Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El episodio histórico de la subasta del Imperio romano es un acontecimiento muy relevante en la historia de la humanidad y, al mismo tiempo, sumamente desconocido. ¿Hasta qué extremo de decadencia y degradación se hubo de llegar para que los pretorianos subastaran el trono de Roma? ¿Qué ocurrió para que se atrevieran a vender el Imperio al mejor postor? ¿A partir de qué instante comenzó la imparable decadencia? Tras el asesinato del sórdido emperador Lucio Aurelio Cómodo (180–192 d.C.), se produce la llegada al poder de uno de sus generales de confianza, antiguo comandante de Marco Aurelio, que intenta reconducir la situación siguiendo el camino trazado por el emperador filósofo, pero a quien le resultó imposible enderezar el rumbo. Se trata de Helvio Pértinax, que sufrirá tres conspiraciones en los tres meses que dura su reinado. Después de él vendrá la “Subasta del Imperio”, la puja ganada por el riquísimo senador Didio Juliano, que gobernó por la fuerza de su dinero, pero a quien los pretorianos también traicionaron cuando Severo se levantó en armas. En esta novela se narran, con extremo rigor histórico no exento de pulso literario, los reinados de estos dos emperadores, Pértinax y Juliano, que ocuparon el trono 87 y 66 días respectivamente, personajes clave de la historia de Roma porque están en el origen de la lenta e inexorable decadencia del Imperio. Esta apasionante obra de Alberto Monterroso, como su anterior éxito El amo de Roma", logra el pleno disfrute de la literatura sin que vea traicionada la verdad histórica, permitiendo entender qué pasó y por qué. Esa es la razón de su gran acogida por los lectores: un estilo ameno que habla de las pasiones y de la condición humana mediante una acción ágil y diálogos vibrantes. "Monterroso nos ofrece con sabiduría y pulso literario un excepcional friso histórico de un momento clave de nuestra civilización". CARLOS CLEMENTSON"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical episode of the auction of the Roman Empire is a very relevant event in the history of Rome and humanity. To what extreme of decadence and degradation did it take the Praetorians to auction the throne of Rome? What happened so that they dared to sell the Empire to the highest bidder? From what moment does the true decadence of Rome begin? After the assassination of Lucius Aurelius Commodus (180-192 A.D.), one of his trusted generals, former commander of Marcus Aurelius, came to power and tried to redirect the situation following the path traced by the philosopher emperor, but he found it impossible to straighten the course. This was Helvius Pertinax, who suffered three conspiracies in the three months of his reign. After him came the "Auction of the Empire", the bid won by the very rich senator Didius Julianus, who ruled by the force of his money, but who was also betrayed by the Praetorians when Severus took up arms.
Download or read book Roma Tre Law Review 02 2021 written by Giorgio Resta and published by Roma TrE-Press. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Roma Tre Law Review” is a law review sponsored by the Department of Law of the University of Roma Tre. It is not focused on a specific topic or a set of issues, but it is aimed at surveying transversally – and from an interdisciplinary perspective – the national and trans-national legal landscape. Its main aim is to promote the diffusion of the Italian legal culture, and namely the type of scholarship produced at Roma Tre, abroad, as well as to investigate the development of the law in several fields and places from an Italian and European viewpoint. Accordingly, the review will host contributions ideally characterized by a specific set of features, and namely by their openness to comparative, historical, and interdisciplinary perspectives on all legal issues of not strictly local concern.
Download or read book 50 A os en la iglesia de Roma written by Charles Chiniquy and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conversión de Charles Chiniquy, un ex sacerdote católico He aquí la hermosa y conmovedora historia de un sacerdote que no pudo permanecer en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Te reirás y llorarás con Chíniquy, y tu corazón se conmoverá con un profundo deseo de obedecer a Cristo y solamente a Él. Siendo niño, Chíniquy memorizaba las Escrituras en el regazo de su madre y desarrolló un profundo amor a Dios. Al llegar a ser sacerdote, desesperadamente quería poner su confianza plena en su “Iglesia”, pero lo inundaban olas de dudas porque su “Iglesia” profesaba adhesión al Evangelio; sin embargo, lo violaba continuamente. Sus superiores celosos le acusaron falsamente, pero Abraham Lincoln lo defendió y salvó su reputación. Chíniquy prueba que fueron los Jesuitas quienes más tarde asesinaron a Abraham Lincoln y explica por qué. Finalmente, su obispo demandó que desechara su preciosa Biblia y prometiera obediencia ciega a la “Iglesia”. Después de una noche oscura de lucha interior, salió gloriosamente salvo y guió casi a toda la población de St. Anne, Illinois, a confiar solamente en Cristo. Esta es la mejor obra que se haya escrito para mostrar, desde adentro, lo que el Catolicismo realmente es.

Download or read book Gold Coins of the World 9th edition written by Arthur L. Friedberg and published by Coin & Currency Institute. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 835 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and indispensable reference work Unsurpassed in content and scope When the first edition of Gold Coins of the World made its debut in 1958, it forever changed the way gold coins were collected, cataloged, traded, and priced. For the first time, one book provided a reliable guide for a subject which previously required an often expensive investment in multiple volumes of literature, some of it rare and antique, and much of it badly out-of-date. With the publication of this pioneering work, Robert Friedberg (1912-1963) established himself as an international icon in the field of numismatic literature. This book, and the 'Friedberg Numbering System' he developed became then, and is still today, the internationally-recognized standard for systematically identifying any gold coin ever made. From just 384 pages in 1958, Gold Coins of the World has expanded to the extent that it now contains more than triple the information of its ancestor. It still stands alone as the first and only book to describe, catalog and price two millennia of gold, platinum, and palladium coin issues from across the globe. From the first coins of the ancient Greeks to the most recently-issued modern commemoratives, they are all here, an astonishing compilation of more than 21,000 individual coin listings accompanied by over 8,000 actual-size photographs. The prices have been completely updated, for the most part raised substantially, to reflect the current market. Entire sections have been expanded, many illustrations have been added or improved, and hundreds of new discoveries and recent issues have been included for the first time. Arthur Friedberg, president of the International Association of Professional Numismatists from 2001 to 2007 and now its Honorary President, and Ira Friedberg, have completely revised and expanded their late father's work. They have had the valuable assistance and cooperation of a who's who of the leading numismatists on every continent in bringing this edition to fruition. For the numismatist, banker, economist, historian, institution of higher learning, or a fancier of the noble metal in all its forms, Gold Coins of the World is a book for every library, public and private.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition SPLENDOR: Juan Luna, Painter as Hero, a multimedia exhibition mounted in celebration of the 125th anniversary of Philippine Independence and Nationhood. The exhibition and accompanying publication aim to capture a watershed moment in our history through the analysis and investigation of the long-lost painting by Juan Luna, Hymen, oh Hyménée! which received a Bronze medal at the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris. Organized around three main themes, namely: the world of 1889, the complex imagery of Hymen, oh Hyménée!, and the painter as hero, the exhibition hopes to be both a fitting introduction to this important cultural treasure and a compelling prompt to revisit our country’s journey to nationhood, amid a radically and rapidly transforming world surrounding it at that time.

Download or read book The Quaestorship in the Roman Republic written by Francisco Pina Polo and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of evidence has proved to be the greatest obstacle involved in reconstructing the quaestorship and has probably discouraged scholars from undertaking a large-scale study of the office. As a consequence, a comprehensive study of the quaestorship has long been a desideratum: this book aims to fill this gap in the scholarship. The book contains a study of the quaestorship throughout the Roman Republic, both in Italy (particularly at Rome) and in the overseas provinces. It includes a history of the office, an analysis of its role within the cursus honorum and its larger importance for the Roman constitution as well as the prosopography of all quaestors known during the Republican period based on the literary, epigraphic and numismatic evidence. The quaestorship was always an office for beginners who aspired to follow a political career and hence served as institutional entrance to the senate. Despite their youth, quaestors were endowed with functions of great significance at Rome and abroad, such as the control and supervision of Rome’s finances. As the book shows, the quaestorship was a prominent and essential part of the Roman administration.
