The Republican Aventine and Rome’s Social Order by Lisa Marie Mignone
Reviewed by: The Republican Aventine and Rome’s Social Order by Lisa Marie Mignone Gary Forsythe Lisa Marie Mignone. The Republican Aventine and Rome’s Social Order. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2016. Pp. xv, 243. $70.00. ISBN 978-0-472-11988-2. In the introduction (1–16) the author sets up the straw man that she pulverizes in the following five chapters: Alfred Merlin’s L’Aventin dans l’antiquité (Paris 1906), in which he maintained …
Trevor S. Luke. Ushering in a New Republic
This book is well researched and well documented, but it selectively covers ancient Rome’s Late Republic and Augustan Principate. By examining a series of prominent persons’ departures from and returns to the city of Rome, the author argues that these dynasts drew upon a rich and varied body of political, religious, and historical traditions, ceremonies, and associations in order to construct self-representations designed to promote themselves an…
Struggle of the Orders
Modern scholars use this term to characterize a common theme in ancient accounts of early Roman history that describe affairs as driven by a struggle between the two orders or classes: patricians and plebeians. Hereby ancient writers explain virtually all innovations in the Roman state during the Early Republic (sixth to third century). The narrative of the Struggle of the Orders was clearly influenced by the history of the Late Republic, involvi…
Plebeians
Plebeians and patricians were the two groupings or orders (Latin ordines ) into which Romans were divided during republican times.
Pontifical Chronicle
Pontifical Chronicle is a term used by modern scholars to describe an archive of basic factual material concerning the Roman state, compiled from early times onward by the chief priest ( pontifex maximus ), who headed the Roman state religion.
Calpurnius Piso Frugi, Lucius
Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, Roman politician and historian, was born ca.180 BCE . As plebeian tribune in 149, he secured the passing of a law that established a permanent procedure by which Roman officials could be sued for misappropriating money or valuables from people under Roman rule.
Annalists, Roman
“Annalists” is a term applied by modern scholars collectively to Livy's predecessors: the twenty or so Romans who flourished ca. 230–30 BCE and wrote histories of Rome. None of these works survived beyond antiquity, except in fragments–that is, direct quotations or paraphrases of portions of these works made by ancient writers whose writings have survived.
Annales Maximi
Modern scholars have generally construed Cicero's remarks at De oratore 2.52–3 to mean that, while Publius Mucius Scaevola was pontifex maximus (130–115 BCE ), all the material accumulated in the pontiffs' archive since early times was reworked and consolidated into the Annales maximi , which, according to, comprised eighty books (the relevant passages of Cicero and Servius are both quoted in the entry pontifical chronicle ).
Cassius Hemina, Lucius
Lucius Cassius Hemina was a Roman historian who flourished during the third quarter of the second century BCE .
Ancus Marcius
Ancus Marcius was the fourth of early Rome's seven kings. His reign receives the least space in our two principal ancient accounts: Livy (1.32–4) and Dionysius of Halicarnassus ( Ant. Rom . 3.36–45), indicating that later Romans could find little, if anything, to assign to him.
Claudius Quadrigarius, Quintus
Quintus Claudius Quadrigarius, author of a Roman history in Latin, flourished during the first quarter of the first century BCE .
Cassius Vecellinus, Spurius
Spurius Cassius Vecellinus was consul three times (502, 493, and 486 BCE ), first of the three demagogues of the Early Roman Republic, and the only Cassius attested for that period.
Gellius, Gnaeus
Gnaeus Gellius, author of a Roman history in Latin, flourished during the late second and early first centuries BCE and wrote the first lengthy history of Rome from the earliest times to his own day.
Patricians
Patricians and plebeians were the two groupings or orders (Latin ordines ) into which Roman citizens were divided during republican times.
Time in Roman Religion
Religion is a major subfield of ancient history and classical studies, and Roman religion in particular is usually studied today by experts in two rather distinct halves: the religion of the Roman Republic, covering the fifth through first centuries B.C.; and the religious diversity of the Roman Empire, spanning the first four centuries of our era. In Time in Roman Religion, author Gary Forsythe examines both the religious history of the Republic…
Claudius Quadrigarius and Livy's Second Pentad
From the vast number of historical works written by ancient Greeks and Romans, we now possess only a tiny handful of complete texts, but we do have varying amounts of information concerning lost historical accounts. Their fragments (i.e., quotations or paraphrases of portions of these works preserved in other extant ancient writings) have been carefully collected by modern scholars. Hermann Peter, for example, brought together all the fragments f…
A Critical History of Early RomeFrom Prehistory to the First Punic War
During the period from Rome's Stone Age beginnings on the Tiber River to its conquest of the Italian peninsula in 264 B.C., the Romans in large measure developed the social, political, and military structure that would be the foundation of their spectacular imperial success. This account draws from historical, archaeological, linguistic, epigraphic, religious, and legal evidence to trace Rome's early development within a multicultural environment…
Culture and National Identity in Republican Rome
Some Notes on the History of Cassius Hemina
WITH SOME FEW EXCEPTIONS, modern scholars have paid relatively little attention to the historical fragments of Cassius Hemina. Since there are only 40 fragments from his writing, and his history seems to have been virtually unknown in later times, modern scholarly neglect might appear to be well placed; but since he was one of the first Romans who undertook to write a substantial work in Latin prose, his writing should be viewed as having at leas…
