THE PAX ROMANA Instructional Goal: Students will know the events which are connected with the Pax Romana. I. Between 96-235 AD the Roman Empire reached its height of peace and prosperity. This period is known as the "Pax Romana" or the "Peace of Rome". Rome was ruled by a group of emperors known as the "Five Good Emperors" between 96-180 AD, and the Severan dynasty until 235 AD. This period is characterized by the polyglot origins of the emperors and The policy which provided for an orderly and stable succession. II. Nerva (30-98 AD) assumes the throne after the assassination of Domitian. Nerva is appointed emperor by the Senate. He is an elderly and sickly man who rules for only 2 years. He did not have the support of the military at the start of his reign but sooned gained it through his appointment of Trajan as his successor as well as his increase of military pensions. He also increased the welfare payments (Dole) to the masses. He died of natural causes in 98 AD. III.Trajan (53-117 AD) succeeds to the throne. Trajan ruled for 19 years and is remembered as one of the most renowned and greatest of the Roman emperors.

Home View My Guestbook Sign my Guestbook E-mail ... Personal Quirks Background for Fall of the Roman Empire However, many argue that the so called fall was only a collapse of the Roman political system but the social, cultural and linguistic constructs remained in place.  Granted those structures have changed dramatically since the time of Augustus.  Also while the Western Empire lost its power the Eastern Empire remained firmly in place for another thousand years. Background for the Movie Historical Inaccuracies of the Movie In terms of historical accuracy this movie sucked.  I'm sorry, but it did. Where do I start . . . I guess I will start with the main character Livius.  He didn't exist.  He's not even based on a real character.  Then there is Lucilla.  The real Lucilla is anything but chaste.  She was involved in numerous affairs.  Some more hostile sources she occasionally pretended she was a prostitute to amuse herself.  She did however plot against her brother which caused him to exile her and eventually murders her. One of the more interesting scenes in the movie is when MA gathers all the leaders of the Empire and makes the speech about tolerance.  It is better reflections of United State's mentality during the 60s rather than MA's own attitude.  More over, the meeting never took place.  MA also did not plan to demote his son.  Instead he made Commodus co-ruler seven years before.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Philosopher 121 - 180 CE "And so, he remains the especial friend and comforter of scrupulous and dificult yet pure-hearted and upward-striving souls, in those ages especially that walk by sight, not by faith, but yet have no open vision: he cannot give such souls, perhaps, all they yearn for, but he gives them much, and what he gives them they can receive." - Matthew Arnold "in the capital of Christendom, the portrait most suggestive of a Christian conscience is that of a pagan emperor." - Henry James [about Marcus Aurelius' statue in the Piazza Campidoglio in Rome] Back to my Homepage Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Biography Works and Quotes Links BIOGRAPHY Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born Marcus Annius Verus in C.E. 121 on the 26th April while Hadrian was emperor. His parents died when he was young and young Marcus was adopted by his grandfather. His grandfather saw to it that Marcus Aurelius got an excellent education. At the age of seventeen, Marcus Annius was adopted by his uncle, the new emperor, Aurelius Antoninus Pius, who had been adopted by the emperor Hadrian on the condition that he [Pius] adopt Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Marcus and Aurelius Antoninus' daughter Faustina were married and would go on to have five children. However, only the tyrannical Commodus, who would succeed Marcus Aurelius survived past childhood. In C.E. 161, Antoninus died and Marcus Aurelius became Emperor. He made Lucius Verus joint emperor and for the first time two emperors ruled Rome concurrently. Their rule was affected by the wars and plagues that affected the Empire. From 162 to 165, they fought the Pathians under Vologeses III and it was while returning from this engagement that the legions brought a plague back to Rome. From 167-168, Rome was at war with the Marcomanni and upon Verus' death in 169, which left Aurelius sole ruler, the hostilities resumed. It was while fighting this war that he, stationed on the Danube with his troops and living a meloncholy existence, wrote his famous book

A GENERAL OVERVIEW The Roman Contribution to Western Material Culture The Romans, coming along behind the Greeks (after defeating the Greeks militarily in 146 BC and turning Greece into a Roman province), put into effect a wonderfully ordered material civilization. This civilization indeed gave witness to the power of human reason or human engineering to work with the natural world in producing a place that people often thought was perfection itself. Roman civilization bore out the hope of the Greeksby giving the West a practical example of the orderly life. The Romans were not intellectual innovatorsas the Greeks were with their powerful philosophies. Rather, the Romans were powerful adminstratorssuch as the Greeks themselves were never able to be. The Romans, with their sense of legal or administrative order, put the Greek ideas to work in life. Probably had not the Romans done so, the Greek contribution might itself have been put aside with its own growing cynicism and skepticism. Thus the Romans contributed immensely to (materialistic) Western civilization by demonstrating clearly that orderly cooperation with nature could produce amazing results. The On-Going Influence of Hellenistic Thought Yet even under the practical-minded Romans, Western philosophy continued to develop. But Roman philosophy tended to follow the lines laid down by Hellenistic Greece in the two previous centuries. Indeed, as once Eastern thought captured its Greek conquerors centuries before, now Greek thought began to capture its Roman conquerors. Thus did Greek Platonism and Stoicism continue to draw Western philosophy forward, though now under Roman patronage. Indeed despite Roman political ascendancy, the Greek-speaking eastern provinces of the Roman Empire continued by their own right to be vibrant and at times even dominant cultural-intellectual centers within the Roman Imperium.

A Timeline of Hellenistic Philosophy Dr. Cynthia Freeland Introduction "Hellenistic" refers to a broad time period roughly from the death of Aristotle in 323/2 B.C.E. up through the second century C.E. During this period the centers of intellectual inquiry in many fields shifted from Athens to other regions around the Mediterranean, as political power shifted, including both Rome and Alexandria in Egypt. The term "Hellenistic" derives from the Greek word " hellenizo " which means to "act Greek" or "Greekify." In short, this is a time period in which literature, art, architecture, and philosophy were all acutely conscious of a debt to (and sometimes feelings of inferiority to or derivativeness upon) classical Hellenic culture. In philosophy, the Hellenistic period was exceptionally rich and varied. Both the schools of Aristotle (the Lyceum) and Plato (the Academy) continued in Athens for some time; the Academy remained open until the 6th century C.E. There were important new discoveries in medical science and astronomy, among many other fields. Three new schools of philosophy arose, all claiming inheritance from Socrates (pictured at left above) as their chief inspiration. The Epicureans sought to live a simple life devoted to simple pleasures, conversation with friends, and the pursuit of prudence or wisdom as the key to living well. The

Epictetus Hierocles Marcus Aurelius Justus Lipsius Guillaume Du Vair Zeno of Citium (336-224 BC): Born in Citium, Cypress (a then Greek colony). A student of Crates the Cynic. He was the son of a merchant and a merchant himself until the age of 42, when he started a philosophical school. Named for his teaching platform the stoa (gk for porch), his teachings were the beginning of Stoicism. None of Zeno's works have survived. Cleanthes of Assos (331-232 BC): A disciple of Zeno who later went on to head the Stoic school. An under educated ex-wrestler, he worked labor jobs at night to free his days to attend Zeno's philosophical discussions. While initially slow to grasp the concepts, his determination eventually made him Zeno's successor. Chrysippus of Soli (279-207 BC): Cleanthes pupil and eventual successor to the head of the stoic philosophy. A prolific writer and debater, Chrysippus would often take both sides of an argument. Of his over 700 written works, none survive, save a few fragments embedded in the works of later authors.

The Olympics of the Mind: The Guide to the Philosophers of Greece MARCUS AURELIUS 121–180 CE By William O. Stephens How putrid is the matter which underlies everything. Water, dust, bones, stench. Again, fine marbles are calluses of the earth; gold and silver, its sediments; our clothes, animal-hair; their purple, blood from a shellfish. Our very breath is something similar and changes from this to that. ( Meditations MARCUS AURELIUS, Roman emperor from 161 to 180 CE, was the last of the great Stoic philosophers. He was born in Rome as Marcus Annius Verus, of Spanish ancestry. His father died when he was a young boy, but Marcus soon enjoyed the favor of the emperor Hadrian. Nicknaming him Verissimus, meaning ‘the most truthful’, Hadrian made Marcus a priest at the tender age of eight, and betrothed him to the daughter of Lucius Ceionius Commodus when he was fifteen. When Ceionius died two years later, Hadrian arranged for the trustworthy Antoninus Pius, Hadrian’s successor to the throne, to adopt both Marcus and Ceionius’ son Lucius Verus. Marcus learned rhetoric, grammar, philosophy, and law from the best teachers of his day. Frank, sincere, and sensitive in character, Marcus was frail, but also lean and athletic. He married Pius’ daughter Faustina in 145 CE, and they had a daughter the next year. An ever loyal and obedient son-in-law, around 147 CE Marcus abandoned rhetoric for Stoicism, which inspired him the rest of his life. His own Stoic philosophy was deeply influenced by the great Stoic teacher and ex-slave Epictetus.

On the basis of these writings Marcion proclaimed the true Christianity, and founded churches. He taught that all who put their trust in the good God, and his crucified Son, renounce their allegiance to the Demiurge, and approve themselves by good works of love, shall be saved. But he taught further—and here we trace the influence of the current gnosticism on Marcion Marcion was the earliest critical student of the New Testament canon and text. It is noteworthy that he refused to admit the g~enuineness of the Pastoral Epistles and said that the letter to the Ephesians was really addressed to the Laodiceans (Tertullian, Adv. Marc. v.

His family was politically distinguished and of Spanish origin. His father died when he was young (probably in 124 CE) and he was brought up by his grandfather M. Annius Verus, brother in law of Antoninus Pius, and was appointed consul for the third time - a great and unusual honour - by the Emperor Hadrian in 126 CE. Hadrian admired Marcus when he was young and named him Verrisimus ('most truthful'). When Hadrian's proposed successor, Ceionius Commodus, died in 138 Hadrian named Antoninus Pius as his successor and adopted him. In turn he required him to adopt both Marcus and Ceionius' son Lucius Commodus.
