Download The Path to Rome (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from The Path to Rome And why (you will say) is all this put by itself in what anglo-saxons call a Foreword, but gentlemen a Preface? Why, it is because I have noticed that no book can appear without some such thing tied on before it; and as it is folly to neglect the fashion, be certain that I read some eight or nine thousand of them to be sure of how they were written and to be safe from generalising on too frail a basis.

Download Travels through France and Italy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
'Travels Through France and Italy' is a travelog by Tobias Smollet chronicling his journey across France and Italy after the tragic loss of his daughter. Smollett's keen observation, wit, and critical eye make for an entertaining read, as he describes in detail the natural phenomena, history, social life, economics, diet, and morals of the places he visited. His lively curiosity and quick eye enable him to foresee the potential of Cannes as a health resort and the possibilities of the Corniche road. However, Smollett's acerbic style often leads to quarrels with innkeepers, postilions, fellow travelers, and even entire cultures, as he holds many foreigners in contempt and derides many French and Italian customs. A classic work of travel literature, Smollett's 'Travels Through France and Italy' provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and a rich account of his adventures.

Download Literature and Culture in the Roman Empire, 96–235 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book explores new ways of analysing interactions between different linguistic, cultural, and religious communities across the Roman Empire from the reign of Nerva to the Severans (96–235 CE). Bringing together leading scholars in classics with experts in the history of Judaism, Christianity and the Near East, it looks beyond the Greco-Roman binary that has dominated many studies of the period, and moves beyond traditional approaches to intertextuality in its study of the circulation of knowledge across languages and cultures. Its sixteen chapters explore shared ideas about aspects of imperial experience - law, patronage, architecture, the army - as well as the movement of ideas about history, exempla, documents and marvels. As the second volume in the Literary Interactions series, it offers a new and expansive vision of cross-cultural interaction in the Roman world, shedding light on connections that have gone previously unnoticed among the subcultures of a vast and evolving Empire.

Download The Reach of Rome Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In this unconventional and accessible history, Italian best-seller Alberto Angela literally follows the money to map the reach and power of the Roman Empire. To see a map of the Roman Empire at the height of its territorial expansion is to be struck by its size, stretching from Scotland to Kuwait, from the Sahara to the North Sea. What was life like in the Empire, and how were such diverse peoples and places united under one rule? The Reach of Rome explores these questions through an ingenious lens: the path of a single coin as it changes hands and traverses the vast realms of the empire in the year 115. Admired in his native Italy for his ability to bring history to life through narrative, Alberto Angela opens up the ancient world to readers who have felt intimidated by the category or put off by dry historical tomes. By focusing on aspects of daily life so often overlooked in more academic treatments, The Reach of Rome travels back in time and shows us a world that was perhaps not very different from our own. And by following the path of a coin through the streams of commerce, we can touch every corner of that world and its people, from legionnaires and senators to prostitutes and slaves. Through lively and detailed vignettes all based on archeological and historical evidence, Angela reveals the vast Roman world and its remarkable modernity, and in so doing he reinforces the relevance of the ancient world for a new generation of readers.
