From today you can enjoy the DHistórica digital magazine nº0 , a starting special in which you will find some of the best History articles on the net, to enjoy them completely free of charge from a comfortable chair in front of the computer. In this issue you will find articles on very different topics, but all with the same central category:the History of ancient Rome . So get ready to make a brief tour of all these articles with me.
Chronologically speaking, we begin with the article by Jose María Escalante, from Walking Through History, about the mythical foundation of Rome , we continue through Maribel Bofill, from Gladiatrix in the arena, over the first bridge in Rome, the Sublicio bridge , and then with Esperanza Varo, who tells us about the Roman Malacca , that is, the city of Malaga in Roman times. We continue in time with Federico Romero, from History and Ancient Rome, who reveals the horrors ofthe Sertorian wars in Hispania , and with Juan Manuel Palomino, from El Historicón, who reveals the disaster of the battle of Carras with the Parthian Empire. Finally, in this chronological sense, the article of a server about the rebellion of the Empire of Palmyra stands out. , the article by Juan Luis Gomar Hoyos, from Historia Hispano, on the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields , and that of Juanjo Ortiz, from El cajon de Grisom, about the attempted resurrection of the Roman Empire by Benito Mussolini , already in the 20th century.
Adopting a more general approach, Sergio Alejo Gómez teaches us the important role of centurions in the Roman legions, Mireia Gallego, from the Atenea Nike blog, brings us up to date on the uses of phallic symbols , and David Ramírez, from Falerística, is absolutely right with his article on the orders of the Roman eagle. In addition, Jesús García Barcala, from Ciencia Histórica, gives us an essay in which he explains why nobody should hate the Romans today. As if all this were not enough by itself, we have the two complementary sections of the magazine:on the one hand, this month's guest, the historian and archaeologist Arnau Lario, tells us about the cult of Mithras; and, on the other hand, Juan Manuel Palomino, in the hoax of the month section , dismantles the widespread belief that the Romans vomited to continue eating. Now yes, I won't tell you anything else, I simply invite you to click on the image below to download nº 0 of DHistórica . Enjoy the story!
