  • The Legacy of the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages in the West The
    The Legacy of the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages in the West The Roman Empire reigned from 27 BCE to 476 CE throughout the Mediterranean world, including parts of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 CE marked the end of the period of classical antiquity and ushered in a new era in world history. Three civilizations emerged as successors to the Romans in the Mediterranean world: the Byzantine Empire (in many ways a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire), and the civilizations of Islam and Western Europe. These three civilizations would become rivals and adversaries over the course of the succeeding centuries. They developed distinct religious, cultural, social, political, and linguistic characteristics that shaped the path each civilization would take throughout the course of the Middle Ages and beyond. The Middle Ages in European history refers to the period spanning the fifth through the fifteenth century. The fall of the Western Roman Empire typically represents the beginning of the Middle Ages. Scholars divide the Middle Ages into three eras: the Early Middle Ages (400–1000), the High Middle Ages (1000–1300), and the Late Middle Ages (1300–1500). The Renaissance and the Age of Discovery traditionally mark the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period in European history. The legacy of the Roman Empire, and the division of its territory into three separate civilizations, impacted the course of world history and continues to influence the development of each region to this day.

  • The Latin Principality of Antioch and Its Relationship with the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, 1188-1268 Samuel James Wilson
    The Latin Principality of Antioch and Its Relationship with the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, 1188-1268 Samuel James Wilson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2016 1 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed to the owner of the Intellectual Property Rights. 2 Abstract The Latin principality of Antioch was founded during the First Crusade (1095-1099), and survived for 170 years until its destruction by the Mamluks in 1268. This thesis offers the first full assessment of the thirteenth century principality of Antioch since the publication of Claude Cahen’s La Syrie du nord à l’époque des croisades et la principauté franque d’Antioche in 1940. It examines the Latin principality from its devastation by Saladin in 1188 until the fall of Antioch eighty years later, with a particular focus on its relationship with the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia. This thesis shows how the fate of the two states was closely intertwined for much of this period. The failure of the principality to recover from the major territorial losses it suffered in 1188 can be partly explained by the threat posed by the Cilician Armenians in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.

  • High School Latin Curriculum on Four Myths in Ovid's Metamorphoses
    High School Latin Curriculum on Four Myths in Ovid’s Metamorphoses A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in accordance with the requirements for University Honors with Distinction By Melanie Elizabeth Rund May 2010 Oxford, Ohio ABSTRACT High School Latin Curriculum on Four Myths in Ovid’s Metamorphoses By Melanie Elizabeth Rund In this paper, I offer eight lesson plans and one final assessment on Ovid’s Metamorphoses for upper level high school Latin students. The purpose of this curriculum paper is to explore how Latin high school curriculum can be meaningful, contextualized, and standards based. The lesson plans focus on four myths from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, those of Actaeon and Diana, Baucis and Philemon, Niobe, and Ceyx and Alcyone. Each lesson plan includes objectives, standards addressed, procedures, an anticipatory set, materials list, and an explanation of assessment and evaluation. After creating this curriculum and attending two professional conferences, I conclude that lesson plans should grow and change with the teacher and that a purpose driven curriculum, where Latin is contextualized and meaningful, is essential for successful Latin classrooms. ii High School Latin Curriculum on Four Myths in Ovid’s Metamorphoses By Melanie Elizabeth Rund Approved by: _________________________, Advisor Dr. Judith de Luce ___________________, Reader Dr. Martha Castaneda __________________________, Reader Mr. Jeffery Ruder Accepted by: __________________________, Director University Honors Program iii Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge and appreciate the support and interest that Dr. Judith de Luce, Miami University Classics Department, has shown as I work on the topic of Latin curriculum. As a student, it is beyond encouraging to have a scholar and a teacher express genuine interest in your ideas.

  • RE-EVALUATING the POMPEII AULOI the Pairs of Reed Pipes
    Journal of Hellenic Studies 128 (2008) 52 –71 RE-EVALUATING THE POMPEII AULOI Abstract : The four best-preserved aulos pipes unearthed at Pompeii are examined and their original pitches are as far as possible determined by mathematical analysis. It is argued that the scales of the instruments as well as specific details of their mechanism fit well with our knowledge of music from the Roman Imperial period. The pairs of reed pipes called aulós by the Greeks and tibia in Latin were the dominant wind in - strument of Classical antiquity. 1 Much of theatre, concert hall and everyday music was performed or accompanied by these ‘flutes’, as they are still most often translated, misleading though this is nowadays. 2 The recreation of the aulos, as far as is possible, has therefore been a dream of many interested in the sound of the ancient world. Necessarily, such a recreation not only concerns play - ing technique and timbre, but also involves the question of available scales. Here the written sources give us little information. If they are concerned with the relation of tonal structures to in - struments at all, they address the lyre. 3 Thus one must turn to the remains of actual auloi, of which quite a number have been unearthed. 4 The determination of their scales is generally problematic, however, because of the fragmentary state of most extant artefacts. Even where the upper part of the instrument is not missing, in the absence of the reed mouthpieces the effective length of the vi - brating air column can be inferred only indirectly.

  • The Invention of Latin America: a Transnational History of Anti-Imperialism, Democracy, and Race
    The Invention of Latin America: A Transnational History of Anti-Imperialism, Democracy, and Race MICHEL GOBAT WITH THE PUBLICATION OF Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities in 1983, it has become commonplace among scholars to view nations no longer as things natural but as historical inventions.1 Far less ink has been spilled concerning the formation of larger geopolitical entities such as continents. Many still take their origins for granted. Yet as some scholars have shown, the terms “Africa,” “America,” “Asia,” and “Europe” resulted from complex historical processes.2 The concept of the con- tinent emerged in ancient Greece and guided Europeans in their efforts to dominate other areas of the world, especially from the fourteenth century onward. Non-Eu- ropean societies certainly conceptualized their own geopolitical spaces, but the mas- sive spread of European imperialism in the nineteenth century ensured that the European schema of dividing the world into continents would predominate by the twentieth century.3 The invention of “Latin America” nevertheless reveals that contemporary con- tinental constructs were not always imperial products. True, many scholars assume that French imperialists invented “Latin America” in order to justify their country’s occupation of Mexico (1862–1867).4 And the idea did stem from the French concept of a “Latin race,” which Latin American e´migre´s in Europe helped spread to the other side of the Atlantic. But as Arturo Ardao, Miguel Rojas Mix, and Aims IamverygratefultoVı´ctor Hugo Acun˜a Ortega, Laura Gotkowitz, Agnes Lugo-Ortiz, Diane Miliotes, Jennifer Sessions, the AHR editors, and the anonymous reviewers for their extremely helpful comments.

  • The Power of Latin in Ancient Rome
    Activitydevelop The Power of Latin in Ancient Rome How did the spread of Latin influence power in ancient Rome? Overview Students investigate how the geographic spread of an impactful human system—language— influenced power in ancient Rome. For the complete activity with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.org/activity/power-latin-ancient-rome/ Program Directions 1. Activate students’ prior knowledge. Ask: Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t understand the language being spoken? Invite volunteers who are comfortable doing so to share their experiences with the class. As a class, discuss the common themes that are most likely to come up: feelings of discomfort, confusion, and not being understood (loss of power). Then ask: What would it feel like to be heavily influenced to adopt a language other than English? What would it feel like if the most popular activities and places in the United States today were conducted in or marked with the language of another, currently existing country? Explain to students that, in this activity, they will learn about how the spread of Latin influenced power in ancient Rome and consider how it impacted people in the invaded cities and towns. 2. Have students read about the spread of Latin in ancient Rome. Distribute a copy of the Latin in Ancient Rome worksheet to each student. Divide students into pairs and have pairs work together to read the passage and answer the questions in Part 1. Review the answers as a whole class. Ask: In your own words, describe Romanization. (Romanization is the spread of Roman customs, dress, activities, and language.) How was Latin different for different economic classes? (They had different versions of the language: Vulgar and Classical.) 1 of 6 How do you think the invaded cities and towns felt about switching to Roman customs and language? (Possible response: They probably felt pressured to do so, from both the government and the military, instead of a desire to do so on their own.) 3.

  • Livy's Early History of Rome: the Horatii & Curiatii
    Livy’s Early History of Rome: The Horatii & Curiatii (Book 1.24-26) Mary Sarah Schmidt University of Georgia Summer Institute 2016 [1] The Horatii and Curiatii This project is meant to highlight the story of the Horatii and Curiatii in Rome’s early history as told by Livy. It is intended for use with a Latin class that has learned the majority of their Latin grammar and has knowledge of Rome’s history surrounding Julius Caesar, the civil wars, and the rise of Augustus. The Latin text may be used alone or with the English text of preceding chapters in order to introduce and/or review the early history of Rome. This project can be used in many ways. It may be an opportunity to introduce a new Latin author to students or as a supplement to a history unit. The Latin text may be used on its own with an historical introduction provided by the instructor or the students may read and study the events leading up to the battle of the Horatii and Curiatii as told by Livy. Ideally, the students will read the preceding chapters, noting Livy’s intention of highlighting historical figures whose actions merit imitation or avoidance. This will allow students to develop an understanding of what, according to Livy and his contemporaries, constituted a morally good or bad Roman. Upon reaching the story of the Horatii and Curiatii, not only will students gain practice and understanding of Livy’s Latin literary style, but they will also be faced with the morally confusing Horatius.

  • The Latin Translations Benjamin Kedar
    Chapter Nine The Latin Translations Benjamin Kedar Old Latin Versions HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL DATA The spread of Latin as the official, commercial, and military language of the ancient world was concurrent with the growth of the Roman state and the advance of its armies. Hellenistic Greek maintained, however, for a relatively long time its position as the language of literature, philosophy and religion. The educated Romans as well as significant sections of the population in the prov­ inces were bilingual, the Greek and Latin languages strongly influencing each other in their further development until finally Latin became predominant. 1 This provides the linguistic setting for the operations of the early Christian Church. In the beginning Greek was the cultural language of Christendom, it was then forced to make room for Latin which finally gained absolute dom­ inance. The one consequence of this process that concerns us here is the growing demand for Latin Bible translations, which probably was first felt in the provinces such as North Africa or Southern Gaul but subsequently even in the city of Rome. 2 The first tangible evidence for the existence of a Latin version dates back to the middle of the second century c.E. when Christian writers began to write their treatises in Latin, citing biblical verses and passages in this language. Tertullian (c. 130-230 c. E.) though he himself wrote in both Greek and Latin, testifies to the exclusive use of the Latin language in the African church of his time. In his Latin works we find long scriptural quotations which, however, exhibit such lack of textual consistence that they hardly point to one author­ itative version.
