The legends say that Romulus and Remus were nursed by a she-wolf in the Lupercal. The siege of the Imperial Palace then began in earnest. Overwhelmed with rage, the headstrong Ferrus Manus disregarded the counsel of his brothers Corax and Vulkan and hurled himself against the fleeing rebels, seeking to bring Fulgrim to personal combat. By the second century A. If I could write something that moved readers to anything near where Hughes does me; to place beyond the simple romantic view of nature, to a world of myth, where you feel like a child in his hands, I would be a happy little amateur poet Horus did not adhere to the rules of war, nor did he baulk at the use of a tactic because it offended sensibilities. Their hurt feelings over His seeming abandonment of the Great Crusade to pursue a secret project whose purpose He chose not to reveal to His sons laid the seeds of jealousy and resentment that would ultimately blossom into the corruption that begat the Horus Heresy. Open Preview See a Problem? However, not all Astartes of the Legions joined the lodges, as many saw them as a direct violation of the Emperor's desires that all Space Marines dedicate themselves to truth and openness with others and among themselves. Erebus had managed to complete his blasphemous ritual on Calth's surface, which summoned a Ruinstorm to the galaxy's Eastern Fringe -- a monstrous Warp Storm larger and more destructive than anything space-faring humanity had witnessed since the days of the Age of Strife. Ultramarines survivors fight back against their foes. Yet the brutal violence of the daemon Ka'Bahnda had unleashed something dark within the psyche of the Space Marines, a thirst for blood that would not be slaked until every taint of Chaos had been erased from the planet. Retrieved 21 November With the spaceports secured, Horus' remaining troops of the Traitor Legions and their Traitor Imperial Army and Dark Mechanicus support forces landed en masse , and the hulking transports carried thousands of troops each.

The message ultimately penetrated the potent psychic defences of the Imperial Palace on Terra , shattering all the psychic wards the Emperor had placed on the Palace -- including those within his secret project in the Imperial Dungeons, where he was proceeding with the creation of the human extension into the Webway. Descriptions of the Lupercalia festival of 44 BC attest to its continuity; Julius Caesar used it as the backdrop for his possibly staged public refusal of a golden crown offered to him by Mark Antony. The St. Resplendent nature poetry hinting at Hughes obsession with obsessed women. Much of Horus' later success arose from the thorough groundwork he had laid before the opening shots of the Heresy were fired at Istvaan III. The ritual had become important to the civic life of Rome and was believed to help prevent pestilence, but as the pope charged, it was no longer being performed in the proper manner. Nov 03, P. Camillo de Lellis S. The same sound that rang about Dagonet on the day they were liberated. This book was published in and is not confessional if that is what Ted Hughes is not an easy read. Inside the Palace, the defenders had been forced back to the Eternity Gate, the sole point of entry into the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace. Share Flipboard Email. But it works as it is in the poem. The pair of Assassins soon came into conflict with the "Black Pariah" known as Spear. Like many of his superhuman brethren, these sources say that the young primarch thrived in Cthonia's harsh environment, learning his first lessons in war and killing from Cthonia's tech- barbarian kill-gangs. After a lengthy bombardment of Istvaan III, Horus dispatched all of the known Loyalist Astartes down to the planet, under the pretense of bringing it back into the Imperium. Some of the poems for which Hughes is best remembered appear in Lupercal. Driving all of the near-infinite reserves of compassion from His mind for the sake of the humanity He had served and loved all the years of His long life, the Emperor destroyed Horus utterly, his essence burned from existence in both the physical world and the Immaterium so that the Ruinous Powers could not resurrect Horus as a Daemon Prince through their claim on his soul. The Execution Force managed to salve Iota's memory coil from her Animus Speculum and review her confrontation with the creature known as Spear. Hail Horus! Following his promotion to Warmaster, Horus had solicited the opinions and advice of all his brother Primarchs on the subject since the honour had been bestowed upon him. Retrieved The Salamanders, along with the Iron Hands and the Raven Guard, would spend the remainder of the Horus Heresy rebuilding their decimated Legions and were too weakened to play any further role in the great conflict. I felt utterly lost. London: Palgrave Macmillan, You see, when I am reading poetry I want the poet to shake me to speak to me.

Super-heavy tanks fired in salute of Horus, and the towering immensity of the Dies Irae inclined its massive head in a gesture of respect. Nov 25, Jilian rated it really liked it. On 20 November , the first set of photos were released showing the vault of the grotto which is encrusted with colourful mosaics, pumice stones and seashells. Key themes of Hughes, themes which would continue to develop throughout his poetic career, have their roots in Lupercal. Before this could happen, the Word Bearers ' First Chaplain Erebus broke the news to Horus: their daemonic allies in the Warp had informed them that the Dark Angels and Space Wolves Legions were nearing Terra; and the Ultramarines were only a short distance behind. Horus' homeworld was the Hive World of Cthonia which lay only a few light years from Terra. Unfortunately, the Space Wolves ' unexpected assault on the Thousand Sons' homeworld -- a brutal campaign remembered as the Scouring of Prospero -- resulted in the destruction of the libraries of precious knowledge that Magnus and his fellow Thousand Sons held so dear. I shall certainly be giving it another read soon. The Emperor of Mankind upon the Golden Throne. Only when the planet was cleansed did the rage of the Blood Angels finally subside. The first stone theater in Rome was to have overlooked the Lupercal. Search the internet, and you can find plenty of stories about him—or them. Matthew rated it really liked it Sep 14, During this journey, Lorgar entered the Eye of Terror and came face-to-face with the power of Chaos , a force that he believed was truly divine and worthy of his service and the worship of all Mankind. Nevertheless, he still had to make preparations for the inevitable response of the Emperor, which was likely to arrive more quickly than anticipated and the Traitors needed to be prepared for it. He was also the first Imperial Warmaster , the most favoured son of the Emperor, and ultimately, the greatest traitor in the history of Mankind. The Emperor spent much time with His protege, teaching and encouraging him. With his flanks covered and the Space Marine forces that could potentially reinforce the heart of the Imperium soon to be embroiled in war, the Traitors were ready to unleash 7 Terran years of devastating civil war upon the Imperium in the name of Horus and the Dark Gods. First Chaplain Erebus with the stolen Kinebrach Anathame. The Emperor suffered grievous wounds at Horus' hands, and after a score of thrusts, parries and counter-thrusts between the Emperor's Runesword and his own Lightning Claw , Horus sliced open the Emperor's chest armour, then opened his jugular and severed the tendons in his right wrist, disarming the Emperor. This collection hasn't got the immediacy of some of his later works, yet one senses the depth of feeling through the involuted text, and the deepening valley of meaning that will only give its secrets to those willing to dig beneath the surface. We will make immediate preparation for the invasion of Terra and an assault on the Imperial Palace. Although this was the usual rhetoric for such Imperial announcements, Horus saw that while the Emperor remained behind in the Imperial Palace on Terra for reasons that he would not share even with his sons, Horus would be out in the field of battle, winning the Emperor's Imperium for him. Yet the Blood Angels' Primarch was not beaten, only stunned by the force of the impact. Malcador could not speak, such was the concentration he had to bring to bear in order to control the tempestous forces at his call. Mark Antony is instructed by Caesar to strike his wife Calpurnia , in the hope that she will be able to conceive. Catholic Online. He just wasn't for me. If all you know about Lupercalia is that it was the background for Mark Antony to offer the crown to Caesar 3 times in Act I of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar , you probably wouldn't guess that Lupercalia was associated with Valentine's Day.

  • Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire

    Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire

    Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire Richard C. Carrier The regularity and consistency of human imagination may be first displayed in the beliefs connected with eclipses. It is well known that these phenomena, to us now crucial instances of the exactness of natural laws, are, throughout the lower stages of civilization, the very embodiment of miraculous disaster.1 Fifteen hundred years have not yet passed since Greece numbered and named the stars and yet many nations today only know the heavens by their appearance, and do not yet understand why the moon fails or how it is overshadowed.2 More than fifteen hundred years separates these two remarks. Each reveals a gulf between the learned and unlearned, but for Tylor it is a contrast between today and long ago, or here and far away, while for Seneca it is a contrast between the wise and the vulgar, who live in the same time and place. For the lunar and solar eclipse is a phenomenon where the strongest and clearest divide appears between the educated Roman and the common multitude. In contrast with almost everything else in Roman experience, from earthquakes to disease, eclipses of sun and moon can be understood in their entirety, and explained with mathematical precision, without the aid of advanced technology or modern scientific methods. But to those who lacked the encouragement to employ careful observation and physical explanation, and who lacked the breadth of information available to the literate, the eclipse was the most awesome and dire event in human experience.

    Ritual Cleaning-Up of the City: from the Lupercalia to the Argei*

    RITUAL CLEANING-UP OF THE CITY: FROM THE LUPERCALIA TO THE ARGEI* This paper is not an analysis of the fine aspects of ritual, myth and ety- mology. I do not intend to guess the exact meaning of Luperci and Argei, or why the former sacrificed a dog and the latter were bound hand and foot. What I want to examine is the role of the festivals of the Lupercalia and the Argei in the functioning of the Roman community. The best-informed among ancient writers were convinced that these were purification cere- monies. I assume that the ancients knew what they were talking about and propose, first, to establish the nature of the ritual cleanliness of the city, and second, see by what techniques the two festivals achieved that goal. What, in the perception of the Romans themselves, normally made their city unclean? What were the ordinary, repetitive sources of pollution in pre-Imperial Rome, before the concept of the cura Urbis was refined? The answer to this is provided by taboos and restrictions on certain sub- stances, and also certain activities, in the City. First, there is a rule from the Twelve Tables with Cicero’s curiously anachronistic comment: «hominem mortuum», inquit lex in duodecim, «in urbe ne sepelito neve urito», credo vel propter ignis periculum (De leg. II 58). Secondly, we have the edict of the praetor L. Sentius C.f., known from three inscrip- tions dating from the beginning of the first century BC1: L. Sentius C. f. pr(aetor) de sen(atus) sent(entia) loca terminanda coer(avit).

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

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.
  • THE POLITICS of TEMPORA the Last Years of Augustus' Life and Those

    THE POLITICS of TEMPORA the Last Years of Augustus' Life and Those

    CHAPTER ONE THE POLITICS OF TEMPORA The last years of Augustus’ life and those just after his death, the years during which Ovid’s Fasti was composed and revised, found Rome poised on the brink of a new definition of her future and a re-reading of the past that brought her to that point. If in earlier years Augustus’ gradual negotiation and adjustment of his own posi- tion in relation to the Republican past and the dictatorship of Caesar had been at center stage, now the steadily growing importance and uncertainty of the succession found Rome also concerned with the future, and with the assurance of continuity and stability.1 Janus, the Fasti’s first divine informant and a god of programmatic importance for the Fasti,2 seems to stand at this historical point, looking before him and behind him at once: Iane biceps, anni tacite labentis origo,/solus de superis qui tua terga vides [Two-headed Janus, font of the silently slipping year, the only god who can see his own back] (1.65–66). As the god of each new beginning, but one who “sees his back” as well, Janus provides a link between past, present and future. The poet addresses to him a prayer for the continuance of the “worry- free peace” provided by Rome’s present leaders, her duces, who are now plural as a new one succeeds to the first. Janus might seem an unlikely candidate for a guarantor of stability—his old name, after all, was Chaos—but his description of the means by which chaos gave way to the present order is telling: me Chaos antiqui (nam sum res prisca) vocabant: aspice quam longi temporis acta canam.
  • WHAT SHOULD WE CALL OUR PLANET? by Herman Greene

    WHAT SHOULD WE CALL OUR PLANET? by Herman Greene

    “The earth,” “earth,” or “Earth?” WHAT SHOULD WE CALL OUR PLANET? By Herman Greene Should we call our planet “the earth,” “earth,” or “Earth”? Generally our planet should be called “Earth.” Like the other planets, it should be capitalized and generally not be preceded by “the.” When earth refers to soil, it should not be capitalized. We don’t say, the Mars, and certainly not the mars, or the Venus or the Pluto. It is in keeping with the Gaia theory that we think of Earth as having a kind of organic unity and therefore receive a personal name. Earth is a subject. Technically there was no Greek God name Earth. In Greece, the personification of Earth was Gaia, one of the Greek primordial deities. According to Wikipedia: These deities are a group of gods from which all others descend. They most notably include Uranus (Father Sky) and Gaia (Mother Earth), who preceded the Titans, who themselves preceded the Olympians. In Roman mythology, Tellus or Terra Mater was a goddess of Earth. Wikipedia gives this etymology of Earth: The modern English word Earth developed from a wide variety of Middle English forms, which derived from an Old English noun most often spelled eorðe. It has cognates in every Germanic language, and their proto-Germanic root has been reconstructed as erþō. In its earliest appearances, eorðe was already being used to translate the many senses of Latin terra and Greek γῆ (gē): the ground, its soil, dry land, the human world, the surface of the world (including the sea), and the globe itself.

Department of Classics, March 2011. ADVISOR: Stacie Raucci Propertius was a Roman elegist writing during the early years of Augustus’ reign as emperor. His fourth and final book of elegies has long confounded scholars due to its drastic shift in subject matter from love elegy to aetiology. So, too, did the poet’s political stance seem to change: vehemently anti-Augustus in his earlier books, a number of poems in his fourth seem to extol both the sociopolitical climate of Augustan Rome as well as the emperor himself.
