Tácito y los hombres de mérito bajo el reinado de Tiberio/Tacitus and the men of merit under the reign of Tiberius
Este trabajo busca analizar los personajes que Tácito destaca como dignos de mérito durante el nuevo sistema político del Principado y que reciben una alabanza o elogio por parte del historiador en la primera héxada de sus Anales. Se examinan también los factores que se constituyen como meritorios bajo el reinado de Tiberio y que reciben algún tipo de compensación política por parte del emperador
Libertas and Res Publica in the Roman Republic
Libertas and Res Publica in the Roman Republic offers some essential ideas for an understanding of Roman politics during the Republican period by analysing two key concepts: libertas (liberty) and res publica (public matter, republic). Exploring these concepts through a variety of different aspects – legal, religious, literary, political, and cultural – this book aims to explain the profound relationship between the two. Through the examination o…
Exemplary History
A great part of the perceived value of history in the ancient world was connected with its educational function. In one way or another, it was regarded as a beneficial guide to conduct or as magistra vitae (Cicero, De Oratore II, 36). To give political instruction and advice on the one hand (Polybius, I, 1, 2), and to provide exempla, were two major aims of history. This paper will argue that by narrating the history of the past, historians not o…
Virtus Romana
The political transformation that took place at the end of the Roman Republic was a particularly rich area for historical analysis. The crisis that saw the end of the Roman Republic and the changes which gave birth to a new political system were narrated by major Roman historians who took the Roman idea of virtus as a way of interpreting and understanding their history. Tracing how virtus informed Roman thought over time, the book explores the co…
Orosio
Este artículo trata sobre la obra historiográfica de Orosio, historiador cristiano, en el contexto de su época, a principios del siglo V d. C. Lo que se intenta mostrar es que Orosio escribe sus Historias de una manera profundamente ligada a la tradición grecorromana en cuanto a forma y contenido, pero totalmente revolucionaria en la interpretación. Al igual que los historiadores de la antigüedad, busca proporcionar un recuerdo de los hechos impo…
The Virtues of Tiberius in Velleius’ Histories
This article examines in the first place how Velleius’ Histories work as a hinge between the republican historiographical tradition and the new way of writing history under the rule of a princeps. I will argue that through the concept of virtue, especially shown in the emperor Tiberius, Velleius stresses the continuity of Roman history; virtus is the strand which works as the unifying link in the development of the succession from Republic to Emp…
Sallust
The Roman historian C. Sallustius Crispus, better known as Sallust, wrote about the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha. For Sallust, the Jugurthine War revealed the problems of the Republic at that time. The fact that a man such as Jugurtha could rise to power by buying Roman military and civil officials reflected a moral crisis in Roman politics. Sallust's account of the nobles' tactics in conducting the war, the rise of the homo novus , Mar…
