Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterly investigation into the Classical roots of Western civilization, taking the reader on an illuminating journey from Troy, Athens, and Sparta to Utopia, Alexandria, and Rome. An authoritative and accessible study of the foundations, development, and enduring legacy of the cultures of Greece and Rome, centered on ten locations of seminal importance in the development of Classical civilization. Starting with Troy, where history, myth and cosmology fuse to form the origins of Classical civilization, Nigel Spivey explores the contrasting politics of Athens and Sparta, the diffusion of classical ideals across the Mediterranean world, Classical science and philosophy, the eastward export of Greek culture with the conquests of Alexander the Great, the power and spread of the Roman imperium, and the long Byzantine twilight of Antiquity.

Download or read book The Grandeur That Was Rome a survey of Roman culture and civilisation written by J. C. Stobart and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Grandeur That Was Rome by J.C. Stobart' is a history book that examines Roman culture and civilization from the point of view of humanity and the progress of civilization. The author makes a deliberate attempt to adjust the historical balance by emphasizing the value of Rome's contribution to the lasting welfare of mankind. This book presents a new interpretation of Rome's history, where the author believes that the Empire without the Republic is almost as incomplete as the Republic without the Empire. It is a derivative history intended for readers who are not specialists, and its point of view is derived from the author's own. The pictures in the book have been chosen to convey an impression of grand building, vast, solid, and utilitarian, rather than of finished sculpture by Greek hands. This book will greatly appeal to readers who are interested in ancient history and want to gain a fresh perspective on the Roman Empire.

Book excerpt: Mary Beard is one of the world's best-known classicists - a brilliant academic, with a rare gift for communicating with a wide audience both though her TV presenting and her books. In a series of sparkling essays, she explores our rich classical heritage - from Greek drama to Roman jokes, introducing some larger-than-life characters of classical history, such as Alexander the Great, Nero and Boudicca. She invites you into the places where Greeks and Romans lived and died, from the palace at Knossos to Cleopatra's Alexandria - and reveals the often hidden world of slaves. She takes a fresh look at both scholarly controversies and popular interpretations of the ancient world, from The Golden Bough to Asterix. The fruit of over thirty years in the world of classical scholarship, Confronting the Classics captures the world of antiquity and its modern significance with wit, verve and scholarly expertise.

Download or read book The Grandeur That Was Rome 1912 written by John Clarke Stobart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grandeur That Was Rome, 1912: A Survey of Roman Culture and Civilization This book is a continuation of "The Glory that was Greece," written with the same purpose and from the same point of view. The point of view is that of humanity and the progress of civilisation. The value of Romes contribution to the lasting welfare of mankind is the test of what is to be emphasised or neglected. Hence the instructed reader will find a deliberate attempt to adjust the historical balance which has, I venture to think, been unfairly deflected by excessive deference to literary and scholastic traditions. The Roman histories of the nineteenth century were wont to stop short with the Republic, because Classical Latin ceased with Cicero and Ovid. They followed Livy and Tacitus in regarding the Republic as the hey-day of Roman greatness, and the Empire as merely a distressing sequel beginning and ending in tragedy. From the standpoint of civilisation this is an absurdity. The Republic was a mere preface. The Republic until its last century did nothing for the world, except to win battles whereby the road was opened for the subsequent advance of civilisation. Even the stern tenacity of the Roman defence against Hannibal, admirable as it was, can only be called superior to the still more heroic defence of Jerusalem by the Jews, because the former was successful and the latter failed. From the Republican standpoint Rome is immeasurably inferior to Athens. In short, what seemed important and glorious to Livy will not necessarily remain so after the lapse of nearly two thousand years.
