  • Herodian History of the Roman Empire Source 2: Aulus Gellius Attic
    insulae: how the masses lived Fires Romans Romans in f cus One of the greatest risks of living in the densely populated city of Rome, and particularly in insulae was that of fires. Fires broke out easily (due to people cooking on open flames), spread easily (due to buildings being constructed out of wood, and buildings being built so closely together) and were hard to control. Several times large parts of the city went up in flames. It was not unusual for imperial funds to make good losses of impoverished wealthy citizens in the wake of a fire. Source 1: Herodian History of the Roman Empire In this passage from Herodian riots have broken out in the city of Rome, and soldiers combatting civilians started setting fire to houses. The soldiers did, however, set fire to houses that had wooden balconies (and there were many of this type in the city). Because a great number of houses were made chiefly of wood, the fire spread very rapidly and without a break throughout most of the city. Many men who lost their vast and magnificent properties, valuable for the large incomes they produced and for their expensive decorations, were reduced from wealth to poverty. A great many people died in the fire, unable to escape because the exits had been blocked by the flames. All the property of the wealthy was looted when the criminal and worthless elements in the city joined with the soldiers in plundering. And the part of Rome destroyed by fire was greater in extent than the largest intact city in the empire.

QUIROGA PUERTAS (University of Granada, Spain)2 Abstract: This paper aims to study the use of the Greek verb λεξιθηρέω in Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae. Its coinage in the work of the Roman author is indicative of a cultural programme, and reflects contemporary concerns on the appropriate use of language. Keywords: λεξιθηρέω; Aulus Gellius; otium; literary cultura. The second century AD was a period that witnessed the efflorescence of polymaths and works of miscellaneous content. Gelliusʼ Attic Nights is a fine example of this genre that offers, among many anecdotes and accounts of all kinds, a detailed evaluation of the social and cultural milieu of the period. Charlatans, belletrists and grammarians competed in order to im- pose their cultural agendas. In this context, Gelliusʼ criticism of the ex- cessive philological zeal (as exemplified by the use of the verb λεξιθηρέω NA 2.9), of grammarians’ pedantic debates, and the presence of opsimaths in the cultural milieu, shed light on issues concerning culture and education in the second century AD.

  • Reading and Writing Gellius: the Act of Composition in the Attic Nights by Austin Chapman M.A
    Reading and Writing Gellius: The Act of Composition in the Attic Nights by Austin Chapman M.A. (Classics, University of Cincinnati) B.A. (History, Furman University) A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (CLASSICS) Committee Chair: Holt Parker, Ph.D. September 2015 Abstract Here I argue that Gellius uses the loose design of his Attic Nights to interact both playfully and instructively with his reader, and that he does so in such a way that the purpose of the Nights is found to be reproductive, replicating the activities of its author (Gellius) in the minds and, ideally, the activities of its readers. To demonstrate how Gellius creates this unique author-reader relationship as the ordo of the text unfolds, I read the Nights sequentially. In close readings of three books of the Attic Nights (Books 1, 2, and 14), I explore how Gellius develops themes over the course of each book and uses those themes to articulate his relationship with the reader. In order to pick out sequences that supply meaning to a sequential reading of such an apparently disordered text, I take advantage, at least initially, of the approach of Gibson and Morello (2012) to the Letters of Pliny the Younger, where a multitude of units (epistles, in Pliny’s case) are placed so as to appear well-mixed but also create sequences in which certain patterns emerge, suggesting a loose design. Following Gibson and Morello’s model, I begin by noticing a more-or-less obvious pattern in Book 2 and “re-read” the book with that pattern in mind; through that re-reading, I discover that Gellius highlights a father-son relationship as an analogue for the relationship between himself and his reader.

Twentieth Century Commentaries 324 Bibliography IV: Commentaries 328 274 | AULUS GELLIUS Fortuna With the exception of one problematic passage in Fronto, to be discussed below, our knowledge of Aulus Gellius’ life comes entirely from his only known work, a learned miscellany in twenty books covering matters of language, litera- ture, history, law, and much else, presented sometimes in straightforward exposi- tion, sometimes in reports of discourses and debates, and full of quotations from earlier authors whose works in many cases have not survived; the entire collec- tion is preceded by a preface and a summary of contents, chapter by chapter. Produced in an age when the authors who wrote before Cicero were preferred to those who wrote after him (Sallust is an exception, and for Gellius, though not for Fronto, Vergil), it is written in a style that, without consistently imitating the pre-classical authors, often exhibits words and phrases taken from them, many of which Gellius himself discusses in other chapters. The work is calledNoctes Atticae, “quoniam longinquis per hiemem noc- tibus in agro, sicuti dixi, terrae Atticae commentationes hasce ludere ac facere exorsi sumus” (Praefatio 4; “sicuti dixi” refers back to the lost beginning of this preface).

    Platonic interpretation in Aulus Gellius Tarrant, H A S Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1996; 37, 2; ProQuest pg. 173 Platonic Interpretation in Aulus Gellius H. A. S. Tarrant THOUGH IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE that historians of philos­ ophy prefer to deal with material from the philosophers' 1\own works, the works of informed amateurs can often say much about the intellectual world in which they lived, and may supplement comparatively meagre information from the pens of esteemed professionals. The Platonism of the second century is particularly prone to this problem, with a much fuller picture being built with the help of those whom we are inclined to think of only secondarily as philosophers. Plutarch can be fitted into this category in spite of his standing in philosophy. The figures of Theon of Smyrna, Apuleius, and Maximus of Tyre all contribute considerably to the picture of a vital new Pla­ tonism, which none of them has quite seemed to master. Many principal figures wi thin the philosophical schools, such as Taurus, Atticus, and Numenius, are by contrast known only from fragments, and these fragments frequently derive from non-philosophers. Much of what is known of Taurus comes from Aulus Gellius, himself no theorist.! His Noctes Atticae mark the reflections of a fairly conservative, practically minded Roman on his educa­ tional experiences in Greece. The issues about which he writes are sometimes interesting, sometimes less so, sometimes of far­ reaching importance, sometimes of curiosity-value only. All are treated quite briefly, from the simplest matters of etymology and pseudo-etymology to the treatment of the most far­ reaching ethical questions.
