  • The Sources for Early Roman History

    Open AccessR M Ogilvie, A DrummondCHAPTERThe Cambridge Ancient History…1990

    This chapter first deals with the main literary and archaeological sources for early Roman history. Then, it considers the type of material which was at the disposal of the historians of Rome for the regal period and the fifth century and how they used it. Roman historiography began at the end of the third century BC, but the earliest historical work was almost certainly the epic poem on the First Punic War written in the later third century by o…

    This volume of the second edition of the Cambridge Ancient History traces the history of Rome from its origins to the eve of the Second Punic War. Although the period covered is essentially the same as in the undivided Volume VII of the first edition, the treatment of the material is completely fresh and is much more extensive. Account is taken of new scholarly insights and of the considerable amount of new evidence, much of it archaeological, wh…

  • The Cambridge Ancient History: Rome and the Mediterranean to 133 BC

    Open AccessJohn B Bury, Alan K Bowman et al.BOOKThe Cambridge Ancient History…1989

    The Hellenistic world was a world well acquainted with literature and literary composition, and although in the third century it had had a number of distinguished historians of its own, there followed a long period, during which it produced little major historical writing apart from the work of Polybius. Polybius of Megalopolis was one of the thousand leading men of Achaea who were deported to Italy after the battle of Pydna in 168. Naturally his…

    Published in 1928, Volume VII of the Cambridge Ancient History orginally covered both the history of the Hellenistic world from the battle of Ipsus in 301 BC down to the Peace of Naupactus and the battle of Raphia in 217 BC and the history of Rome from its foundation down to the same date. In the new edition the Greek and Roman sections have been assigned to two separate volumes. Of these, VII part I opens after the death of Alexander, in 323 BC,…

  • Livy

    Open AccessR M OgilvieCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of…1982

    Internal evidence suggests that Livy began to write his History of Rome in or shortly before 29 BC by which time Octavian, the later Augustus, had restored peace and a measure of stability to the Roman world. Historical activity had flourished at Rome for 200 years before Livy and the project of writing the complete history of the state was not a new one. Livy was, indeed, acquainted with Augustus, who called him a Pompeian, which implied a conse…

    Julius Caesar's surviving output comprises seven books on the Gallic Wars and three on the Civil Wars. This chapter presents the literary background to the Commentaries on the Gallic Wars and on the Civil Wars. The publication of the Commentaries was timed to assert his claim on the gratitude of his fellow-countrymen and to display his dignitas, the Roman quality of achievement which merits recognition by high office. The Gallic Wars was a statem…

    R M OgilvieARTICLEPhoenix1967Cited by: 1

    ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE in the past to fix the dramatic date of Plutarch's dialogue, the De Defectu Oraculorum. Pomtow' argued that the only time when Demetrius' voyage could have been undertaken was during Agricola's enterprising governorship of Britain (A.D. 78-84) and therefore suggested that the dramatic date was the Pythia of A.D. 83. Bayet proposed a date twenty years earlier.2 More recent scholars have expressed doubts as to whether the da…
