Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Imperialism Obviously the student of Rome's growth must not rest con tent with generalizations that have come into vogue in a later day. He must treat each instance of expansion as an individual problem and attempt to estimate all the contributing factors. He must also give a just evaluation of the opposing factors, which have so often been overlooked. Livy naturally did not devote as much space to telling of the falterings and the retreats as to the glories of the onward charge, but, though less pictur esque, they are equally important to history. An adequate analysis must reveal the halting places as well as the victorious advances, it must lay due emphasis upon the Checks imposed by the fetial rules, the hesitation of the senate before taking the inviting step into southern Italy and Sicily, the refusal of the people to grow enthusiastic over the foreign policy of the Scipios, the hauling down of the flag in Illyricum, Mace donia, Africa, Syria, and Germany. It will bring to light the fact that Rome's growth is far from being comprehended in a single formula of modern invention, and it will explain the apparent paradox that Rome became mistress of the whole world while adhering with a fair degree of fidelity to a sacred rule which forbade wars of aggression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Imperialism: And Other Lectures and Essays That the revolution was a triumph, not of liber aliam, but of military organization, will become still clearer if we now proceed to examine the new insti tutions which it introduced. Had Cesar lived longer, he would no doubt have stamped a liberal character upon his work. Though he was no champion of the provinces, and though he owed his elevation imme' diately to the army, and only remotely to the democ racy, yet his disposition was liberal, and his states manship bold, original, and magnanimous. He might therefore have developed at once and forced into ripeness those germs of good in the new system which, as it was, ripened but slowly. He might have taken away fi'om Italy that unjust precedence in the Empire which she retained for three more centuries, and raised the provinces to citizenship and participation in the honors of the state. This he might have done, but had he done it he would have accomplished another revolution. That the Empire at that time did not require such changes, even if it would have borne them, is plain from the fact that his successor Augustus was able to found a secure and durable im perial system, was able, in fact, to conduct the movement which his uncle had begun to. Its nat ural goal, without appealing to any liberal tendencies. Augustm was in all things aristocratically disposed; his bear the stamp of a conservative, exclu. Live, old-roman spirit. This did not prevent him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

His share in all these is more fully in dicated by him on pages 1 - 7. The memoir of Arnold is written by his sister Mrs. Humphry Ward, and by Mr. O. E. Montague, for many years his colleague on the stafi of the Manchester Guardian. Mrs. Ward has written the portions which deal with her brother's early life and last years.

Opening with the Punic War in 264 BC, he vividly records the critical stages of Roman expansion: its campaigns throughout the Mediterranean, the temporary setbacks inflicted by Hannibal and the final destruction of Carthage.

He had access to books in abundance, and his tutor, who was a man of great good sense and amiability but of no remarkable capacity, very judiciously left his industrious pupil to pursue his studies in his own way. Hiving wisdom with each studious year, as Byron so truly says, he speedily amassed a store of learning which has seldom been equalled. His in satiable love of knowledge, his rare capacity for concentrated, accurate, and fruitful study, guided by a singularly sure and masculine judgment, soon made him, in the true sense Of the word, one of the best scholars Of his time.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Romans Under the Empire, Vol. 1 of 8 I have stated in my first chapter the limits I venture to assign to the work, namely, the transfer of the seat of empire from Rome to Constantinople. I shall endeavour to trace throughout the long period before me the effects of conquest and supremacy upon the Roman people; the reaction of the pro vinces upon the capital the struggles of the conquered nations to assert for themselves a share in the dignities and privileges of the conquering race; and the gradual fusion into one mass of Ita lians, Britons, Africans, and Orientals. I shall have to inquire how far the boast of the Romans them selves was true, who, when they beheld the result of this universal fusion and settlement, exclaimed, that their city alone had been wise and just enough to promote this beneficent revolution of her own accord.1 For we shall see that her concessions were in a great degree extorted from her; and the crown ing event which obliterates the last vestige of Roman sentiments, the establishment of Christianity, was in fact the conquest of Rome by her own subjects.
