Rome: the Kingdom, the Republic, The EmpireClaudio Mollo
The document summarizes the history of ancient Rome and the Roman civilization. It describes the three main phases of Rome: the Kingdom (753-509 BC), the Republic (508-27 BC), and the Empire (27 BC-476 AD). It also discusses the influence of Greek culture on Rome, spreading Hellenistic values. Finally, it provides portraits and quotes of some influential Roman emperors and describes archaeological finds from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Bay of Naples that provide evidence of Roman civilization.
The document provides information on various ancient writing systems including:
1) Rock paintings from the Stone Age found in South Africa that depict humans and animals and are preserved in shades of ochre and white.
2) Cuneiform writing developed by the Sumerians around 3500 BC which used wedge-shaped markings pressed into wet clay tablets.
3) Egyptian hieroglyphics formed around 3000 BC with thousands of symbols representing ideas, objects, and sounds that were carved on walls and monuments.
4) The Greek alphabet developed around 1000 BC from the Phoenician alphabet and was adapted to represent vowels, increasing its accuracy for the Greek language. It evolved into modern scripts and was widely adopted.
The document provides background information on the origins of the Etruscan civilization in Italy. It discusses the debates between ancient historians like Herodotus and Dionysius of Halicarnassus on whether the Etruscans descended from migrants from Anatolia or were of local Italian origin. The document then goes on to describe the development of Etruscan cities and society in the 7th century BC, as well as their use of an alphabet and language that was unlike any other in Italy at the time. It notes that after the Roman conquest, the Etruscan language fell out of use.
The document discusses the history of Egyptian hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt through the Renaissance. It describes how Cleopatra was the last ruler of Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty and could speak Egyptian. It also discusses how obelisks were taken from Egypt to Rome and reset during the Renaissance. Scholars from antiquity through the 17th century struggled to interpret hieroglyphs, with some interpretations being correct and others incorrect.

The document provides a preface and list of plates and maps for "The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature" which was compiled and edited by S.P. Harvey. It was published in 1937 by the Clarendon Press in Oxford and aimed to provide convenient information for readers interested in the literatures of Greece and Rome as well as modern European literature containing classical allusions. The preface acknowledges the many sources consulted in preparing the book and thanks those who provided suggestions to improve the work.
The document provides historical context on the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs from the 17th to early 19th centuries. Key figures mentioned include Athanasius Kircher, who first studied Coptic; Jean-François Champollion, who deciphered Egyptian scripts in 1822; and Thomas Young and Johan David Åkerblad, who made partial progress in deciphering demotic script but did not solve it. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone was a major breakthrough, providing a multilingual text that could aid in decipherment.

This document discusses the history and situation of Cyprus, making the following key points in 3 sentences:
1) Cyprus has always been inhabited by a single ethnic group of Phoenician-Canaanite origin known as Cypriots, unlike Palestine which had two distinct ethnic groups of Palestinians and Jews.
2) The document argues that Cyprus's history has been falsified to portray it as Greek when in reality it was always part of various regional empires and its population spoke a local dialect closely related to the language of the Eastern Roman Empire.
3) It argues the best solution for Cyprus is a confederal, bi-zonal state without foreign interference that allows Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypri
The document provides a brief history of linguistics, beginning with the Phoenician alphabet and its influence on ancient Greek and Roman traditions. The Phoenicians developed one of the first alphabets around 1500 BC, using letters to represent sounds. Their alphabet spread and was adopted by the Greeks, who made further developments in linguistic analysis. Figures like Plato and Aristotle debated the origins of language and analyzed parts of speech. Roman grammarians then built upon Greek traditions, with scholars such as Varro and Donatus analyzing Latin morphology and rhetoric. The document traces the evolution of linguistic study from ancient civilizations to its foundations in modern linguistics.
This document discusses the origins and development of ancient civilizations in Europe and the Mediterranean. It provides evidence that early civilizations like Minoan Crete were Black civilizations, and that Black peoples were the original settlers of Europe. However, in the 19th century, white historians revised history to falsely portray Europeans as the indigenous peoples. The document examines archaeological, artistic and genetic evidence to show that Africa was the origin of the earliest European settlers and civilizations, contradicting the false, whitewashed history promoted by Europeans.

The three main schools of philosophy in ancient Rome were materialism, pluralism, and atomism.
Join me and us on the videoconference. The topîcs are deep and hot since we are dealing with how human beings tanks to language and arts managed to capture the symbolical dimension of reality. This means all mental and spiritual production of human beings from science to religion are symbolical of the mental power of Jomom Sapiens, a mental power in vast expansion for more than 300,000 years. He did not start from scratch but the very first step on this march was the invention of the rotation of vowels and consonants without which nothing was possible

The distribution of the word 'cripple' as a place name in england and walesKeith Armstrong
When you look on a map of locations for places which have 'Cripplegates' and add them to other locations which mention 'cripple' an interesting pattern emerges. The vast majority of these places are in the South East of England or the North West of England. None of them are north of the Humber. Clearly the word 'Cripplegate' is not a dialect word. As to its origin, it seems likely the word was first used when England and Wales were one entity.

The cart before the horse uk government policies, disability and employmentKeith Armstrong
The document discusses the history of UK government policies around disability and employment. It argues that current policies have undermined disabled people's access to education and jobs. Previous government initiatives in the 1940s-1980s aimed to increase disabled employment but had little impact. Studies in the 1980s found employers were less likely to respond to job applications from disabled individuals. While anti-discrimination laws were passed in 1995 and 2010, discrimination persists. The author concludes that meaningful reform is needed in education, employer attitudes, and support for independent living to improve employment prospects for the disabled.
Are wheelchair users really a fire risk by keith armstrongKeith Armstrong
This document discusses perceptions that wheelchair users pose a fire risk and the discrimination they face. It notes that while buildings require fire regulations, wheelchair users are not arsonists and there is no evidence they cause fires or endanger others. However, many disabled people have been denied access to venues and jobs due to the unsupported assumption that their wheelchairs pose a fire risk. The document argues this constitutes a violation of human rights and calls for fire regulations to be reviewed jointly by fire officials and disabled people.

3. Claudius I and the Etruscans
Claudius had a number of very strong connections with the Etruscans. His
contribution to Etruscan knowledge is almost always mentioned in the few books
published on this mysterious ancient European civilisation.
The Etruscans dominated central Italy before the Roman Republic was created and
remained a considerable influence there for a long time afterwards. Despite this, the origin
of the Etruscans remains unclear even today. Etruscan language is not of Indo-European
origin. Over the years linguists have made numerous claims to its origin including
Albanian, Anatolian, Aramaic, Armenian, Aztec, Basque, Finnish and Hungarian. The
Niger-Congo and even Easter Island have also been championed as its source. 1 In my
opinion, the discipline of linguistics is unable to resolve the issue on its own. While many
early archaeological significant sites were badly damaged, much has been revealed to us
within the past twenty years due in part to the increasing expertise of modern
archaeologists and linguists. Remains of the Etruscans have been found as far afield as
Cyprus, Crete and the Greek island of Lemnos. Isolated examples of Etruscan texts have
also been discovered in Provence and Tunisia.2 An Etruscan text was discovered in 1891 on
the restored linen wrappings from a female Egyptian mummy, which is now held in the
Zagreb Archaeological Museum in Croatia.3
Etruscan cities prospered in central Italy between the tenth and the first centuries BCE.
They influenced the course of history for both their Greek and Roman neighbours. The
Etruscan civilisation flourished on the west coast of central and northern Italy, with two of
Italy's rivers - the Arno and the Tiber - as its boundaries. The Tyrrhenian Sea to the west
was named after them by the Greeks, who knew them as Tyrrhenians. The name of the
modern region of Tuscany was derived from Tursci or Tusci, the Roman name for these
ancient people.4
Recent finds substantiate the theory that the Etruscan people existed from before the Iron
Age in Italy to the end of the Roman Republic-in chronological terms, from c.1200 to c.100
BCE. Many sites of the principal Etruscan cities of historical times were constantly
occupied from the Iron Age.5
Werner Keller, in his text The Etruscans, states that Etruscan antiquities are found
throughout Italy, from the once famous town of Spina on the Adriatic to the old Tuscan
countryside between the Arno and the Tiber, down to once Etruscan Pompei in Campania.
Etruscan trade and business used standardised weights and a currency of gold and copper
bars. They also had a decimal system of numeration. 6
4. In approximately 672 - 640 BCE, Albani (a local monarch) gave a speech recorded by Livy.
Albani is reported as having said:
[...] the magnitude of the Etruscan power which encompasses us, and you
especially, you are better aware than we, in proportion as you are nearer to
that people. Great is their strength on land, exceedingly great on the sea. You
must consider that the instant you give the signal for battle, the Tuscans will
be watching our two armies, so that, when we have become tired and
exhausted, they may attack at once the victor and the vanquished. In
Heaven's name, therefore, since we are not content with unquestioned
liberty, but are proceeding to the doubtful hazard of dominion or
enslavement, let us adopt some plan by which we may decide the question
which nation shall rule the other, without a great disaster and much carnage
on both sides.7
Albert Grenier writing on the Etruscan influence on Latin considers that:
The Etruscan pronunciation confused the voiced G and the mute C; therefore
it was in Etruria that the Greek y was used for the sound intermediate
between G and C which existed in the Etruscan language. The Romans, on
the contrary, never confused voiced consonants with mute ones. The proof of
it is that they introduced into the alphabet the new sign G to indicate the
voiced guttural. If the confusion, which did not exist in pronunciation,
remained for a time in writing, it was because the writing was of Etruscan
origin.8
Grenier states that the Etruscan alphabet used the sign C. If Rome had taken her alphabet
directly from the Greeks, the third letter C would always have kept the value G, and K
would have been used for the mute guttural. Therefore the Romans must have been taught
to write by the Etruscans, in the 6th century BCE, at the latest, since the alphabet
maintained by the Romans had disappeared from Etruscan use by the beginning of the 5th
century BCE.9
Helmut Rix states in the Cambridge Encyclopaedia of the World’s Ancient
Languages that:
The Etruscan writing system is an alphabet, which was created at the end of the
eighth century [BCE] in several local variants, from an alphabet of West Greek
origin; it was taught in scribal schools and is attested in inscriptions. [...] Of the
early archaic texts some are written from left to right and some from right to
left. Around 600 [BCE] the direction from right to left became standard and
was only reversed occasionally in the first century under Latin influence.10
Giuliano Bonfante, in The Etruscan Language: an Introduction, considers that
women's studies has become especially relevant in understanding Etruscan civilisation.
The three thousand or so bronze mirrors, many engraved with figured representations and
often inscribed, were an Etruscan speciality, produced in workshops between c. 500 and
200 BCE. They indicate the literacy and culture of the women for whom they were made,
who used them in their lifetime and took them to their graves after their death; women
whose names showed them to have had a different legal and social status from the women
of Rome.
5. Etruscan women played an important role in writing, they used the metaphor of weaving
for the development of writing. There is also some evidence in favour of the earliest
inscriptions coming from women's graves, and many inscriptions are found on implements
for wool-working, spools, or loomweights.11 Rix holds that unlike the Indo-European
languages with whom it was in contact, Etruscan had no grammatical gender. The female
sex was indicated by a suffix, borrowed from Italic, and was used under Italic influence
with family names that were in origin adjectives: for example, Tarna-i.12
Some Etruscan numeral characters have the same shape as the Roman ones derived from
them: for example I = "1" and X = "10". The Etruscan symbol for the number "5" is ٨
representing the outline of a hand with five digits b (4 fingers and a thumb). It was
reversed to make the Roman V. The numeral X is at one and the same time a symbol for
the outstretched fingers of two hands and a letter for the initial sound of Etruscan sar.13
As the Romans expanded, the fatalistic Etruscans declined, however certain Etruscan
traditions were preserved by the Romans. Spurinna (a well-known Etruscan name)
became famous for having warned Julius Caesar about the danger of the Ides of March,
(traditionally celebrated on the 15th of March), on the basis of a 'reading' of the liver and
other entrails of a sacrificed animal.14
This drawing represents the circular end of the theatre of Marcellus now exists in partial
ruins in Rome. There was originally a third storey of the Corinthian order which has
entirely disappeared through time.
Etruscan haruspex inspecting the
entrails of an animal for the purpose of
predicting events from their appearances,
known as Extispictium.15
The haruspex or harus'pica (female) - plural haruspices, literally meaning
"gut-gazer", was a person who carried out haruspicy, a form of divination. The
Haruspices were originally Etruscan diviners, believed to be interpreters of the wills of the
gods. They came to rival and overlap with the role of augurs, although they had no
religious authority in Rome and were probably not organised into a college until the
Roman empire. This college (ordo hamspicium) consisted of sixty haruspices and was
headed by the chief haruspex (known as a summus, primarius or maximus haruspex).
6. Haruspices interpreted three main events: the entrails from sacrificed animals (exta, a
process known as extispicium), unnatural phenomena (monstra—portents and prodigies,
from monere, "to warn") and flashes of lightning (fulgura), all of which were regarded as
indications of the wills of the gods (prodigies and lightning being warnings). Entrails were
interpreted by the colour, markings and shape of the liver and gallbladder, and there is
some evidence that models of livers were used in the training of haruspices.
Haruspices had many other key rites such as town planning, water divination (in which
they were reported to be very successful) and their annual ritual of fixing a sacred nail in a
temple wall as a symbol of time.
Perhaps one of the most memorable lines in William Shakespeare's play 'Julius Caesar'
(1599) is the simple statement:
Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry ‘Caesar’. Speak; Caesar is turned to hear.
soothsayer: Beware the ides of March. [Act 1, sc. 2, l. 15.]
Shakespeare also uses the word 'soothsayer' in his play Antony and Cleopatra. His
source for both plays was from translations of the work of Plutarch who only wrote his
historical text in the Greek language. Neither Plutarch or Shakespeare actually give the
name of the soothsayer or any information as to his origin.
However, the probable source could still be traced to Suetonius who wrote on Julius Caesar
at this time in his Svetoni Tranqvilii Vita Divi Ivli that:
[...] et immolantem haruspex Spurinna monuit, caueret periculum,
quod non ultra Martias Idus proferretur.16
J. C. Rolfe translates this text as:
[...] the soothsayer Spurinna warned him to beware of danger,
which would come not later than the Ides of March: 17
A simple reading of this translation does not reveal that Spurinna was an Etruscan, but as
far as we know the role of haruspex was exclusive to the Etruscans. Spurinna was
personally employed by Julius Caesar, who took no notice of this caution and was duly
assassinated on the 15th of March. Spurinna is also mentioned by Pliny the Elder, while
Plutarch and Dio frequently refer to the warning, although without mention of Spurinna's
name.
7. An inscribed bronze tablet was discovered in 1524 in Lyons. Its Latin text is a segment of a
speech made by the emperor Claudius to a convened Roman senate in 48 CE. Werner
Keller writes that:
"Servius Tullius," begins Claudius, "was, if we follow our Roman sources, the
son of Ocrisia, a prisoner of war." But then the emperor goes on: "If we follow
Etruscan sources, he was a loyal friend of Caelius Vibenna and his
companion in all his ventures." Claudius then gives the Etruscan version,
according to which Servius Tullius came from Etruria with the remains of
Caelius's army, and occupied a hill in Rome henceforth named accordingly
the Caelian. He then changed his name-it was Mastarna in Etruscan-to
Servius Tullius and became king of Rome, "to its great advantage." 18
Keller continues:
This statement, coming from an emperor, created something of a sensation.
There could be no doubt about the expert authority of the speaker. For
Claudius was a historian who knew his subject inside out. Long before he
became emperor, [...] he had devoted himself with passionate enthusiasm to
learning. He was above all interested in a subject which Roman authors had
always studiously neglected, even though it was closely connected with
Rome's own history, namely the past of the Etruscans. 19
Keller suggests that:
The deeds of the great, ancient people had begun to fade from memory,
when unexpectedly the ranks of its enemy and conqueror produced a man
who put together everything important that could still be discovered about
the Etruscans' past. [...] The story of how he came to do this begins in the
lifetime of Augustus. One of the ladies often seen at the imperial court was
Urgulania. She was, as is clearly proved by the recent discovery of her name
in an inscription at Tarquinia, a member of an Etruscan noble family. She
was a close friend of Livia, the emperor's wife, and as such enjoyed so
privileged a position that, as Tacitus puts it, she was placed "above the law."
20
8. Arcuatus currus

This example is from a painting in an Etruscan tomb. 21
When Claudius was a young boy, Emperor Augustus proposed that the grandson of Livia's
friend Urgulania, Plautius Silvanus should escort him to functions to see that he did not
get into trouble or do anything inapproptiate. Silvanus's sister Plautia Urgulanilla later
became Claudius's first wife. This marriage closely connected Claudius with some of the
last members of the Etruscan aristocracy.22
Bonfante states that:
The scholarly emperor Claudius studied with Livy, whose early books
preserve information on the Etruscans. Claudius wrote in Greek a history
of the Etruscans, Tyrrhenika, in twenty volumes: they would have been
a precious resource for us, and in fact his reference to Mastarna and to
Etruscans who became Roman citizens is preserved in one of his speeches. 23
Keller adds that:
Claudius, [...] insist[ed] that the "oldest Italian art" should not die out. In a
speech to the senate in 47 [CE], of which fragments have survived, he
proposed the establishment of a college of Etruscan soothsayers
(haruspices). He recalled that "Leading Etruscans, on their own initiative—
or the Roman senate's —have kept up the art and handed it down from father
to son."
But what still existed in imperial times was subsequently lost. Not a single
document has survived, either in the original Etruscan or in Latin
translation.
It is hard to believe that this was the result of pure chance. It seems highly
likely that what was considered a dangerous inheritance from "pagan" times
was the victim of deliberate, systematic destruction. With the emergence of
Christianity there began a ruthless war on all the ancient religions and cults.
24
9. The later Christian emperor, Theodosius I [The Great] (347-395 CE), issued a decree in
392 CE that imposed heavy penalties on any kind of haruspicy. Anyone who sacrificed an
animal and consulted the entrails for the intention of divination incurred the same
punishment as for high treason and might well be burned alive. 25 The renowned library of
Alexandria was deliberately burned down, resulting in a tremendous loss of knowledge for
all humanity. It is not known if Claudius' texts perished at this time, conceivably they were
destroyed during the earlier reign of Nero.
After the death of Theodosius in 395 CE, the control of the Roman empire was shared
between his two sons (it was never to reunite again). The western empire was given over to
Honorius (384 - 423 CE). Shortly afterwards, the famed and most significant Etruscan
sacred text Etrusca Disciplina, was publicly burned in Rome. In 405, Pope
Innocentius (Innocent) I proclaimed a list of prohibited books. 26
Emperor Honorius was one of the most incompetent leaders the Romans ever had. In 409
CE or 410 CE, he lost the Roman governance of Britain, which had been for three hundred
and sixty-seven continuous years under Roman rule, ever since Claudius's invasion.
Roman occupation had finally ended. 27
That same year the Visigoths army edged on to the city of Rome itself. The Etruscan
haruspex volunteered their help to Innocent I, claiming that they could bring down
lightning on the enemy and thus save the city. The soothsayers insisted that their ritual be
held in public, and that the ancient pre-Christian sacrifices should be carried out in the
capitol, but the senate was not prepared to allow this.
Count Zosimus, the eminent sixth century historian wrote:
[...] the Romans, [...] despairing therefore of all things that conduce to
human strength, called to mind the aid which the city had formerly met with
in emergencies; and that they, by transgressing their ancient institutions,
were now left destitute of it. While they were occupied in these reflections,
Pompeianus, the prefect of the city, accidentally met with some persons who
were come to Rome from Tuscany, and related that a town called Neveia had
delivered itself from extreme danger, the Barbarian having been repulsed
from it by storms of thunder and lightning, which was caused by the devotion
of its inhabitants to the gods, in the ancient mode of worship. Having
discoursed with these men, he performed all that was in his power according
to the books of the chief priests. Recollecting, however, the opinions that
were then prevalent, he resolved to proceed with greater caution, and
proposed the whole affair to the bishop of the city, whose name was
Innocentius. Preferring the preservation of the city to his own private
opinion, he gave them permission to do privately whatever they knew to be
convenient. They declared however that what they were able to do would be
of no utility, unless the public and customary sacrifices were performed, and
unless the senate ascended to the capitol, performing there, and in the
different markets of the city, all that was essential. But no person daring to
join in the ancient religions ordinances, they dismissed the men who were
come from Tuscany, and applied themselves to the endeavouring to appease
the Barbarians in the best possible manner. 28
10. The fact that the proposal was made and discussed with Innocentius I shows how earnestly
the Etruscan doctrine was still taken in the beginning of the fifth century. The city of Rome
fell and was sacked on the 24th of August, 410 CE and the once famous Etruscan talent of
divination vanished from history. Honorius fled to his new capital of Ravenna. The Roman
empire never fully recovered from the incident.
As mentioned earlier, Claudius' historical texts may have perished in the time of Nero.
However, Albert Grenier suggests that Claudius may very well be the source of the
statements about the Etruscans used by Roman writers such as Tacitus and the minor
historian Festus. 29
Not a single written chapter of their ancient Etruscan history was preserved in Italy, along
with Claudius's unique historical text. If a single copy or even a reasonable fragment of
Claudius's history of the Etruscan people is ever found, it will help resolve many tantalising
questions that still puzzle archaeologists, historians and linguists in the 21st century. 30
Keller concludes that:
No other European people has been as neglected as the Etruscans, and the
legacy of no other group has been so systematically destroyed. It is as though
posterity had conspired to erase every trace of a nation whose pioneer
activity constituted the first major chapter in the history of the West. 31
