Pictures of Old Rome (Classic Reprint) by Frances Minto Dickinson Elliot Pdf

Pictures of Old Rome by Frances Minto Dickinson Elliot is an enchanting account of Roman history in all its glory. Elliot opens a window into the world of Rome in its ancient days through a descriptive narrative that is sure to make the reader feel the sights and sounds he painstakingly constructs throughout the course of this book. Spread across thirteen chapters, Pictures of Old Rome starts with an account of the Piazza Del Popolo in all its grandeur. The author sets the tone for the rest of the text with an imaginative recollection of events as they would have been in ancient times, with references to the Emperor's parades and victory marches through the Piazza. He then moves on to describe various other points of attraction in the city including the mausoleum of Augustus, the catacombs, San Gregorio and many more. It is, however, Elliot's description of Rome's socio-economic dichotomy that keeps the reader enthralled. While a majority of the work praises and applauds the magnificent architecture and cultural revolution of Rome, it is in the chapter on Rome's Interiors that the reader will fully understand the stark differences between the rich and the poor and the urban rural divide that existed in old Rome. Elliot adopts sanguine language and liberal use of superlatives in this gripping recount of Rome in the days of the empire. Pictures of Old Rome is a must read for all those who are keen to learn more about this historical place whilst also being a treasure trove of information for travel enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

With that happy mixture of caution and courage which was probably half the secret of his good luck, he declined the offer, but resolved to visit the capital in a private capacity. Landing in Italy he heard that Caesar by his will had adopted him as his son and made him his heir. The troops at Brundisium, the port of disembarkation, saluted him accordingly by the name of Caesar. Early in May he arrived at Rome.

Rome and Its Story (Classic Reprint) by St. Clair Baddeley Pdf

Excerpt from Rome and Its Story To present, within the compass of a single volume, anything like a serviceable sketch of the history and monuments of the city of Rome is a task of extreme difficulty, and one which it might take the labour of years to perform with any approach to completeness. Nevertheless, I hope that the modern pilgrim may find in the following pages some help in the bewildering effort to recover, from amid the encumbrances of the modern city, some coherent image, or series of images, of old Rome in the successive stages of its development.

The City of the Seven Hills by Caroline Hirst Harding Pdf

Excerpt from The City of the Seven Hills: A Book of Stories From the History of Ancient Rome In this volume, the attempt has been made to give a picture of the life and history of the Roman peo ple. So far as it has been feasible, this has been done by means of biographical sketches, selected so as to be illustrative of the Roman character, its virtues and its faults. In this way, it has also been possible to weave into the narrative a more vivid description of the daily life and customs of the men, women and children of Rome, than would have been the case under any other method of treatment. In the last chapter, an attempt is made to relate the old Rome to modern life through a description of some existing remains, and to point out in a few words the way in which the ancient city was merged in the Rome of to-day. In a work designed for young children, as is this one, it seems desirable that the brutal element of Roman character and history should be eliminated so far as is possible; and to this end, much has been omitted from the narrative which might properly find a place in a history of Rome for High School use.

The Religion of Ancient Rome (Classic Reprint) by Cyril Bailey Pdf

Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Rome The conditions of our knowledge of the native religion of early Rome may perhaps be best illus trated by a parallel from Roman archaeology. The visitor to the Roman Forum at the present day, if he wishes to reconstruct in imagination the Forum of the early Republic, must not merely 'think away' many strata of later buildings, but, we are told, must picture to himself a totally different orientation of the whole: the upper layer of remains, which he sees before him, is for his purpose in most cases not merely useless, but positively misleading. In the same way, if we Wish to form a picture of the genuine Roman religion, we cannot find it immediately in classical literature; we must banish from our minds all that is due to the contact with the East and Egypt, and even with the other races Of Italy.

Ancient Rome in 1885 (Classic Reprint) by JOHN HENRY. MIDDLETON Pdf

Excerpt from Ancient Rome in 1885 Great as must always be the value of documentary evidence, such as that which is supplied by inscriptions, coins, and the long list of classical writers mentioned below, yet it is of quite equal importance for the student to learn to read the story told by each building itself - a record by no means clear, and which requires long and careful study of what may at first sight appear to be matters of small moment. It is not only the general design of a building, the contours of its mouldings, or the style Of its sculpture, which supplies valuable evidence as to its history, but no less important help is often to be gained by the minute examination of such purely constructional points as the composition of the concrete, the form of the wood centering shown by its imprints on the vaults, and countless other technical.
