Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject History - World History - Early and Ancient History, grade: A, Indiana University, language: English, abstract: Agrippina the younger seems to fascinate not only for modern authors or movie makers, but also ancient writers and artists. Not only was Agrippina minor widely used as model for statues or images on coins, she also used to play often a major role in the stories of ancient authors like Tacitus, Suetonius or Cassius Dio. She stands out in the description of those authors, characterized mainly as evil and greedy for power, interfering the businesses of the emperors and therefore totally un-female, if not even totally male in her character. The paper covers biographical facts as well as Agrippina's depiction in literary sources, her relations to the emperors of her family as well as her commemoration on coins. Furthermore, Agrippina's actions, especially her political actions are described and the impact which they had on Roman society and on her characterization by Tacitus.

Eroine nere, sciagurate, perdute e diabolicheUna lista nera di eroine assetate di potere e di sangue, di vendetta e di denaro: maghe, streghe, tessitrici di intrighi, efferate criminali, vedove per vocazione, contesse annoiate e nevrotiche. Dalle regine intriganti alle criminali armate di calibro 38, dalle infermiere assassine alle guardiane naziste, e poi serial killer, avvelenatrici, mafiose, gangster e casalinghe disturbate... cui si aggiungono personaggi di un composito mondo irreale, dalle vampire dell’epoca romantica alle vendicatrici in tuta gialla del cinema pulp, dalla letteratura al fumetto, da Euripide a Hitchcock: l’elenco delle donne fatali è lungo.Da Isabella di Castiglia e la sua Inquisizione a Maria I Tudor la“sanguinaria”, dalle sevizie della contessa Bathory ai colpi di scure di Lizzie Borden, da Ilse Koch e le sue torture a Buchenwald alla saponificatrice di Correggio: 101 ritratti di donne che, dall’antichità fino ai giorni nostri, hanno delineato un bizzarro percorso storico della malvagità di genere femminile. Uno straordinario affresco noir dove “mani gentili” disegnano trame oscure e finali tragicamente a sorpresa.«Un “catalogo” delle perfide nei secoli, con altrettanti ritratti delle più crudeli signore del mondo.

This book explores the way in which three ancient historians, writing in Latin, embedded the gods into their accounts of the past. Although previous scholarship has generally portrayed these writers as somewhat dismissive of traditional Roman religion, it is argued here that Livy, Tacitus and Ammianus saw themselves as being very close to the centre of those traditions. The gods are presented as a potent historical force, and a close reading of the historians' texts easily bears out this conclusion. Their treatment of the gods is not limited to portraying the role and power of the divine in the unfolding of the past: equally prominent is the negotiation with the reader concerning what constituted a 'proper' religious system. Priests and other religious experts function as an index of the decline (or restoration) of Rome and each writer formulates a sophisticated position on the practical and social aspects of Roman religion.

In this dynamic new biography - the first on Agrippina in English - Professor Barrett uses the latest archaeological, numismatic and historical evidence to provide a close and detailed study of her life and career. He shows how Agrippina's political contribution to her time seems in fact to have been positive, and that when she is judged by her achievements she demands admiration. Revealing the true figure behind the propaganda and the political machinations of which she was capable, he assesses the impact of her marriage to the emperor Claudius, on the country and her family. Finally, he exposed her one real failing - her relationship with her son, the monster of her own making to whom, in horrific and violent circumstances, she would eventually fall victim.

This study in the language of Roman imperialism provides a provocative new perspective on the Roman imperial project. It highlights the prominence of the language of mastery and slavery in Roman descriptions of the conquest and subjection of the provinces. More broadly, it explores how Roman writers turn to paradigmatic modes of dependency familiar from everyday life - not just slavery but also clientage and childhood - in order to describe their authority over, and responsibilities to, the subject population of the provinces. It traces the relative importance of these different models for the imperial project across almost three centuries of Latin literature, from the middle of the first century BCE to the beginning of the third century CE.
