Book excerpt: What makes a king? It takes more than a name, more than gold, more even than the possession of an ancient power stone-as Valerius learns in this second volume of the Valerian Chronicles. With his Hidden Valley discovered by the enemy, Valerius faces tough decisions about the future of his rag-tag force, and must either make war on an old friend, or risk annihilation. Meanwhile, Thorngere travels the Inland Sea in the guise of a peddler, building a resistance network he hopes will help free the Empire from Fantar and reestablish Valerius Everreigning as High King. As he slumbers by his campfire late one evening, his life too, is suddenly changed by a dancing girl named Vahla... A girl whose blurted prophecy leads to a naval battle outside Dulcai; the thrilling rescue of King Reuters' daughter, Eomer; the siege of Kantar; and a major battle which brings Valerius to Zagorbia and threatens Fantar himself.

Book excerpt: Popular in its day both as a sourcebook for writers and orators and as a guidebook for living a moral life, this remarkably rich document serves as an engaging introduction to the cultural and moral history of ancient Rome. Valerius' "thousand tales" are arranged thematically in ninety-one chapters that cover nearly every aspect of life in the ancient world, including such wide-ranging topics as military discipline, child rearing, and women lawyers.

Download or read book Memorable Deeds and Sayings written by Valerius Maximus and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1998 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valerius Maximus stands alone as an extant prose author of the early principate who devoted specific interest to the Romans' attitude to religion. In eight chapters he presents a variety of material selected from earlier authors, such as Cicero, Livy, and Varro, to illustrate central areas of Roman religious thought and practice: augury, omens, dreams, and miracles. Valerius has not been translated into English since 1678 and there has never been a detailed commentary on his work in any language. With the growing interest in the non-Judaeo-Christian religions of the Mediterranean world and scholars recognizing that Roman religion should not be approached with Judaeo-Christian presuppositions or through the filter of the Christian Fathers, Valerius Maximus gives us an opportunity to see an unexceptional pagan speaking about his religion.
