Roman History and Culture CD: Roman History and Culture CD |
| Product Description : This CD holds the promise of several hours of profitable examination for all those who may be perusing the history of Rome from its origin to the time when papal supremacy held sway. The in-depth stores of information on the culture, lifestyle, political interplay, legends and heroes found in this CD are truly mind-boggling. Professor Thomas Arnold?s three-volume treatise on the early history of Rome is one of the most complete accounts of Rome?s emergence as one of the most powerful and long-lasting nations in history. The account covers the culture, cities, legends and kings in an enthralling manner. Reverend Buttler? account of Rome?s social, political and religious life is equally detailed and insightful. His presentation of the Papal origin of the temporal power, administration of Justice in Rome and the account of how Locatelli was executed on the flimsiest of grounds will find few parallels. He paints a rather gloomy picture of Rome, which according to him was characterized by "baseless suspicious, quick vengeance, secret arrests, loathsome prisons, slow justice, fanaticism, persecution, secret and arbitrary power, distrust and fear." His concluding paragraph, however, puts the colorful history of Rome into perspective. To quote, "But, Romans prefer suffering in Rome to enjoyment away from it. It is to them the one and only place in the wide world. |
