Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Credibility of the Early Roman History, Vol. 1 of 2 A New attempt to investigate the early history of Rome may incur the risk of being condemned as either presumptuous or superfluous. It may be thought that preceding writers have discovered the truth; or that, if they have failed to discover it, the endeavours of others are not likely to be more successful. It is indeed certain that if, on the one hand, the subject is exhausted, all additional labour bestowed upon it must be thrown away; and that if, on the other, the problem is insoluble, all efforts to solve it must be vain. Before, however, we adopt either of these definitive views. Before, however, we adopt either of these definitive views, and assume either that our knowledge of early Roman history is so complete that nothing can enlarge it, or so obscure that nothing can enlighten it, an accurate survey of the position in which the subject has been left by the most recent inquiries seems imperatively required. For this purpose we will briefly trace the general progress of Roman history, from the revival of literature to the present time. In the first two centuries after the invention of printing, the history of Rome, for the regal and republican periods, was principally studied in Livy or in the classical compendia of Florus and Eutropius, and in Plutarch's Lives. The work of Dionysius was occasionally consulted, but was never generally read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Credibility of the Early Roman History, Vol. 1 of 2 Revolutions of Rome was prior, in point of time, to that of the Jesuits; it was not a continuous history, but, though distin guished by greater excellences of style, it was founded on the same critical principles. (7) The works of Echard, Vertot, Catron, Rollin, and Hooke, serve to characterize the period of unin quiring and uncritical reproduction Of Roman history. Their system was to eliminate marvels and patent improbabilities to reconcile discrepancies; to harmonize the various accounts into a coherent flowing narrative, and to treat the result as well ascertained fact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, an international team of outstanding scholars engage with the ideas and methods of Professor Peter Wiseman's past and present work. They provide a sustained response to the work of one of the most widely respected Roman historians of this generation. The contributions range over myth (Corialanus and Remus), the interplay between historiography, literature and myth-making (on Cleopatra, for instance), and art and story-telling at Boscoreale. They explore Roman drama (Pacuvius) and links between drama and Virgil's Aeneid; they discuss Catullus in Bithynia and Cicero on Greek and Roman culture. Professor Wiseman has been at the forefront of innovative research in Roman history, historiography, literature in context, drama and myth, for many years. His work is marked by the combination of a powerful historical imagination with an acute sense of the limitations of our knowledge and of the need to negotiate with the complexity of our sources.
