Caesar's Depiction of the Senate in Early January 49 BCE (BCIV. 1.1–5)
Recent scholarship on Julius Caesar's commentarii has attempted to move beyond earlier focus on their tendentiousness, in favour of viewing Caesar as a literary artist. Although recognising the value of this approach, this article argues in favour of blending it with the prior emphasis on Caesarian Tendenz. It stresses that highlighting Caesar's literary artistry as an antidote to viewing the commentarii strictly as propaganda can lead scholars t…

ISBN: 9781788311540 (hbk).At the start of his celebrated book The Liberal Imagination, the literary and social critic Lionel Trilling announced that ‘liberalism is not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition’ in the United States. According to Trilling, ‘the conservative i…
The “ AJP Today” Controversy Revisited
The autumn 1987 issue of the American Journal of Philology contained a controversial editorial manifesto called “ AJP Today.” Written by Georg Luck, the editor of the journal, “ AJP Today” gave rise to numerous objections, which culminated in an open session to discuss the statement at the 1987 annual meeting of the American Philological Association. Prior accounts of this episode have interpreted it in ideological terms and led classical scholar…
Rethinking the Other in Antiquity. By Erich S. Gruen
Speeches of Enemies and Criticism of Empire in Early Imperial Historiography
This chapter offers a cursory examination of a few enemy orations found in the work of early imperial historians of Rome. It will be of necessity brief and highly selective. Lacking lengthy discussions focused on imperialism in their works, we must often turn to ancient historians' briefer comments on expansion, such as Arrian's mention of the purported Indian aversion to foreign wars, which serves as the epigraph to this chapter. Greco-Roman aut…
Cassius Dio’s Agrippa-Maecenas Debate
This article discusses Cassius Dio’s political thought in his Agrippa-Maecenas debate (52.2–40) through the use of a form of content analysis developed by political scientists called “operational code analysis.” It offers a description of operational code analysis, which demonstrates the value of this method to the debate. It then presents an examination of Dio’s operational code, from which one can glean his philosophical and instrumental views …
Valorizing the Barbarians
With the growth of postcolonial theory in recent decades, scholarly views of Roman imperialism and colonialism have been evolving and shifting. Much recent discussion of the topic has centered on the ways in which ancient Roman historians consciously or unconsciously denigrated non-Romans. Similarly, contemporary scholars have downplayed Roman elite anxiety about their empire's expansion. In this groundbreaking new work, Eric Adler explores the d…
Late Victorian and Edwardian Views of Rome and the Nature of “Defensive Imperialism”
Boudica's Speeches in Tacitus and Dio 1
Some recent scholarship has argued that ancient Roman historians inevitably cast foreigners as inferior and thereby justified Roman imperialism and colonialism. This paper questions this position's validity through an examination of the Boudica orations in Tacitus ( Ann. 14.35.1-2) and Cassius Dio (62.3-6). It argues that both authors present complex portrayals of Boudica and seem at least partially capable of valorizing her complaints against Ro…
Who’s Anti-Roman? Sallust and Pompeius Trogus on Mithridates
The dynamics of the neuronic model described by the one-dimensional delay functional differential equation are studied in this paper. We give a strict and detailed analysis of dynamical characteristic of this model by the Lyapunov functional approach and Hopf bifurcation proposition. Furthermore, numerical simulations, as well as Lyapunov exponents, are presented to support our conjectures about the appearance of complex dynamics such as chaos. W…
