Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Life of Hadrian Prior to His Accession The other part of the Vita is characterized by the vagueness and looseness of its style, and by its strange words and phrases, as well as by the trivial, personal and frequently scandalous quality of its notices. It deals much with anecdotes. No at tention is paid to chronology; the statements oat in air. This part of the Vita has been called the biographic part (bio graphischer It is violently hostile to Hadrian; by final analysis it represents the gossip and scandal about him which his many enemies of the senatorial class set in motion. Spar fianns had some history or biography of senatorial origin be fore him and combined its use with that of the work of the Anonymous. Now the latter was friendly to Hadrian, hence the Vita as it stands today bristles with contradictions. Spar tianus was a wretched compiler; he copied his sources word for word, and patched his excerpts roughly together without making any attempt to harmonize them in style or to recon cile the contradictions in content. He used the work of the Anonymous in a manner at once arbitrary and careless, he has left out much of importance, and was apparently inclined to sacrifice good historical notices to make room for bio graphic bits he considered interesting.

Download or read book Hadrian written by Anthony R Birley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadrian's reign (AD 117-138) was a watershed in the history of the Roman Empire. Hadrian abandoned his predecessor Trajan's eastern conquests - Mesopotamia and Armenia - trimmed down the lands beyond the lower Danube, and constructed new demarcation lines in Germany, North Africa, and most famously Hadrian's Wall in Britain, to delimit the empire. The emperor Hadrian, a strange and baffling figure to his contemporaries, had a many-sided personality. Insatiably ambitious, and a passionate Philhellene, he promoted the 'Greek Renaissance' extravagantly. But his attempt to Hellenize the Jews, including the outlawing of circumcision, had disastrous consequences, and his 'Greek' love of the beautiful Bithynian boy Antinous ended in tragedy. No comprehensive account of Hadrian's life and reign has been attempted for over seventy years. In Hadrian: The Restless Emperor, Anthony Birley brings together the new evidence from inscriptions and papyri, and up-to-date and in-depth examination of the work of other scholars on aspects of Hadrian's reign and policies such as the Jewish war, the coinage, Hadrian's building programme in Rome, Athens and Tivoli, and his relationship with his favourite, Antinous, to provide a thorough and fascinating account of the private and public life of a man who, though hated when he died, left an indelible mark on the Roman Empire.

Download or read book Trajan written by Julian Bennett and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trajan (AD 98-117) is one of the very few Roman emperors who has always been seen in a good light. Popular during his lifetime, by the fourth century he had become the litmus test of imperial excellence. In the Middle Ages he was placed by Dante in the sixth sphere of Heaven among the Just and Temperate Rulers, and for Gibbon, Trajan's principate ushered in the Golden Age of the Roman Empire. In this the first comprehensive biography in English, Julian Bennett tests the substance of the emperor's glorious reputation. No ancient biography of Trajan survives and the period as a whole is singularly ill-served by the extant literary evidence. A thorough examination of the contemporary archaeological and epigraphic evidence supplements this inadequate written record and allows Dr Bennett to cover every major aspect of Trajan's reign. Dr Bennett's central conclusion is that Trajan's reign was indeed the apogee of the principate established by Augustus and his successors. It saw the birth of the 'imperiate' - the full realization of the imperial system. Moreover, the emperor himself is seen as the pivotal character in this development. Trajan's contemporary reputation as Optimus Princeps seems to have been richly deserved.

Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman Empire sends a barbarian warrior to faraway Britain in this historical novel of love and survival in the ancient world. A Sarmatian warrior-prince, Ariantes is uprooted from his home and thrust into the honorless lands of the Romans. The victims of a wartime pact with the emperor Marcus Aurelius, Ariantes and his troop are sent to watch over Hadrian’s Wall. Unsurprisingly, the Sarmatians hate Britain—an Island of Ghosts, filled with pale faces, stone walls, and an uneasy past. Struggling to command his own people to defend a land they despise, Ariantes is accepted by all, but trusted by none. The Romans fear his barbarian background, and his own men fear his gradual Roman assimilation. When Ariantes uncovers a conspiracy sure to damage both his Roman benefactors and his beloved countrymen, as well as put him and the woman he loves in grave danger, he must make a difficult decision—one that will change his own life forever.
