The Roman Empire and the Crisis of the Third Century, c. 270 CE. A map illustrating the state of affairs in the lands of the Roman Empire following the violent death of Emperor Severus Alexander in 235 CE during a period known as the Crisis of the Third Century, as multiple pretenders staked a claim to the imperial throne (in 50 years, fifty-one individuals received the title of the Roman Emperor predominantly through military coups and most of them never reached Rome). The time of the "Crisis" was the most disruptive in Roman history as the Empire struggled not only with issues of succession, devaluation of the currency, and an inflationary economy but also with existential threats from breakaway states (the Gallic and the Palmyrene empires), the Persian Sassanid monarchy and countless barbarian invasions across the imperial frontier. On top of these, there was also the "Plague of Cyprian" (most probably smallpox or pandemic influenza, named after a chronicle by the Bishop of Carthage) which caused significant shortages of manpower for the army and the production of food. The crisis gradually came to an end as the Empire was stabilized through the military success of Aurelian (c. 270 CE) and the implementation of wide-ranging reform by Diocletian in 284 CE. map by 🐒 simeon.netchev published @whencyclopedia

H is for... HADRIAN 🏛️ Join us as we uncover Hadrian’s legacy of strategy and renaissance, in our captivating odyssey of #DubiniFromAtoZ Roman emperor from A.D. 117 to A.D. 138, Hadrian’s legacy is one of strategic reform and cultural elevation. As one of Rome’s “Five Good Emperors,” he shifted focus from expansion to defence, epitomised by the construction of Hadrian’s Wall in Britain. His extensive travels and grand building projects improved infrastructure across the Empire. A lover of Greek culture, he elevated Athens and adorned it with majestic temples. With a strong military presence, he ordered strategic readiness and military training to be more rigorous, quelling revolts like Bar Kokhba’s in Judaea, consequently renaming the province Syria Palaestina. Hadrian’s rule reshaped the Empire, leaving a mark of strategic prowess and cultural refinement. 🏛️ #DubiniInspiration #Hadrian #RomanEmperor

La riforma religiosa di Giuliano Augusto: “il clero pagano” Tra le riforme di Giuliano Augusto a cui non si presta abbastanza attenzione, fu proprio quella atta a irrobustire la gerarchia religiosa dei culti pagani dell’Impero. Dopo l’ascesa di Costantino, il clero cristiano aveva accumulato tutta una serie di privilegi che avevano contribuito a dividere la società dell’Impero tra una casta sempre più ricca e una popolazione ridotta in miseria. Giuliano, invece, si adoperò per far ritornare i culti politeistici in auge a danno del cristianesimo. Tra i punti fondamentali di questa riforma i sacerdoti pagani dovevano preoccuparsi di perseguire la filantropia verso i deboli e i poveri. A tal proposito, non è affatto vero che la riforma di Giuliano fu volta a creare un “clero pagano”, ma anzi fu il cristianesimo a imitare le strutture sacerdotali pagane e le sue qualità. L’assistenza verso le fasce più deboli della popolazione fu prerogativa di diverse personalità della Roma pagana, sfatando così il mito di una certa storiografia che vuole i cristiani come gli unici difensori degli ultimi. Tarquinio Prisco venne per esempio scelto da Anco Marzio come suo consigliere proprio in virtù della sua grande generosità nei confronti della popolazione e nella Roma di Gallieno il ricco senatore Rogaziano, allievo di Plotino, aveva donato tutti i suoi beni e rinunciato perfino al suo rango. Ciò valse da parte di Plotino la stima e il rispetto nei confronti dell’ex senatore, e lo proponeva come esempio per chiunque volesse diventare un filosofo. Giuliano era ben consapevole di quali fossero i valori spirituali degli antichi. Un requisito indispensabile per i sacerdoti pagani doveva essere l’amore per gli Dèi uniti a quello per i propri simili. Valori che dovevano diventare il fulcro su cui sarebbe dovuto rinascere l’Impero dopo gli sperperi, le ipocrisie e le eccessive ricchezze del clero cristiano.

🇮🇹 TESTA DI COSTANTINO Nel 2005, durante gli scavi nell’area del Foro di Traiano, è stata rinvenuta, all’interno di un antico condotto fognario, una testa dell’imperatore Costantino. La testa è stata scolpita rilavorando i tratti di un precedente ritratto non più identificabile: dell’immagine più antica si conservano un’evidente stempiatura e tracce di un diadema, successivamente eliminato, che la qualificano come appartenente ad un personaggio di rango imperiale. 🇬🇧 CONSTANTINE'S HEAD This sculpted head of the Emperor Constantine was discovered in 2005 during excavations not far from the most southern area of Trajan's Market, inside an ancient sewage pipe. The head had been sculpted out of an earlier piece which is no longer identifiable, as the only part of the original head that is just about recognizable, despite having been re-worked, is what is obviously a receding hairline and traces of a diadem, proving that the head portrayed someone of Imperial rank. #costantino #romeguides #passeggiatedomenicali #romeguidestours #museodeiforiimperiali #romanemperors #mercatiditraiano #sculptures #romanhistory #travel #traveladdict #instaart #travelphotography #curiosità #cityviews #visiteguidate #art #romamia #takeawalk #quantoseibellaroma #iloverome #visitroma #instarome #caputmundi #byfoot #likealocal #romacapitale #guidedtours #rome #romabella

Che cos’è Roma? Una domanda che attraversa i secoli e che, come un fiume carsico, non ha mai smesso di attirare a sé tutti coloro i quali hanno sempre sentito un forte senso di appartenenza al suo Fuoco. Nella pellicola cinematografica del 1960 “Spartacus”, diretta da Kubrick, viene detto che “Roma è l’eterna idea della mente divina”. E tali parole non potevano essere più veritiere. Il Divo Giuliano Augusto scriveva nell’Inno a Helios Re, come Apollo abbia abitato sul Palatino prima della fondazione stessa dell’Urbe da parte del Primo Re. Non poteva esserci un altro Nume se non Apollo a dare il via a quel principio di ordine e di stabilità che avrebbe guidato il mondo per secoli. Se ancora oggi siamo qui per ricordare il giorno i cui Padre Romolo tracciò il limite sacro della Città, vuol dire esiste una continuità con i nostri Avi che né il fanatismo religioso né il materialismo sfrenato della nostra epoca ha saputo interrompere. Una città nata dal sangue di un principe, ucciso dal suo stesso fratello. Un sacrificio doloroso ma necessario per far assurgere la Città degli Uomini e degli Dèi. Due principi eredi al trono della potente Alba Longa, discendenti di un popolo in fuga e predecessori dei Cesari che hanno dominato le razze del mondo e posto l’intero Ecumene sotto i loro mantello. “Ascoltami, Regina bellissima del mondo ormai tuo, o Roma, assunta tra gli astri dei Cieli, ascoltami, madre degli uomini, madre degli Dèi[…] Te cantiamo e sempre canteremo, finché i Fati vorranno: nessuno finché vive può dimenticarti.” -Inno a Roma, di Rutilio Namaziano, vv. 47-53. Grazie di cuore a @giuseppebarberaarcheologo e a alle fantastiche persone della Associazione Tradizionale Pietas per questo stupendo Natale di Roma.

One of Cancelleria Reliefs shows Vespasian’s adventus, a victorious return to Rome in 70 AD, after the Civil War of 68-69 AD (remember the Year of Four Emperors?). Vespasian is greeted by his son Domitian (who obviously took some time off from torturing flies). Behind Domitian is the bearded and mature Genius Senatus and the youthful Genius Populi Romani, holding a cornucopia. On the far left of the panel, Roma is seating on a throne, holding a spear. On her left there is a vestal attendant, on her right – Vestal Virgins. Vestals are followed by a group of lictors. Discovered in 1937-1939 under the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. Panel has dowel holes and originally must have been attached to a building. #romanhistory #cancelleriareliefs #vespasiano #domitian #romanart #romanemperors #romansculpture #museivaticani🇮🇹 #rome #roma #emperorsofrome #adventus

🇮🇹 ACCADDE OGGI A ROMA Il 16 Aprile del 69 d.C. muore suicida l'imperatore Marco Salvio Otone, nel cosiddetto "anno dei quattro imperatori". Nel 68 aiuta Galba a rovesciare Nerone e a prendere il potere imperiale, ma quando vede le sue speranze di essere designato erede andare in fumo, si rivolta contro Galba e prende lui stesso il potere. Dopo pochi mesi di tranquillità, però, iniziauna guerra con il ribelle Vitellio, che scende in Italia dalla Germania e sconfigge gli eserciti di Otone, che si suicida trafiggendosi il fianco con un pugnale. 🇬🇧 ON THIS DAY IN ROME On April 16th 69 AD the Roman emperor Otho commits suicide after only three months of reign. Inheriting the problem of the rebellion of Vitellius, commander of the army in Germania Inferior, Otho decides to lead a sizeable force meeting Vitellius' army at the Battle of Bedriacum. With more than 40,000 casualties and the rest of his army retreating, Otho prefers to kill himself before Vitellius is proclaimed emperor. #otone #romeguides #passeggiatedomenicali #romeguidestours #romanemperors #imperatoriromani #romanempire #imperoromano #romanhistory #travel #traveladdict #instaart #travelphotography #curiosità #cityviews #visiteguidate #ancienthistory #romamia #takeawalk #quantoseibellaroma #iloverome #visitroma #instarome #caputmundi #byfoot #likealocal #romacapitale #guidedtours #rome #romabella

La Pietas di un Romano Se tra gli eroi della seconda guerra punica possiamo sicuramente ricordare Scipione l’Africano, tra i condottieri che contribuirono a dare il loro aiuto alla Res Publica non possiamo non citare Fabio Massimo detto il temporeggiatore. Fabio Massimo era di una gens illustre, che secondo quanto riporta Plutarco, discendeva direttamente da Hercules. Sebbene Fabio Massimo non venga ricordato per le sue imprese in guerra come Scipione o Claudio Marcello, egli seppe affrontare i Cartaginesi grazie alla sua Pietas. Quando Flaminio Nepote venne sconfitto al Trasimeno perché aveva negletto gli auspici, si era creato uno squilibrio nella pax deorum che, per l’appunto, assicurava la sopravvivenza stessa di Roma. Fabio Massimo era consapevole che occorresse reagire e per questo ordinò la lettura dei libri sibillini da parte dei decemviri. I “fatales libri” dicevano ai Romani di rinnovare dei voti fatti agli Dèi e di consacrare due aedes in onore della Venere “siciliana”, la Venere Erycina, e alla dea Mens. Quest’ultima divinità di origine non chiara, se italica o greca, si adattava particolarmente alla strategia del “temporeggiatore”. La Dea Mens era preposta non a caso al ragionamento chiaro, preciso e pragmatico. Mens imponeva di scegliere con cura il momento in cui affrontare Annibale o meno e questa sua funzione si ritrova connessa anche a Jupiter Stator che, ai tempi di Romolo, aveva impedito ai Romani di retrocedere di fronte ai Sabini.

"Stepping back in time to the grandeur of Ancient Rome, where every stone tells a story of power, innovation, and enduring legacy." Ancient Rome, founded in the 8th century BCE, began as a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River in present-day Italy. Over the centuries, it grew into one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in history. Rome's rise to prominence was marked by conquests, expansion, and the establishment of a republic in 509 BCE. #AncientRome #TimelessWonders #HistoryUnveiled #RomanEmpire #RomanHistory #RomanArchitecture #RomanCulture #RomanArt #RomanRuins #RomanSites #RomanLegacy #HistoryBuff #RomanRepublic #RomanEmperors #RomanForum #Colosseum #Pantheon #RomanEngineering #RomanMythology #RomanLiterature #RomanLife #VisitRome

Happy birthday to Theodosius II born #OTD 10 April AD401. Known as #Theodosius the Younger he was proclaimed co-Augustus as an infant in AD402 and was sole emperor from AD408 after the death of his father, Arcadius.

Il massacro dei Carpi Nell’estate del 296 d.C. Diocleziano marciò lungo il Danubio, dove la popolazione dei Carpi cercava asilo all’interno dei confini dell’Imperium. I Carpi erano stati scacciati dalle loro terre dalla confederazione dei Goti e presi dalla disperazione avevano abbandonato le loro case spostandosi sempre più a sud e trascinando nella loro migrazione anche i Bastarni. Venuto a conoscenza dello sfondamento del limes, Diocleziano non perse tempo e si preparò ad arginare una possibile invasione che avrebbe potuto mettere a repentaglio la sicurezza delle province balcaniche. Una situazione che avrebbe in qualche modo trovato una certa somiglianza con la crisi gotica che dovette affrontare l’Imperatore Valente ottant’anni dopo. Diocleziano non ebbe pietà e si abbatté sul popolo dei Carpi e dei Bastarni in una brutale campagna. I sopravvissuti furono poi tratti in schiavitù e insediati in Pannonia dove si mischiarono con la popolazione locale. Tra coloro che sopravvissero viene ricordato da Ammiano Marcellino un bambino appartenente al popolo dei Carpi, che riuscì a farsi strada nella società romana per poi diventare anche archivista del governatore della provincia della Pannonia Valeria. Quel bambino ora cresciuto era il padre del futuro prefetto dell’Annona, Massimino. Divenuto un Romano, senza però aver dimenticato le sue origini, conservò anche una straordinaria abilità divinatoria tipica del suo popolo nel saper cogliere presagi divini nel canto degli uccelli. Predisse a suo figlio Massimino grande fortuna, ma una morte violenta. Massimino venne decapitato per ordine dell’Imperatore Graziano dopo aver percorso una brillante carriera politica intorno all’anno 376 d.C. Fonte: Umberto Roberto, Diocleziano.

My favourite Classicist: Dame Mary Beard, DBE, FSA, FBA, FRSL is an English classicist specialising in Ancient Rome. She is a trustee of the British Museum and formerly held a personal professorship of classics at the University of Cambridge. It was not hard to became enthralled, with Professor Beard’s lectures and debates on Classism, specifically studies of Rome, its empire, cultural contributions in literature, art and military. Professor Beard is not a stodgy academic. She speaks to a broad audience, in language that demystifies the classical world. A refreshing approach, that allows a 21st century audience to relate to Roman daily life. Well known for media appearances, Beard is in a unique position to helped to dispel the image of crusty, museum exhibits behind glass. Breathes life into the annals of ancient worlds, replacing the staid and stereotype, with the grime, the grit, of humanity at its most basic. Beard articulates in intimate detail: a nobleman’s life, a farmer in his fields, the Pompeii prostitute, to a gladiator battling in the arena. Rich textures, a daily grind of lives lived in militaristic violence - centuries under the eagles of Pax Romana. Mary Beard in the media. Professor Beard has presented Pompeii: Life and Death in a Roman Town, Meet the Romans with Mary Beard, and Caligula with Mary Beard on BBC Two, has contributed to BBC Radio 4's A Point of View, and has appeared on the BBC's Question Time. #MaryBeard #DameMaryBeard #ProfessorMaryBeard #ClassicalStudies #Cambridge #CambridgeUniversity #CambridgeClassicalStudies #BritishMuseum #MaryBeardEnglishClassicist #Rome #AncientGreeks #RomanEmperors #MaryBeardInMedia #MaryBeardMediaPresence

🌟 Exploring History: Gordian III 🌟 Meet Gordian III, the young emperor who ascended to power during the tumultuous times of the Roman Empire. Born in 225 AD, Gordian III became emperor at just 13 years old, making him one of the youngest rulers in Roman history. Despite his youth, Gordian III faced numerous challenges during his reign, including military conflicts and political unrest. 🏛️ Under Gordian III’s rule, the Roman Empire saw both triumphs and tribulations. He led campaigns against the Sassanid Empire in the east and faced off against Germanic tribes in the north. Despite his efforts, Gordian III’s reign was marked by internal strife and instability. ⚔️ Tragically, Gordian III’s reign was cut short when he died in battle against the Sassanids in 244 AD at the young age of 19. His death marked the end of the Gordian dynasty and ushered in a new era of uncertainty for the Roman Empire. 😔 As we delve into the fascinating life of Gordian III, let’s remember his contributions and the challenges he faced as a young leader in a world of upheaval. ✨ #GordianIII #RomanEmpire #Emperor #History #AncientRome #RomanHistory #SassanidEmpire #MilitaryHistory #Leadership #Legacy #YouthfulRuler #HistoricalFigures #RomanEmperors #GordianDynasty #HistoricalLegacy #RomanCulture #AncientCivilization #EmpireBuilding #YouthInLeadership #RomanMilitary #PoliticalHistory #DynasticStruggles #IntriguingHistory #EmperorGordianIII #RomanLeaders #HistoricalJourney
🏛️ Vespasian, 69-79 AD 🏛️ Silver denarius minted in Rome 77-78 AD; IMP-XIX reverse with three legged modius containing seven corn ears; obverse CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG with left facing laureate bust. I love the reverse of this coin! A modius was a Roman measure for dry goods, commonly grain. The equivalent measurement in modern terms is a peck, or quarter of a bushel. The depiction on this coin of a modius overflowing with ears of corn is effectively propaganda, showing the fertility of the empire under Vespasian and the bountiful produce available to feed the people. IMP-XIX stands for supreme commander (Imperator) for the 19th time. #MetalDetecting #MetalDetectingUK #MetalDetectingFind #MetalDetectingFinds #MetalDetectingFindUK #MetalDetectingFindsUK #Treasure #History #Roman #Coin #Coins #RomanHistory #RomanCoin #RomanCoins #Minelab #MinelabDetecting #MinelabEquinox #Equinox800 #Manticore #FindingHistory #Otho #RomanEmpire #Museum #BritishMuseum #Ancient #AncientHistory #Emperor #RomanEmperor #RomanEmperors #Rome

Herodian Tetrarchy in the Levant, c. 5 CE. A map illustrating the geopolitical situation in the Levant after Herod the Great's death (an ambitious ruler appointed as the King of Judea by the Roman Senate in 37 BCE ). The Herodian Tetrarchy, established by Herod the Great's will, divided the Levant into four distinct regions, each governed by one of his sons or relatives. This system aimed to maintain stability in the region following Herod's death. During the era of the Herodian Tetrarchy, the Roman Empire increased its territorial presence and influence within the Levant, marking a significant paradigm shift in regional power dynamics, ultimately resulting in the erosion of the Herodian dynasty and imposition of direct Roman rule. map by 🐒 simeon.netchev published @whencyclopedia
"👑 Constantine the Great, also known as Flavius Valerius Constantinus, was a significant figure in Roman history. Here are some important points about his life: 1. **Rise to Power**: Constantine was born in 272 AD in Naissus, located in modern-day Serbia. He rose to power through a series of military victories and political maneuvering. In 306 AD, he was proclaimed emperor by his troops after his father's death. 2. **Edict of Milan**: One of Constantine's most significant actions was the Edict of Milan in 313 AD. This edict granted religious tolerance to Christians within the Roman Empire, ending their persecution. 3. **Battle of the Milvian Bridge**: In 312 AD, Constantine famously saw a vision of a cross in the sky before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. He attributed his victory in this battle to the Christian God. This event is often cited as a key moment in his conversion to Christianity. 4. **Establishment of Constantinople**: Constantine founded the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in 330 AD. He envisioned it as a new capital for the Roman Empire, strategically located between the East and West. 5. **First Christian Roman Emperor**: Constantine's conversion to Christianity was a monumental shift in Roman history. He became the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity and played a crucial role in the growth of the religion within the empire. 6. **Council of Nicaea**: Constantine convened the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to address the theological disputes within Christianity. The council resulted in the Nicene Creed, which established the orthodox Christian doctrine. 7. **Military Campaigns**: Constantine was known for his military campaigns to reunify the Roman Empire under his rule. He successfully defeated his rivals and expanded the empire's borders during his reign. 8. **Legacy**: Constantine's influence on the Roman Empire and Christianity was significant. His policies towards Christians helped #ConstantineTheGreat #RomanEmperor #HistoricalFigure #ByzantineEmpire #RomanHistory #Christianity #EmperorConstantine #RomanEmpire #RomanEmperor #RomanEmperors #RomanEmperors #RomanLeaders #RomanEmpireHistory #AncientRome #Histor
