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.

Download or read book Roman Imperialism written by John Robert Seeley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 340 pages. 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.

Download or read book War and Imperialism in Republican Rome 327 70 B C written by William Vernon Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 327 and 70 B.C. the Romans expanded their empire throughout the Mediterranean world. This highly original study looks at Roman attitudes and behavior that lay behind their quest for power. How did Romans respond to warfare, year after year? How important were the material gains of military success--land, slaves, and other riches--commonly supposed to have been merely an incidental result? What value is there in the claim of the contemporary historian Polybius that the Romans were driven by a greater and greater ambition to expand their empire? The author answers these questions within an analytic framework, and comes to an interpretation of Roman imperialism that differs sharply from the conventional ones.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Common People of Ancient Rome, Studies of Roman Life and Literature This book, like the volume on Society and Politics in Ancient Rome, deals with the life of the common people, with their language and literature, their occupations and amuse ments, and with their social, political, and eco nomic conditions. We are interested in the common people of Rome because they made the Roman Empire what it was. They car ried the Roman standards to the Euphrates and the Atlantic; they lived abroad as traders, farmers, and soldiers to hold and Romanize the provinces, or they stayed at home, work ing as carpenters, masons, or bakers, to supply the daily needs of the capital.

Download or read book The Rise of the Roman Empire written by Polybius and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-08-28 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek statesman Polybius (c.200–118 BC) wrote his account of the relentless growth of the Roman Empire in order to help his fellow countrymen understand how their world came to be dominated by Rome. 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. An active participant of the politics of his time as well as a friend of many prominent Roman citizens, Polybius drew on many eyewitness accounts in writing this cornerstone work of history.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the History and Art of the Eastern Provinces of the Roman Empire Rome's first appearance in the field of Eastern politics had been as the champion of the Greeks and of purer Greek culture against the only half-hellenic power of the Seleucid Syrian monarchy. And this attitude She steadily maintained throughout the period of her greatest ascendancy: in the East the Romans identified themselves with Hellenic civilisation, culture and spirit, and wherever the Roman arms conquered, this Western or Hellenic influence was superimposed upon the subjugated countries. But in the sphere at least of art, the vigour of the pure Hellenic Spirit had died away before the commencement of the Christian era. Greek art in the service of Rome was characterised by great technical skill, but was no longer pure Greek. In the first three centuries after Christ, however, there can be traced a reincarnation of the artistic spirit, which passes through a regular course of development widely differing both in aim and in form from the art of the earlier age.

Download or read book The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Edward Gibbon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 1 The notes are partly derived from former commentators, and are partly composed by the present editor. The former class of notes is taken from the annotated edition of Dean Milman, who, in addition to his own remarks, has given those of M. Guizot and M. Wenck, appended to the French and German translations respectively. In using the valuable ma terials thus placed at his disposal by the kindness of Dean Milman, the editor has adhered to the principles mentioned above, and has therefore omitted several notes which seemed to him superfluous. But, while he has exercised an indepen dent judgment in adopting or rejecting the labors of his predecessors, he desires to acknowledge the great obligations he is under to Dean Milman, whose notes have received the approbation of the most competent scholars, and who has in many parts of the work added everything necessary to cor rect the errors or supply the deficiencies of the text. This is more especially the case in the chapters relating to Chris tianity, upon which the editor has abstained from making any remarks, believing that the criticisms of so distinguished a divine as Dean Milman would be more valuable and satis factory than any which could be offered by a layman whose studies have lain in another direction. In addition to the assistance derived from former oommen tators, the editor has much pleasure in acknowledging his obligations to his friend Mr. Layard, who has supplied him with valuable information upon the portions of Gibbon's work relating to the geography and history of the East.

Download or read book The Ancient Roman Empire and the British Empire in India written by James Bryce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Roman Empire and the British Empire in India: The Diffusion of Roman and English Law Throughout the World; Two Historical Studies These two Essays appeared, along with a number of others bearing upon cognate historical and legal topics, in two volumes entitled Studies in History and Juris prudence which I published some years ago. As it is now thought that they may have an interest for some readers, and especially for students of Indian history, who may not care to procure those volumes, they are now issued separately. Both Essays have been revised throughout and brought up to date by the insertion of the figures of the latest census of India and by references to recent legislation. They do not, however, touch upon any questions of cur rent Indian or English politics, for a discussion of these must needs involve matter of a controversial nature and might distract the reader's attention from those broad conclusions upon which historical students and impartial observers of India as it stands to-day are pretty gener ally agreed. It is a pleasure to me to acknowledge and express my gratitude for the help which I have received in the work of revision from one of my oldest and most valued friends, Sir Courtenay Ilbert, formerly Legal Member of the Viceroy's Council in India and now Clerk of the House of Commons.

Download or read book A Companion to Roman Imperialism written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman empire extended over three continents, and all its lands came to share a common culture, bequeathing a legacy vigorous even today. A Companion to Roman Imperialism, written by a distinguished body of scholars, explores the extraordinary phenomenon of Rome’s rise to empire to reveal the impact which this had on her subject peoples and on the Romans themselves. The Companion analyses how Rome’s internal affairs and international relations reacted on each other, sometimes with violent results, why some lands were annexed but others ignored or given up, and the ways in which Rome’s population and power élite evolved as former subjects, east and west, themselves became Romans and made their powerful contributions to Roman history and culture. Contributors are Eric Adler, Richard Alston, Lea Beness, Paul Burton, Brian Campbell, Arthur Eckstein, Peter Edwell, Tom Hillard, Richard Hingley, Benjamin Isaac, José Luis López Castro, J. Majbom Madsen, Susan Mattern, Sophie Mills, David Potter, Jonathan Prag, Steven Rutledge, Maurice Sartre, John Serrati, Tom Stevenson, Martin Stone, and James Thorne.
Download or read book The Study of Roman History Classic Reprint written by Bernard W. Henderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Roman History The aim of this little book is different. As a tutor in Roman History, I have at times been accused by worried pupils of delighting over much in the heuristic method. This simply means that I like asking them questions and dislike impart ing information in tabloid shape. This is really the main object of this book also - to ask questions, to suggest to any student who may read it subjects for his own consideration and research. It has certainly not been my primary object to tell once more the often-repeated tale of Rome's history. To be in charge of a working-party in a trench has some advantages as well as responsibilities. To direct, to encourage, at times to take a hand this is similarly my desire in this book. Above all, it is meant to provoke enquiry, if not dissent, by the workers (a proceeding viewed with less favour in a trench). I hope that its main feature may turn out to be as it were a menu to the banquet. If taken as the banquet itself it will be Barmecide fare.

Download or read book Civil War and Rebellion in the Roman Empire written by Bernard W. Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil War and Rebellion in the Roman Empire: A. D. 69-70; A Companion to the 'Histories' of Tacitus From the days of the elder Pliny to the present there have been many who have written concerning the history of the Civil Wars of A.D. 69 and 70. Of the writers whose works are extant, Tacitus stands easily first. Without his "Histories" we should indeed have but an inferior story of the struggle between the Emperors Otho and Vitellius, and a still poorer story of that between Vitellius and Vespasian. And yet always from the very first the strategic and military aspect of the three campaigns narrated by Tacitus has been neglected. To write the history of those campaigns by the aid of, and as illustrative of, modern strategical principles is the main purpose of this book. Two recent writers, it is true, have to some extent recognised the interest and value of such a treatment of Tacitus' story. Gerstenecker in 1882 contributed some suggestions on the military history of the war between Otho and Vitellius.
