Roman History An Introduction

Why learn Roman history? “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana Informs non-fiction reading in Latin Allows us to understand terms and customs with no parallel in English Helps us with proper nouns

Roman History Sub-Groups Bulk of pre-Medieval study is “BC” Three divisions: kingdom, republic, empire Memorize these dates. Much of our traditions as well as the best of Latin literature come from the late Republic and early Empire Period Begins Circa Kingdom 753 BC Republic 509 BC Empire 27 BC

How do we know about Roman history? Conclusion Artifacts Literature Later Texts Referring Back Inscriptions and Art Comparison Ancient history is tricky – the record is not often cohesive and is sometimes non-existent A combination of sources allows scholars to make hypotheses Much of what we learn is agreed upon by scholars as fact, but some is debatable (I will let you know)

Did the Romans Record their own History? Yes: And did it on the spot! Kind of: And did it speciously… Some famous Romans wrote their own memoirs. This includes Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Marcus Aurelius. Rome had quite a few famous historians who did an okay job of recording facts, but liked to add traditional legends and gossip to their histories, too. This includes Livy, Tacitus, and Suetonius.

Roman Self-Image Romans had a high-falutin’ notion of their own origins In actuality, they were a hybrid culture of native Etruscans, Latins, Greek colonists, and other Italian groups who may have flourished just because of their location near the Tiber River Also viewed themselves as geo-political masters Inventors of the Republic and capable of holding together a vast empire, this opinion was well-founded

Review Questions Why should we study Roman history? What are the five components of our knowledge about ancient history? What were the three periods of Roman history? Who wrote contemporaneous Roman history? What people groups contributed to the development of the Roman race? Beside what river was Rome settled? Of what goddess could the Romans claim to be descendants? Review Questions
