Symmachus to AUSONIUS Your learned pages, which I received while stay- ing at Capua, brought me sheer delight. For there was in them a certain gaiety overlaid with honey from Tully's hive, and some eulogy on my discourse flattering rather than deserved. And so I am at a loss to decide which to admire the more—the graces of your diction or of your disposition. Indeed you so far surpass all others in eloquence that I fear to write in reply ; you so generously approve my essays that I am glad not to keep silence. If I say more in your praise, I shall seem to be ''scratching your back" and to be copying more than complimenting your address to me. Moreover, since you do nothing consciously for the sake of display, I must beware of praising your natural good qualities as though they were studied. Tliis one thing, however, I must tell you as an absolute fact—that there is no man alive whom I love more than you, so deeply pledged in honest affection have vou always held me.

For it is easier to hold hot coals in one's mouth than to keep the secret of a brilliant work. Once you have let a poem out of your hands, you have i-enounced all your rights : a speech delivered is common property. Or do you fear the venom of some jealous reader, and that your book may smart from the snap of his rude fangs ? You are the one man who u[) to now has owed nothing to partiality, lost nothing through jealousy. Involuntarily every- one, perverse or honest, finds you admirable. There- fore banish henceforth your groundless fears, and let your pen run on so that you may often be betrayed. At any rate assign some didactic or hortatory' poem to my name also. Run the risk of my keeping silence ; and though I desire to give you proof of it, yet I dare not guarantee it. Well I know how I itch to give voice to your work when you are so popular. For somehow he secures a partnership in the glory who first pronounces another's neat phrases. That is why in comedy authors have won but slight renown, while Roscius, Ambivius,^ and the other players have had no lack of fame. So spend your leisure in such occupation and re- lieve my famine with fresh books. But if in your flight from vainglory you dread a chattering in- former, do you also guarantee me your silence, that I may safely pretend that what you have written is mine !

Do you, above all writers I say, speak so of me—you who soar in faultlessness ? What author is there so brilliant, l>ut he appears unpolished by comparison with you ? Who like you can approach the charm of Aesop, the logical deductions of Isocrates, the arguments of Demosthenes, the richness of Tully, or the felicity of our own Maro ?

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

Introduction Stark broadening parameters of neutral atom and ion lines are of interest for a number of problems in astrophysical, laboratory, laser produced, fusion or technological plasma investigations. Especially the development of space astronomy has enabled the collection of a huge amount of spectroscopic data of all kinds of celestial objects within various spectral ranges.

Of each volume there were printed 400 copies : only the first is yet sold out, and that took 23 years ; and the reason why it took no longer is that it found purchasers among the unlearned, who had heard that it contained a scurrilous preface and hoped to extract from it a low enjoyment.

  • V Vacuna. an Obscure, Ancient Sabine Goddess, Who (From Her Name
    V Vacuna. An obscure, ancient Sabine goddess, who (from her name) was assumed to be a patron of leisure, but her identity is obscure. Varro connected her with *Victoria, and others with Bellona, Diana, Minerva or Venus. Horace writes of a dilapidated shrine to her near his farm, and Pliny mentions her grove in Reate. This may have been on the island of Lake Cutilia (modern Velino), where the ice-cold waters of the goddess of the lake were thought to be a cure for diarrhoea; they failed however in the case of the emperor Vespasian, who died of the disease despite taking the 'aquae Cutiliae'. [Horace Ep 1.10.49 with Porphyrion; Ovid Fasti 6.307-8; Pliny NH 3.109] Valeria. A daughter of Valerius in Tusculum who was in love with her father; her nurse arranged for her to sleep with him in disguise. When Valeria realised she was pregnant she attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff, but survived the fall and returned home. Her father in turn then killed himself from shame. The child was Silvanus, the Roman god of woods and uncultivated land. [Plutarch Stories 311a-b] Veiovis, also written as Vediovis or Vedius. An Etruscan god, with no known mythology, who was, according to Ovid, a version of a young Jupiter, but there also seems to be a connection with *Dis, god of the underworld. The temple at Rome (said to have been built by Romulus) was in a hollow by the Capitol 'between two groves', and was a place of asylum. The statue was of a child with a she-goat, reminiscent of the goat Amalthea who suckled the infant Jupiter in Crete.

Evans http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=17141, The University of Michigan Press C HAPTER FOUR Dissertation II on the Waters and Aqueducts of Ancient Rome o the most eminent and reverend Gaspare Cardinal Carpegna, vicar of T the city, his most gentle master, Raffaello Fabretti, son of Gaspare, of Urbino, sends greetings. 1. introduction Whoever has said that it is not at all necessary to give an account of one’s leisure must have thought, when he said these things, of a man living for himself alone and focused on his own affairs. Far different, indeed, is the case of those whose course of life established by right counsel cannot be under their own control, especially those who must live or must direct their times for both working and being idle at another’s bidding. This has most certainly been my experience, most eminent prince. After I declared myself among your servants and those of your of‹ce, next to the highest in the Roman church, and dedicated my effort and, at the same time, my industry to this task, I ceased to be my own man altogether. I became sub- ject not only to your authority and will but also to your judgment. For this reason, I think it the special duty of my life to be approved by the one alone by whom I can be praised. I therefore understand that I must make the greatest effort that you not think that the leisure you most generously grant me to interrupt my tasks 101 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B.

Hartman A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Stephen Hinds, Chair Alain Gowing Joel Walker Alexander Arweiler Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics University of Washington Abstract Allusion and Cultural Memory in Late Antiquity: Ausonius, Prudentius, and Claudian Joshua J. Hartman Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Stephen Hinds Classics This dissertation explores the influence of poetry on the construction and perpetuation of culturally dominant narratives. I demonstrate that late antique poets were particularly sensitive to the effect that their work had on memory, and I focus on textual allusion as a mechanism that allowed poets to guide readers through negotiations of memory. My first chapter reveals an ancient understanding of cultural memory through a reading of a Republican, rather than a late antique work. My analysis of Cicero’s De Legibus reveals that Cicero, easily the most influential Roman intellectual, intuited the concept of lieux de mémoire, a modern theory of cultural memory that conceives of both texts and sites as “places” where memory can be rehearsed and reinforced. Furthermore, I show that Cicero understood poetry as a force that constructs, transforms, and defends such lieux and the narratives they represent. After establishing that Roman intellectual traditions engaged cultural memory, I turn to the late antique period, particularly to three case studies. Each of my subsequent chapters treats a widely-read poet of the late fourth century.
