‎The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus‎

‎8vo br. ed. pp. 444. The age of Augustus, commonly dated to 30 BC AD 14, was a pivotal period in world history. A time of tremendous change in Rome, Italy, and throughout the Mediterranean world, many developments were underway when Augustus took charge and a recurring theme is the role that he played in shaping their direction. The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus captures the dynamics and richness of this era by examining important aspects of political and social history, religion, literature, and art and architecture. The sixteen essays, written by distinguished specialists from the United States and Europe, explore the multi-faceted character of the period and the interconnections between social, religious, political, literary, and artistic developments. Introducing the reader to many of the central issues of the Age of Augustus, the essays also break new ground and will stimulate further research and discussion.‎

He Entered The Household Of Cardinal Pompeo Colonna At An Early Age As A Page And Was Enrolled In The Order Of St John Of Jerusalem Later That Of Pierluigi Farnese Duke Of Castro Later Duke Of Parma The Son Of Paul Iii. He Then Fought Under The Alfonso D'avalos Marchese Del Vasto In Lombardy And Piedmont And Under Ottavio Farnese Duke Of Parma In Flanders And Germany Fighting Protestants In The Name Of The Emperor. Here An Incident Occurred That Reinforced Perceptions Among Contemporaries For Greed Arrogance And A Violent Nature: His Possession Of A Captive Gentleman Worth A Considerable Ransom Was Challenged By A Spaniard Whose Right Was Upheld By His Compatriot The Duke Of Alba; And In The Aftermath Carlo Pursuing His Adversary To Provoke A Duel Was Incarcerated At Trento Until He Agreed Not To Pursue The Vendetta.

In January 1559 Paul Finally Accepted The Accuracy Of The Accusations Made And Exiled Both His Nephews From Rome And Replaced Carlo As Cardinal Nephew With Carlo's Own Nephew Alfonso Carafa Cardinal Archbishop Of Naples. In June 1560 Paul's Successor Pope Pius Iv Arrested The Leading Members Of The Family - Carlo His Brother Duke Govanni And Their Nephew The Cardinal Archbishop Of Naples Seizing Their Papers And Levying A Range Of Charges Relating To Abuses Of Power.

After A Nine-Month Trial He Was Condemned Along With His Brother And Was Executed By Strangulation At Castel Sant' Angelo On The Night Of 6 March 1561. His Execution Was Considered At The Time To Have Been Motivated Primarily By Politics. <br/> <br/> Giovanni. Battista Hacque/ Hacque, Johann Baptist unknown‎

During Earlier Pontificates The Altieri Held Many Important Offices And Had Been Entrusted With Several Delicate Missions. All But One Of The Male Scions Of The Altieri Family Had Chosen The Ecclesiastical Career. On His Accession To The Papacy Clement X In Order To Save The Altieri Name From Extinction Adopted The Paoluzzi Family And Proposed That One Of The Paluzzi Should Marry Laura Caterina Altieri The Sole Heiress Of The Family.

‎Caracalla‎

‎8vo, br. ed. 256pp. Calvo, di bassa statura, ma dotato di un fisico possente, univa doti straordinarie - una notevole resistenza al caldo e al freddo e una capacità fuori dal comune di sottoporsi a esercizi faticosi e prolungati - a un temperamento sanguigno e poco incline al compromesso. Avido di potere e per questo animato da profondo odio prima contro il prefetto del pretorio Plauziano e poi contro il fratello, riuscì a mantenere buoni rapporti con la madre anche dopo la morte di Geta, nonostante ella avesse manifestato le sue preferenze per quest'ultimo. Sebbene si sia tentati di credere il contrario, Caracalla godette di una grande popolarità: fu amato soprattutto dai soldati, legionari e pretoriani, con i quali si dimostrò sempre molto generoso, ma anche dalla plebs, come mostrano in maniera emblematica il successo delle terme ma anche della veste da lui brevettata, il caracallus. Ecco perché - vuoi anche per la pochezza del successore - alla sua morte fu divinizzato e fu rimpianto amaramente.‎
