Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scriptores Historiae Augustae, Vol. 2: With an English Translation The traditional assignment of the several biographies to six different authors involves many difficulties and apparent inconsistencies and gives rise to various questions. Did each of the first four authors actually write a complete series of imperial biographies from which the various vitae of this collection have been selected? If so, who made the selection and on what principle was it made? Why did "Spartianus" write his Severus and "Capitolinus" his Marcus Aurelius, Verus, and Macrinus under Diocletian, and the former his Geta and the latter his Albinus, Maximini, and Gordiam under Constantine twenty years later?

Download or read book The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity written by Éric Rebillard and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative book Éric Rebillard challenges many long-held assumptions about early Christian burial customs. For decades scholars of early Christianity have argued that the Church owned and operated burial grounds for Christians as early as the third century. Through a careful reading of primary sources including legal codes, theological works, epigraphical inscriptions, and sermons, Rebillard shows that there is little evidence to suggest that Christians occupied exclusive or isolated burial grounds in this early period. In fact, as late as the fourth and fifth centuries the Church did not impose on the faithful specific rituals for laying the dead to rest. In the preparation of Christians for burial, it was usually next of kin and not representatives of the Church who were responsible for what form of rite would be celebrated, and evidence from inscriptions and tombstones shows that for the most part Christians didn't separate themselves from non-Christians when burying their dead. According to Rebillard it would not be until the early Middle Ages that the Church gained control over burial practices and that "Christian cemeteries" became common. In this translation of Religion et Sépulture: L'église, les vivants et les morts dans l'Antiquité tardive, Rebillard fundamentally changes our understanding of early Christianity. The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity will force scholars of the period to rethink their assumptions about early Christians as separate from their pagan contemporaries in daily life and ritual practice.
Download or read book Ancient Rome written by Paul A. Zoch and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised and expanded edition of Ancient Rome, author Paul A. Zoch presents the history and mythology of Rome, from its legendary progenitor Aeneas to the death of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180 c.e. Zoch guides readers through the military campaigns and political developments that shaped Rome’s rise from a small Italian city to the greatest imperial power the world had ever known, and he includes stories about its protagonists—such as Romulus and Remus, Horatius, and Nero—that are often omitted from more specialized studies. In Zoch’s retelling, the events and personalities of ancient Rome spring to life. We witness the long struggle against the enemy city of Carthage. We follow Caesar as he campaigns in Britain, and we observe the ebb and flow of Rome’s fortunes in the Hellenistic East. Emphasizing both the political and moral lessons to be learned from Roman history—and that remain relevant today—Zoch gives readers a narrative that is both entertaining and informative. An afterword takes the history to the fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 c.e.
