Bøger om Antikkens Rom

" ... Ainsi, en Toscane comme ailleurs, un antagonisme déjà très animé entre le pouvoir civil et la puissance ecclésiastique se manifestait de lui-même ; un ordre nouveau cherchait spontanément à se dégager de l'ordre ancien. Si les vues particulières des princes lorrains donnaient plus d'activité à cette fermentation, longtemps étouffée par les grands-ducs de la maison de Médicis, il y avait aussi une opinion indigène déjà formée, et qui soufflait dans le même sens. Les ministres de François ne manquaient pas d'ailleurs de rattacher leurs projets à une tradition déjà ancienne, quoique interrompue par les événements, à des actes qui remontaient aux plus beaux temps de la république. Ils rappelaient que, dès 1346, les magistrats s'étaient déjà fatigués de rencontrer trop souvent sur leur chemin une puissance indépendante de l'état, qui s'ingérait dans, les affaires purement civiles, et qu'ils avaient puni sévèrement les agents du saint office pour arrestation arbitraire. On avait même fait alors un règlement remarquable qui limitait les pouvoirs de l'inquisition, supprimait une partie de ses agents, fermait ses prisons, et, pour rendre ces dispositions statues, fondait un corps spécial et permanent de magistrats nommés les quatorze défenseurs de la liberté, chargés d'examiner tous les actes de juridiction émanés de la puissance ecclésiastique..."

Rom blev den 21. april 753 f.Kr. grundlagt i vold og har gennem kongetid, republik og kejsertid været skueplads for store voldsomheder.De første romerske kejseres historie under Augustus og Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius og slutteligNero er en fortælling, der er malet i såvel blod som guld, og som altid vil vække både imponeret undren og utrolig rædsel. Det må siges om disse kejsere, at skønt de ikke var guddommelige, har de gennem deres gerninger gjort sig udødelige.Naturligvis var samfundets struktur i Romerriget meget anderledes end i vore dage med slaver og manglende demokrati. Det store romerske samfund stillede rigdom og fattigdom overfor hinanden på en utiltalende måde.De første fem kejsere, der som efterfølgere til Julius Cæsar kom af den samme familie, evnede på hver sin måde at skabe en legende om sig selv og løftede derved såvel Julius Cæsars hus som det store Romerrige til en højere anseelse end den rent dødelige, skønt deres liv var både dramatisk og i mange henseender frastødende med kejsere, der i høj grad må betragtes som galninge og stakler.

A Swordmaiden's hand is not easily won Theseus, king of the Court of Knowledge, is desperate. With the barrier to the Realm of Monsters wearing thin and the chaos of Midsummer Night approaching, he needs to do something drastic to save his Court. If he doesn't secure warriors to protect his Court from the monsters, his people, the Great Library, and all the knowledge of the Fae Realm that it contains could be destroyed. That leaves him with the choice to either bargain with another Court and hope the price isn't too steep or face deadly trials to win the hand of Queen Hippolyta of the Court of Swordmaidens, a court of mysterious warrior women. Marriage seems like the better option, but the trials prove to be trickier than Theseus feared. Even worse, he finds himself drawn to Ariadne, the serving maid, instead of the cold-hearted Queen Hippolyta. Will he have to choose between his heart and saving his Court?
