  • Symmachus. Oration II. to Valentinian. 1 January 370. Introduction
    Symmachus. Oration II. To Valentinian. 1 January 370. Introduction Symmachus, still at court, celebrates Valentinian's third consulship1 in 370. There is a little information about Valentinian's campaigns against the Alamanni and crossing of the Rhine, with much praise for his building program along that frontier. The orator offers an inaccurate but flattering account in §13 of the abortive coordination between the Roman army and the Burgundians. Lenski 2002: 376 observes that this oration and Themistius Or. 10, delivered about the same time with much the same theme, the liminal building program, apparently mark an effort by the emperors to spread the news of their activities; there is little inscriptional evidence for much imperial construction outside of the years close to 370. He concludes that there was coordination between Valentinian and Valens and a well-planned strategy for the frontiers. Matthews 1989: 285–286 discusses the rulers' attempts to show a non-military public what they were getting for their taxes, and what the emperors had to do for them. A number of scholars believe that what Symmachus saw was carefully stage managed (Sogno 2011) so that he would report back favorably to the senate; see Drinkwater 1996, 1999b, Humphries 1999. This includes, according to Drinkwater especially, Valentinian's deliberately exaggerating the dangers at the Rhine and the extent of his counter-measures. Pabst 307 states that one cannot integrate the information from Ausonius, Symmachus, and Ammianus into a coherent history of this brief period. For an outline noting content as well as topoi usual to panegyric, see Del Chicca 1985: 96–98; she notes that this oration consists of "un unico argomento, l'opera di fortificazione e rafforzamento del limes renano persequita da Valentiniano I nel corso dell'anno 369".

  • My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written By: Jerry D
    My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 20 May 2017 Article Number: 259-2017-15 The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing, better known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The three races were inaugurated in different years, the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875. These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year. The Triple Crown Trophy, commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950, is awarded to a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown Trophy Churchill Downs thoroughbred racetrack is located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually (on the first Saturday of May). This race is nicknamed, “The Run for the Roses.” The track is named for John and Henry Churchill who provided the land. It officially opened in 1875 and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 2011. Churchill Downs Front Inside Churchill Downs The Kentucky Derby Pimlico Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racetrack in Baltimore, Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness Stakes. Its name is derived from the 1660s when English settlers named the area where the facility currently stands in honor of Olde Ben Pimlico's Tavern in London. The racetrack is nicknamed "Old Hilltop" after a small rise in the infield that became a favorite gathering place for thoroughbred trainers and race enthusiasts.
