Download or read book The Seven Hills of Rome written by Grant Heiken and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings, Rome became perhaps the greatest intercontinental power in the world. Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city. This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework. If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation.

Download or read book The Hills of Rome written by Caroline Vout and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome is 'the city of seven hills'. This book examines the need for the 'seven hills' cliché, its origins, development, impact and borrowing. It explores how the cliché relates to Rome's real volcanic terrain and how it is fundamental to how we define this. Its chronological remit is capacious: Varro, Virgil and Claudian at one end, on, through the work of Renaissance antiquarians, to embrace frescoes and nineteenth-century engravings. These artists and authors celebrated the hills and the views from these hills, in an attempt to capture Rome holistically. By studying their efforts, this book confronts the problems of encapsulating Rome and 'cityness' more broadly and indeed the artificiality of any representation, whether a painting, poem or map. In this sense, it is not a history of the city at any one moment in time, but a history of how the city has been, and has to be, perceived.

But neither he nor his reign can last forever... Brash and headstrong, Vix is a celebrated ex-gladiator returned to Rome to make his fortune. The sinuous, elusive Sabina is a senator's daughter who craves adventure. Sometimes lovers, sometimes enemies, Vix and Sabina are united by their devotion to Trajan. But others are already maneuvering in the shadows. Trajan's ambitious Empress has her own plans for Sabina. And the aristocratic politician Hadrian—who is both the Empress's ruthless protégé and Vix's mortal enemy—has ambitions he confesses to no one, ambitions rooted in a secret prophecy. When Trajan falls, they all will be caught in a deadly whirlwind that may seal their fates, and that of the entire Roman Empire...

Download or read book The Eternal City written by Ferdinand Addis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent and definitive history of the Eternal City, narrated by a master historian. Why does Rome continue to exert a hold on our imagination? How did the "Caput mundi" come to play such a critical role in the development of Western civilization? Ferdinand Addis addresses these questions by tracing the history of the "Eternal City" told through the dramatic key moments in its history: from the mythic founding of Rome in 753 BC, via such landmarks as the murder of Caesar in 44 BC, the coronation of Charlemagne in AD 800 and the reinvention of the imperial ideal, the painting of the Sistine chapel, the trial of Galileo, Mussolini's March on Rome of 1922, the release of Fellini's La Dolce Vita in 1960, and the Occupy riots of 2011. City of the Seven Hills, spiritual home of Catholic Christianity, city of the artistic imagination, enduring symbol of our common European heritage—Rome has inspired, charmed, and tempted empire-builders, dreamers, writers, and travelers across the twenty-seven centuries of its existence. Ferdinand Addis tells this rich story in a grand narrative style for a new generation of readers.
Download or read book Ogle Family Freemasonry and the City of Seven Hills Aka Rome written by T. Robert Welling and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome was founded under a different name between 1000 and 1500 years before 753 bce. The city by more than a few sources of evidence was in part a continuation of the Trojan War, as well as an outlying city called Alba Longa. The first major rally point from the escaping Trojans was the future cite of Constantinople renamed by the Muslims to Istanbul. A minor closer rally point was the future location of the Counsel of Nicaea, which is where the books of the Bible were literally voted upon to create the current canonized and un-canonized books of the Bible. Prince of Troy Aeneas was sent out to build or upgrade an existing city e.g. Alba Longa to prepare for the influx of Jewish refugees “The Lost 13th Tribe of Israel The Trojan War survivors and the Slaves from the Hyksos Dorian shield wall whom managed to escape to join the ranks of the Trojans were ferried out of the War to two safe grounds. First to the future city of Rome, second to Northumberland aka the Kingdom of Yr Hen Ogle dd. The Punic War actually started immediately after the Trojan War, with those still young enough chased the Trojans from Troy to the City of Seven Hills. Itself was part of the Hyksos invasion evacuation from the Jews whom built the Pyramids. In effect the City of Seven Hills was built as an evacuation replacement for the Pyramids. The time from 1300 to 753 bce was carefully erased from the city's history, in part because the events in that more than half a millennia were entirely unpleasant for the attacking Hyksos army. Both the Dorians and Avaris were present at both Troy and The City of Seven Hills. The entire Helen, Menelaus, Paris love triangle is a pure fiction with less than 0 basis in fact. Helen and Menelaus would not have been within literally an arrow shot of each other. There is absolutely no possible way Helen would have been promised in marriage to him. It would be similar to the son of Al-Qaida being engaged to the daughter of Masada. However a love triangle most likely did exist between Moses aka Ajax the Lessor and Queen Hecuba and wife of King Priam. She was more than likely the daughter of Amenhotep iv Akhenaten. Moses followed the escaping Trojans to Alba Longa to keep fighting. His descendants and himself were the ones whom wrote the history down, if he wanted to lie, questioning his word or what he wrote down was an executable offense from the time of the Exodus aka the Trojan war and Levant Ghetto to King David. This is where the cascade effect from the end of the Trojan War becomes the War to destroy The Seven Hills and rename to Rome; erasing all the evidence from previous to the founding of Rome.
