Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in A.D. 364 when the author of this memoir, Marcus Cedranus, is born into a middle class landowners family in western Britain. While his material prospects are promising, his deteriorating relationship with his parents causes him to leave home for the continent. In Gaul he becomes a teamster for a freight hauling company, meets an older woman who will eventually play a major role in his life and is drafted into the Roman army in 382. He is assigned to Legion XXII in Mainz and in 383 is temporarily transferred to Belgrade on the Danube. A revolt in the west makes this transfer permanent. He participates in several military campaigns and takes part in a triumph in Constantinople in 386. In 388 his regiment takes part in the eastern offensive against the revolt in the west that has by now spread to Italy. With the revolt suppressed, he is assigned to a new imperial guard regiment for the restored western emperor, Valentinian II. During another transfer to the east Marcus suffers a terrible personal tragedy from which it is impossible to recover. Another civil war breaks out in the west and is suppressed with terrible casualties. Marcus is appointed tribune and made a member of the personal staff of Stilicho, the new generalissimo of the west. Further military adventures take place in Greece, Britain and Italy. A massive barbarian invasion of the west on December 31, 406 triggers political instability leading to revolts in both Britain and Italy. This inevitably leads to the sack of Rome by Alaric and his Visigoths in 410.

Download or read book Wolves of Rome written by Krešimir Vuković and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman foundation myth has been the subject of classical scholarship for centuries. But much in the story of Romulus and Remus remains unexplained. This is the first English language book-length study of the Lupercalia, a religious festival central to understanding both the Roman foundation myth and the history of Rome. The festival of the Lupercalia was a male initiation ritual and shares a number of traits with similar rituals across the world. The agonistic elements in the story of Romulus and Remus and the Lupercalia can be compared to a number of Vedic rituals and traced back to a common Indo-European prehistory. The Lupercalia celebration remained a central annual event throughout the history of Rome and reflected political and social life in the city. Caesar used it to stage a refusal of kingship and Augustus restored its initiatory aspect, which continued in the period of the Empire. It survived all attempts of Christian prohibition to appear in the form of a carnival that criticized the pope in the late 5th century. In sum, the book offers a new interpretation of the Roman foundation myth and the Lupercalia. It follows the transformation of a unique ritual from its Indo-European roots through Roman history to late antiquity.

Book excerpt: Britain 429 AD. Almost two decades have elapsed since Britain gained its independence from Rome. After initial devastation, people have begun to rebuild their lives. Family life continues as they make the most of their new circumstances. But there are still threats to their survival.

Fights erupt between the different tribes of Britain and when Count Constantius returns from a failed rebellion in Armorica, he looks at the surrounding lands for any opportunity to expand his power. King Coel of Elmet holds out the hand of friendship to others to foster trade. But are Picts, Angles, Saxons and Romans his enemies or should he arm Elmet against his fellow Britons.
