This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Roman Empire From Its Foundation to the Death of Marcus Aurelius 27 IT is well known that for the period of Roman history, which is of all its periods perhaps the most important - the first two centuries of the Empire - there exists no English handbook suitable for use in Universities and Schools. The consequence of this want in our educational course is that the knowledge of Roman history possessed by students, who are otherwise men of considerable attainments in classical literature, comes to a sudden end at the Battle of Actium. At least, their systematic knowledge ends there of. The subsequent history they know only isolated facts gathered at haphazard from Horace, J uvenal and Tacitus. This much-felt need will, it is hoped, be met by the present volume, which bridges the gap between the Student's Rome and the Student's Gibbon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Roman Empire, From the Accession of Augustus to the End of the Empire of the West: Being a Continuation of the History of Rome The present volume is peculiarly valuable on many accounts. It embraces a period, the history of which exists in no accessible form, while its facts are of a most interest ing and important nature, as connected with the rise, and Spread, and in uence, and corruptions of the Christian church. It forms a connecting link between the times and nations properly called. Ancient, and those properly called modern, inasmuch as it displays the first inroads of the peoples and races destined gradually to mould the latter, upon the strength, and power, and sway of the former, and their final rise upon their ruins.

Download or read book History of the Romans Under the Empire Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by Charles Merivale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Romans Under the Empire, Vol. 5 Even when their conquests extended far and wide over islands and continents, Rome and Athens, Syra cuse and Sparta, still continued, unlike England and France, Russia and Turkey, in modern times, to be the names of cities, rather than of countries; all political privileges centred in them, and flowed thence with slow and measured pace to the more favoured of their subject communities. It is to this principle of their polity that we owe much of the intense national life, the deep-marked lines of national character, of faith, manners, and opinions, which severally distinguished them, and which seem to have received their form and pressure from the mould of the city walls in which they were first fused together. We have seen, however, in the last chapter, how the exclusive pretensions of the great est of these conquering cities were eventually modi fied by the exigencies of a wide extended sovereignty. The Roman empire claims at last, the first 111 civil ized antiquity, to be considered as in itself apolitical body, independent of its connexion with Rome, the residence of its chief governor. Our history becomes a review of the affairs of a vast unit, the aggregate of a multitude of smaller members, the sum of many combined elements. The title axed to it, the History of the Romans rather than of Rome, may serve to mark this important feature in its character; and accordingly it seemed most fitting to commence our survey of the condition of the Roman people under Augustus with a general view of the empire itself, and the social and political hands by which it was held together and compacted into one system. I have reserved for a second chapter the more Special examination of the features of the illustrious city from which it must still derive its chief interest, as Well as its celebrated name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Empire Italy is the central peninsula of the three which Southern Europe thrusts down into the Mediterranean Sea. The Alps wall it off from the continent, the piers of their mighty arch resting on the gulfs of Genoa and Venice. On the east is the Adriatic, which the Romans called Mare Superum (the Upper Sea), so distinguishing it from Mare Inferum, the Lower or Tuscan Sea, which washed their western shores. The Ionian Sea, on the south, rolls between the "sole of the boot" and Greece, completing the natural boundaries. The extreme length of the peninsula is seven hundred miles. The northern expansion is three hundred miles broad, and the southern (from "heel" to "toe") is two hundred. The average width of the peninsula is not far from one hundred miles. The area of Italy is about one hundred thousand miles, or twice that of the state of New York. Two mountain ranges, the Alps and the Apennines, are the most conspicuous features of the Italian topography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome and the Making of Modern Europe IN 1886 - 7 the author Of this book prepared a primer of Roman history upon a plan devised by John H. Vincent. The volume, which was entitled An Outline History of Rome, was placed upon the Chautauqua reading course for. The en suing year, where it gave a considerable degree Of satis faction - perhaps quite as much as was to be expected of a sketch so brief and bony. The aim Of the book had been to restrict the work to the Significant events and important actors, sacrificing dramatic form and picturesque detail to the necessity Of condensation. The present work is an extension of the Outline History, so as to cover the historical period which bridges the gap be tween the Roman Empire and Modern Europe.

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.
