  • First Triumvirate and Rise of Octavian BY: Jake, Eliza and Maheen First Triumvirate
    First Triumvirate and Rise of Octavian BY: Jake, Eliza and Maheen First Triumvirate • An alliance of the three most powerful men in Rome, Marcus Licinus Crassus, Gaius Julius Caesar, and Gneaus Pompey Magnus. Rome was in chaos and the 3 seized control of the Republic. • The three would dominate Roman politics for personal gains throughout the territories of the Republic. Julius Caesar • In Rome, Julius Caesar was elected as the tribune of the Plebs, military tribune, and governor of many provinces throughout the Republic. • Believed Crassus helped Julius Caesar win the election to become the Propraetor or governor of Hispania in 63 B.C.E. • Julius returned to Rome after his term as governor. Caesar had a business or political agreement with Pompey and Crassus in 60 B.C.E. Caesar was the consul while Pompey and Crassus were in the senate. • Created the First Triumvirate • After his term, Julius was in deeply in debt politically and financially to Crassus and desperately needed to raise money. Marcus Crassus • Crassus was the richest man in all the Roman Republic. He was sharp and clever in Roman politics. He would be a senator and even become consul a few times. • He was a mentor to Julius Caesar in his early career. • Gained much fame during the Spartacus rebellion but much of it was stolen by Pompey. • He was a longtime rival to Pompey Magnus and this would be his eventually downfall. He would ally with Caesar and Pompey, but strived for military victory over Pompey. He went to Parthia where he was defeated at Carrhae.

  • Christopher M. MCDONOUGH the Banquet of Crassus: Politics, Myth, and Ritual
    Christopher M. MCDONOUGH The Banquet of Crassus: Politics, Myth, and Ritual During his first consulship in 70 B.C., Marcus Licinius Crassus hosted a large public banquet on behalf of Hercules at the Ara Maxima, during which "10,000 tables were set out and each man additionally presented with an allowance of grain enough to last for three months" (Plutarch, Crass. 12). The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to consider the political circumstances of which this extravaganza was a part, and secondly, to show how this political situation helps to throw unexpected light on the connections between the Ara Maxima's unique ritual and its foundation legend. In this banquet, we find a sophisticated treatment of the Altar's peculiar ceremonial practices which, while undertaken to score political points with the Roman crowd, nonetheless highlights the religious harmony of the Altar's myth and rite. It must be noted that in 70 Crassus shared the consulship with Pompey, against whom he was desperately competitive (cf. ! A. Ward, Marcus Crassus [1977] 99ff.). Although both generals were fresh from military successes— Pompey in Spain, Crassus over Spartacus,— Crassus would enjoy only an ovatio, an honor of decidedly lesser distinction than the triumph awarded to Pompey for his Spanish victories. Beryl Rawson (Antichthon 4 [1970] 30ff.) has noted that much of Pompey's propaganda in this year focused on Hercules of the Ara Maxima: to capitalize upon Hercules' Spanish association, Pompey dedicated a new temple of Hercules in this forum to sit alongside this altar. It is in light of this bold initiative by Pompey that we must see Crassus' elaborate banquet: such a large offering in the heart of the cattle market would, as Rawson aptly remarks, "give Crassus an excellent opportunity to steal Pompey's thunder." But, in addition, this distribution must be seen in light of the Ara Maxima's cult restrictions: Varro records th! at whatever was offered to Hercules at the Altar was required to be ea ten in its entirety before the sanctuary (LL 6.54).

  • A Fork in the Road: the Catilinarian Conspiracy's Impact
    A Fork in the Road: The Catilinarian Conspiracy‘s Impact on Cicero‘s relationships with Pompey, Crassus` and Caesar Jeffrey Larson History 499: Senior Thesis June 13, 2011 © Jeffrey Larson, 2011 1 But concerning friendship, all, to a man, think the same thing: those who have devoted themselves to public life; those who find their joy in science and philosophy; those who manage their own business free from public cares; and, finally, those who are wholly given up to sensual pleasures — all believe that without friendship life is no life at all. .1 The late Roman Republic was filled with crucial events which shaped not only the political environment of the Republic, but also altered the personal and political relationships of the individuals within that Republic. Four of the most powerful, and most discussed, characters of this time are Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC – 43 BC), Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (106 BC – 48 BC), Marcus Licinius Crassus (c. 115 BC – 53 BC), and Gaius Julius Caesar (c. 100 BC – 44 BC). These men often crossed paths and some even had close friendships with each other. Other than Pompeius, better known as Pompey, all the aforementioned individuals were involved, or reportedly involved, in one event which had profound effects on the personal and political relationships of all four individuals. This event is known as the Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63 BC. The Catilinarian Conspiracy was a pivotal episode in the politics of the Late Roman Republic that damaged both the political and personal relationships of Cicero, Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar. Politics in the Roman Republic was dominated by a small number of members of the senatorial class.

  • Giants of the Past: Compressive History in the Duel of Scipio and Crixus in Punica 4
    Giants of the Past: Compressive History in the Duel of Scipio and Crixus in Punica 4 The battle scenes of Silius Italicus’ Punica make up more than twenty percent of the Flavian poet’s epic, 2,461 (counting only the major scenes) of the poem’s roughly 12,000 lines. Yet, few works in the now flourishing field of Flavian scholarship approach these passages as worthy of extended study. This paper proposes that the battle scenes of the Punica are far more important than presently thought and offers a scene from the battle of Ticinus in book four as a test case for a new reading of the Silian battlefield. At the midpoint of the battle of Ticinus in Punica 4, the consul Scipio (father to the future Africanus) challenges the Gallic chieftain Crixus to a duel. In so doing, Silius activates a number of important resonances from Roman history and myth, creating a nexus of allusions that elevates this short duel into a highly symbolic reenactment of the Roman past and counterfactual representation of the near future. I argue that Silius conceptualizes these early defeats through allusions to mytho-historical moments of Roman victories. I approach this duel through the lens of three important moments: the sack of Rome after the battle of Allia in 390 BC, the Spartacus revolt in the late 70s BC, and the Titanomachy of myth. The sack of Rome by Brennus and the Gauls in 390 BC is directly referenced in the description of Crixus’ shield (Pun. 4.152-53: vertice sacro / pensantes aurum Celtas umbone gerebat).

ROMA SURRECTA: Portrait of a Counterinsurgent Power, 216 BC - AD 72 Abstract This study evaluates the military history and practice of the Roman Empire in the context of contemporary counterinsurgency theory. It purports that the majority of Rome’s security challenges fulfill the criteria of insurgency, and that Rome’s responses demonstrate counterinsurgency proficiency. These assertions are proven by means of an extensive investigation of the grand strategic, military, and cultural aspects of the Roman state. Fourteen instances of likely insurgency are identified and examined, permitting the application of broad theoretical precepts

  • By CHRISTER BRUUN King Decebalus of the Dacians Has His
    THE LEGEND OF DECEBALus· By CHRISTER BRUUN 1. Introduction King Decebalus of the Dacians has his given place in the series of great en­ emies of Rome, a series including names such as Hannibal, Viriathus, lugur­ tha, Mithridates, and Boudicca. Classicists working in many different fields are today very much aware of the king: epigraphers, art historians who ad­ mire Trajan's Column in Rome, students of Roman military history, scholars who write about the emperor Trajan, and - why not - those with an interest in anthropology who study the ancient practice of beheading enemies or col­ lecting their heads. 1 Decebalus is also of obvious interest to those who focus on the province of Dacia, and - true to the topic of this volume - the relations between the imperial centre and one of the last provinces to be acquired by Rome will be explored in this paper by means of an investi­ gation of what I call "the legend of Decebalus". In other words, this study concerns how the memory of King Decebalus lived on in a somewhat different form in Dacia than it did elsewhere. The interest of modem anthropologists in the fate of the Dacian king was of course spurred by the sensational presentation by Professor Michael P. Speidel of the "autobiography" of the "Captor ofDecebalus" in 1970. The funerary inscription commemorating the career of the Roman cavalry officer Ti. Claudius Maximus contains a dramatic description of how Decebalus ended his life: quod cepisset Decebalu(m) et caput eius pertulisset ei Ra- • For helpful comments in Leiden I wish to thank in particular J.

Sallust's Histories and Triumviral Historiography Abstract This dissertation explores echoes of the triumviral period in Sallust's Histories and demonstrates how, through analogical historiography, Sallust presents himself as a new type of historian whose "exempla" are flawed and morally ambiguous, and who rejects the notion of a triumphant, ascendant Rome perpetuated by the triumvirs. Just as Sallust's unusual prose style is calculated to shake his reader out of complacency and force critical engagement with the reading process, his analogical historiography requires the reader to work through multiple layers of interpretation to reach the core arguments. In the De Legibus, Cicero lamented the lack of great Roman historians, and frequently implied that he might take up the task himself. He had a clear sense of what history ought to be : encomiastic and exemplary, reflecting a conception of Roman history as a triumphant story populated by glorious protagonists. In Sallust's view, however, the novel political circumstances of the triumviral period called for a new type of historiography. To create a portrait of moral clarity is, Sallust suggests, ineffective, because Romans have been too corrupted by ambitio and avaritia to follow the good examples of the past.

  • Leadership Lessons from Spartacus
    LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM SPARTACUS Spartacus was a Thracian gladiator, who led a slave revolt and defeated the Roman forces several times as he marched his army up and down the Italian peninsula until he was killed in battle in April 71 BC. He is a figure from history who has inspired revolutionaries and filmmakers, although scholars do not have significant amounts of information about him. Only accounts from a few ancient writers have survived to this day, and none of these reports were written by Spartacus or his supporters. Background According to the main two sources at the time, Appian of Alexandria and Plutarch of Chaeronea, Spartacus was born around 111 BC. in Thrace, whose boundaries today would encapsulate parts of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. This was an area in Southeast Europe that the Roman’s were often trying to subjugate in the first century. Spartacus appears to have served in a Roman auxiliary unit for a time, and he either deserted or became an insurgent against the Romans. He was therefore captured and forced into enslavement. Due to his strength and stature, he was sold as a slave to Lentulus Batiatis, owner of the gladiatorial school, Ludus in Capua, 110 miles from Rome. Spartacus was considered a heavyweight gladiator called a “murmillo”. However, Spartacus was a rebel. In 73 BC, Spartacus was among a group of 78 gladiators who plotted an escape from Ludus. Spartacus and his co-leaders, Gaul’s Oenomaus and Crixus broke out of the barracks, seized kitchen utensils, and took several wagons of weapons and armour.

  • Spartacus: Thrid Servile War (Joint Crisis)
    CRISIS COMMITTEES | 2014e SPARTACUS: THRID SERVILE WAR (JOINT CRISIS) Dear delegates, To first clarify, I am not really the director who will be sitting in with you, instead I am the Crisis director, in charge of making sure both committees run well in parallel. I am delighted you have chosen to partake in our Classical adventure. And if you had no choice and your delegation forced this upon you, then I guarantee you could have found yourself in something much, much worse. This committee will be both engaging and subtly educational for a few reasons. A) Nothing beats the Classical period for drama, high stakes and general epicness (sic). B) This particular phase of Roman history may seem somewhat obscure, but in fact it sets the scene for the most dramatic changes in the history of the soon-to-be Empire (hint hint). C) If you haven’t been in a crisis committee before, get ready to leave the realm of mind-numbing GAs forever. If you have, then get excited to plot, devise and conquer to your heart’s content. Your staff are very experienced with crises, and this isn’t my first rodeo either. Or chariot race at the hippodrome I guess. Good luck, please in the name of Jupiter read the whole guide, and have fun! Liam Brister Crisis Manager - 3rd Servile War GENERAL ASSEMBLIES SPECIALIZED COMMITTEES CRISIS COMMITTEES Tips The key to success in crisis committees is improvisation. You simply won’t be able to come with a plan that covers more than the first hour at most.
