Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was one of the most influential figures in late republican Rome, a moment of great social, political, and cultural unrest that would lead to the transition from republic to empire. Cicero was a statesman who held the highest political office, the consulship, and then suffered politically motivated exile. His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come.

Auch nach seinem Untergang vor 1500 Jahren scheint das antike Rom hat nichts von seiner Faszination verloren zu haben. Ganz im Gegenteil: Es ist Zentrum eines neuen Hypes.

Woher aber kommt das ungebremste Interesse an dem versunkenen Imperium? Der Historiker Martin Verg geht dieser Frage nach und unterhält uns mit erstaunlichen Fakten, spannenden Geschichten und kuriosen historischen Randnotizen rund um das lebendige Erbe unserer römischen Vorfahren.

Four years after their departure for the east, the armies of Rome are bloodied and exhausted. Their victories against the Parthian Empire came at great cost. As Emperor Trajan stood upon the shores of the Persian Gulf, insurrections erupted amongst the Jewish populations of Cyrenaica, Egypt, Cyprus, and Syria. These were inflamed by uprisings across the newly conquered regions of Mesopotamia. Though Trajan defeated Parthia’s armies in the field, the campaign ended with a humiliating failed siege at Hatra. Disease wreaked havoc upon the imperial army, including the emperor himself.

Тысячи лет назад их тела были преданы земле, скрыты в глубинах пирамид, завязаны в погребальные ткани или оставлены на вершинах заснеженных гор. Но власть времени оказалась не безгранична: мумии пережили собственную смерть. Археолог и антрополог Жюльет Каз отправляется в путешествие по миру, чтобы раскрыть тайны древних и современных техник мумификации, проследить путь от египетских саркофагов до крошечных амазонских голов-тсантса, от самоумерщвленных японских монахов до останков, найденных в вечной мерзлоте. Как люди прошлых эпох пытались победить тление?

He was Rome’s golden boy — beautiful, brilliant, beloved. A poet, a singer, a dreamer on the throne. But behind the lyre and the laurel, there was rot. This is not the story of an emperor. It’s the story of a boy raised to perform, handed absolute power, and slowly, irrevocably swallowed by his own illusion. Nero Caesar didn’t rule an empire. He directed one — turning politics into theater, cruelty into ritual, and Rome itself into a stage built to burn.

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege.

Socrates was not a teacher. He wasn’t a guru, a prophet, or a preacher. He was a barefoot stonecutter who wandered the streets of Athens asking uncomfortable questions — and refusing to stop when the answers didn’t make sense. This is the story of the philosopher who left no writings behind but changed the trajectory of human thought forever. From his youth in the bustling Agora to his final moments with the hemlock cup in hand, this book follows the man, the method, and the madness of Socratic philosophy — not as a subject of study, but as a way of life.
