Book Synopsis Kingdom, Civitas, and County by : Stephen Rippon
Download or read book Kingdom, Civitas, and County written by Stephen Rippon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the development of territorial identity in the late prehistoric, Roman, and early medieval periods. Over the course of the Iron Age, a series of marked regional variations in material culture and landscape character emerged across eastern England that reflect the development of discrete zones of social and economic interaction. The boundaries between these zones appear to have run through sparsely settled areas of the landscape on high ground, and corresponded to a series of kingdoms that emerged during the Late Iron Age. In eastern England at least, these pre-Roman socio-economic territories appear to have survived throughout the Roman period despite a trend towards cultural homogenization brought about by Romanization. Although there is no direct evidence for the relationship between these socio-economic zones and the Roman administrative territories known as civitates, they probably corresponded very closely. The fifth century saw some Anglo-Saxon immigration but whereas in East Anglia these communities spread out across much of the landscape, in the Northern Thames Basin they appear to have been restricted to certain coastal and estuarine districts. The remaining areas continued to be occupied by a substantial native British population, including much of the East Saxon kingdom (very little of which appears to have been 'Saxon'). By the sixth century a series of regionally distinct identities - that can be regarded as separate ethnic groups - had developed which corresponded very closely to those that had emerged during the late prehistoric and Roman periods. These ancient regional identities survived through to the Viking incursions, whereafter they were swept away following the English re-conquest and replaced with the counties with which we are familiar today.
Book Synopsis They Shimmer Within: Cognitive-Evolutionary Perspectives on Visionary Beings by : Bruce Rimell
Download or read book They Shimmer Within: Cognitive-Evolutionary Perspectives on Visionary Beings written by Bruce Rimell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of psychedelic drugs plants is rising, and with it the number of reports narrating encounters with otherworldly visionary beings. Approaches to these experiences have often been literal, archetypal or dismissive. Evolutionary psychology and the cognitive science of religion suggest innate and non-imagistic mental foundations for these phenomena arising from easily-triggered evolutionary functions during emotive periods of high cognitive demand. Such functions include agent detection, social intelligence faculties and metacognition. This wide-ranging book explores how our deepest mental processes predispose us as humans to believe in supernatural agents, and presents a new hypothesis of how these same cognitions facilitate the emergence of those agents to become present when psychedelic drugs and plants are ingested. Bruce concludes that visionary beings shimmer within as awe-inspiring products of the mind, an experience which rests at the heart of what it is to be human.

Book Synopsis Boudica's Last Stand by : John Waite

Book excerpt: It is Britain, AD 60. Three Roman towns are in ashes and thousands lie dead. With her new allies, the Trinovantes and the Catuvellauni, Boudica and the Iceni march defiantly towards their enemy. They seek one last pivotal victory to drive the Romans from their land forever. Not far away the Roman governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus awaits them. His ground chosen, his strategy decided, his small force awaits the great native army. If his strategy is sound they will prevail, if not they will be massacred, losing the province forever. Is it really revenge Boudica wants for the vile humiliations the Romans heaped on her? Or is she playing for much higher stakes? And Paulinus, can he defeat the odds to win the day? To answer these questions, this book will re examine events from a fresh, tactical perspective and produce a clearer picture of a revolt crushed on a newly suggested battle site, offering a new interpretation of a battle that decided 2000 years of Britain's cultural heritage.

Download or read book Elena written by R E Shrubb and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elena - the bar girl who became an empress and transformed an empire __________________________________________________ HIStory - or should it be HERstory? As is the case in some societies today, for the fi rst 300 years of the Roman Empire, women were the possessions of men. Many women resisted, some dying horribly rather than obeying orders to marry men chosen for them. HIStory barely mentions them. Another example of HIStory is the conversion of the Roman Empire from pagan to Christian by Constantine the Great. He issued the decrees. But: - his early coins have the Unvanquished Sun as their religious symbol, - his victory arch in Rome bears pagan symbols.. - he was ruthless in destroying opponents. - he had his fi rst born son executed, - he had his wife murdered in her bath. - he was not baptised until his death-bed. His mother Elena nurtured him through the turmoils and dangers of the time and became an important fi gure at court. She founded churches around the empire and gained a reputation as a holy person. She is regarded by the eastern church as equal to the apostles. The HERstory of Elena tells of her life from bar girl to empress through the perils of the late empire and its savage religious persecutions. It relates her role in the martyrdom of St George, the dramatic escape of Constantine from hostage of the pagan Galerius and her hand in guiding her son to his conquest of Rome.
Book Synopsis The Emperor's Babe by : Bernardine Evaristo
Download or read book The Emperor's Babe written by Bernardine Evaristo and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-02-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Lots of fun . . . like an episode of Sex and the City written by Ovid.”—Kirkus Reviews Bernardine Evaristo’s tale of forbidden love in bustling third-century London is an intoxicating cocktail of poetry, history, and fiction. Feisty, precocious Zuleika, a restless teenage bride of a rich Roman businessman, craves passion and excitement. She wanders through his villa, bored, or sneaks out to see her old friends, seeking an outlet for her creativity. Then she begins an affair with the emperor, Septimus Severus, remembered to history as the “African Emperor,” and she knows her life will never be the same. Streetwise, seductive, and lyrical, The Emperor’s Babe is a “glittering fiction” with a “heroine of ancient times for the modern age” (The Times). “The adventures of a sassy, sexy girl about town . . . Funny, engaging, and a daring evocation of the possible genesis of black British history.”—The Independent on Sunday “Smart, imaginative, and readable . . . A rich farrago of historical fact and outrageous fancy.”—The New York Times Book Review “Zuleika leads us on a riotous, racy whirl through Roman Londinium—while displaying her lyric gift throughout, and at last her heartbreak to the core, and her own embrace of doom. . . . a captivating tale in verse.”—Robert Fagles
