Dean of the Graduate College 91648 ~31 ii PREFACE The Jugurthine War occurred within the transitional period of Roman politics between the Gracchi and the rise of military dictators~ The era of the Numidian conflict is significant, for during that inter­ val the equites gained political strength, and the Roman army was transformed into a personal, professional army which no longer served the state, but dedicated itself to its commander. The primary o~jec­ tive of this study is to illustrate the role that political events in Rome during the Jugurthine War played in transforming the Republic into the Principate. I would like to thank my adviser, Dr. Neil Hackett, for his patient guidance and scholarly assistance, and to also acknowledge the aid of the other members of my counnittee, Dr. George Jewsbury and Dr. Michael Smith, in preparing my final draft. Important financial aid to my degree came from the Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire Memorial Scholarship. The Muskogee Civitan Club offered my name to the Civitan International Scholarship Selection Committee, and I am grateful for their ass.istance. A note of thanks is given to the staff of the Oklahoma State Uni­ versity Library, especially Ms. Vicki Withers, for their overall assis­ tance, particularly in securing material from other libraries.

  • Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus 63 B.C. - 14 A.D
    Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus 63 B.C. - 14 A.D. Rise to Power 44 B.C. Although great-nephew to Julius Caesar, Octavius was named Caesar’s adopted son in his will; at the age of eighteen, he became Caesar’s heir, inherit- ing, besides his material estate, the all- important loyalty of Caesar’s troops. By law required to assume the name Octavianus to reflect his biological origins, he raised a large army in Italy, and swayed two legions of his rival Marcus Antonius to join his army. 43 B.C. Following the deaths of the ruling consuls, Hirtius and Pansa, in fighting between Antony and the senate’s forces, Octavian was left in sole command of the consular armies. When the senate attempted to grant their command to Decimus Brutus, one of Caesar's assassins, Octavian refused to hand over the armies, and marched into Rome at the head of eight legions. He had demanded the consulship; when the senate refused, he ran for the office, and was elected. Marc Antony formed an alliance with Marcus Lepidus. Recognizing the undeniable strength of Octavian’s support, the two men entered into an arrangement with him, sanctioned by Roman law, for a maximum period of five years. This limited alliance, designed to establish a balance in the powers among the three rivals while also increasing their powers, was called the Second Triumvirate. Octavian, Antony and Lepidus initiated a period of proscriptions, or forcible takeovers of the estates and assets of wealthy Romans. While the primary reason for the campaign was probably to gain funds to pay their troops, the proscriptions also served to eliminate a number of their chief rivals, critics, and any- one who might pose a threat to their power.

    Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Divi Filius Augustus Samulus Maximus Source: Mrs. Robinson’s notes and www.roman-emperors.org Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Divi Filius Augustus passed away at the age of 76 on August 19, 14 A.D. in Nola, Italy The cause of death is unspecified. Augustus was the founder of the Roman Empire, its first Emperor. He ruled from 27 B.C. until his death in 14 A.D. His parents were Atia and Gaius Octavius. His sibling was Octavia Minor. He had three spouses; Clodia Pulchra (42 B.C. – 40 B.C.), Scribonia (40 B.C.-38 B.C.), and Livia (37 B.C. – 14 A.D.). His daughter is Julia and his adopted son is Tiberius. His two adopted grandchildren are Gaius and Lucius Agrippa. He lived simply and desired peace, order, and stability as emperor of Rome. Augustus had had many major accomplishments and achievements throughout his life. He paid the soldiers. He also paid good governors and removed corrupt ones. Augustus put soldiers on the borders of his empire to protect his people. He taxed fairly to pay for roads, bridges, aqueducts, monuments, temples, library, theatres, police and fire departments, postal system, and the civil service system. Augustus gave citizenship to people living in provinces and gave land to the veterans. He publicly gave power to the Senate because Caesar did not last long as a dictator. Augustus ended the civil wars. He improved sanitation, constructed new buildings, and streamlined the city’s civil administration. As many say, “Augustus found Rome in brick and left it in marble.” The funeral service will be held at Nola Cemetery on the 29 of August 14, A.D.

  • Cleopatra Was the Last Pharaoh of Egypt, and the Last of the Ptolemy Dynasty of Egyptian Rulers
    CLEOPATRA WAS THE LAST PHARAOH OF EGYPT, AND THE LAST OF THE PTOLEMY DYNASTY OF EGYPTIAN RULERS Cleopatra VII Background: The Ptolemaic dynasty was a Macedonian Greek royal family, which ruled the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Their rule lasted for 275 years, from 305 BC to 30 BC. They were the last dynasty of ancient Egypt. Ptolemy, one of the seven somatophylakes (bodyguards) who served as Alexander the Great's generals and deputies, was appointed governor of Egypt after Alexander's death in 323 BC. In 305 BC, he declared himself Ptolemy I. The Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemy’s as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Ptolemy's family ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest of 30 BC. The most famous member of the line was the last queen, Cleopatra VII. The timeline of the life of Cleopatra VII: Cleopatra VII was born in early 69 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. The name Cleopatra symbolises ‘glory of the father’. She was one of the five children of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra V of Egypt. There is no record of Cleopatra's mother after her birth, leaving her father to be her primary influence. Her sibling’s names included Berenike IV, Arsinoe IV, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV. In 58 BC, her father Ptolemy XII was expelled from Egypt and fled to Rome with Cleopatra VII. His other daughter Berenike IV seized the throne in his absence, but by 55 BC, Rome’s leaders reinstalled him, and executed Berenike IV, making Cleopatra VII the next in line for the throne.

  • Heroes and Heroines: King David, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Napoleon
    Heroes and Heroines: King David, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Napoleon Destiny Adams Sharpstown Middle School Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. —Ralph Waldo Emerson INTRODUCTION In the past centuries, a hero was a mythological or legendary figure of great strength or ability, admired for achievements and qualities, who showed great courage and was an outstanding soldier or warrior. In modern times, the concept of heroism has evolved to include diverse ideals such as empathy, perseverance and charisma. Women, children and even animals are now revered for their acts of heroism. This is a great change from what was considered the criteria of the past. I will help my students learn about certain heroes from history in order to shape new concepts for today. Growing up in the metropolitan area of Houston, the Museum district was full of famous local artists and musicians. I learned that many of them had also been in the military at some point in their lives. It was as if their dedication to their work was as determined as their times in the service. Some had stories of war times and living through depression and recessions: they had endured many economic storms. To me as a child these artists were heroes because they had overcome difficulties in life and achieved greatness. Most men in my family had served in the military; many times during war, and this knowledge about my relatives gave me a special interest in historical military leaders. That curiosity led to the discovery of political history and the leaders that help to mold the times in which we live.

  • Caesar's Women
    CAESAR’S WOMEN Mother Aurelia Cotta (c. 120-54 BC) Tacitus (Dialogus de oratoribus section xxviii) and Plutarch (Caesar’s Life) both portray her as respectable, renowned for brains and beauty. She and her brother, Gaius Cotta, both defended Caesar after he refused to divorce his wife, Cornelia Cinna. She gave evidence at the Bona Dea trial.1 Aunt Julia (c. 130-69 BC) Married Gaius Marius. Her devotion to him and to their son contributed to her reputation, which allowed her to keep her status even during Sulla’s persecutions of Marius and his allies. Caesar gave a funeral oration for her. Sisters Julia Major (c. 102-68) Married to Lucius Pinarius and to Quintus Pedius, one son from each union. Her grandsons (sons?) Lucius Pinarius and Quintus Pedius were named in Julius Caesar’s will along with Octavian. Either she or her sister testified, along with their mother, at the Bona Dea trial. Julia Minor (101-51 BC) Married Marcus Atius Balbus. Her second daughter, Atia Balba Caesonia, was the mother of Octavia Minor and Octavian, who delivered her funeral oration at ten years of age. Daughter Julia (c. 76-54 BC) Caesar broke off her first engagement so that she could marry Pompey. Despite the c. 30-year difference in their ages, the union was a happy one. In 55 BC she suffered a miscarriage after seeing blood on Pompey’s toga (not his own); she died in childbirth the following year. Due to the will of the people (and despite the attempted interference by the enemies of her father and husband), her ashes were placed in the Campus Martius.

During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army. After assuming control of government, Caesar began a program of social and governmental reforms, including the creation of the Julian calendar. He gave citizenship to many residents of far regions of the Roman Republic. He initiated land reform and support for veterans. He centralized the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed " dictator for life " Latin: " dictator perpetuo ". His populist and authoritarian reforms angered the elites, who began to conspire against him.
