  • The Late Republic in 5 Timelines (Teacher Guide and Notes)
    1 180 BC: lex Villia Annalis – a law regulating the minimum ages at which a individual could how political office at each stage of the cursus honorum (career path). This was a step to regularising a political career and enforcing limits. 146 BC: The fall of Carthage in North Africa and Corinth in Greece effectively brought an end to Rome’s large overseas campaigns for control of the Mediterranean. This is the point that the historian Sallust sees as the beginning of the decline of the Republic, as Rome had no rivals to compete with and so turn inwards, corrupted by greed. 139 BC: lex Gabinia tabelleria– the first of several laws introduced by tribunes to ensure secret ballots for for voting within the assembliess (this one applied to elections of magistrates). 133 BC – the tribunate of Tiberius Gracchus, who along with his younger brother, is seen as either a social reformer or a demagogue. He introduced an agrarian land that aimed to distribute Roman public land to the poorer elements within Roman society (although this act quite likely increased tensions between the Italian allies and Rome, because it was land on which the Italians lived that was be redistributed). He was killed in 132 BC by a band of senators led by the pontifex maximus (chief priest), because they saw have as a political threat, who was allegedly aiming at kingship. 2 123-121 BC – the younger brother of Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus was tribune in 123 and 122 BC, passing a number of laws, which apparent to have aimed to address a number of socio-economic issues and inequalities.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • The Social and Political Context for Obstruction in Roman Love
    THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT FOR OBSTRUCTION IN ROMAN LOVE ELEGY by AMY K. LEONARD (Under the Direction of Charles Platter) ABSTRACT This thesis will examine the presence of erotic obstruction in the poems of the first century B.C. writers of Roman love elegy: Tibullus, Propertius and Ovid. While erotic poetry prior to this time period had long necessitated a sense of obstruction, the deliberate construction of a failed love-affair by the Roman elegists serves to define their particular use of obstruction as a unique discursive strategy. The observation has been made that the time period marking the emergence and disappearance of Roman elegy qualifies it as a discrete, time-bound genre. In light of these time considerations, the obstruction motif in elegy, as a means of articulating a continual sense of failure, is capable of giving involuntary voice to events taking place on the Roman socio-political front, specifically, as this thesis will argue, a perceived loss of autonomy under the changing political structures at the end of the Republic. INDEX WORDS: Obstruction, Roman love elegy, Tibullus, Propertius, Ovid, Door, Vir, Lena, Illness, Distance, Unfaithfulness, Amores 2.19, Amores 3.4 THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT FOR OBSTRUCTION IN ROMAN LOVE ELEGY by AMY KIRK LEONARD B.A., The University of Georgia, 1996 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2004 © 2004 Amy Kirk Leonard All Rights Reserved THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT FOR OBSTRUCTION IN ROMAN LOVE ELEGY by AMY KIRK LEONARD Major Professor: Charles Platter Committee: Keith Dix Nancy Felson Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2004 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my husband, David Leonard, without whose unconditional support during my years in graduate school I would never have made it to the completion of this degree.

  • Julius Caesar
    Working Paper CEsA CSG 168/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS – JULIUS CAESAR Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Julius Caesar (JC) survived two civil wars: first, leaded by Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius; and second by himself and Pompeius Magnus. Until he was stabbed to death, at a senate session, in the Ides of March of 44 BC. JC has always been loved or hated, since he was alive and throughout History. He was a war hero, as many others. He was a patrician, among many. He was a roman Dictator, but not the only one. So what did he do exactly to get all this attention? Why did he stand out so much from the crowd? What did he represent? JC was a front-runner of his time, not a modern leader of the XXI century; and there are things not accepted today that were considered courageous or even extraordinary achievements back then. This text tries to explain why it’s important to focus on the man; on his life achievements before becoming the most powerful man in Rome; and why he stood out from every other man. Keywords Caesar, Politics, Military, Religion, Assassination. Sumário Júlio César (JC) sobreviveu a duas guerras civis: primeiro, lideradas por Cornélio Sula e Caio Mário; e depois por ele e Pompeius Magnus. Até ser esfaqueado numa sessão do senado nos Idos de Março de 44 AC. JC foi sempre amado ou odiado, quando ainda era vivo e ao longo da História. Ele foi um herói de guerra, como outros. Ele era um patrício, entre muitos. Ele foi um ditador romano, mas não o único.

  • Julius Caesar and the Germans
    Julius Caesar and the Germans Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy This article is proposing a discussion of what was written in De Bello Gallico on Caesar's military campaign against the Germans, in particular against Usipetes and Tencteri. It will also be analyzed what was said by Plutarch about the accusation, made to Caesar by Cato the Younger, of having violated the truce with these Germans. Finally, the texts of Caesar and Plutarch will be compared with what is written in the books by Luciano Canfora and Jérôme Carcopino. Torino, 6 Agosto 2018. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1340670 Recently, some Dutch archaeologists have proposed a reconstruction of the physical appearance of Julius Caesar [1]. The reconstruction, which I discussed in [2-4], was used to launch a book by Tom Buijtendorp, Caesar in de Lage Landen, on Caesar's military campaign against the Germans, in particular against Usipetes and Tencteri tribes, a campaign that took place in the territory crossed by the Rhine and today located in the Netherlands. [5]. Some clarifications on this military campaign are, in my opinion, necessary. They are contained in the article that I am now proposing. In it, the reader will find the analysis of what Caesar wrote in his De Bello Gallico and what Plutarch told about the accusation made to Caesar by Cato the Younger, of violating the truce with these Germans. Finally, the texts of Caesar and Plutarch will be compared with what is written in the books by Luciano Canfora and Jérôme Carcopino. Here the story of what happened.

  • Roman Britain and the Anglo-Saxon Settlements
    Roman Britain and the Anglo-Saxon Settlements History, as the recorded annals of civilized man, began in Englandn in the year 55 B.c., when Julius Caesar's troops waded ashore on the beaches north of Dover.1 Caesar was a man of remarkable military ability and boundless confidence. He was an astute opportunist who rose to power amidst the violent political turmoil of the late Roman Re­ public and a great creative statesman who laid the groundwork for Rome's transformation from republic to empire. It was this man, this military ad­ venturer and political genius, who first brought England into the orbit of civilization. Caesar's invasion of Britain was almost an afterthought to his cam­ paigns against the Gauls. Between 58 and 50 B.C., prior to his rise to supreme power in Rome, he undertook the conquest of an extensive territory known as Gaul, which corresponds very roughly to modern France and was then inhabited by semicivilized Celts. Although Caesar could not realize it, the conquest of Gaul was to have an incalculable influence on the development of \Vestern civilization in later centuries. For Gaul extended far to the north of the Mediterranean Basin, and Caesar's victories brought Roman govern­ ment and culture into the \Vestern European heartland. The Romanization of Gaul proved to be a crucial factor in providing medieval and modern Europe with its enduring classical heritage. 1 Several good general accounts of Roman Britain are available: R. G. Collingwood and J. N. L. Myres, Roman Britain and the English Settlements ( 2nd ed., Oxford, 1937), J.

  • Lucretius and De Rerum Natura: Appreciation and Appraisal
    Lucretius and De Rerum Natura: Appreciation and Appraisal Ï The Man Rome was the birthplace of Lucretius. This fact in itself is not surprising, but it becomes more significant when we reflect that very few of the immortals of Latin letters were Romans by birth. The Rome of Lucretius was that of the Republic. In the divisions of Latin literature the time of the Republic holds an important place, for during the centuries between 245 and 3o B. C. Roman letters had their beginnings, and progressed far enough to prove worthy to succeed if not supersede Greek literature, of the later period. Where Greek literature declined, Latin literature took the ascendant. Repu­ blican Latin bristles with the names of Ennius, father of Latin poetry ; Cato, the eloquent censor, founder of Latin prose ; Plautus and Terence, delighting their hearers with fully Lati­ nized reproductions of later Greek comedy; Cicero, Rome's greatest man of letters; Caesar, greatest of all her sons, rich in achievement with the sword and a writer of merit; Catullus, enchanting lyric poet of the inner shrine; not to mention Luci- lius, the satirist, Horace's fore-runner, and Varro the volumi­ nous writer of Menippean satires and romance. In this galaxy shines Lucretius. His immediate contemporaries were Caesar, Catullus and Cicero, each one of whom has gained distinct recognition in a chosen field of letters. That Lucretius has failed to find the recognition he well deserves, may be due to these two facts, that his appeal is less universal than that of Catullus, for example, and his philosophy less acceptable than that which Cicero champions.
