This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Principate of the Emperor Nero The Appendices and the Notes contain complete (i believe) references to all the ancient evidence which concerns this history, and, on occasion, discussion of its value or of controversies which arise concerning it. To these Notes and Appendices I must still venture to refer the student even at this time when the examination craze threatens increasingly to degrade, if not to destroy, patient learning in the Uni versity. But the general reader's attention is not distracted from the narrative, as the whole apparatus of Inquiry is thus relegated to the end of the book.

APPENDICES A.--THE ANCIENT AUTHORITIES. B.--CHRISTIANITY AND THE GOVERNMENT. C.--NERO'S TITLES, ETC. APPENDICES APPENDIX A THE ANCIENT AUTHORITIES i. Tacitus. Tacitus narrates the last part of the principate of Claudius from A.d. 47 to his death in Oct. 54 in Annals--Books xi. and xii. Books xiii.-xvi. contain the principate of Nero from his accession to the scene of the death of Thrasea in 'a.d. 66, where the work abruptly breaks off unfinished. This part of Tacitus' work was written under Trajan probably about A.d. 115, and thus the question of its credibility turns largely on the sources Tacitus himself consulted. For the "personal equation" cf. especially Hermann Peter, "Die Geschichtliche Literatur iiber die Romische Kaiserzeit bis Theodosius I. und ihre Quellen "--8vo. Leipzig, 1897. Band ii. pp. 42-67--whose views I briefly adopt. Tacitus' Sources: [Chief modern works: i. Callegari, Ettore: Dei Fonti per la Storia di Nerone (ap. Atti del reale Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti, Serie 6. Tom. 6, pp. 1099-1136, 1397-1454; Tom. 7, pp. 153-198, 219-252: Ann. 1887-1889) --a good piece of work though the method recommended is obvious and its conclusion somewhat trite. 2.

Download or read book The Emperor Nero written by Anthony A. Barrett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nero's reign (AD 54–68) witnessed some of the most memorable events in Roman history, such as the rebellion of Boudica and the first persecution of the Christians—not to mention Nero's murder of his mother, his tyranny and extravagance, and his suicide, which plunged the empire into civil war. The Emperor Nero gathers into a single collection the major sources for Nero's life and rule, providing students of Nero and ancient Rome with the most authoritative and accessible reader there is. The Emperor Nero features clear, contemporary translations of key literary sources along with translations and explanations of representative inscriptions and coins issued under Nero. The informative introduction situates the emperor's reign within the history of the Roman Empire, and the book's concise headnotes to chapters place the source material in historical and biographical context. Passages are accompanied by detailed notes and are organized around events, such as the Great Fire of Rome, or by topic, such as Nero's relationships with his wives. Complex events like the war with Parthia—split up among several chapters in Tacitus's Annals—are brought together in continuous narratives, making this the most comprehensible and user-friendly sourcebook on Nero available. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Download or read book Nero Caesar Augustus written by David Shotter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propelled to power by the age of 17 by an ambitious mother, self-indulgent to the point of criminality, inadequate, paranoid and the perpetrator of heinous crimes including matricide and fratricide, and deposed and killed by 31, Nero is one of Rome’s most infamous Emperors. But has history treated him fairly? Or is the popular view of Nero as a capricious and depraved individual a travesty of the truth and a gross injustice to Rome's fifth emperor? This new biography will look at Nero’s life with fresh eyes. While showing the man 'warts and all', it also caste a critical eye on the 'libels' which were perpetrated on him, such as claiming he was a madman, many of which were most probably made up to suit the needs of the Flavians, who had overthrown his dynasty.

Book excerpt: Nero's personality and crimes have always intrigued historians and writers of fiction. However, his reign also illuminates the nature of the Julio-Claudian Principate. Nero's suicide brought to an end the dynasty Augustus had founded, and placed in jeopardy the political system he had devised. Miriam T. Griffin's authoratitive survey of Nero's reign incorporates both a chronological account, as well as an analysis of the reasons for Nero's collapse under the pressure of his role as emperor.
Download or read book Ancient Greece and Rome written by Keith Hopwood and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Thomas Fairfax, not Oliver Cromwell, was creator and commander of Parliament's New Model Army from 1645 to1650. Although Fairfax emerged as England's most successful commander of the 1640s, this book challenges the orthodoxy that he was purely a military figure, showing how he was not apolitical or disinterested in politics. The book combines narrative and thematic approaches to explore the wider issues of popular allegiance, puritan religion, concepts of honour, image, reputation, memory, gender, literature, and Fairfax's relationship with Cromwell. 'Black Tom' delivers a groundbreaking examination of the transformative experience of the English revolution from the viewpoint of one of its leading, yet most neglected, participants. It is the first modern academic study of Fairfax, making it essential reading for university students as well as historians of the seventeenth century. Its accessible style will appeal to a wider audience of those interested in the civil wars and interregnum more generally.
