Book Synopsis Gens Artoria by : Alessandro Faggiani
Download or read book Gens Artoria written by Alessandro Faggiani. This book was released on 2024-05-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work proposes to fully and comprehensively describe the members of the gens romana who were closely associated with the Roman emperors, some of whom were their descendants. It was a prestigious family of ancient Rome belonging mainly to the equestrian rank. In the later years of the Empire some of them joined the senatorial rank, others were philosophers and grammarians. Over the years many origins have been proposed on the name Artorius. Some scholars have proposed a Celtic or Etruscan origin but, in this article, a Calabrian (i.e. Messapian) origin will be considered. Analyzing epigraphic sources and many books, some 230 members of the family have been found to have lived from the 4th or 3rd century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. The most famous was Lucius Artorius Castus and was close to the emperors Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, and Septimius Severus.

Book Synopsis Soldier of Rome by : James Mace
Download or read book Soldier of Rome written by James Mace. This book was released on 2008-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been three years since the wars against Arminius and the Cherusci. Gaius Silius, Legate of the Twentieth Legion, is concerned that the barbarians-though shattered by the war-may be stirring once again. He also seeks to confirm the rumors regarding Arminius' death. What Silius does not realize is that there is a new threat to the Empire, but it does not come from beyond the frontier; it is coming from within, where a disenchanted nobleman looks to sow the seeds of rebellion in Gaul. Legionary Artorius has greatly matured during his five years in the legions. He has become stronger in mind; his body growing even more powerful. Like the rest of the Legion, he is unaware of the shadow growing well within the Empire's borders, where a disaffected nobleman seeks to betray the Emperor Tiberius. A shadow looms; one that looks to envelope the province of Gaul as well as the Rhine legions. The year is A.D. 20.
