I think the most masterpiece of the movie set in ancient Rome is Spartacus directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Kirk Douglas. It is a masterpiece that is definitely in the top 100 in the history of world cinema even without the word Rome, and of course there are famous actors such as Laurence
Yamakawas textbooks and glossaries mention Mitridates Rebellion. Since Mitridates was not enslaved to Rome in the first place, it would be better to call it the Mitridates War. This time, lets take a look at the Mitridates War, in which the Greek and Roman worlds directly collided. Half-life of
When I started this blog, I was wondering what to do with my Twitter account name. I thought that a person in world history would be nice, but there were too many candidates. After thinking for a moment, I immediately thought that there was only Caesar. Thanks to that, I was often referred to
Battle of Actium and Battle of Kanne are listed in history textbooks, but there is no textbook in Japan that describes the Battle of Pharsalus. Thanks to that, I didnt even know the existence of this battle until I became a college student. It can be said that it is a battle of higher importance
It seems that Brutus is the main culprit in the assassination of Caesar, probably due to Shakespeares influence, but in reality, Casius is the main culprit. As for the area around Caesar, I have the impression that Shakespeare has distorted it a lot. Shakespeare, who dyes even his historical view
Lets take a look at the life of Pompey, who is really horribly strong! Representative of the Sulla faction Pompey was not born of a prestigious aristocrat, but from the emerging wealthy Equites class, whose father owns a large land near Rome, Praetor (legal officer) and Rome the very best Consul
British history began with the landing of Caesar, said the British Prime Minister Wiston Churchill during World War II, but it was the famous Gaius Julius Caesar who laid the foundation for Europe today. It can be said that. Caesar has made great achievements in the history of the world, but he ha
In Japan, the traitor is Hideaki Kobayakawa, but when it comes to traitors overseas, the names of Judas, Brutus, and Casius are the first to be mentioned. In fact, Dante, who represents the Renaissance, portrays Judas, Brutus, and Cassius as the heaviest sinners who continue to be bitten by the ev
The first century of civil war was also a time when many excellent people were produced. Chinas three-country era, Japans war-torn country era, and the first century of the Roman civil war are all civil wars within the same ethnic group, but it may be common in world history for attractive figures
In the 100 years since the failure of the Crassus brothers reforms, Rome has entered an extension era called the first century of civil war. After the Second Punic War, Rome took control of the Mediterranean and was like having no enemies. Humans are mysterious creatures. When the enemy disappea
Mark Antony, who appeared in the late 1st century of the Caesars Civil War, seems to be quite a celebrity because he appears in Shakespeares famous play Anthony and Cleopatra. I cant even defend it. Head and body are like gladiators Cicero, who is said to be the greatest philosopher in Rome, des
If Cleopatras nose was 3 cm lower, her history would have changed a lot. This is the word of the French philosopher Pascal, who is famous for the binomial theorem, but it is certain that Cleopatra changed the history of the world, aside from the height of her nose. Her real name, famous for Cl
The Battle of Actium, which determined Roman hegemony, was the largest civil war in the Roman Republic and the largest in the naval battles that took place in BC. This battle destroyed the republican Rome and gave birth to the First Roman Empire. This is the record. ostensibly Rome VS Egypt, i
Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was the one who carried out the Triumvirate with Oktavianus and Antonius. What did you actually do? I dont think anyone can respond to that. To be honest, he hasnt done anything in history. The prestigious Aemilia family Lepidus is from the prestigious Aemilia gens, who
In world history textbooks, Triumvirate always mentions both primary and secondary. Triumvirate is a coined word translated from the Latin word Triumviratus and is recognized as a concept that is paired with the Senate, which was the highest institution in Rome. ?? First Triumvirate The Roman
I think the Three Kingdoms in China, the Warring States period in Japan, and the first century of civil war in Rome are the top three eras that Japanese people like. What all the times have in common is that they did not fight against foreign enemies, but from the same ethnic group. No power can
Octavian, who succeeded Caesar, had no military talent. His commanding ability is almost the worst of all Roman figures, and he is largely defeated in the battles he commanded. So was Octavian incompetent? The answer is no. Caesar can be said to be a versatile genius. Under his command, he
The mecenat movement is a term often heard in corporate recruitment exams and civil service exams, and its etymology is Gaius Maecenas, the protagonist of this time. If you read Maecenas in French, it becomes a patronage. By the way, the Mesena movement is a corporate investment to protect cultu
The Roman empire is divided into two parts. One is Principate started by the first emperor, and the other is Dominates started by Diocletian. It is very difficult to explain Principate, which is the subject of this time and can be said to be the first empire of Rome. After all, Principate itse
Unfortunately, few Japanese people are named when considering the history of the world. Ryotaro Shiba, a well-known Japanese historical writer, says, Japan couldnt have a hero at last, but if you dare to say it, only Heihachiro Togo is known in the world. There are quite a lot of excellent people
The 19th century was a disaster for the native peoples of North America. The westward expansion of the United States came at the expense of their land, their freedom, and often their lives, a massive displacement that occurred over a surprisingly short period of time. Between 1810 and 1895, the Unit
On July 24, 2011 we made an entry, in this same blog, about turnismo in the Restoration. This was a fundamental element for political functioning during this period and, although its purpose was clear, its mechanisms were more complex, all of them being linked to electoral manipulation and the pheno
The memorial service in memory of Nikitas Stamatelopoulos or Nikitaras was held in Chiliomodi, Corinthia. As stated by the Deputy Minister of Development and Investments Christos Dimas in his post on social media: Honor and glory to the heroes of 1821. Today, as every year, a memorial service w
