Book excerpt: A cura di Francesco Casorati Introduzione di Lietta De Salvo Edizione integrale con testo latino a fronte Poche opere hanno avuto la fortuna della Vita dei Cesari, tra le prime a essere riprodotta a stampa, diffusa e tradotta in tutte le lingue. Quest’opera contiene le vite degli imperatori delle dinastie Giulio-Claudia e Flavia, secondo uno schema in parte riconducibile alla biografia alessandrina (famiglia, nascita, adolescenza, inclinazioni, attività pubblica, vita privata, aspetto fisico, morte). In quest’ottica l’attenzione di Svetonio non è diretta tanto all’imperatore quanto all’uomo, di cui evidenzia debolezze e difetti, per attirare un pubblico avido di curiosità e pettegolezzi. «E quando il popolo reclamò una elargizione che gli era stata promessa, rispose di essere uomo di parola; ma quando ne reclamò una che in realtà egli non aveva promessa, rimproverò con un comunicato ufficiale quell’indegna impudenza, e dichiarò che non avrebbe dato niente, anche se aveva progettato di dare.» Svetonio Gaio Svetonio Tranquillo nacque a Roma intorno al 70 d.C. da una ricca famiglia equestre. Ricoprì importanti cariche alla corte dell’imperatore Adriano, ma cadde in disgrazia fra il 121 e il 122. Morì tra il 130 e il 140.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vita dei Cesari è una raccolta di dodici biografie dedicate a Cesare e agli imperatori da Augusto a Domiziano: scritte con lingua chiara e semplice, senza prolissità o ricercatezze, hanno stile rapido e colorito. Il racconto è condotto attraverso un singolare e insolito cumulo di aneddoti, notizie storiche, indiscrezioni e pettegolezzi – che l’autore poté conoscere grazie alla sua posizione a corte – che compongono un quadro inedito e originale della vita privata degli imperatori. La ricchezza di materiali dà alla narrazione un’impressione di frammentarietà e insieme di estrema vivezza quotidiana, e costituisce una fonte storiografica di grande importanza.

This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. Suetonius Tranquillus was the son of a Roman knight who commanded a legion, on the side of Otho, at the battle which decided the fate of the empire in favour of Vitellius. From incidental notices in the following History, we learn that he was born towards the close of the reign of Vespasian, who died in the year 79 of the Christian era. He lived till the time of Hadrian, under whose administration he filled the office of secretary; until, with several others, he was dismissed for presuming on familiarities with the empress Sabina, of which we have no further account than that they were unbecoming his position in the imperial court. How long he survived this disgrace, which appears to have befallen him in the year 121, we are not informed; but we find that the leisure afforded him by his retirement, was employed in the composition of numerous works, of which the only portions now extant are collected in the present volume. Several of the younger Pliny's letters are addressed to Suetonius, with whom he lived in the closest friendship. They afford some brief, but generally pleasant, glimpses of his habits and career; and in a letter, in which Pliny makes application on behalf of his friend to the emperor Trajan, for a mark of favour, he speaks of him as "a most excellent, honourable, and learned man, whom he had the pleasure of entertaining under his own roof, and with whom the nearer he was brought into communion, the more he loved him."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (c70-c140), also known as Suetonius, was a prominent Roman historian and biographer. He is mainly remembered as the author of De Vita Caesarum (Lives of the Caesars, best known in English as The Twelve Caesars), his only extant work. The Twelve Caesars, probably written in Hadrian's time, is a collective biography of the Roman Empire's first leaders who were: Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. The work tells the tale of each Caesar's life according to a set formula: the descriptions of appearance, omens, family history, quotes, and then a history are given in a consistent order for each Caesar. Suetonius regarded emperors who amassed wealth for the public purse to be "greedy", perhaps a reflection of the average Roman middle class attitudes.

Download or read book Women's History and Ancient History written by Sarah B. Pomeroy and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the lives and roles of women in antiquity. A recurring theme is the relationship between private and public, and many of the essays find that women's public roles develop as a result of their private lives, specifically their family relationships. Essays on Hellenistic queens and Spartan and Roman women document how women exerted political power--usually, but not always, through their relationship to male leaders--and show how political upheaval created opportunities for them to exercise powers previously reserved for men. Essays on the writings of Sappho and Nossis focus on the interaction between women's public and private discourses. The collection also includes discussion of Athenian and Roman marriage and the intrusion of the state into the sexual lives of Greek, Roman, and Jewish women as well as an investigation of scientific opinion about female physiology. The contributors are Sarah B. Pomeroy, Jane McIntosh Snyder, Marilyn M. Skinner, Cynthia B. Patterson, Ann Ellis Hanson, Lesley Dean-Jones, Natalie Boymel Kampen, Mary Taliaferro Boatwright, and Shaye J.D. Cohen.

Book Synopsis Overarching Greek Trends in European Philosophy by : Marco Antonio Coronel Ramos
Download or read book Overarching Greek Trends in European Philosophy written by Marco Antonio Coronel Ramos and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past - or tradition - and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts. This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage. In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors. The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries. The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English. Este libro es una indagación en la memoria del mundo occidental. Específicamente, la memoria es el armazón de la cultura, porque liga el presente al pasado —o tradición— y lo proyecta al futuro. Por ello, toda obra centrada en la memoria entraña un doble reto: (1) revelar el origen de los conceptos y (2) atisbar el rumbo de los pensamientos. Este es el caso del presente volumen, en el que realizan diversas catas en el patrimonio intelectual europeo. Lo hace teniendo en cuenta tanto el origen griego de ese legado como su relevancia para comprender el acervo filosófico europeo. En concreto, se centra en la tradición aristótelica, verdadera clave de bóveda de Europa, y en otras corrientes de pensamiento que también han jugado un papel esencial en la evolución intelectual del viejo continente. En éste último ámbito hay contribuciones, por ejemplo, sobre tradiciones filosófico-religiosas como el orfismo o sobre determinados aspectos fundamentales del neoplatonismo en el mundo clásico y en autores cristianos. Concluye el volumen con diversos trabajos sobre la pervivencia de esas tendencias intelectuales desde el renacimiento hasta nuestros días. En consecuencia, esta obra ofrece la oportunidad de profundizar en algunos aspectos que definen nuestra civilización, observados tanto desde su origen como desde su evolución a lo largo de los siglos.
