Roman Religious Toleration:
The Senatus Consultum de Bacchanalibus , 186 BCE
Livy, History of Rome , Book XXXIX There was a freedwoman called Hispala Fecenia, a noted courtesan, but deserving of a better lot than the mode of life to which she had been accustomed when very young and a slave, and by which she had maintained herself since her manumission. As they lived in the same neighborhood, an intimacy subsisted between her and Aebutius, which was far from being injurious to either to the young man's character or property; for he had been loved and wooed by her unsolicited; and as his friends supplied his wants illiberally, he was supported by the generosity of this woman; nay, to such a length did she go under the influence of her affection, that, on the death of her patron, because she was under the protection of no one, having petitioned the tribunes and praetors for a guardian, when she was making her will, she constituted Aebutius her sole heir. When he came home, and his mother made mention of such things pertaining to the ceremony as were to be performed on that day and on the several following days, he told her that he would not perform any of them, nor did he intend to be initiated. His stepfather was present at this discourse. Immediately the woman observed, that

Livy:
The Roman Way of Declaring War, c. 650 BCE
[Davis Introduction]: Among the very old formulas and usages that survived at Rome down to relatively late times, this method of declaring war holds a notable place. It was highly needful to observe all the necessary formalities in beginning hostilities, otherwise the angry gods would turn their favor to the enemy. Ancus Marcius, the fourth king of Rome, was at once a man of peace and an efficient soldier; and on the outbreak of a war with the Latins he is said to have instituted the customs which later ages of Romans observed in war. History of Rome , I.32: Inasmuch as Numa had instituted the religious rites for days of peace, Ancus Marcius desired that the ceremonies relating to war might be transmitted by himself to future ages. Accordingly he borrowed from an ancient folk, the Aequicolae, the form which the [Roman] heralds still observe, when they make public demand for restitution. The [Roman] envoy when he comes to the frontier of the offending nation, covers his head with a woolen fillet, and says: i.e.

] Aegre sedata ab Quinctio plebs, multo aegrius consul alter a patribus. Dimisso tandem concilio plebis senatum consules habent. Vbi cum timor atque ira in uicem sententias uariassent, quo magis spatio interposito ab impetu ad consultandum auocabantur, eo plus abhorrebant a certatione animi, adeo ut Quinctio gratias agerent quod eius opera mitigata discordia esset. Ab Appio petitur ut tantam consularem maiestatem esse uellet quanta esse in concordi ciuitate posset; dum tribunique et consules ad se quisque omnia trahant, nihil relictum esse uirium in medio; distractam laceratamque rem publicam; magis quorum in manu sit quam ut incolumis sit quaeri. Appius contra testari deos atque homines rem publicam prodi per metum ac deseri; non consulem senatui sed senatum consuli deesse; grauiores accipi leges quam in Sacro monte acceptae sint. Victus tamen patrum consensu quieuit; lex silentio perfertur. ] Contra ea in Aequis inter consulem ac milites comitate ac beneficiis certatum est. Et natura Quinctius erat lenior, et saeuitia infelix collegae quo is magis gauderet ingenio suo effecerat. Huic tantae concordiae ducis exercitusque non ausi offerre se Aequi, uagari populabundum hostem per agros passi; nec ullo ante bello latius inde acta est praeda. Ea omnis militi data est. Addebantur et laudes, quibus haud minus quam praemio gaudent militum animi. Cum duci, tum propter ducem patribus quoque placatior exercitus rediit, sibi parentem, alteri exercitui dominum datum ab senatu memorans. Varia fortuna belli, atroci discordia domi forique annum exactum insignem maxime comitia tributa efficiunt, res maior uictoria suscepti certaminis quam usu. Plus enim dignitatis comitiis ipsis detractum est patres ex concilio submouendo, quam uirium aut plebi additum est aut demptum patribus.

Livy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A native of Padua on the Po River in northern Italy Titus Livius (around 59 BC - AD ), in English known as Livy , wrote a monumental history of Rome from its founding in 753 BC . The book's title, Ab Urbe Condita ("From the Founding of the City"), makes Livy's ambition clear, but not his method. He writes in a mixture of annual chronology and narrative - often having to interrupt a story to announce the elections of new Consuls at Rome. Livy's task was made the more difficult because of a lack of historical data prior to the sacking of Rome in 390 BC by the Gauls Livy wrote the majority of his works under Augustus , but is often identified with an attachment to the Roman Republic and a desire for its restoration. Since we lack the later books discussing the end of the

Book 3
Book 1
753 - 509 BC 1. At the fall of Troy, according to generally accepted tradition, the Greeks exercised their fury against other Trojans but exempted Aeneas and Antenor from the rules of war because of ancient ties and because they had advocated restoring Helen and making peace. After various adventures Antenor attached to himself a crowd of Eneti who had lost their king Pylaemenes at Troy, had been ejected from Paphlagonia in a revolution, and were therefore seeking a home and a leader. Eneti and Trojans migrated to the inmost bay of the Adriatic, drove out the Euganei who lived between the sea and the Alps, and occupied the region. The spot where they landed is named Troy and the district is called Trojan; the people as a whole is called Venetian. Aeneas was made a refugee by a similar disaster, but him the fates summoned to higher enterprises. First he reached Macedonia, then his search for a home carried him to Sicily, and from there he voyaged to the Laurentian country. That place too is called Troy. The Trojans who disembarked had nothing left but their weapons and their ships after their interminable wandering, and while they were collecting plunder from the countryside King Latinus and the Aborigines who occupied the area swarmed out under arms from city and field to repel the invading foreigners 5. Once when they were known to be preoccupied with celebrating the Lupercalia they were ambushed by robbers who were incensed at the loss of their plunder. Romulus defended himself, but Remus was taken captive and delivered to King Amulius with the charge that they had raided Numitor's fields; they had collected a band of young fellows, it was alleged, and had pillaged like an invading enemy. Consequently, Remus was handed over to Numitor to be punished. Even from the beginning Faustulus had suspected that the children he was bringing up were of the blood royal. He knew that the babes had been exposed at the king's order, and that the time when he had taken them up corresponded exactly; but he had resolved to avoid hasty disclosure unless opportunity offered or necessity compelled. Necessity came first: under the compulsion of fear he imparted the facts to Romulus.

Discourses on Livy . Translated by Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov. lvi, 368 p. 1995 Cloth $37.50sp 0-226-50035-7 Spring 1996
Paper $15.00tx 0-226-50036-5 Spring 1998 Discourses on Livy is the founding document of modern republicanism, and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided the definitive English translation of this classic work. Faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, it is eminently readable. With a substantial introduction, extensive explanatory notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated index, the Discourses reveals Machiavelli's radical vision of a new science of politics, a vision of "new modes and orders" that continue to shape the modern ethos. "[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to inspire scholars for five centuries. Within the Discourses , often hidden and sometimes unintended by their author, lie the seeds of modern political thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov's] translation is careful and idiomatic."Peter Stothard, The Times "Translated with painstaking accuracybut also great readability."

Titus Livius (Livy) was born c. 59 B.C. and died in 17 A.D. at Patavium, in northern Italy. In about 29 B.C., while living in Rome, he started his magnum opus, Ab Urbe Condita , a history of Rome from its foundation, written in 142 books. Little else is known about him, but it is reported that although he does not appear to have held public office, Augustus thought he was a Republican and Suetonius thought he encouraged the Emperor Claudius in his historical studies. Even if we don't know much about his life, we have a generous sample of his writing (35 books: i-x, xxi-xlv) and an even more generous supply of scholarship about it. From Book xlv onward, even though we don't have Livy's words, we know the content from ancient summaries. A third century Egyptian papyrus summarizes Books xxxvii-xl and xlviii-lv, and a fourth century summary known as the

    http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1998/chlup.html
    James T. Chlup
    Review of Mary Jaeger, Livy's Written Rome
    University of Michigan Press (Ann Arbor, 1997). xii+205pp.
    Livy enthusiasts have been fortunate that there has been a substantial rise of interest in their author in the last few years and many major works of scholarship on the historian have been produced. Mary Jaeger's book builds particularly upon the recent interest in the relationship between Latin literature and the city of Rome - how a literary text represents "spaces" such as fora, roads, buildings, temples, even people, and explores or "transgresses" these "spaces". One recently influential volume to explore this relationship is Catharine Edward's Writing Rome (Cambridge, 1995), in which, to the satisfaction of the Livy scholar, Edwards devotes an appreciable amount of attention to Livy. But Jaeger, already well established in her own right as one of the exciting new generation of Livian scholars, now goes one better and gives us a Livy-only treatment of the relationship. Starting on page 7 she defines the book's argument: "this book examines Livy's use of the Roman world, particularly the city of Rome, as one of his primary organising devices", and continues on page 8: "accordingly, this book is concerned with the representation of space, monuments and memory in the Ab Urbe Condita as a spatial entity, a monument, and a lengthy act of remembering". As far as the Roman world as Livy's main organisational device for the history is concerned, Jaeger is of course correct. Previous to this argument she points out that "books, pentads, and decades of his narrative correspond to [Roman] historical epochs" (6). She is again correct, but this latter statement is more or less obvious: Livy is writing a Roman history with Romans as the central characters and with Romans as the intended readers. Therefore, the tendency of the Roman reader to consider himself to be at the centre of the world (as Jaeger notes on page 9) and of a Roman world-history is understandable. Jaeger is also correct in seeing the

    Livy's characterization of individuals and races in Book 21
    Martin Foulkes (Durham, UK)
    In an unusual modification of his annalistic approach, Livy opens Book 21 with the character of Hannibal. He does so in the context of claims, which consciously and artfully echo Thucydides 1. 1, about the power and status of Rome and Carthage as they embark on 'the most memorable war in history' (1) (all translations are taken from the Penguin translation). The two peoples are described as 'old antagonists', in a conflict fuelled by 'high passions' and 'mutual hatred'. Still in (1), we are told the story of the nine-year-old Hannibal begging his father to be allowed to accompany him on campaign and of the response of Hamilcar, obliging his son to take an oath of enmity towards Rome. We have barely reached (2) as we are apprised of Hamilcar's resentment at the defeat of Carthage in the first war with Rome (264-241 BC) and the fact that 'if he had lived, the invasion of Italy would have taken place under his (Hamilcar's) leadership, instead of Hannibal's'. In this breathless and portentous opening Livy sets the scene for his account of the beginning of the Second Punic War in 219/218 BC. Already the characters of individuals and peoples are centre-stage. This should not surprise us. At

    Livy About Rome's Early Kings The Roman Historian Livy describes Rome's first kings. Here are some brief quotes: Romulus (753-715 BC) "Go," he said, "and tell the Romans that by heaven's will my Rome shall be capital of the world. Let them learn to be soldiers. Let them know, and teach their children, that no power on earth can stand against Roman arms." Having spoken these words, he was taken up again into the sky. Livy, History I, xvi Numa Pompilius (715-673 BC) Once Rome's Neighbors had considered her not so much as a city as an armed camp in their midst threatening the general peace; now they came up to revere her so profoundly as a community dedicated wholly to worship, that the mere thought of offering her violence seemed like sacrilege. Livy, History I, xxi Tullus Hostilius (673-641 BC) In his view, Rome had been allowed to lapse into senility, and his one object was to find cause for renewed military adventure. Livy, History I, xviii Ancus Martius (641-616 BC) His fame as both soldier and administrator was unsurpassed by any previous occupant of the throne.

    AHB home page Livy and Etruscan Women Iain McDougall (The University of Winnipeg) The Ancient History Bulletin O who was never very good at coping with culture shock at the best of times. The various funerary inscriptions also reveal a more elevated status. By contrast with Roman custom, an Etruscan woman was identified by her own name in addition to that of their family, while a mother's name and lineage frequently appears with the father's, a habit which persists well into Roman Imperial times. What is not so clear, however, is the extent to which this social freedom is to be seen as coupled with a political freedom and authority. Ever since J. J. Bachofen produced his theory of an Etruscan matriarchy in the 19th century, it has been frequently asserted that Livy's portrayal of the women in the saga of the house of Tarquin, notably Tanaquil and Tullia, shows that the Roman historical tradition preserved traces of the political authority of Etruscan women. Despite the fact that most of Bachofen's theories regarding the Etruscans have been discarded or at the very least modified, the notion that Livy was portraying these women as Etruscan has persisted, notably in the influential work on Etruscan society by Jacques Heurgon and three recent, and otherwise useful, articles on Etruscan women by Larissa Bonfante. It is the contention of this paper that those who are inclined to follow such a path are falling into one of the notorious traps of Etruscology and in their eagerness to find literary testimonia to fill out the evidence of the archaeological and epigraphical data
