Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War : Literally Translated, With HBlDy- IlIERALTpRANSIiATIOH^ Mjsw/osKQty^§Q^\r /^ — Completely Scanned and Parsed Aeneid^ 2, ready August, 1 900. Completely Parsed Caesar Caesar's Gallic War, Book I. By REV. JAMES B. FINCH. M. A., D. D. From the Preface— I have designed this book as an aid to three classes of learners, and it is my confident belief that they will find it in practice to be of really invaluable service— first, teachers^ both those rusty in Latin who nevertheless find them- selves called upon to teach Caesar without much time for prepara- " " tion ; and also those who are up in Caesar but still may bene- fit greatly, at the first, by having at their elbow a model for teaching and drilling which, like this, sets forth to the most min- ute detail each step in the parsing and the translation of every word in the text then clergymen whose opportttnities may not have permitted the acquisition of the Latin, but who yet desire to possess themselves rapidly of so much of this lang- uage as a minister really needs for etymological and philo- logical and literary purposes, as well as for the simple satisfaction of emerging from a state of ignorance regarding a language so familiar to the educated—then students, both those who are not so situated as to have an instructor, but are still ambitious enough to study Latin without a teacher, and also students who, though members of a class, yet need the help of a complete model for translation and analysis, to be used, of course, under wise guidance. Again it is not wholly unlikely that the experienced teacher of Latin will prize this book— not because of any need for assistance, but because of the advantage of com- paring one's own ways and opinions with the methods and views of another competent teacher. With this book anyone can learn not only about the Latin, but can learn the language itself. The Latin text in the original order of the words just as Caesar wrote them, with the exact literal English equivalent of each Latin word directly under it {interlined); and with a second, elegant trans- lation zw the margin, employing the natural English order of the words; aftd with Footnotes in which every word of the Latin text is completely parsed 2.n6. the constructions explained, with References to the gram- mars of Allen & Greenough, Bingham, Gildersleeve, and Harkness Each page complete in itself— the Latin text {long voiv els marked), the interlined literal translation, the marginal flowmg translation, the parsing and the analysis— all at a glance without turning a leaf!

All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Mame and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of ail these, the Belgae are the bravest, be- cause they are farthest from the ci\iHzation and refinement cfJ^QurJ Province, and merchants least frequently resort to 2 Cesar's comsientaeies. {"book i them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind ; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually wagmg war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valour, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from theii own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these,* which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone : it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae : it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the river Rhine , and stretches towards the north.f The Belgce rise from the extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part of the river Rhine ; and look towards the north and the lising sun.

  • 1 Gallo-Roman Relations Under the Early Empire by Ryan Walsh A
    Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire By Ryan Walsh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Ryan Walsh 2013 1 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the conflicted opinions of the Gauls in Caesar's time and how they eventually banded together against him but were defeated. Next, the activities of each Julio-Claudian emperor are examined to see how they impacted Gaul and what the Gallo-Roman response was. Throughout this period there is clear evidence of increased Romanisation amongst the Gauls and the prominence of the region is obvious in imperial policy. This changes with Nero's reign where Vindex's rebellion against the emperor highlights the prejudices still effecting Roman attitudes. This only becomes worse in the rebellion of Civilis the next year. After these revolts, the Gallo-Romans appear to retreat from imperial offices and stick to local affairs, likely as a direct response to Rome's rejection of them.

  • Map 15 Arelate-Massalia Compiled by S
    Map 15 Arelate-Massalia Compiled by S. Loseby, 1995 Introduction Map 15 Arelate–Massalia Map 16 Colonia Forum Iulii–Albingaunum All the French départements covered here were treated in the CAGR series, beginning with its first volume, Alpes-Maritimes, in 1931. Its successor CAG is far more comprehensive, although unfortunately both maps were compiled before publication of the relevant volumes. Some references to them are incorporated in the Directories, however. Provence and Languedoc have in recent years been among the most dynamic regions of France in archaeological terms. As well as the periodic entries in Gallia Informations, the archaeology of the region sustains a series of journals, notably the Revue Archéologique de Narbonnaise, Documents d’Archéologie Méridionale, Bulletin d’Archéologie de Provence, Archéologie en Languedoc,andRevue des Etudes Ligures/Rivista di Studi Liguri.A comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the ancient history and archaeology of the region is lacking (Rivet 1988 is the best single work available); Bromwich (1993) at least provides a basic guide to the principal Greek and Roman remains. Of the numerous sites known exclusively from archaeology, only those significant enough to have attracted at least an article-length study are marked. The whole span from early Greek engagement with the region (c. 600 B.C.) is covered, up until c. A.D. 500; locations mentioned only in works associated with Caesarius of Arles are therefore excluded. From Cap Couronne eastwards (see La Couronne, Map 15 E3), the Provençal coastline appears to be little altered since antiquity, while on the western side of Map 15 the evolution of the shores of Languedoc has largely been gradual and minor–involving the shifting and consolidation of the sandbars which now separate the coastal étangs (lagoons) from the sea, but which seem to have been less developed in antiquity.

  • Valerius Maximus on Vice: a Commentary of Facta Et Dicta
    Valerius Maximus on Vice: A Commentary on Facta et Dicta Memorabilia 9.1-11 Jeffrey Murray University of Cape Town Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Studies) in the School of Languages and Literatures University of Cape Town June 2016 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Abstract The Facta et Dicta Memorabilia of Valerius Maximus, written during the formative stages of the Roman imperial system, survives as a near unique instance of an entire work composed in the genre of Latin exemplary literature. By providing the first detailed historical and historiographical commentary on Book 9 of this prose text – a section of the work dealing principally with vice and immorality – this thesis examines how an author employs material predominantly from the earlier, Republican, period in order to validate the value system which the Romans believed was the basis of their world domination and to justify the reign of the Julio-Claudian family. By detailed analysis of the sources of Valerius’ material, of the way he transforms it within his chosen genre, and of how he frames his exempla, this thesis illuminates the contribution of an often overlooked author to the historiography of the Roman Empire.

  • Keltoi and Hellenes: a Study of the Celts in the Hellenistic World
    KELTOI AND THE HELLENES A STUDY OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WoRU) PATRICK EGAN In the third century B.C. a large body ofCeltic tribes thrust themselves violently into the turbulent world of the Diadochoi,’ immediately instilling fear, engendering anger and finally, commanding respect from the peoples with whom they came into contact. Their warlike nature, extreme hubris and vigorous energy resembled Greece’s own Homeric past, but represented a culture, language and way of life totally alien to that of the Greeks and Macedonians in this period. In the years that followed, the Celts would go on to ravage Macedonia, sack Delphi, settle their own “kingdom” and ifil the ranks of the Successors’ armies. They would leave indelible marks on the Hellenistic World, first as plundering barbaroi and finally, as adapted, integral elements and members ofthe greatermulti-ethnic society that was taking shape around them. This paper will explore the roles played by the Celts by examining their infamous incursions into Macedonia and Greece, their phase of settlement and occupation ofwhat was to be called Galatia, their role as mercenaries, and finally their transition and adaptation, most noticeably on the individual level, to the demands of the world around them. This paper will also seek to challenge some of the traditionally hostile views held by Greek historians regarding the role, achievements, and the place the Celts occupied as members, not simply predators, of the Hellenistic World.2 19 THE DAWN OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WORLD The Celts were not unknown to all Greeks in the years preceding the Deiphic incursion of February, 279.

  • DBG Book 1 Outline
    Caesar’s De Bello Gallico BOOK I OUTLINE Chapter I 1-4 Gaul has three parts, inhabited by three tribes (Belgae, Aquitaini, and Celtae/Galli) who are different in language, institutions, and laws. 4-5. The rivers that separate the three areas. 6-11. Three reasons why the Belgae are the bravest. 11-15. The final reason explains why the Helvetians surpass the other Gauls in courage, because they fight regularly with the Germans, either in Germania or in their own land. 15-18. The boundaries of the land the Gauls occupy. 18-21. The boundaries of the land the Belgae occupy. 21-24. The boundaries of the land the Aquitani occupy. Chapter II 1-6. The richest and noblest Helvetian made a conspiracy among the nobility because of a desire for power and persuaded his people to leave their land with the argument that because of their surpassing courage they would easily get control of all Gaul. 6-12. He easily swayed them because the Helvetians were hemmed in on all sides by natural barriers. 12-15. As a result they had less freedom of movement and were less able to wage war against their neighbors, and thus their warriors were afflicted with great sorrow. 15-18. They considered their land, 240 miles by 180 miles, too small in comparison with their numbers and their glory in war. Chapter III 1-6 Persuaded by their situation and the authority of Orgetorix, the Helvetians decide to get ready for departure: they buy all the wagons and pack animals they can; plant as many crops as possible for supplies on the trip, and make alliances with the nearest states.

  • Oratio Recta and Oratio Obliqua in Caesar's De Bello
    VOICES OF THE ENEMY: ORATIO RECTA AND ORATIO OBLIQUA IN CAESAR’S DE BELLO GALLICO by RANDY FIELDS (Under the Direction of James C. Anderson, jr.) ABSTRACT According to his contemporaries and critics, Julius Caesar was an eminent orator. Despite the lack of any extant orations written by Caesar, however, one may gain insight into Caesar’s rhetorical ability in his highly literary commentaries, especially the De Bello Gallico. Throughout this work, Caesar employs oratio obliqua (and less frequently oratio recta) to animate his characters and give them “voices.” Moreover, the individuals to whom he most frequently assigns such vivid speeches are his opponents. By endowing his adversaries in his Commentarii with the power of speech (with exquisite rhetorical form, no less), Caesar develops consistent characterizations throughout the work. Consequently, the portrait of self-assured, unification-minded Gauls emerges. Serving as foils to Caesar’s own character, these Gauls sharpen the contrast between themselves and Caesar and therefore serve to elevate Caesar’s status in the minds of his reader.
