Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

(不读完大部头不上社交网络,然后今天读完了,社交网络呢……历史洪流,你回头看蝼蚁一般,恍惚不已。)那些讲平民生活的很亲切,那部纪录片里有一小部分涉及,因此熟悉。主体部分,我喜欢的在于开放的态度,模糊和猜测的部分都有指明。后期罗马帝国同基督教犹太民族的关系经点拨稍稍了解了一下。有什么历史的必然吗?我历史水平太菜,因此做了很多初级的笔记和图表,就不露丑了。
评分从Romulus到Caracalla,国王(酋邦)时代到共和体制,内战后迎接Caesar的时代,最终在罗马公民改革中戛然而止。可读性非常强的专栏历史。皇帝个性的差异只会影响少数精英人群,而与屠戮仅一线之隔的平民生活理应更有历史研究的价值。作者围绕SPQR有意避开连篇累牍的帝王传记,转而展开罗马人民和社会底层的叙述,可惜历史终究是胜利者和统治者书写的,相关的史料只在三四个章节中涵盖,关于元老院本身的描绘也比预期少了很多。
评分SPQR:元老院与罗马人民。剑桥大学Mary Beard教授讲述了从罗穆卢斯的王国时期到帝国时期的卡拉卡拉敕令之间接近千年的政治史演变。从小白的角度来看,作者对罗马史主流叙事的一些质疑有理有据。
评分* Ancient Rome is important.To ignore the Romans is not just to turn a blind eye to the distant past. * I have learnt their language as well as I can. I have read a good deal of the literature they have left us. * I no longer think, as I once naively did, that we have much to learn directly from the Romans… * But I am more and more convinced that …
评分要创新 要包容 也要谨慎评估风险 要从历史学习 要看到趋势的变化和人性的不变 要防止自大
当下出版市场上,由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物,一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是,这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人,从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书,到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目,都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认,中国学者多...
评分 评分 评分罗马史向来有很多种写法,最受大众欢迎的显然是军事史和英雄史,政治史和“法治”史更学究一些,风俗史等等也有不少读者。在众多史著中,Beard的这部作品更显突出,作者在谋篇布局中,将元老院的角色放在了中心舞台上,各色人等鱼贯上下,与元老制产生互动,在互动的过程中,梳...
评分这本书非常易读,条理也清楚。是我读过有关罗马史的书里,最适合初学者的作品。如果只能读一本有关罗马史的书,那我同样推荐这本。但反过来说,有关罗马史,只读一本书是远远不够的。这本书同样有些可供进一步讨论,或者需要初学者注意的地方。 1、这本书有意识的回避了传统围...
