先解释书名。SPQR是一个简称,Senātus Populusque Rōmānus,元老院与罗马人民。元老院和公民大会是罗马共和国最著名的政治结构,所以SPQR往往直接指代“罗马共和国”。 今天罗马的井盖上还写着SPQR,这成了罗马市的一个旅游特色。但今天井盖上的SPQR不代表“罗马共和国”,只代表“意大利的罗马市政府” 玛丽·比尔德的《...
Lucretia不从,Tarquinius威胁要杀了她和家奴并伪造她与家奴通奸的场景,Lucretia只好顺从。在她丈夫与父亲回家后,Lucretia讲述了发生的一切,并自裁身亡。这个事件直接导致古罗马君主政体的结束和建立罗马共和国之革命的开始,领导者之一Brutus在Lucretia葬礼上的演讲煽动了反对帝王制的情绪。一点题外话,后来刺杀恺撒的Brutus自称...

SPQR XII: Oracle of the Dead.A review is presented of the book "SPQR XII: Oracle of the Dead," by John Maddox Roberts.VicarelbranchJobranchAnnbranchLibrary Journal
不同于早先爱德华·吉本厚重沉郁的衰亡史或者盐野七生轻灵流畅的故事史,玛丽·比尔德给了我们另外一种看待罗马历史的角度。对《罗马元老院与人民》的感受很难用一言两语说清楚,所以只能择一些我觉得感兴趣的点来说:关于罗马建国期间对萨宾女子的掠夺。印象比较深的是书中运用了两幅彩图的对比,一幅是尼古拉·桑普在...
皇帝也不是严格的世袭,继任者由皇帝遴选,不一定有血缘关系,形式上还得经过元老院。元老院到底在干啥? 1、在前言中,作者说本书的主题是,罗马如何成长以及如此长久的维持了其地位,而不是研究它如何衰落和灭亡。罗马历史从传说中的罗马建城开始,历经王政时代、共和国时代到后面的帝国时代,作者把这本书的终点定在...
首先,我的英文不佳,不敢妄自評論其文筆如何,但還是能夠感覺,Beard的遣字用語都相當的“親民”(頗基礎的單字),而且常常帶點幽默,對母語讀者應該是那種老少咸宜的“通俗史學”。但她終就是專業史家,又不至於像一些作家那樣過於低俗到如巷子口說書不入流,程度拿捏的很好。其次,羅馬史實對歐美讀者來說,早就是耳熟...
