Book Synopsis Emperors of Rome: The Monsters by : Paul Chrystal
Download or read book Emperors of Rome: The Monsters written by Paul Chrystal and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with everything else, there were good and bad Roman emperors. The good, like Trajan (98117), Hadrian (117138), Antoninus Pius (138161) and Marcus Aurelius (161180) were largely civilized and civilizing. The bad, on the other hand, were sometimes nothing less than monsters, exhibiting varying degrees of corruption, cruelty, depravity and insanity. It is a sobering thought that these ogres were responsible for governing the greatest civilization in the world, simultaneously terrorizing, brutalizing and massacring. Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Commodus, Caracella, Elagabalus, Septimius Severus, Diocletian, Maximinus Thrax, Justinian and Theodora all had more bad days than good; they are all covered in this book.Their exploits have, of course, been well documented since classical times but much of the coverage can only be called gratuitous, sensationalist or tabloid. This book is different because it is based on primary sources and evidence and attempts to balance out the shocking with any mitigating aspects in each of their lives. Many of our monsters have some redeeming factors and it is important that these are exposed if a true record of their lives is to be conveyed. The book also examines how each of the twelve has been treated for posterity in literature, theatre and film, and the lessons intended to be drawn from popular culture through the ages.

The beauty and solitude of Crispin's work cannot protect him from the dangerous intrigues of court and city, swirling with rumors of war and conspiracy, while otherworldly fires mysteriously flicker and disappear in the streets at night. The emperor is plotting a conquest of Crispin’s homeland to regain an empire. And with his fate entwined with that of his royal benefactor, Crispin’s loyalties come with a very high price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html A five-volume composition by A. M. Velichko "History of the Byzantine Emperors" reveals the events of the reign of all monarchical dynasties of the Holy Roman (Byzantine) Empire – from St. Constantine the Great before the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This is the first comprehensive study in which historical events from the political life of the Byzantine state are depicted in their organic relationship with the life of the ancient Church and the personality of specific kings. The work describes in detail and in detail the most interesting vicissitudes of the history of the Byzantine state, including in terms of interchurch relations between Rome and Constantinople. Numerous events of the times of the Ecumenical Councils are cited, the role and forms of participation of emperors in the activities of the Catholic Church are revealed. The work is supplied with portraits of all the emperors of the Byzantine Empire, maps and extensive reference material. /// For all those interested in the history of Byzantium, the Church, law and politics, as well as students of law and history faculties. /// This volume covers the era from Constantine the Great to Anastasius I. /// ... /// By the example of Byzantium, as reincarnated in Christ and through Christ of the pagan Roman Empire, the Lord revealed such an ideal that would be able to overshadow the pagan Roman analogue, striking in its appearance the minds of his contemporaries. Christ gave not only the ideal of personal faith on the example of the exploits of the first martyrs, ascetics, and saints. He bestowed (by man himself such an ideal, naturally, could neither be conceived nor created) to us a political (sometimes they say – social) ideal, as a special political and legal type of state system, in which the goals and objectives of the earthly Church organically become the alpha and omega public policy ... In other words, the Savior indicated under what state structure the most favorable conditions for the “capture of men” and the regeneration of the old man into the son of God are formed for the Church. /// The practical embodiment of the Kingdom of God on earth in the person of the Empire is the quintessence of Byzantinism, the meaning of life and existence of Byzantium as the first Orthodox state. Hence, as a result, all other legal and social structures are generated that create a stable political, legal and cultural image of an ideal state. /// The main idea of the political and legal system of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire was the imposition of the law of the Church on the state, the well-known identification of the tasks of the Church and the state, and the churching of man. "The Church in Byzantium just aspired to express itself in the state, to make its law the law of the state. " For Byzantium, “the existence in a state with civil and political rights of such persons to whom the law of the Church did not apply, and for whom non-observance of church law was not combined with civil and political lawlessness” was a complete absurdity, an unthinkable situation.

Book Synopsis Revolution and Its Past by : R. Keith Schoppa
Download or read book Revolution and Its Past written by R. Keith Schoppa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolution and Its Past is a comprehensive study of China from the last quarter of the eighteenth century through to 2018. A fascinating and dramatic narrative, the book compels interest both as a history of an ancient civilization developing into a modern nation-state and as an account of how the Chinese as a people have struggled and continue to work to find their identity in the modern world. Beginning in the last two decades of the reign of the Qianlong emperor (1736–1795), the book provides a baseline that allows readers to understand China’s rapid decline in the nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, and extends into the present day, a time when China has the second largest economy in the world and aims to become a leading global power by 2050. The vast changes that have swept over China between these times are probed through the lens of the broad and important theme of "identities." This fourth edition has been updated throughout, providing a more thorough examination of recent history since 1960, and increasing coverage of such topics as "new Qing history," frontier and ethnicity, women and their roles, environmental concerns and issues, and globalization. Supported by maps, images, tables, online eResources and suggestions for further reading, and written in an engaging, concise, and authoritative style, Revolution and Its Past is the ideal textbook for all students of the history of modern China.

Book Synopsis Conquerors and Slaves by : Keith Hopkins
Download or read book Conquerors and Slaves written by Keith Hopkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-01-31 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous size of the Roman empire and the length of time it endured call for an understanding of the institutions which sustained it. In this book, Keith Hopkins, who is both classicist and sociologist, uses various sociological concepts and methods to gain new insights into how traditional Roman institutions changed as the Romans acquired their empire. He examines the chain reactions resulting from increased wealth; various aspects of slavery, especially manumission and the cost of freedom; the curious phenomenon of the political power wielded by eunuchs at court; and in the final chapter he discusses the Roman emperor's divinity and the circulation of untrue stories, which were a currency of the political system. Professor Hopkins has developed an exciting approach to social questions in antiquity and his book should be of interest to all students of ancient history and of historical sociology.
Download or read book Dialogues and Essays written by Seneca and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-10-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'No man is crushed by misfortune unless he has first been deceived by prosperity.' In these dialogues and essays the Stoic philosopher Seneca outlines his thoughts on how to live in a troubled world. Tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote exercises in practical philosophy that draw upon contemporary Roman life and illuminate the intellectual concerns of the day. They also have much to say to the modern reader, as Seneca ranges widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquillity of mind, anger, mercy, happiness, and grief at the loss of a loved one. Seneca's accessible, aphoristic style makes his writing especially attractive as an introduction to Stoic philosophy, and belies its reputation for austerity and dogmatism. This edition combines a clear and modern translation with an introduction to Seneca's life and philosophical interests, and helpful notes. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "The Twelve Caesars" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The Twelve Caesars is a set of twelve biographies of Julius Caesar and the first 11 emperors of the Roman Empire written by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus. The book provides valuable information on the heritage, personal habits, physical appearance, lives, and political careers of the first Roman emperors as it mentions details which other sources do not. As with many of his contemporaries, Suetonius took omens seriously and carefully includes reports of omens portending Imperial births, accessions, and deaths. The Twelve Caesars was considered very significant in antiquity and remains a primary source on Roman history. The book discusses the significant and critical period of the Principate from the end of the Republic to the reign of Domitian.
