The Roman Senate and the People: a History of Ancient Rome

I

331K04

As a country that has experienced three political systems: monarchy, republic, and empire and has continued to exist for more than a thousand years, the history of ancient Rome has always attracted people's thinking and research. This book is a brand-new history of Rome written by a world-class classicist who has accumulated more than 50 years of work. The author chooses the "Senate and People of Rome" (SPQR), the political hub of Rome, as the starting point. He cleverly and profoundly begins with the incident of Cicero versus Catiline in 63 BC, and passionately tells the story of Rome to readers. The book not only explores how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to an empire spanning three continents, but also reveals how the Romans viewed themselves and their achievements. Throughout, the author describes various stages of Roman history from both an external and internal perspective. At the same time, the book is also permeated with strong realistic concerns. When the author discusses Rome's military expansion, democracy, immigration, religious conflicts, social mobility, citizenship, exploitation and other issues, we will always see the shadow of today's world, and thus understand why ancient Rome is still important to us. The book has a grand framework but is full of vivid details. Although it makes extensive use of the latest achievements in archaeology, numismatics, and inscriptions, it rarely uses professional terminology. The author tells the "other side" of many stories in a plain and humorous way, challenging traditional views and presenting readers with a vivid and charming Rome that still has many unsolved mysteries.

Frontiers of Civilization: from Ancient Times to Modern Times

Zhang Guogang

168K0

From ancient times to the 18th century, particularly grand exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations took place along the Silk Road that traversed Asia and Europe. The opening up of the Silk Road began with the mutual attraction between civilizations. The fundamental driving force behind its ability to last for thousands of years lies in mankind's shared desire for wealth and yearning for a beautiful civilization. "Frontiers of Civilization: From Ancient Times to Modern Times" is a new interpretation of Silk Road civilization. The book examines the civilizational exchanges of various Eurasian peoples on the Silk Road from a large-scale, long-term, and historical perspective, and divides this three-thousand-year history into four grand chapters: from the prehistoric Silk Road to the hollowing out, the ancient East and the West met for the first time; the gods entered China during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the four major civilization systems The convergence of borders in the Western Regions began to form a diverse trade and cultural exchange network; during the Song and Ming Dynasties, spices came from the east, porcelain went to the west, and Chinese products reached Central Asia and as far away as Europe via the Maritime Silk Road; in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, missionaries came from the east, kicking off the mutual learning of civilizations between China and Europe from imagining foreign countries to the East-West debate. At this point, the Silk Road finally closely connected the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, that is, the civilized world before modern times.

The book explains the different conditions for the formation of nations and nation-states in Eastern Europe and Western Europe respectively, and analyzes the various reasons for their cohesiveness and centrifugal force. This can provide some reference for my country's ethnic work.

From June 1944 to March 1945, the United States used the most advanced B-29 heavy bombers at the time to launch from the Kolkata base in India and the forward airfield near Chengdu, China, to carry out long-range strategic bombing operations against Kyushu in southern Japan and the Japanese-occupied areas of Anshan and Taiwan in China. This was the "Operation Matterhorn Plan". When the plan was being planned, it was opposed by some U. S. Military figures and even some high-level national policymakers due to its "poor" expected results and high economic and political costs. However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff headed by Roosevelt insisted on implementing it despite all objections. This book narrates the historical process of the Matterhorn Project, paying particular attention to its relationship with other historical events and its impact. In efforts to "restore" historical narratives, various questions are raised and answers are sought.

The real world has its various problems, and it inevitably has its various ills; therefore, the real world must always have good and bad, good and evil mixed and intertwined with each other.

The French Revolution that broke out in 1789 was an epoch-making event in world history. It is quite similar to the October Revolution in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, which forced almost every intellectual at that time to stand in front of it and express their attitude. The next year, Burke's influential figures in his later years all stood in front of it to express their attitudes.

The two works he handed down are: "Conspiracy of Catiline" (also translated as "Catiline's Rebellion"), which describes how the Roman noble Catiline took advantage of the dissatisfaction in the society at that time to launch a rebellion and finally died in battle. "Jugurthine War" describes how Rome sent troops to the Kingdom of Numidia in the late 2nd century BC, and its king Jugurtha led his army to resist and was ultimately defeated.
