Book Description
Excerpt from The Epigraphical Evidence for the Reigns of Vespasian and Titus The study of inscriptions and the evidence gathered from these monuments of past ages are greatly changing our histories of an cient Greece and Rome. By means of them disputed points are settled with certainty, dates are fixed, and innumerable facts are brought to light that could never have been learned from our ex tant literary sources. Hence it is that no historian of the present day can afford to neglect the science of epigraphy. This is true for any period from the late republic down to the fourth century of the empire, but it is especially true for the period of the Flavian emperors. Students of Roman history have suffered an irreparable loss from the fact that the Histories of Tacitus have survived only in a frag mentary form, breaking off just after the accession of Vespasian. Through this misfortune we are confined almost solely to the meagre outlines of Suetonius and Dio Cassius for the facts of the reigns of Vespasian and Titus.

It may commemorate the building of this bridge by Claudius and its restoration by Vespasian. The via Cassia led from Rome to Arretium, Florence, and Lucca. It was a frequented highway at least as early as Cicero's time.1 Via Flaminia. 118. Imp. T. Caesar divi Vespas./. Vespasianus Aug., pontif. max., tr. pot. XIIII,2 imp. XV, cos. VIII, p. p., cen.

Septempeda was a small town on a branch of this road leading from Nuceria, in Umbria, to Ancona. The milestones of the branch were numbered from Rome. The Flaminian road was found of great importance on occasion of the invasion of Italy by the forces of Vespasian under Antonius Primus.' Vespasian added to its convenience by constructing a tunnel through the rock at Intercisa.4 Via Flavia. 119. Imp. Caesar Vespasianus Aug., pontif.: ., trib. pot. X, imp. XVIIIl, censor, cos.

Book Description
About seventy years after the death of Jesus, John of Patmos sent visionary messages to Christians in seven cities of western Asia Minor. These messages would eventually become part of the New Testament canon, as The Book of Revelation. What was John's message? What was its literary form? Did he write to a persecuted minority or to Christians enjoying the social and material benefits of the Roman Empire? In search of answers to these penetrating questions, Thompson critically examines the language, literature, history, and social setting of the Book of the Apocalypse. Following a discussion of the importance of the genre apocalypse, he closely analyzes the form and structure of the Revelation, its narrative and metaphoric unity, the world created through John's visions, and the social conditions of the empire in which John wrote. He offers an unprecedented interpretation of the role of boundaries in Revelation, a reassessment of the reign of the Emperor Domitian, and a view of tribulation that integrates the literary vision of Revelation with the reality of the lives of ordinary people in a Roman province. Throughout his study, Thompson argues that the language of Revelation joins the ordinary to the extra-ordinary, earth to heaven, and local conditions to supra-human processes.
