On 1 January A.D. 69, the Roman people particularly the inhabitants of Rome, had every reason to feel optimistic. The infamous Nero was dead and Galba, in his seventies, a greatly respected governor of Nearer Spain, had been chosen emperor with the whole-hearted consent of army and Senate. And yet, within the first fortnight of the New Year, Galba had been brutally assassinated in the Roman Forum. During a year which had begun with such high hopes of peace and stability two further emperors, Otho and Vitellius, were to meet equally violent deaths, two desperate battles were to be fought at Cremona, Rome was to be captured for Vespasian, and civil war was not only to rack Italy but to touch areas as remote as Britain and Syria. Few years in history, certainly in the Roman empire, have been so eventful: the appearance of four emperors in one year is spectacular in itself. A.D. 69 is, however, important as well as dramatic. It marks the watershed between the first and second imperial dynasties and the passing of an old order. The Long Year also reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the empire. The Senate, which had long been living on the past glory of its republican days, proved petty and ineffectual in the hour of crisis; while, ironically, the battles between rival Roman armies only enhanced their endurance. The military efficiency of the empire was not impaired by the civil war within; and its political structure was reaffirmed. Exceptional years invite exceptional scrutiny, of everyday life as well as the deeds of the great. It is fortunate for us that the events of the Long Year were recorded in colourful and cunning detail by one of the greatest historians of all time, Tacitus. Mr. Wellesley draws skilfully on his famous source but by no means exclusively or uncritically. His own interpretation of the motives and characters of the chief contestants and of the much debated battles of Cremona will appeal to the classical student and scholar; but we can all enjoy his elegant, imaginative retelling of an exciting story now nineteen hundred years old.

In honor of eminent archaeologist and historian of ancient Jewish art, Rachel Hachlili, friends and colleagues offer contributions in this festschrift which span the world of ancient Judaism both in Palestine and the Diaspora. Hachlili's distinctive research interests: synagogues, burial sites, and Jewish iconography receive particular attention in the volume. Archaeologists and historians present new material evidence from Galilee, Jerusalem, and Transjordan, contributing to the honoree’s fields of scholarly study. Fresh analyses of ancient Jewish art, essays on architecture, historical geography, and research history complete the volume and make it an enticing kaleidoscope of the vibrant field of scholarship that owes so much to Rachel.

The roman empire reached its zenith within the first two centuries of the fall of the roman republic, expanding its territory and spreading its influence well beyond the borders of europe. During that time, a sort of global peace was achieved, which historians call the pax romana. Throughout the pages of this tome, you'll get brief glimpses of the reigns of many emperors who made the pax romana into what it was. Discover the pax romana's long-term effects and how it managed to cement the roman empire as the go-to empire for many later civilizations to try and emulate. Some of the topics covered in this book include: From the republic to the empire: the rise of octavian The age of augustus The julio-claudian dynasty after augustus: from tiberius to nero Civil war and the year of the four emperors (ad 68-69) The flavians Some new emperors Crises, civil wars, and divisions: the long and painful decline Two empires: east and west Throughout the story of the holy roman empire, a wealth of fascinating tales from interesting people proliferates. Monks and emperors will clash, poets sing the praises of kings, and the pope rides blind and bareback on a frightened donkey through the streets of rome. The mightiest monarch in all of the world walks barefoot in the snow in repentance for his angry deeds, and two rival families stand toe-to-toe for the monarchy.
