  • Contested Triumphs
    chapter 1 Triumphal Decision Making and the SPQR Tacitus’s Annales opens: “From the beginning kings held the city of Rome.”1 If indeed, as both Livy and the Fasti would have it, Romulus and his regal successors also celebrated the earliest triumphs,2 then they did so presum- ably on their own merits and by their own sovereign proclamation, needing no further sanction from anyone else. But under the Republic the situation grew far more complex, as command of Roman armies, and hence the opportunity to become the focus of a victory celebration, passed from the kings to the consuls and dictatores, later joined also by promagistrates and eventually praetors too.3 How then was it determined who deserved to triumph? The answer to this question turns out to be as subtle and multi- layered as the Republican constitution itself. For each recorded triumph, the Fasti Triumphales include the follow- ing: the name of the triumphator (including patronymics and cognomen); the offi ce that he held at the time; a Roman numeral, where appropriate, to mark a second triumph (or third, or fourth, etc.) by the same individ- ual; the name of the enemy over whom he celebrated his victory (marked by de plus the ablative case); and the year (from the founding of the city), the month, and the date when the triumph took place. Although a special 1. Tac. Ann. 1.1: “urbem Romam a principio reges habuere.” 2. For the earliest entries in the Fasti, see Degrassi 1947, 64 – 65, 534 – 35. Livy describes Romulus’s procession to the Capitoline with the spoils of his victory at 1.10.5 but does not call it a triumph.

  • SPQR: a History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2016/03/11/iwd2016-book-review-spqr-by-mary-beard/ #IWD2016 Book Review: SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard With SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome , the renowned Cambridge classicist Mary Beard presents a new history of ‘the Senate and People of Rome’, covering over 1,000 years and a diverse array of themes. Marion Koob applauds this superb book for its gripping narrative threads, its persuasive account of Rome’s contemporary relevance and for drawing attention away from the colourful personalities of the Roman emperors to instead consider the structures and patterns of power through which they ruled. Put simply, this is an essential read. SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome . Mary Beard. Profile Books. 2015. Accounting for the rise or fall of the ancient Roman civilisation is almost something of a rite of passage for each generation. Every couple of decades or so, someone undertakes the endeavour, in the process both reflecting new discoveries and the prejudices and anxieties of their epoch. It makes for brilliant historiography. Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at Newham College, Cambridge, as well as author of numerous books on the ancient world, is the next to step into the fray. And to call SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome anything less than superb would be doing it a severe injustice. Starting at the earliest settlements of ancient Rome, Beard concludes her history at the moment that Emperor Caracalla granted Roman citizenship to all of his subjects, when, she argues, the nature of the Roman world irreversibly shifted.

  • SPQR- the Senate & the People of Rome
    World Studies from 750 B.C. to 1600 A.D Name_________________________________________________________ SS1 SS2 SS3 Date ______________________________________ The Roman Republic Read each short article and follow the directions afterward. SPQR - The Senate & the People of Rome If you were walking down the streets of Rome during the republic era, you would see the letters SPQR everywhere. In fact, you can still see them carved in buildings in Rome and on ancient coins. The letters SPQR stood for (in Latin) Senatus Populus Que Romanusa - in English that translates to “the Senate and the People of Rome.” After defeating Tarquin, the last Roman king, the people started a new type of government, a republic. A republic is a type of government whereby people elect officials to represent them in government. This form of government was VERY unusual at the time. Most nations were ruled by kings, powerful oligarchies or military dictators. Romans knew they were doing something special. As a publicity campaign, and as propaganda, the new senate had the letters SPQR chiseled, branded, or stamped on everything that they controlled. Public buildings, furniture, sidewalks, documents, new coins, and even park benches got the letters SPQR added to them. The people of Rome were proud of their new government, and were reminded every time that they saw SPQR that they were a part of the Roman Republic, and no longer ruled by a king. 1. Underline a passage from the text that tells what SPQR means in Latin. 2. Double underline a passage from the text that tells what SPQR means in English.

  • Ravenna, a Study by Edward Hutton</H1>
    Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Produced by Ted Garvin, Leonard Johnson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. RAVENNA A STUDY BY EDWARD HUTTON ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR AND LINE by HARALD SUND 1913 TO MY FRIEND ARTHUR SYMONS IN AFFECTIONATE HOMAGE page 1 / 345 PREFACE My intention in writing this book has been to demonstrate the unique importance of Ravenna in the history of Italy and of Europe, especially during the Dark Age from the time of Alaric's first descent into the Cisalpine plain to the coming of Charlemagne. That importance, as it seems to me, has been wholly or almost wholly misunderstood, and certainly, as I understand it, has never been explained. In this book, which is offered to the public not without a keen sense of its inadequacy, I have tried to show in as clear a manner as was at my command, what Ravenna really was in the political geography of the empire, and to explain the part that position allowed her to play in the great tragedy of the decline and fall of the Roman administration. If I have succeeded in this I am amply repaid for all the labour the book has cost me. The principal sources, both ancient and modern, which I have consulted in the preparation of this volume have been cited, but I must here acknowledge the special debt I owe to the late Dr. Hodgkin, to Professor Diehl, to Dr. Corrado Ricci, and to the many contributors to the various Italian Bollettini which I have ransacked.

One thing became clear quite quickly: thanks to the combined efforts of Monty Python and Eddie Izzard, I am entirely unable to take the ancient Romans in any way seriously. But expansion put great power in the hands of individual commanders. Or the sixteenth? I used to read a ton of it but, for reasons I can't recall or explain, I stopped quite a few years ago, focusing entirely on fiction. I loved reading this.

  • Rome's Role in Imperial Propaganda and Policy, 293-324 Ce
    ROME’S ROLE IN IMPERIAL PROPAGANDA AND POLICY, 293-324 CE ROMA, AUCTRIX IMPERII? ROME’S ROLE IN IMPERIAL PROPAGANDA AND POLICY FROM 293 CE UNTIL 324 CE By JOHN M. FABIANO, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by John Fabiano, September 2013 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2013) Hamilton, Ontario (Classics) TITLE: Roma, Auctrix Imperii? Rome’s Role in Imperial Propaganda and Policy from 293 CE until 324 CE AUTHOR: John Fabiano, B.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor M. Beckmann NUMBER OF PAGES: xiii, 198 i Abstract By the early fourth century Rome was more than a thousand years old and the historical caput mundi was, accordingly, steeped in long established traditions. It was these historical traditions and memories that served as paradigms for understanding present circumstances. One such paradigm was the relationship between Rome and her emperors. Traditionally, monarchical power was the antithesis of the Roman Republican model, yet Augustus uniquely altered this model and established a new acceptable paradigm wherein the emperor was the princeps civitatis and the patron to all Romans. This imperial patronage was characterized primarily by the commissioning of public buildings in the Urbs and the maintenance of Rome’s cults and traditions. Therefore, Rome was inextricably intertwined with the legitimacy, success (or failure), and longevity of an emperor’s reign. Throughout the third century, however, Rome was plagued by manifold crises and the paradigmatic relationship between Rome and her rulers began to break down, such that some scholars have suggested that from 293 CE and the establishment of the tetrarchy Rome became increasingly manifest wherever the emperors were, with the city itself becoming nothing more than a peripheral concern.

  • Latin Abbreviations Used in Research
    Common Latin Abbreviations Used in Research: A.D. Anno Domini. Used to date years by reckoning the date of Christ's birth, as opposed to B.C., the years "Before Christ." Literally, Anno Domini means "In the year of the Lord." Remember two important notes! Anno Domini does not mean "After Death." (If it did, there would be a thirty-three year gap between 1 B.C. and the crucifixion thirty-three years later). Also note the politically correct tendency is to use the abbreviation "CE" (Common Era) and "BCE" (Before Common Era). These abbreviations are an attempt to avoid the religious connotations of the Latin abbreviation. In spite of the name change, BCE. and CE still divide history according to the life of Christ, but when writing for a Jewish, Buddhist, or Islamic audience, keep in mind the CE and BCE are considered more polite and religiously neutral. cf. confere. A Latin imperative suggesting the reader should compare and contrast one statement or idea with another one. Literally, “compare.” Researchers often follow the abbreviation with a reference to an author or page number, suggesting the reader look for similarities and differences between what a previous citation has said with the subsequent source listed. Usage: Some scholars think Hitler’s Mein Kampf used genocidal ideas found in earlier anti-Semitic literature him (Smith 42), but others argue Hitler himself was the primary originator (cf. Jones 98). c. circa. Used to show that a date is approximate. Literally, the word means "around," and it is sometimes abbreviated "ca." Usage: Shortly after Henry IV seized the throne from Richard II, Geoffrey Chaucer died (c.1400 A.D.), perhaps due to old age.
