I T a L I E N I t a l i e n Römisches Königreich Seit ca. 700.000 Jahren ist Italien von Menschen bewohnt. Der Gebrauch von Feuer ist seit dieser Zeit archäologisch nachgewiesen. Vor 40.000 verschwand der Neandertaler. Um 6200 v. Chr. sind Einflüsse aus dem östlichen Mittelmeerraum nachzuweisen. Ab dem 8. Jahrhundert v. Chr. begann die griechische Kolonisation Süditaliens. In Oberitalien lebten im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Kelten u. Ligurer, im Nordosten Veneter. Mittelitalien war von Umbrern, Latinern, Sabinern u. Volkskern bewohnt. Im Süden waren die Samniten, Messapier u. Lukanier seßhaft. Die Karthager gründeten Kolonien auf Sizilien u. Sardinien u. standen sie zeitweise mit Rom u. den Etruskern im Bündnis. Rom ging im 8. Jh. aus mehreren Dörfern hervor u. löste 509 v. Chr. die Königsherrschaft u. die Dominanz der Etrusker ab. In den Mythen hatte die Expansion zunächst im Kampf mit den Sabinern u. der Stadt Alba Longa begonnen. Zehn Jahre hatten die Griechen Troja belagert. Aus dem völligen Untergang der Stadt konnte sich Äneas, Sohn der Göttin Venus, mit einigen Trojanern retten. Nach langen Irrfahrten im Mittelmeer kamen sie nach Italien. Nach erkämpftem Heimatrecht, heiratete Äneas die Tochter des Königs von Latium. Unter ihren Nachkommen, Numitor u. Amulius, kam es zum Streit um die Herrschaft. Numitor, der rechtmäßige Herrscher, wurde vertrieben. Jedoch brachte seine Tochter, die sich heimlich mit dem Kriegsgott Mars verheiratet hatte, die Zwillinge Romulus u. Remus zur Welt. Als Romulus u. Remus erwachsen waren, töteten sie Amulius u. setzten ihren Großvater wieder als König ein. Die erste Siedlung auf dem Palatin wurde am 21. April 753 v. Chr. von Romulus u. Remus umgrenzt. Remus wird wegen Übertretung der Grenzen von seinem Bruder ermordet. Es vollzieht sich eine Zusammenführung der Latiner des Palatins mit den Sabinern des Kapitols, Quirinal u. Esquilin. Romulus u. Remus sind die Söhne des Gottes Mars u. Rhea Silvia, der Tochter von König Numitor v. Alba Longa. Rom - ein Stadtstaat des 9./8. Jahrhunderts mit sagenhaft überlieferten Königen. Die Siedlung wird um 650 v. Chr. auf dem Palatin mit Ausrichtung auf die höhere Kultur der Etrusker gegründet. Die Sprache bleibt latinisch, den seit Vorzeiten ansässigen Italikern verwandt. Der capitolinische Hügel wird in Rom zum Führungsmittelpunkt u. bis zur Vertreibung von König Tarquinius ein Königtum u. seit 510 v. Chr. Republik. Nach der Plünderung Roms 387 v. Chr. durch die Gallier, wurde Rom mit der Servianischen Mauer umgeben. Ausdehnung der Macht über Mittel- u. Süditalien bis 270 v. Chr. Die Festigung der Macht wurde erreicht mit den siegreichen Schlachten in den drei Punischen Kriegen (264-241, 218-201 u. 149-146 v. Chr.). Die Stadt Rom erweiterte ihren Machtbereich u. das Territorium ständig bis ins erste Jahrhundert u. erlangte einen beherrschenden Einfluss über die Länder am Mittelmeer. Im Innern der Republik führte diese Entwicklung zu Machtkämpfen bis hin zur Ermordung Caesars 44 v. Chr. durch Brutus. Caesar u. Augustus schufen die Grundlagen zur Weltmacht. Mit der Abwanderung der Langobarden aus Oberpannonien (Westungarn) nach Italien im Jahr 568 hat die sogenannte Völkerwanderung ihren Abschluss gefunden.

  • A New Perspective on the Early Roman Dictatorship, 501-300 B.C
    A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE EARLY ROMAN DICTATORSHIP, 501-300 B.C. BY Jeffrey A. Easton Submitted to the graduate degree program in Classics and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts. Anthony Corbeill Chairperson Committee Members Tara Welch Carolyn Nelson Date defended: April 26, 2010 The Thesis Committee for Jeffrey A. Easton certifies that this is the approved Version of the following thesis: A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE EARLY ROMAN DICTATORSHIP, 501-300 B.C. Committee: Anthony Corbeill Chairperson Tara Welch Carolyn Nelson Date approved: April 27, 2010 ii Page left intentionally blank. iii ABSTRACT According to sources writing during the late Republic, Roman dictators exercised supreme authority over all other magistrates in the Roman polity for the duration of their term. Modern scholars have followed this traditional paradigm. A close reading of narratives describing early dictatorships and an analysis of ancient epigraphic evidence, however, reveal inconsistencies in the traditional model. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a new model of the early Roman dictatorship that is based upon a reexamination of the evidence for the nature of dictatorial imperium and the relationship between consuls and dictators in the period 501-300 BC. Originally, dictators functioned as ad hoc magistrates, were equipped with standard consular imperium, and, above all, were intended to supplement consuls. Furthermore, I demonstrate that Sulla’s dictatorship, a new and genuinely absolute form of the office introduced in the 80s BC, inspired subsequent late Republican perceptions of an autocratic dictatorship.

  • Régulus TRAGÉDIE 1688
    Jacques PRADON Régulus TRAGÉDIE 1688 Édition critique établie par Andrea Siani Mémoire de master 1 réalisé sous la direction de M. le Professeur Georges FORESTIER Université Paris IV Sorbonne 2012-2013 Commentaire critique Introduction Par quelques ouvrages connus, Si j’ai su plaire à Melpomène, Je prétends que mon Régulus, M’immortalise sur la scène1. Le souhait prêté à Pradon dans cet extrait n’a pas été exaucé. Le Régulus de Pradon n’est aujourd’hui ni lu, ni cité, sauf dans quelque histoire du théâtre classique. Presque un siècle est passé depuis la publication de la thèse de Bussom2 dédiée à Pradon. Entretemps un regain d’intérêt pour les auteurs dits mineurs du XVIIe siècle a conduit à reformuler parfois les jugements hâtifs portés sur ces écrivains par la critique des siècles passés. Toutefois, Pradon est resté à l’écarte de ce procès. Le discrédit qui pèse sur lui n’a pas été allégé d’un brin. Ce poète, venu à Paris de Rouen comme Corneille (mais quelle différence dans leurs sorts !), est encor puni, à distance de plus de trois siècles, pour l’impardonnable acte d’hybris qu’il commit en défiant Racine avec sa Phèdre. C’est bien par cette Phèdre que Pradon a été immortalisé, car la satire méprisante de Boileau a fermé la porte à toute redécouverte de son œuvre. Si un lecteur curieux avait le courage de braver ce Cerbère du Parnasse, il ne serait peut-être pas (trop) déçu. Son regard se poserait sur un médiocre poète, sur des thèmes et des mots usés et fades, car privés de l’éclat que surent leur donner les maîtres du genre, les Corneille et les Racine, sur des chevilles soutenant d’autres chevilles, sur des caractères plats.

Mellor, Chair This dissertation investigates the cultural imagination of Roman elites regarding poverty in their society – how it was defined, how traditional and accepted images of poverty were deployed for rhetorical effect, and in what way elite attitudes toward poverty evolved over the course of the first century and a half under the Empire. It contends that the Roman conception of poverty was as a disordered discourse involving multiple competing definitions which frequently overlapped in practice. It argues that the inherent contradictions in Roman thought about poverty were rarely addressed or acknowledged by authors during this period. The Introduction summarizes scholarly approaches toward Roman perceptions of poverty and offers a set of definitions which describe the variant images of poverty in elite texts. The first chapter addresses poverty’s role in the histories of Livy, and the ways in which his presentation of poverty diverge from his assertion that the loss of paupertas was key to the decline of the Roman state.

  • Lays of Ancient Rome
    Lays of Acient Rome Lays of Ancient Rome By Thomas Babbington Macaulay 1 Lays of Acient Rome Preface Horatius The Lay The Battle of the Lake Regillus The Lay Virginia The Lay The Prophecy of Capys The Lay That what i called the hitory of the Kings and early Consuls of Rome is to a great extent fabulus, few scholars have, since the ti of Beaufort, ventured to deny. It is certain that, more than three hundred and sixty years after the date ordinarily assigned for the foundatio of the city, the public records were, with scarcely an exception, destroyed by the Gauls. It is certain that the oldest annals of the coonwealth were compiled mre than a century and a half after th destruction of the records. It is certain, therefore, that the great Latin writers of the Augustan age did not possss those materials, without which a trustworthy account of the infancy of the republic could not possibly be framed. Those writers own, indeed, that the chronicles to which they had access were filled with battles that were never fought, and Consuls that were never inaugurated; and we have abundant proof that, in these chronicles, events of the greatest importance, suc as the issue of the war with Porsa and the issue of the war with Brennus, were grossly misrepresented. Under thes circumstances a wise man will look with great suspicio on the lged whi has com do to us. He will perhaps be inclined to regard th princes who are said to have founded the civil and religious institutions of Rom, the sons of Mars, and the husband of Egeria, as mere mythgial persage, of the same class with Persus and Ixion.

Oppressor (05065) (nagas) is a verb which means to force someone to do something, as in this context where it refers to forcing someone to pay money (cf 2Ki 23:35). Walvoord explains the reason for the taxation "Because of the rising power of Rome, he (Seleucus IV Philopator) was forced to pay tribute to the Romans of a thousand talents annually. In order to raise this large amount of money, Seleucus had to tax all the lands under his domain, including special taxes from the Jews secured by a tax collector named Heliodorus (2Macc 3:7) who took treasures from the temple at Jerusalem (Ed: But read the record from Second Maccabees). Second Maccabees records a quite incredible story regarding Heliodorus attempts to take funds from the Jewish Temple… While they (Jews distraught that Heliodorus was attempting to take funds from God's House) were imploring the almighty Lord to keep the deposits safe and secure for those who had placed them in trust, Heliodorus went on with his plan.

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum: a Sourcebook Allows Readers to Form a Richer and More Diverse Picture of Urban Life on the Bay of Naples
    POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. Incorporating the latest research and finds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites. Alison E. Cooley is Reader in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. Her recent publications include Pompeii. An Archaeological Site History (2003), a translation, edition and commentary of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (2009), and The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (2012). M.G.L. Cooley teaches Classics and is Head of Scholars at Warwick School. He is Chairman and General Editor of the LACTOR sourcebooks, and has edited three volumes in the series: The Age of Augustus (2003), Cicero’s Consulship Campaign (2009) and Tiberius to Nero (2011).

Vatai, Ph.D, Chair Date California State University, Northridge ii DEDICATION For my mother and father, who brought me to this country at the age of three and have provided me with love and guidance ever since. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the sacrifices that you have made to help me fulfill my dreams. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank Dr. Frank L. Vatai. He helped me re-discover my love for Ancient Greek and Roman history, both through the various courses I took with him, and the wonderful opportunity he gave me to T.A. his course on Ancient Greece. The idea to write this thesis paper, after all, was first sparked when I took Dr. Vatai’s course on the Late Roman Republic, since it made me want to go back and re-read Livy. I also want to thank Dr. Patricia Juarez-Dappe, who gave me the opportunity to read the abstract of one of my papers in the Southwestern Social Science Association conference in the spring of 2012, and later invited me to T.A. one of her courses.
