Book Synopsis Legions of Rome by : Stephen Dando-Collins
Download or read book Legions of Rome written by Stephen Dando-Collins and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No book on Roman history has attempted to do what Stephen Dando-Collins does in Legions of Rome: to provide a complete history of every Imperial Roman legion and what it achieved as a fighting force. The author has spent the last thirty years collecting every scrap of available evidence from numerous sources: stone and bronze inscriptions, coins, papyrus and literary accounts in a remarkable feat of historical detective work. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 provides a detailed account of what the legionaries wore and ate, what camp life was like, what they were paid and how they were motivated and punished. The section also contains numerous personal histories of individual soldiers. Part 2 offers brief unit histories of all the legions that served Rome for 300 years from 30BC. Part 3 is a sweeping chronological survey of the campaigns in which the armies were involved, told from the point of view of particular legions. Lavish, authoritative and beautifully produced, Legions of Rome will appeal to ancient history enthusiasts and military history buffs alike.

Book Synopsis Reading History in the Roman Empire by : Mario Baumann
Download or read book Reading History in the Roman Empire written by Mario Baumann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the relationship of Greco-Roman historians with their readerships has attracted much scholarly attention, classicists principally focus on individual historians, while there has been no collective work on the matter. The editors of this volume aspire to fill this gap and gather papers which offer an overall view of the Greco-Roman readership and of its interaction with ancient historians. The authors of this book endeavor to define the physiognomy of the audience of history in the Roman Era both by exploring the narrative arrangement of ancient historical prose and by using sources in which Greco-Roman intellectuals address the issue of the readership of history. Ancient historians shaped their accounts taking into consideration their readers’ tastes, and this is evident on many different levels, such as the way a historian fashions his authorial image, addresses his readers, or uses certain compositional strategies to elicit the readers’ affective and cognitive responses to his messages. The papers of this volume analyze these narrative aspects and contextualize them within their socio-political environment in order to reveal the ways ancient readerships interacted with and affected Greco-Roman historical prose.

Book Synopsis The Historians of Ancient Rome by : Ronald Mellor
Download or read book The Historians of Ancient Rome written by Ronald Mellor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historians of Ancient Rome is the most comprehensive collection of ancient sources for Roman history available in a single English volume. After a general introduction on Roman historical writing, extensive passages from more than a dozen Greek and Roman historians and biographers trace the history of Rome over more than a thousand years: from the city’s foundation by Romulus in 753 B.C.E. (Livy) to Constantine’s edict of toleration for Christianity (313 C.E.) Selections include many of the high points of Rome’s climb to world domination: the defeat of Hannibal; the conquest of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean; the defeat of the Catilinarian conspirators; Caesar’s conquest of Gaul; Antony and Cleopatra; the establishment of the Empire by Caesar Augustus; and the "Roman Peace" under Hadrian and long excepts from Tacitus record the horrors of the reigns of Tiberius and Nero. The book is intended both for undergraduate courses in Roman history and for the general reader interested in approaching the Romans through the original historical sources. Hence, excerpts of Polybius, Livy, and Tacitus are extensive enough to be read with pleasure as an exciting narrative. Now in its third edition, changes to this thoroughly revised volume include a new timeline, translations of several key inscriptions such as the Twelve Tables, and additional readings. This is a book which no student of Roman history should be without.

Book Synopsis Records of Roman History, from Cnæus Pompeius to Tiberius Constantinus, as Exhibited on the Roman Coins (Volume I) by : Francis Hobler
Download or read book Records of Roman History, from Cnæus Pompeius to Tiberius Constantinus, as Exhibited on the Roman Coins (Volume I) written by Francis Hobler and published by Alpha Edition. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of Roman History, From Cnæus Pompeius to Tiberius Constantinus, as Exhibited on the Roman Coins, Vol. 1 of 2 The title I have placed on the first page of this work may to some appear rather pretentious, and of greater import than is warranted by the subject matter. I trust that I shall be able in a few words, - for the extent to which these volumes have run will not bear the addition of a lengthy Introduction, - to justify the choice I have made. My experience in Roman Coins was very limited when I made the observa tion - that probably every one has made and will make under similar circumstances - namely, that, starting with the rude and heavy As, and following the series of Coins leading up to the fine types that commence with the reign of Augustus, thence tracing the series down again to the small and badly-executed Coins which make their appearance in the time of Gallienus, we have, from an artistic point of view, an epitome of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. With but few wants, and those of the simplest character, and confined almost entirely to the necessities of eating, drinking, and fighting, - for the latter was a necessity to him, and the element of his greatness, -the early Roman was well content if the treasury coffers were filled with that primitive description of money the As. When luxury had increased the number of his wants, the polished Roman of the time of Augustus found in the money of his day a more ready and convenient means of satisfying his manifold exigencies than if the pristine system of barter had still prevailed. Advancing onward to the latter days of the Empire, the reck less and feverish haste in converting material into negotiable forms, or, as it may be expressed, the turning of principal into interest regardless of the future and of its claims, is clearly shown by the slovenly and careless execution of the Coinage; while the immense numbers still existing of the Small Brass, which then became the principal medium of circulation, points with equal distinctness to the loss of that simplicity of life which characterised the Roman under the Consuls.

Book Synopsis The Histories & The Annals by : Tacitus
Download or read book The Histories & The Annals written by Tacitus and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Histories" is a Roman historical chronicle and it covers the Year of Four Emperors following the downfall of Nero in 68 AD, a year in the history of the Roman Empire in which four emperors ruled in succession: Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian. The mode of their accession showed that because imperial power was based on the support of the legions, an emperor could now be chosen not only at Rome, but anywhere in the empire where sufficient legions were amassed. The style of narration is rapid, reflecting the speed of the events. The narrative rhythm leaves no space to slow down or digress. To write effectively in this style, Tacitus had to summarize substantial information from his sources. "The Annals" is a history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus to that of Nero, the years AD 14–68, covering the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero. As a senator, Tacitus had access to Acta Senatus, the Roman senate's records, thus providing a solid basis for his work. Along with The Histories, The Annals provide a key source for modern understanding of the history of the Roman Empire during the 1st century AD.
