Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Nero Nero! The name is a shudder. In him Nature seems to have done her worst, and conspired with Fate to place her product on an eminence so exalted that all men might see how great a monster she was capable of engendering. Born of a mother, of whom only such a son was worthy, he ran the gamut of every human crime and folly, making the Roman Empire minister to his atrocities, and, cheating venge ance at the end, died lamenting that so splendid a genius should have to pass away.

This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Principate of the Emperor Nero The Appendices and the Notes contain complete (i believe) references to all the ancient evidence which concerns this history, and, on occasion, discussion of its value or of controversies which arise concerning it. To these Notes and Appendices I must still venture to refer the student even at this time when the examination craze threatens increasingly to degrade, if not to destroy, patient learning in the Uni versity. But the general reader's attention is not distracted from the narrative, as the whole apparatus of Inquiry is thus relegated to the end of the book.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Study of the Sources of the History of the Emperor Nero A study of the sources of the history of Nero must therefore in the main be limited to the works of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Dio Cassius. While it is not altogether futile to attempt to determine what sources these writers again used when composing their works, and to investigate to what extent thev used them,5 it is vastly more profitable to the student of history to carefully compare the records of these writers with each other and with the few other sources that have come down to us. With due consideration of the author's character and life, his method, and the connection in which his statements appear, such a comparison will afford a fairly safe basis for correct judg ments on the conditions and events which they record.

Download or read book History of Nero written by Jacob Abbott and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln raved that this series of historical biographies gave him "just that knowledge of past men and events which I need. I have read them with the greatest interest. To them I am indebted for about all the historical knowledge I have." Considered what we would now call "young adult" literature, this collection, first published between 1848 and 1871, was designed to present a clear, distinct, connected narrative of the lives of the great figures of world history, those people who have been most influential, at least as American author and educator JACOB ABBOTT (1803-1879) saw it from his 19th-century perspective. Wildly popular and republished many times under different collected names, this replica set mimics the 1904 reprint known as the "Makers of History" series. It will delight students of history as well as show the scholar how history telling has changed over the last few centuries. More than 30 other volumes in the series are also available from Cosimo Classics. This volume, dating from 1853, covers Roman emperor Nero (37-68), from the assassination of Caligula, which led to his ascension to the throne, to the depravity and conspiracy that characterized his reign, and much more.

Download or read book Rome Is Burning written by Anthony A. Barrett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nero became Emperor in A.D 54. On the evening of July 18, 64 A. D., it seems that a lamp was left unextinguished in a stall still heaped with piles of combustible material. Whether this was accidental or deliberate we cannot now determine, and normally it would not have led to anything that would have attracted even local attention. But there was a gusty wind that night, and the flickering flame was fanned onto the flammable wares. The ensuing fire quickly spread. Before the onlookers could absorb what was happening one of the most catastrophic disasters ever to be endured by Rome was already underway. It was a disaster that brought death and misery to thousands. In Nero and the Great Fire of Rome, Anthony Barrett draws on new textual interpretations and the latest archaeological evidence, to tell the story of this pivotal moment in Rome's history and its lasting significance. Barrett argues that the Great Fire, which destroyed much of the city, changed the course of Roman History. The fire led to the collapse of Nero's regime, and his disorderly exit brought an end to Rome's first imperial dynasty, transforming from thereto, the way that emperors were selected. It also led to the first systematic persecution of the Christians, who were blamed for the blaze. Barrett provides the first comprehensive study of this dramatic event, which remains a fascination of the public imagination, and continues to be a persistent theme in the art and literature of popular culture today"--

Download or read book The Annals written by Cornelius Tacitus and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'He was atrocious in his brutality, but his lechery was kept hidden... In the end, he erupted into an orgy of crime and ignominy alike' Such is Tacitus' obituary of Tiberius, and he is no less caustic in his opinion of the weak and cuckolded Claudius and the 'artist' Nero. The Annals is a gripping account of the Roman emperors who followed Augustus, the founder of the imperial system, and of the murders, sycophancy, plotting, and oppression that marked this period in Rome. Tacitus provides the earliest and most detailed account of Boudicca's rebellion in Britain, and his history also relates the great fire of Rome in the reign of Nero, and the persecution of the Christians that followed. He deplores the depravity of the emperors, whose behaviour he sees as proof of the corrupting force of absolute power. J. C. Yardley's translation is vivid and accurate, and Anthony A. Barrett's introduction and notes provide invaluable historical and cultural context. 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.

Download or read book Darkness and Dawn Or Scenes in the Days of Nero an Historic Tale (Classic Reprint) written by Frederic William Farrar and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Darkness and Dawn or Scenes in the Days of Nero an Historic Tale Expressions and incidents which, to some, might seem to be startlingly modern, are in reality suggested by passages in the satirists, epigrammatists, and romancers of the Empire, or by anecdotes preserved in the grave pages of Seneca and the elder Pliny. I have, of course, so far assumed the liberty accorded to writers of historic fiction as occasionally to deviate, to a small extent, from exact chronology, but such deviations are very trivial in comparison with those which have been permitted to others, and especially to the great masters of historic fiction. All who know most thoroughly the real features of that Pagan darkness which was deepest before the Christian dawn will see that scarcely even by the most distant allusion have I referred to some of the worst features in the life of that day. While I have not extenuated the realities of cruelty and bloodshed, I have repeatedly softened down their more terrible incidents and details. To have altered that aspect of monotonous misery which pained and wearied its ancient annalist would have been to falsify the real characteristics of the age with which I had to deal. The book is not a novel, nor is it to be judged as a novel. The outline has been imperatively decided for me by the exigencies of fact, not by the rules of art. I have been compelled to deal with an epoch which I should never have touched if I had not seen, in the features which it presented, one main explanation of an historical event the most sacred and the most interesting on which the mind can dwell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman emperor Nero is remembered as the vain and immoral monster who fiddled while Rome burned. He murdered his younger brother and rival to the throne. He then murdered his mother, with whom he may have slept. He killed his pregnant wife in a fit of rage, then castrated and married a young freedman because he resembled her. Without seeking to rehabilitate Nero, Champlin reinterprets his enormities on their own terms, as the self-conscious performances of an imperial actor with a formidable grasp of Roman history and mythology.
