Fruit ripe and unripe, water from the fountain and the brook, goat's milk and cow's milk, cakes without salt, without leaven, and without either odour or flavour, were their offerings every day. The happier were they in her preference, because no jealousy could be occasioned by it to their competitors.

Cicero, while pleading before the pontifices, attributes to them power greater than human--dignity and authority which must have encroached almost inconveniently on the divine.

Ancient Rome
Author: Paul A. ZochPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806166878
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
In this revised and expanded edition of Ancient Rome, author Paul A. Zoch presents the history and mythology of Rome, from its legendary progenitor Aeneas to the death of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180 c.e. Zoch guides readers through the military campaigns and political developments that shaped Rome’s rise from a small Italian city to the greatest imperial power the world had ever known, and he includes stories about its protagonists—such as Romulus and Remus, Horatius, and Nero—that are often omitted from more specialized studies. In Zoch’s retelling, the events and personalities of ancient Rome spring to life. We witness the long struggle against the enemy city of Carthage. We follow Caesar as he campaigns in Britain, and we observe the ebb and flow of Rome’s fortunes in the Hellenistic East. Emphasizing both the political and moral lessons to be learned from Roman history—and that remain relevant today—Zoch gives readers a narrative that is both entertaining and informative. An afterword takes the history to the fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 c.e.
