Sayfa 44 - ... thus carried away by them under their togas. This stupid story was generally adopted, and that a cause for so horrible a deed might not be wanting, it was related that in his latter years Romulus had become a tyrant, and that the senators took revenge by murdering him. After the death of Romulus, the Romans and the people of Tatius quarrelled for a long time with each other, the Sabines wishing that one of their nation should be raised to the throne, while the Romans claimed that the new king...
Sayfa lvi - I have been censured for wishing to find fault with him; but assuredly no one feels that respect, esteem, and gratitude towards him which I feel. The more I search, the greater are the treasures I find in him. In former times it was the general belief, that whatever Dionysius had more than Livy were mere fancies of his own ; but with the exception of his speeches there is absolutely nothing that can be called invented : he only worked up those materials which were transmitted to him by other authorities....
Sayfa 52 - Hesiod the age of heroes is followed by the iron age; there is evidently a change, and an entirely new order of things is conceived to have arisen. Up to this point we have had nothing except poetry, but with Tullus Hostilius a kind of history begins, that is, events are related which must be taken in general as historical, though in the light in which they are presented to us they are not historical. Thus, for example, the destruction of Alba is historical, and so in all probability is the reception...
Sayfa xcv - Rome is generally acknowledged, and will probably never be disputed. There may be persons who, in regard to ancient history in general, entertain fanciful opinions and underrate its value; but they will never deny the importance of Roman history. For many sciences it is indispensable as an introduction or a preparation. As long as the Roman law retains the dignified position which it now occupies, so long Roman history cannot lose its importance for the student of the law in general. A knowledge...
Sayfa 89 - Gentiles sunt, qui inter se eodem nomine sunt. Non est satis. Qui ab ingenuis oriundi sunt. Ne id quidem satis est. Quorum majorum nemo servitutem servivit.
Sayfa lxxvi - He must have been about seventy years old when he attained his second consulship, and he probably lived to the age of nearly eighty. Being a statesman, he paid attention to many things which his predecessors had been unconcerned about. He must have been a perfect master of the Latin language ; for he resided at Rome as a senator during a period of from thirty to forty years. He felt an interest in, and made himself thoroughly acquainted with, the political history of Rome, a thing which no rhetorician...
Sayfa lv - ... hence his judgment is deficient, though not absolutely bad, for he was an extremely intelligent man. His language is very good, and with a few exceptions it may be called perfectly pure. But what may be brought against him as a proof of his bad taste are his speeches, in which he imitated Thucydides in such a manner, that he made his heroes speak as if all of them were Athenians, and thus causes them to lose all their individuality of character.
Sayfa 67 - ... conducted it into the Tiber, and thus changed the lake into solid ground; but as the Tiber itself had a marshy bank, a large wall was built as an embankment, the greater part of which still exists. This structure equalling the pyramids in extent and massiveness, far surpasses them in the difficulty of its execution. It is so gigantic, that the more one examines it, the more inconceivable it becomes how even a large and powerful state could have executed it. In comparison with it, the aqueducts...
Sayfa x - They may be used as an introduction to, or as a running commentary on, Niebuhr's great work. . . . Even those who by a careful study have acquired a thorough familiarity with the three volumes of the Roman History, will find in these Lectures much that is new and striking.
Sayfa xxii - Blind8, consisting of moral sentiments, of which I have discovered some fragments, and which is of far more ancient date than the beginning of what we now call Roman literature. Cicero despised the ancient literature of his country, and knew it only from hear-say.
