This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From the Literature, of Ancient Rome, in English Translations The purpose of this book is to bring the life and thought of the people of ancient Rome to the understanding of those who would otherwise never know them. Those whose school life has ended at the age of fourteen, and those whose longer education has not included the study of Greek and Latin, may find in these pages some part of what they have missed, and some encouragement, I hope, to read in complete translations the books from which quotations alone are given here. It may be that this book, and the companion volume of Greek literature which is intended to follow it, can bring even to classical students plodding an uninspired way to an examination something of the reality of life in the ancient world which grammar and unseens have successfully withheld. I have tried to make the book suitable alike for a graduate in science or mathematics or for a member of the English Workers' Educational Association or American Workers' Educational Bureau. It is also designed for use in schools of all kinds, particularly for boys and girls whose scheme of education or professional training allows no time for the study of classical authors in the language in which they wrote. Though the whole book is simply written, and there are parts of it which would be appreciated by children, it is not primarily intended for readers younger than fourteen.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Rome as Greeks and Romans Tell It: An Elementary Source-Book The object of this volume is to supply pupils in Roman history with interesting and instructive reading from the sources. This purpose has determined not only the selec tion of the material, but also the method of presentation. Although the book contains some descriptions of institu tions, it is largely narrative and biographical; preference has been given to those passages which illustrate life and character, ori which help the reader to an appreciation of general literature. To make the subject-matter intelligible as well as attractive to young readers, the quotations have been so connected and interwoven as to form a continuous story, and the difficulties have been explained in notes and references. These features will doubtless commend the book to many who, having passed the age of the pupil, are still interested in the literature and the life of ancient Rome. As a basis for the text, English translations, so far as they are available, have been used with the consent of the publishers. These translations, however, have been freely altered, with a view chiefly to the simplification of the style; at the same time care has been taken to reproduce faithfully the meaning of the authors represented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stratagems, and the Aqueducts of Rome: With an English Translation Herschel found in Professor Bennett an interested and helpful adviser. In the conclusion of his preface he says: Professor Charles E. Bennett gave me active aid, countenance and encouragement at every stage of the work, and ended off by reading the proofs and correcting the copy of the translation to an extent that makes the translation fairly his own. When, therefore, Professor Bennett was considering the preparation of this volume, Mr. Herschel gener ously turned over to him for revision his translation, which for twenty -five years has continued to be the only English version of the De Aguis. And within the past year this pioneer translator has given further proof of his continued interest in Frontinus and his spirit of co-operation with the students of the classics by patiently solving for the writer some of the technical difficulties encountered in proof reading. For this help grateful acknowledgment is here made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.

Download or read book Roman Religion written by Valerie M. Warrior and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion. The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised. It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications. Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity. Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world. Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Classics, Greek and Latin: The Most Celebrated Works of Hellenic and Roman Literature, Embracing Poetry, Romance, History, Oratory, Science, and Philosophy, Translated Into English Prose and Verse Made insane through a love-potion, and that in the intervals of his insanity he wrote some books that were amended by Cicero, and that he slew himself with his own hand in the 44th year of his life. Modern scholars accept the date of the poet's death, but attach little significance to the remainder of the account. The story of the love-potion points to mental disorder brought about by drugs, and Ln cretius' intermittent insanity and his suicide are not improb able. Very likely he was an epileptic. Whether Cicero edited the great poem of Lucretius, Concerning the Nature Of Things, is doubtful and of no importance, for there is no trace in it of any editing whatever; and whether Saint Jerome meant by Cicero the great orator or his younger brother is also uncertain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome Porsena, and the issue of the war with Brennus, were grossly misrepresented. Under these circumstances a wise man will look with great suspicion on the legend which has come down to us. He will perhaps be inclined to regard the princes who are said to have founded the civil and religious institutions of Rome, the son of Mars, and the husband of Egeria, as mere mythological personages, of the same class with Perseus and Ixion. As he draws nearer and nearer to the confines of authentic history, he will become less and less hard of belief. He will admit that the most important parts of the narrative have some foundation in truth. But he will distrust almost all the details, not only because they seldom rest on any solid evidence, but also because he will constantly detect in them, even when they are within the limits of physical possibility, that peculiar character, more easily understood than defined, which distinguishes the creations of the imagination from the realities of the world in which we live.

Download or read book The Early History of Rome written by Livy and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 1971 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With stylistic brilliance and historical imagination, the first five books of Livy's monumental history of Rome record events from the foundation of Rome through the history of the seven kings, the establishment of the Republic and its internal struggles, up to Rome's recovery after the fierce Gallic invasion of the fourth century bc. Livy vividly depicts the great characters, legends, and tales, including the story of Romulus and Remus. Reprinting Robert Ogilvie's lucid 1971 introduction, this highly regarded edition now boasts a new preface, examining the text in light of recent Livy scholarship, informative maps, bibliography, and an index. Translated by Aubrey de Sélincourt with an introduction by Robert Ogilvie.
