  • Cola Di Rienzo and the Reenactment of an Ancient Tale: Finding the Prata
    Cola di Rienzo and the Reenactment of an Ancient Tale: Finding the Prata Flaminia in Fourteenth Century Rome Much has been written on the appropriation by Cola di Rienzo (ca. 1313- 54) of the stories and symbols of both republican and imperial Rome to reinforce his short-lived reign of “good government” and his theatrical approach to the assertion of power. (See e.g., A. Schwarz, “Eternal Rome and Cola di Rienzo’s Show of Power” in Postlewate and Hüsker, 2007). From Rienzo’s contemporary biographer, the Anonimo romano, chapter 1, we know that Rienzo was “well acquainted with Livy, Seneca, Cicero and Valerius Maximus.” Rienzo was also on close terms with the poet and classical scholar Francesco Petrarch whom he likely met in Avignon four years prior to his seizure of power. To my knowledge, however, one story from Livy has not been well considered, if at all, in the Rienzo literature for its similarity to the actions of the self declared tribune of the fourteenth century, and yet it is a natural fit for the learned and flamboyant Rienzo and was a story he would have known. This is the tale of Lucius Verginius, the fifth century B.C.E. centurion whose thwarting of the attempted debauchery of his daughter by a ruling decemvir, instigated a secession on the Aventine followed by a gathering on the Prata Flaminia where the plebeians voted to make consul elections subject to their approval. (Livy 3.44-58). Indeed, the tale from 449 B.C.E. bears a striking resemblance to the assembly of Rienzo’s followers on the Aventine on May 18, 1347, followed two days later by the gathering of his “plebeian” mob by the church of Sant’Angelo in Pescheria, the location of the ancient Prata Flaminia.

  • Avignon Vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena
    [Expositions 4.1&2 (2010) 47-62] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747-5376 Avignon vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena THOMAS RENNA Saginaw Valley State University ABSTRACT In the fourteenth century the image of ancient Rome as Babylon was transformed into the positive idea of Rome as both a Christian and a classical ideal. Whereas Dante disassociated Augustine‟s Babylon from imperial Rome, Petrarch turned Avignon into Babylon, a symbol of an avaricious papacy. For Catherine of Siena Avignon was not evil, but a distraction which prevented the pope from reforming the Italian clergy, bringing peace to Italy, and launching the crusade. “There is only one hope of salvation in this place! Here, Christ is sold for gold!”1 And so Francesco Petrarch denounced the Avignon of the popes as the most evil place on earth since the days of ancient Babylon. This view of the Holy See should have disappeared when the papacy returned to Rome in 1377, but it did not. On the contrary, the castigation of the sins of pontiffs intensified, as subsequent ages used this profile to vilify the papacy, the clergy, the French monarchy, and the French nation.2 Not to be outdone, some French historians in the twentieth century sought to correct this received tradition by examining the popes‟ worthy qualities.3 It is curious that this depiction of Avignon as the Babylon Captivity has enjoyed such longevity, even in college textbooks.4 “Corruption” is of course a value judgment as much as a description of actual behavior. Doubtless Pope Clement VI did not think of his curia as “corrupt.” Contemporary citizens of Mongolia do not see Genghis Khan as the monster of the medieval Christian chronicles.

The German social-philosophical tradition of Critical Theory has recently undergone what its current practitioners have themselves described as a “paradigm shift”. Writers like Jurgen Habermas and Kari-Otto Apel are today attempting to reformulate the socially-critica! insights of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno in new terms. Where Horkheimer and Adorno had tried to articulate their critique of existing social relations in a language of “subjectivity” and “objectivity” drawn largely from the classical German philosophical tradition, Habermas and Apel are trying to formulate an - ostensibly - similar critique in a language of “a priori intersubjectivity” drawn from the “ordinary language” and “speech-act" theory which has emerged since the Second World War in the Anglo-American philosophical sphere.

  • Introduction 1
    NOTES Introduction 1. For text and discussion of this important letter, see Petrarch, Senile V 2, ed. Monica Berté (Florence: Le Lettere, 1998). Petrarch’s scribe, who attaches the date “August 28,” seems to have dictated it in 1364, but Boccaccio didn’t receive it until 1366. It was one of three letters (Seniles 5.1–3) stolen and kept as souvenirs of their famed author by the messenger charged with their deliv- ery. Petrarch recovered them and asked his trusted friend Donato Albanzani to carry them to their destination. See the commentary by Ugo Dotti in Pe- trarch’s Lettres de la veillesse. Rerum senilium, ed. Elvira Nota (Paris: Les Belles Lettres, 2003), 2:529, n. 42. For the English, see Petrarch, Letters of Old Age. Rerum senilium libri I–XVII, trans. Aldo S. Bernardo, Saul Levin, and Reta A. Bernardo (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992). 2. Petrarch tries to soothe Boccaccio by recalling Seneca, who ranked Cicero second after Virgil among Latin writers, followed by Asinius Pollio, and then Livy. The fl attering implication is that Boccaccio is “one up” on Livy. In an earlier letter to Boccaccio (Familiares 21.15), Petrarch cringes to think of Dante’s plebian public—fullers, tavern keepers, and woolworkers. He acknowledges, however, Dante’s superiority in the vernacular. See Petrarch Familiares 21.15.24 in Le familiari, ed. Vittorio Rossi and Umberto Bosco (Florence: Sansoni, 1926–42), 4:99: “in vulgari eloquio quam carminibus aut prosa clarior atque altior assurgit”; for the translation, Letters on Familiar Mat- ters: Rerum familiarium libri XVII–XXIV, trans.

    Vespasian Augustus: Imperial Power in the First Century CE by Karen Louise Acton A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Greek and Roman History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor David S. Potter, Chair Professor Bruce W. Frier Assistant Professor Ian S. Moyer Assistant Professor J. Mira Seo Karen Louise Acton 2011 Acknowledgements Completing this project has been a labor of love on my part, but an exercise in patience, wisdom, sympathy, helpfulness, and humor for a very large number of other people. I know that any attempt to name all the people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude would be impossible, and so I will begin by expressing my heartfelt thanks to all the students, staff, and faculty who comprise the Classics community at the University of Michigan, who have never failed to provide me with intellectual support and daily reminders that the study of the ancient world can be – and should be – fun. Some names stand out, however, and I must take this opportunity to thank my committee, my Chair David Potter, Bruce Frier, Ian Moyer, and Mira Seo, for their insight and suggestions; I am also deeply indebted to the faculty of the Program in Greek and Roman History, especially Sara Forsdyke and Ray Van Dam, and to Ruth Scodel. I must also thank Michelle Biggs, for always being able to solve my problems. I would have made no progress without the humor, advice, and friendship of my fellow students; anyone who has ever attended ancient historians’ lunch has helped me in countless ways.
