became afterwards the Sacra Via…. 6 The Roman Forum • “…Tullus Hostilius, the third king, built a stone inclosure on the Comitium, for the meeting of the Senators, named from him Curia Hostilia; then came the state prison built by Ancus Marcius in one of the quarries (the Tullianum). The Tarquin [kings] drained the land, gave the Forum a regular (trapezoidal) shape, divided the space around its borders into building- lots, and sold them to private speculators for shops and houses, the fronts of which were to be lined with porticoes.” --Rodolfo Lanciani, The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome, 1897, p. -
Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th. -

Corinthian order Valley of the Temples • The Valle dei Templi is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient Greek Akragas), Sicily, southern Italy. It is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national momument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO Heritage Site list in 1997. Much of the excavation and restoration of the temples was due to the efforts of archaeologist Domenico Antonio Lo Faso Pietrasanta (1783– 1863), who was the Duke of Serradifalco from 1809 through 1812. • The Valley includes remains of seven temples, all in Doric style. The temples are: • Temple of Juno, built in the 5th century BC and burnt in 406 BC by the Carthaginians. It was usually used for the celebration of weddings. • Temple of Concordia, whose name comes from a Latin inscription found nearby, and which was also built in the 5th century BC. Turned into a church in the 6th century AD, it is now one of the best preserved in the Valley. -
Julius Caesar
Working Paper CEsA CSG 168/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS – JULIUS CAESAR Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Julius Caesar (JC) survived two civil wars: first, leaded by Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius; and second by himself and Pompeius Magnus. Until he was stabbed to death, at a senate session, in the Ides of March of 44 BC. JC has always been loved or hated, since he was alive and throughout History. He was a war hero, as many others. He was a patrician, among many. He was a roman Dictator, but not the only one. So what did he do exactly to get all this attention? Why did he stand out so much from the crowd? What did he represent? JC was a front-runner of his time, not a modern leader of the XXI century; and there are things not accepted today that were considered courageous or even extraordinary achievements back then. This text tries to explain why it’s important to focus on the man; on his life achievements before becoming the most powerful man in Rome; and why he stood out from every other man. Keywords Caesar, Politics, Military, Religion, Assassination. Sumário Júlio César (JC) sobreviveu a duas guerras civis: primeiro, lideradas por Cornélio Sula e Caio Mário; e depois por ele e Pompeius Magnus. Até ser esfaqueado numa sessão do senado nos Idos de Março de 44 AC. JC foi sempre amado ou odiado, quando ainda era vivo e ao longo da História. Ele foi um herói de guerra, como outros. Ele era um patrício, entre muitos. Ele foi um ditador romano, mas não o único. -

INTRODUCTION /JLUGUSTUS' ACHIEVEMENT IN BRINGING ORDER TO THE STATE after the turbu- lent years of civil war is celebrated in many and diverse sources. Velleius Pater- culus (2.89.3) records that "force was returned to laws, authority to the courts, and majesty to the Senate, that the power of magistrates was brought back to its old level" (restituta vis legibus, iudiciis auctoritas, senatui maiestas, imperium magistratuum adpristinum redactum modum). Velleius continues on to offer the general summation that the old form of the republic had been reinstated (prisca ilia et antiqua reipublicae forma revocata).^ An aureus from 28 B.C. -
Suetonius the Life of Tiberius Translated by Alexander
SUETONIUS THE LIFE OF TIBERIUS TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER THOMSON, M.D. REVISED AND CORRECTED BY T. FORESTER, ESQ., A.M. VITA TIBERI I. The patrician family of the Claudii (for there was a plebeian family of the same name, no way inferior to the other either in power or dignity) came originally from Regilli, a town of the Sabines. They removed thence to Rome soon after the building of the city, with a great body of their dependants, under Titus Tatius, who reigned jointly with Romulus in the kingdom; or, perhaps, what is related upon better authority, under Atta Claudius, the head of the family, who was admitted by the senate into the patrician order six years after the expulsion of the Tarquins. They likewise received from the state, lands beyond the Anio for their followers, and a burying-place for themselves near the capitol [284]. After this period, in process of time, the family had the honour of twenty-eight consulships, five dictatorships, seven censorships, seven triumphs, and two ovations. Their descendants were distinguished by various praenomina and cognomina [285], but rejected by common consent the praenomen of (193) Lucius, when, of the two races who bore it, one individual had been convicted of robbery, and another of murder. Amongst other cognomina, they assumed that of Nero, which in the Sabine language signifies strong and valiant. II. It appears from record, that many of the Claudii have performed signal services to the state, as well as committed acts of delinquency. To mention the most remarkable only, Appius Caecus dissuaded the senate from agreeing to an alliance with Pyrrhus, as prejudicial to the republic [286]. -

Excavations at Forum of Caesar the Project Is a Collaboration Between the Danish Institute in Rome, Danish National Research
Excavations at Forum of Caesar The project is a collaboration between the Danish Institute in Rome, Danish National Research Foundation's Centre of Excellence, Centre for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet) and the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali. The excavations are made possible by a generous donations by the Carlsberg Foundation and Aarhus University Research Foundation. The planned excavations have a three-year duration and aim to broaden the understanding of the Forum of Caesar. Due to extensive excavations in 1932-1933 and 1998-2000, the Forum of Caesar – as the only of the five Imperial Fora - is actually visible in its original length, including the greater part of the Temple of Venus Genetrix, but a substantial part of its width on the north-eastern side remains unexcavated. The aim of the forthcoming excavations is to unearth the eastern side of the Temple of Venus Genetrix, and the entire eastern portico of the Forum, which currently lies hidden beneath Via dei Fori Imperiale and the adjacent pedestrian areas. The excavations will further contribute with important data in connection with the medieval and modern phases of the area. What is more, a prehistoric necropolis is expected to be situated below the Forum of Caesar, as ten tombs from the 11th and 10th centuries BC have been located in the area between 1998 and 2008. With the application of newly developed scientific techniques and analyses, the forthcoming excavations aim to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the thousand-year sequence of Roman history that is found in the area of the Forum of Caesar. -

Journal Homepage: https://sjs.journals.ekb.eg Hellenistic Heads of Queen Cleopatra VII Enayat Mohamed Ahmed1 Wessam Fekry Ibrahim2 1Professor of Graeco-Roman Archeology, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels - Alexandria University 2Lecturer at Tourism Management and Cultural Heritage Department, Faculty of Tourism & Hotels, Matrouh University ARTICLE INFO Abstract Keywords: Though her wide fame, the story of queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt Cleopatra VII is preserved, unfortunately, mostly in words only. Most of the Greek Portraits archaeological evidence of her reign disappeared as well as the Royal Statuary Ptolemaic Alexandria, either under the water of the Ptolemaic Queens Mediterranean or buried under modern buildings. In addition, the images of Cleopatra VII are very rare. After the defeat of Cleopatra and Anthony by Octavian, and their legendary suicide, Octavian destroyed many of the images of the last queen of Egypt. Until a man named Archibios paid 2,000 donations to the Roman Emperor to preserve the remaining statues of Cleopatra. It is possible that some of the ancient Egyptian-style Cleopatra representations came to us from the collection that survived after the intervention of Archibios. Besides, we find that pieces depicting Cleopatra have a lot of (JTHH) ambiguity around her, as a result of the many events that Vol. 1 No. 2, (2020) Cleopatra went through during her life in addition to her political inclinations and her constant endeavor to consolidate her position pp 30-39. with the Egyptians and Romans at the same time. As a result, the way she was portrayed was always changing due to the political changes and situations . -
Constructing Caesar: Julius Caesar’S Caesar and the Creation of the Myth of Caesar in History and Space
CONSTRUCTING CAESAR: JULIUS CAESAR’S CAESAR AND THE CREATION OF THE MYTH OF CAESAR IN HISTORY AND SPACE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bradley G. Potter, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Erik Gunderson, Adviser Professor Fritz Graf ______________________ Professor Ellen O’Gorman Advisor Department of Greek & Latin ABSTRACT Authors since antiquity have constructed the persona of Caesar to satisfy their views of Julius Caesar and his role in Roman history. I contend that Julius Caesar was the first to construct Caesar, and he did so through his commentaries, written in the third person to distance himself from the protagonist of his work, and through his building projects at Rome. Both the war commentaries and the building projects are performative in that they perform “Caesar,” for example the dramatically staged speeches in Bellum Gallicum 7 or the performance platform in front of the temple of Venus Genetrix in the Forum Iulium. Through the performing of Caesar, the texts construct Caesar. My reading aims to distinguish Julius Caesar as author from Caesar the protagonist and persona the texts work to construct. The narrative of Roman camps under siege in Bellum Gallicum 5 constructs Caesar as savior while pointing to problems of Republican oligarchic government, offering Caesar as the solution. Bellum Civile 1 then presents the savior Caesar to the Roman people as the alternative to the very oligarchy that threatens the libertas of the people.
