Livy, History of Rome 3.44-55
44. [What is Appius' plot to get access to Verginia?]
This [episode in which the decemviri plotted the murder of Siccius, a military
commander who had been encouraging resistance to the decemviri] was followed by
a second atrocity, the result of brutal lust, which occurred in the City and led to
consequences no less tragic than the outrage and death of Lucretia, which had
brought about the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus. Not only was the end of the
decemvirs the same as that of the kings, but the cause of their losing their power
was the same in each case. [2] Appius Claudius had conceived a guilty passion
for a girl of plebeian birth. The girl's father, L. Verginius, held a high rank in the
army on Algidus; he was a man of exemplary character both at home and in the field.
[3] His wife had been brought up on equally high principles, and their children were
being brought up in the same way. He had betrothed his daughter to Lucius Icilius,
who had been tribune, an active and energetic man whose courage had been proved
in his battles for the plebs. [4] This girl, now in the bloom of her youth and beauty,
excited Appius' passions, and he tried to prevail on her by presents and promises.
When he found that her virtue was proof against all temptation, he had recourse to
unscrupulous and brutal violence. [5] He commissioned a client, Marcus
Claudius, to claim the girl as his slave, and to bar any claim on the part of her
friends to retain possession of her till the case was tried, as he thought that the
father's absence afforded a good opportunity for this illegal action. [in Roman law at
this time the person was presumed to be free until the claim of slavery was proved in
court] [6] As the girl was going to her school in the Forum —the grammar schools
were held in booths there —the decemvir's pander [minister libidinis, literally
'assistant of lust'] laid his hand upon her, declaring that she was the daughter of a
slave of his, and a slave herself. [7] He then ordered her to follow him, and
threatened, if she hesitated, to carry her off by force. While the girl was stupefied
with terror, her maid's shrieks, invoking ‘the protection of the Quirites,’ [=
'assemblymen of Rome, citizens, supposedly from the roots co+vir men together]
drew a crowd together. The names of her father Verginius and her betrothed lover,
Icilius, were held in universal respect. [8] Regard for them brought their friends,
feelings of indignation brought the crowd to the maiden's support. She was now safe
from violence; the man who claimed her said that he was proceeding according to
law, not by violence, there was no need for any excited gathering. [9] He summoned
the girl into court. Her supporters advised her to follow him; they came before the
tribunal of Appius. The claimant repeated a story already perfectly familiar to the
judge as he was the author of the plot, how the girl had been born.

LMP1 IO and Filesystems=========================Welcome .docxmanningchassidy
LMP1: I/O and Filesystems
=========================
Welcome to LMP1, the first long MP. LMP1 is the first stage of a project aimed
at creating a simple yet functional networked filesystem. In this MP, you will
learn about and use POSIX file system calls, while subsequent LMPs will
introduce memory management, messaging, and networking functionality. If you
implement all parts of this MP correctly, you will be able to reuse your code
for future MPs.
This first LMP concentrates on the file I/O portion of the project.
Specifically, you will implement a custom filesystem and test its performance
using a filesystem benchmark. A benchmark is an application used to test the
performance of some aspect of the system. We will be using Bonnie, a real
filesystem benchmark, to test various performance aspects of the filesystem we
implement.
LMP1 consists of four steps:
1. Read the code; run the Bonnie benchmark and the LMP1 test suite.
2. Implement Test Suite 1 functionality, encompassing basic file I/O operations.
3. Implement Test Suite 2-4 functionality (directory operations, file
creation/deletion, and recursive checksumming).
4. Modify Bonnie to use your client-server file I/O methods.
Code structure
--------------
The code for this project is structured according to the client-server
model. The client code (filesystem benchmark) will interact with the
server (filesystem) only through interface functions defined in
fileio.h:
int file_read(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_info(char *path, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_write(char *path, int offset, void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_create(char *path,char *pattern, int repeatcount);
int file_remove(char *path);
int dir_create(char *path);
int dir_list(char *path,void *buffer, size_t bufbytes);
int file_checksum(char *path);
int dir_checksum(char *path);
These functions represent a simple interface to our filesystem. In Steps 2 and
3 of this MP, you will write the code for functions implementing this interface,
replacing the stub code in fileio.c. In Step 4, you will modify a Bonnie method
to use this interface, rather than calling the normal POSIX I/O functions
directly. The purpose of Step 4 is to help test our implementation.
Step 1: Understanding the code
------------------------------
1. Compile the project, execute Bonnie and the test framework.
Note: you may need to add execute permissions to the .sh files using
the command "chmod +x *.sh".
Try the following:
make
./lmp1
(this runs the Bonnie benchmark - it may take a little while)
./lmp1 -test suite1
(run Test Suite 1 - this has to work for stage1)
make test
(run all tests - this has to work for stage2)
2. Read through the provided .c and .h files and understand how this
project is organized:
bonnie.c - a version of the filesystem benchmark
fileio.c - file I/O functions to be implemented
fileio.h - declaration o.

Rough draft - Afrocentricity
Also known as Afrocentric, Afrocentricity is the study of the history of the world that focuses on the history of the current African descent. Afrocentricity refers to an African initiative culture that attempts to bring Africa to the center of the whole thing. This is regarding everything that began in Africa yet comprehensively; they are said to be Africa-American based. Furthermore, Afrocentricity has been employed significantly to scholarly work where Africans need acknowledgment as they are the ones putting effort on the works coming from Africa. Similarly, the fact that they have a broad scope of masterminds who are capable and have had the option to think of scholarly work, Afrocentricity at its most straightforward attempts to put Africa as a continent at the focal point, all things considered, attempts to put African history within proper context rather than Europe assuming the acknowledgment in what it has not done and accomplished. In this manner, this point of view ought not to be viewed as attempting to put African at any predominance but the way that Africa's source, culture, and conduct ought to be valued (Ince). (I would follow up with explaining the significance of this reference) (unclear thesis) Comment by Claire E Logan: I would use a different definition--afrocentricity is a framework, not an actual study Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing--would scrap the whole sentence Comment by Claire E Logan: confusing-- re-word
The exponents of Afrocentrism support the statement that the contributions made by black African people have been discredited as part of the history of colonialism and the pathology of slavery, more so in the act writing Africans out of history. Afrocentricity has its own critics, some of the critics such as Mary Lefkowitz, term who describe Afrocentricity to be obstinately therapeutic as well as pseudohistory (reference needed). Other critics, like Kwame Appiah, view Afrocentricity as a strategy to disrupt the history of the world by trying to replace Eurocentricity with a curriculum that is hierarchical and ethnocentric (reference needed). The critics in support of this approach also claim that Afrocentricity negatively portrays the culture of Europe and people of European descent. (I would take a stance here by disproving these critiques in a way that addresses your thesis)
Afrocentricity is followed back to the African-American who was brought up in Europe after Africa nations were colonized, and some were sold as captives to the European countries (unclear sentence). Afrocentricity is dated back to the 19th century and the early 20th century. It is believed to be the work of intellectuals of Africans in Africa and those in the diaspora as well (a. It was a reform brought about by social reforms in Africa and the United States of America after the end o.

Solitary reading
& text analysis
In solitary reading ‘the written literary text is the substance of the discourse; it is the language which cues text-worlds in the readers’ minds’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 37);
The language of the text determines which schemas readers need to draw on in order to comprehend the text;
The purpose of (cognitive) stylistic approaches to literature ‘is to explicate how the interplay between written text and reader results in a particular interpretation or emotional response to the extract under discussion’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 38; emphasis added).

Reading as an emotional experience:
The Shock of the Fall
Costa award for best first novel
Experimental text: manipulates text and images
Central themes: grief, mental illness
Matt Homes, a 19-year-old schizophrenic struggling within the mental health system, is conducting his own writing therapy, urgently bashing out his thoughts on an old typewriter and interspersing them with letters, doodles and sketches. [The novel] is beautifully packaged, with drawings, varying typefaces and typographical tricks representing Matt's swelling bundle of papers. It is a gripping, exhilarating read.
(Feay 2014; Guardian review)

Experimental fiction
Destabilize the real world
Subvert a sense of the normal
Introduce debates about the status of the text and the act of writing
Present different world views
Have free playing voices none of which is privileged
Engage with the moving play of signifiers to construct endless cycles of meaning
Employ intrusion into the text by the narrator and/or author
Experiment with form and typography
Develop new ways of seeing
Apply multiple discourses
Mix and/ or subvert genres
Provoke the reader to consider new ideas and concepts
Imagine alternative realities
Use metaphoric qualities
Engage the reader on an intellectual/philosophical level

Solitary reading
& text analysis
In solitary reading ‘the written literary text is the substance of the discourse; it is the language which cues text-worlds in the readers’ minds’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 37);
The language of the text determines which schemas readers need to draw on in order to comprehend the text;
The purpose of (cognitive) stylistic approaches to literature ‘is to explicate how the interplay between written text and reader results in a particular interpretation or emotional response to the extract under discussion’ (Peplow et al. 2016: 38; emphasis added).

Reading as an emotional experience:
The Shock of the Fall
Costa award for best first novel
Experimental text: manipulates text and images
Central themes: grief, mental illness
Matt Homes, a 19-year-old schizophrenic struggling within the mental health system, is conducting his own writing therapy, urgently bashing out his thoughts on an old typewriter and interspersing them with letters, doodles and sketches. [The novel] is beautifully packaged, with drawings, varying typefaces and typographical tricks representing Matt's swelling bundle of papers. It is a gripping, exhilarating read.

Literature Review
You are to write a
1200 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

Summary of Clinical Issue
The clinical issue, in this case, is patient infections. Hospitals have always been a place of refuge for patients but there is a worrying fact about infections in hospitals. Some of the patients are taken to the hospital to get better but they leave with more infections than they came in with. The issue of infections in hospitals is motivated by two major factors. The first factor is associated with medical errors. Most of the infections which occur in hospitals affect people who have gone through surgeries are people who are receiving blood, water, and food through tubes. It, therefore, means that in most cases, doctors are responsible for infections. When the inner body organs are exposed to the environment, they get exposed to germs and germs increase the chances of infections. The second factor that supports infections is hygiene in the hospital. A hospital is a sensitive place and therefore, there is a dire need to make sure that it is hygienically fit for patients. Dirt has the ability to increase high exposure to infections. Contaminated foods and drinks increase the chances of infections. It is essential to note that the cleanliness of the water and other equipment that is used in hospitals is imperative.

In hospital infections, can improved hospital hygiene reduces the number of hospital infections among patients of all ages in the next twelve months

Literary Analysis on Mending Wall” by Robert Frost The .docxmanningchassidy
Literary Analysis on “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost
The poem,”Mending Wall”, was written by Robert Frost, an American poet. The poem
was created according to rural New England’s setting, where Frost lived at that time. The poem
adapted the characteristics of the characteristics and rituals of the country. The poem describes a
ritual where the speaker and a neighbor met to rebuild a wall made of stone between their
properties, “And on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again”
(Frost, 1914). The ritual brings out the main idea of the poem, which is the value of boundaries
between people and the importance of human labor.
Robert Frost wrote “Mending Wall” during a period in the 19th century characterized by
literary modernism. It reacts to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 19h century,
and in the upcoming modern world. Frost in his poem tries to bring out the excitement of
literature while cultivating innovation. The writer makes use of symbols in form of literature to
describe the poem. “The frozen ground swell”, (Frost, 1914) as he says, describes the frost,
which is an unsettling force in “Mending Wall”, acts as a damaging object which knocks out
large parts of the wall. The frost is described to be strange, as the writer says, “No one has seen
them made or heard them made.”(Frost, 1914) The strange force behind the frost carries a
significant meaning in the poem. The frost and its strange force signify nature and its effect on
humans. In other terms, things created by human beings are temporary as opposed to nature
which is pulled by its own natural forces.
The spring, traditionally used to refer to rebirth, is used in the poem to symbolize
renewal: “But at spring mending-time we find them there.” (Frost, 1914) Renewal is
demonstrated when the speaker and the neighbor take part in rebuilding the wall. Additionally,
the poem elaborates the value of human work, which creates a feeling of renewal, just as the wall
in the poem is rebuilt every spring. The fence in the poem not only symbolizes the border
between two properties, but also divisions that exist between humans. The poem raises questions
whether borders separate people with existing relationships or whether creating boundaries is
important in establishing a peaceful coexistence. The cows carry an important meaning in the
poem,”Mending Wall.” The speaker explains something wider and deeper when he announces,
“Where there are cows? But here there are no cows”. (Frost, 1914) The lack of cows signify the
absence of conflict; the speaker and the neighbor use their properties for different purposes but
do not conflict over resources, meaning that there is no need of fear. They can live peacefully
with or without a wall between them.
The poem “Mending Wall has its heart at explaining about borders, the struggle to
maintain them and its impact on human beings. Throughout the poem,.

What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

Summary of Clinical Issue
The clinical issue, in this case, is patient infections. Hospitals have always been a place of refuge for patients but there is a worrying fact about infections in hospitals. Some of the patients are taken to the hospital to get better but they leave with more infections than they came in with. The issue of infections in hospitals is motivated by two major factors. The first factor is associated with medical errors. Most of the infections which occur in hospitals affect people who have gone through surgeries are people who are receiving blood, water, and food through tubes. It, therefore, means that in most cases, doctors are responsible for infections. When the inner body organs are exposed to the environment, they get exposed to germs and germs increase the chances of infections. The second factor that supports infections is hygiene in the hospital. A hospital is a sensitive place and therefore, there is a dire need to make sure that it is hygienically fit for patients. Dirt has the ability to increase high exposure to infections. Contaminated foods and drinks increase the chances of infections. It is essential to note that the cleanliness of the water and other equipment that is used in hospitals is imperative.

In hospital infections, can improved hospital hygiene reduces the number of hospital infections among patients of all ages in the next twelve months

Literary Analysis on Mending Wall” by Robert Frost The .docxmanningchassidy
Literary Analysis on “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost
The poem,”Mending Wall”, was written by Robert Frost, an American poet. The poem
was created according to rural New England’s setting, where Frost lived at that time. The poem
adapted the characteristics of the characteristics and rituals of the country. The poem describes a
ritual where the speaker and a neighbor met to rebuild a wall made of stone between their
properties, “And on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again”
(Frost, 1914). The ritual brings out the main idea of the poem, which is the value of boundaries
between people and the importance of human labor.
Robert Frost wrote “Mending Wall” during a period in the 19th century characterized by
literary modernism. It reacts to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 19h century,
and in the upcoming modern world. Frost in his poem tries to bring out the excitement of
literature while cultivating innovation. The writer makes use of symbols in form of literature to
describe the poem. “The frozen ground swell”, (Frost, 1914) as he says, describes the frost,
which is an unsettling force in “Mending Wall”, acts as a damaging object which knocks out
large parts of the wall. The frost is described to be strange, as the writer says, “No one has seen
them made or heard them made.”(Frost, 1914) The strange force behind the frost carries a
significant meaning in the poem. The frost and its strange force signify nature and its effect on
humans. In other terms, things created by human beings are temporary as opposed to nature
which is pulled by its own natural forces.
The spring, traditionally used to refer to rebirth, is used in the poem to symbolize
renewal: “But at spring mending-time we find them there.” (Frost, 1914) Renewal is
demonstrated when the speaker and the neighbor take part in rebuilding the wall. Additionally,
the poem elaborates the value of human work, which creates a feeling of renewal, just as the wall
in the poem is rebuilt every spring. The fence in the poem not only symbolizes the border
between two properties, but also divisions that exist between humans. The poem raises questions
whether borders separate people with existing relationships or whether creating boundaries is
important in establishing a peaceful coexistence. The cows carry an important meaning in the
poem,”Mending Wall.” The speaker explains something wider and deeper when he announces,
“Where there are cows? But here there are no cows”. (Frost, 1914) The lack of cows signify the
absence of conflict; the speaker and the neighbor use their properties for different purposes but
do not conflict over resources, meaning that there is no need of fear. They can live peacefully
with or without a wall between them.
The poem “Mending Wall has its heart at explaining about borders, the struggle to
maintain them and its impact on human beings. Throughout the poem,.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Livy, History of Rome 3.44-55 44. [What is Appius plot t.docx
1. Livy, History of Rome 3.44-55
44. [What is Appius' plot to get access to Verginia?]
This [episode in which the decemviri plotted the murder of
Siccius, a military
commander who had been encouraging resistance to the
decemviri] was followed by
a second atrocity, the result of brutal lust, which occurred in the
City and led to
consequences no less tragic than the outrage and death of
Lucretia, which had
brought about the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus. Not only
was the end of the
decemvirs the same as that of the kings, but the cause of their
losing their power
was the same in each case. [2] Appius Claudius had conceived a
guilty passion
for a girl of plebeian birth. The girl's father, L. Verginius, held
a high rank in the
army on Algidus; he was a man of exemplary character both at
home and in the field.
[3] His wife had been brought up on equally high principles,
and their children were
being brought up in the same way. He had betrothed his
daughter to Lucius Icilius,
who had been tribune, an active and energetic man whose
courage had been proved
in his battles for the plebs. [4] This girl, now in the bloom of
her youth and beauty,
excited Appius' passions, and he tried to prevail on her by
presents and promises.
When he found that her virtue was proof against all temptation,
2. he had recourse to
unscrupulous and brutal violence. [5] He commissioned a client,
Marcus
Claudius, to claim the girl as his slave, and to bar any claim on
the part of her
friends to retain possession of her till the case was tried, as he
thought that the
father's absence afforded a good opportunity for this illegal
action. [in Roman law at
this time the person was presumed to be free until the claim of
slavery was proved in
court] [6] As the girl was going to her school in the Forum —
the grammar schools
were held in booths there —the decemvir's pander [minister
libidinis, literally
'assistant of lust'] laid his hand upon her, declaring that she
was the daughter of a
slave of his, and a slave herself. [7] He then ordered her to
follow him, and
threatened, if she hesitated, to carry her off by force. While the
girl was stupefied
with terror, her maid's shrieks, invoking ‘the protection of the
Quirites,’ [=
'assemblymen of Rome, citizens, supposedly from the roots
co+vir men together]
drew a crowd together. The names of her father Verginius and
her betrothed lover,
Icilius, were held in universal respect. [8] Regard for them
brought their friends,
feelings of indignation brought the crowd to the maiden's
support. She was now safe
from violence; the man who claimed her said that he was
proceeding according to
law, not by violence, there was no need for any excited
gathering. [9] He summoned
the girl into court. Her supporters advised her to follow him;
3. they came before the
tribunal of Appius. The claimant repeated a story already
perfectly familiar to the
judge as he was the author of the plot, how the girl had been
born in his house,
stolen from there, transferred to the house of Verginius and
fathered on him; [10]
these allegations would be supported by definite evidence, and
he would prove them
to the satisfaction of Verginius himself, who was really most
concerned, as an injury
had been done to him. Meanwhile, he urged, it was only right
that a slave girl should
follow her master. [11] The girl's advocates contended that
Verginius was absent on
the service of the State, he would be present in two days' time if
information were
sent to him, and it was contrary to equity that in his absence he
should incur risk with
regard to his children. [12] They demanded that he should
adjourn the whole of the
proceedings till the father's arrival, and in accordance with the
law which he himself
had enacted, grant the custody of the girl to those who asserted
her freedom, and
not suffer a maiden of ripe age to incur danger to her reputation
before her liberty
was put in danger.
45. [Appius is a judge: what decision does Appius
make about Verginia in court?]
4. Before giving judgment, Appius showed how liberty was upheld
by that very law to
which the friends of Verginia had appealed in support of their
demand. [2] But, he
went on to say, it guaranteed liberty only so far as its provisions
were strictly adhered
to as regarded both persons and cases. For where personal
freedom is the matter of
claim, that provision holds good, because any one can lawfully
plead, but in the case
of one who is still in her father's power, there is none but her
father to whom her
master need renounce possession. [3] His decision, therefore,
was that the father
should be summoned, and in the meanwhile the man who
claimed her should not
forego his right to take the girl and give security to produce her
on the arrival of her
reputed father. [i.e. the person who claimed she was a slave
could take custody of
her until her father returned]
[4] The injustice of this sentence called forth many murmurs,
but no one ventured on
open protest, until P. Numitorius, the girl's grandfather, and
Icilius, her betrothed,
appeared on the scene. [5] The intervention of Icilius seemed to
offer the best
chance of stopping Appius, and the crowd made way for Icilius.
The lictor said that
judgment had been given, and as Icilius continued loudly
protesting the lictor
attempted to remove him. [6] Such rank injustice would have
fired even a gentle
temper. Icilius exclaimed, ‘I am, at your orders, Appius, to be
5. removed at the point of
the sword, that you may stifle all comment on what you want to
keep concealed. [7] I
am going to marry this maiden, and I am determined to have a
chaste wife. Summon
all the lictors of all your colleagues, give orders for their axes
and rods to be in
readiness —the betrothed of Icilius shall not remain outside her
father's house. [8]
Even if you have deprived us of the two pillars of our liberty —
the aid of our tribunes
and the right of appeal to the Roman plebs —that has given you
no right to our wives
and children, the victims of your lust. [9] Vent your cruelty
upon our backs and necks;
let female honour at least be safe. If violence is offered to this
girl, I shall invoke the
aid of the Quirites here for my betrothed, Verginius that of the
soldiers for his only
daughter; [10] we shall all invoke the aid of gods and men, and
you shall not carry
out that judgment except at the cost of our lives. [11] Reflect,
Appius, I demand of
you, whither you are going! When Verginius has come, he must
decide what action
to take about his daughter; if he submits to this man's claim, he
must look out
another husband for her. Meantime I will vindicate her liberty at
the price of my life,
sooner than sacrifice my honour.’
46. [What is Appius' allegation about Icilius,
6. Verginia's fiancé?]
The people were excited and a conflict appeared imminent. [2]
The lictors had closed
round Icilius, but matters had not got beyond threats on both
sides when Appius
declared that it was not the defence of Verginia that was Icilius'
main object; a
restless intriguer, even yet breathing the spirit of the
tribuneship, was looking
out for a chance of creating sedition. [3] He would not,
however, afford him
material for it that day, but that he might allow that it was not
to his insolence that he
was making a concession, but to the absent Verginius, to the
name of father, and to
liberty, he would not adjudicate on that day, or issue any
decree. He would ask M.
Claudius to forego his right, and allow the girl to be in the
custody of her friends
till the next day. [4] If the father did not then appear, he warned
Icilius and men of
his stamp that neither as legislator would he be disloyal to his
own law, nor as
decemvir would he lack firmness to execute it. He certainly
would not call upon the
lictors of his colleagues to repress the ringleaders of sedition,
he should be content
with his own. [5] The time for perpetrating this illegality was
thus postponed, and
after the girl's supporters had withdrawn, it was decided as the
very first thing to be
done that the brother of Icilius and one of Numitor's sons, both
active youths, should
make their way straight to the gate and summon Verginius from
the camp with all
7. possible speed. [6] They knew that the girl's safety turned upon
her protector against
lawlessness being present in time. They started on their mission,
and riding at full
speed brought the news to the father. [7] While the claimant of
the girl was pressing
Icilius to enter his plea and name his sureties, and Icilius kept
asserting that this very
thing was being arranged, purposely spinning out the time to
allow of his
messengers getting first to the camp, the crowd everywhere held
up their hands to
show that every one of them was ready to be security for him.
[8] With tears in his
eyes, he said, ‘It is most kind of you. To-morrow I may need
your help, now I have
sufficient securities.’ So Verginia was released on bail on the
security of her
relatives.
[9] Appius remained for some time on the bench, to avoid the
appearance of having
taken his seat for that one case only. When he found that owing
to the universal
interest in this one case no other suitors appeared, he withdrew
to his home and
wrote to his colleagues in camp not to grant leave of absence to
Verginius, and
actually to keep him under arrest. [10] This wicked advice came
too late, as it
deserved to do; Verginius had already obtained leave, and
started in the first
8. watch. The letter ordering his detention was delivered the next
morning, and was
therefore useless.
47.
In Rome, the citizens were standing in the Forum in the early
dawn, on the tiptoe of
expectation. Verginius, in mourning garb, brought his daughter,
similarly attired, and
accompanied by a number of matrons, into the Forum. An
immense body of
sympathisers stood round him. [2] He went amongst the people,
took them by the
hand and appealed to them to help him, not out of compassion
only but because
they owed it to him; he was at the front day by day, in defence
of their children and
their wives; of no man could they recount more numerous deeds
of endurance and
of daring than of him. What good was it all, he asked, if while
the City was safe,
their children were exposed to what would be their worst fate if
it were actually
captured? Men gathered round him, whilst he spoke as though
he were addressing
the Assembly. [3] Icilius followed in the same strain. The
women who accompanied
him made a profounder impression by their silent weeping than
any words could
have made.
[4] Unmoved by all this —it was really madness rather than
love that had clouded his
judgment —Appius mounted the tribunal. The claimant began
9. by a brief protest
against the proceedings of the previous day; judgment, he said,
had not been given
owing to the partiality of the judge. But before he could proceed
with his claim or any
opportunity was given to Verginius of replying, Appius
intervened. [5] It is possible
that the ancient writers may have correctly stated some ground
which he alleged for
his decision, but I do not find one anywhere that would justify
such an iniquitous
decision. The one thing which can be propounded as being
generally admitted is the
judgment itself. [6] His decision was that the girl was a slave.
At first all were stupefied with amazement at this atrocity, and
for a few moments
there was a dead silence. [7] Then, as Marcus Claudius
approached the matrons
standing round the girl, to seize her amidst their outcries and
tears, Verginius,
pointing with outstretched arm to Appius, cried, ‘It is to Icilius
and not to you, Appius,
that I have betrothed my daughter; I have brought her up for
wedlock, not for
outrage. Are you determined to satisfy your brutal lusts like
cattle and wild beasts?
Whether these people will put up with this, I know not, but I
hope that those who
possess arms will refuse to do so.’ [8] While the man who
claimed the maiden was
being pushed back by the group of women and her supporters
10. who stood round, the
crier called for silence.
48. [What did Verginius do to Verginia?]
The decemvir Appius, utterly abandoned to his passion,
addressed the crowd and
told them that he had ascertained not only through the insolent
abuse of Icilius on
the previous day and the violent behaviour of Verginius, which
the Roman people
could testify to, but mainly from certain definite information
received, that all
through the night meetings had been held in the City to organize
a seditious
movement. [2] Forewarned of the likelihood of disturbances, he
had come down into
the Forum with an armed escort, not to injure peaceable
citizens, but to uphold the
authority of the government by putting down the disturbers of
public tranquillity. [3] ‘It
will therefore,’ he proceeded, ‘be better for you to keep quiet.
Go, lictor, remove the
crowd and clear a way for the master to take possession of his
slave.’ When, in a
transport of rage, he had thundered out these words, the people
fell back and left the
deserted girl a prey to injustice.
[4] Verginius, seeing no prospect of help anywhere, turned to
the tribunal. ‘Pardon
me, Appius, I pray you, if I have spoken disrespectfully to you,
pardon a father's
grief. Allow me to question the nurse here, in the maiden's
presence, as to what
11. are the real facts of the case, that if I have been falsely called
her father, I may leave
her with the greater resignation.’ [5] Permission being granted,
he took the girl and
her nurse aside to the booths near the temple of Venus Cloacina
(Links to an external site.)
, now known as the ‘New Booths,’ and there, snatching up a
butcher's knife, he
plunged it into her breast, saying, ‘In this the only way in which
I can, I
vindicate, my child, thy freedom.’ Then, looking towards the
tribunal, ‘By this
blood, Appius, I devote thy head to the infernal gods.’ [6]
Alarmed at the outcry which
arose at this terrible deed, Appius the decemvir ordered
Verginius to be arrested.
Brandishing the knife, he cleared the way before him, until,
protected by a crowd of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine_of_Venus_Cloacina
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine_of_Venus_Cloacina
sympathisers, he reached the city gate. [7] Icilius and
Numitorius took up the lifeless
body and showed it to the people; they deplored the villainy of
Appius, the ill-starred
beauty of the girl, the terrible compulsion under which the
father had acted. [8] The
matrons, who followed with angry cries, asked, ‘Was this the
condition on which they
were to rear children, was this the reward of modesty and
purity?’ with other
manifestations of that womanly grief, which, owing to their
12. keener sensibility, is more
demonstrative, and so expresses itself in more moving and
pitiful fashion. [9] The
men, and especially Icilius, talked of nothing but the abolition
of the power of
the tribune of the plebs and the right of appeal and loudly
expressed their
indignation at the condition of public affairs.
49.
The people were excited partly by the atrocity of the deed,
partly by the
opportunity now offered of recovering their liberties. [2] Appius
first ordered.
Icilius to be summoned before him, then, on his refusal to come,
to be arrested. As
the lictors were not able to get near him, Appius himself with a
body of young
patricians forced his way through the crowd and ordered him to
be taken to prison.
[3] By this time Icilius was not only surrounded by the people,
but the people's
leaders were there —Lucius Valerius and Marcus Horatius.
They drove back the
lictors and said, if they were going to proceed by law, they
would undertake the
defence of Icilius against one who was only a private citizen,
but if they were going to
attempt force, they would be no unequal match for him. [4] A
furious scuffle began;
the decemvir's lictors attacked Valerius and Horatius; their
‘fasces’ [clubs made of
sticks tide together] were broken up by the people; Appius
mounted the platform,
Horatius and Valerius followed him; the Assembly listened to
13. them, Appius was
shouted down. [5] Valerius, assuming the tone of authority,
ordered the lictors to
cease attendance on one who held no official position; on which
Appius,
thoroughly cowed, and fearing for his life, muffled his head
with his toga and
retreated into a house near the Forum, without his adversaries
perceiving his
flight. [6] Spurius Oppius burst into the Forum from the other
side to support his
colleague, and saw that their authority was overcome by main
force. Uncertain what
to do and distracted by the conflicting advice given him on all
sides, he gave orders
for the senate to be summoned. [7] As a great number of the
senators were thought
to disapprove of the conduct of the decemvirs, the people hoped
that their power
would be put an end to through the action of the senate, and
consequently became
quiet. [8] The senate decided that nothing should be done to
irritate the plebs,
and, what was of much more importance, that every precaution
should be taken to
prevent the arrival of Verginius from creating a commotion in
the army.
50. [What is the reaction of the soldiers away from
Rome when they hear what Verginius did?]
Accordingly, some of the younger senators were sent to the
camp, which was then
14. on Mount Vecilius. They informed the three decemvirs who
were in command that by
every possible means they [2] were to prevent the soldiers from
mutinying.
Verginius caused a greater commotion in the camp than the one
[3] he had left
behind in the City. The sight of his arrival with a body of nearly
400 men from the
City, who, fired with indignation, had enlisted themselves as his
comrades, still more
the weapon still clenched in his hand and his blood-besprinkled
clothes, attracted the
attention of the whole camp. The civilian garb seen in all
directions in the camp
made the number of the citizens who had [4] accompanied him
seem greater than it
was.
Questioned as to what had happened, Verginius for a long time
could not speak for
weeping; at length when those who had run up stood quietly
round him and there
was silence, he explained [5] everything in order just as it
happened. Then lifting up
his hands to heaven he appealed to them as his fellow-soldiers
and implored them
not to attribute to him what was really the crime of Appius, nor
to look upon him with
[6] abhorrence as the murderer of his children. His daughter's
life was dearer to him
than his own, had she been allowed to live in liberty and purity;
when he saw her
dragged off as a slave-girl to be outraged, he thought it better to
lose [7] his child by
death than by dishonour. It was through compassion for her that
15. he had fallen into
what looked like cruelty, nor would he have survived her had he
not entertained the
hope of avenging her death by the aid of his fellow-soldiers. For
they, too, had
daughters and sisters and wives; the lust of Appius was not
quenched with his
daughter's life, nay rather, the more impunity it met [8] with the
more unbridled would
it be. Through the sufferings of another they had received a
warning how to guard
themselves against a like wrong. As for him, his wife had been
snatched from him by
Fate, his daughter, because she could no longer live in chastity,
had [9] met a
piteous but an honourable death. There was no longer in his
house any opportunity
for Appius to gratify his lust, from any other violence on that
man's part he would
defend himself with the same resolution with which he had
defended his child; others
must look out for themselves and for their children.
[10] To this impassioned appeal of Verginius the crowd replied
with a shout
that they would not fail him in his grief or in the defence of his
liberty. The
civilians mingling in the throng of soldiers told the same tragic
story, and how much
more shocking this incident was to behold than to hear about; at
the same time they
announced that affairs were in fatal confusion at Rome and that
16. some had followed
them into camp with the tidings that Appius after [11] being
almost killed had gone
into exile. The result was a general call to arms, they plucked
[12] up the standards
and started for Rome. The decemvirs, thoroughly alarmed at
what they saw and at
what they heard of the state of things in Rome, went to different
parts of the camp to
try and allay the excitement. Where they tried persuasion no
answer was returned,
but where they attempted to exercise authority, the reply was,
‘We are men and have
arms.’
[13] They marched in military order to the City and occupied
the Aventine [one
of the hills of Rome, the one most associated with the activities
of the plebs].
Every one whom they met was urged to recover the liberties of
the plebs and
appoint tribunes; apart from this no appeals to violence were
heard.
The meeting of the [14] senate was presided over by Spurius
Oppius. They decided
not to adopt any harsh measures, as it was through their own
lack [15] of energy that
the sedition had arisen. Three envoys of consular rank were sent
to the army to
demand in the name of the senate by whose orders they had
abandoned their camp,
and what they meant by occupying the Aventine in arms, and
diverting the war from
17. foreign foes to their own country, [16] which they had taken
forcible possession of.
They were at no loss for an answer, but they were at a loss for
some one to give it,
since they had as yet no regular leader, all individual officers
did not venture to
expose themselves to the dangers of such a position. The only
reply was a loud and
general demand that L. Valerius and. M. Horatius should be sent
to them, to these
men they would give a formal reply.
51.
After the envoys were dismissed, Verginius pointed out to the
soldiers that they had
a few moments ago felt themselves embarrassed in a matter of
no great importance,
because they were a multitude without a head, and the answer
they had given,
though it served their turn was the outcome [2??] rather of the
general feeling at the
time than of any settled purpose. [3] He was of opinion that ten
men should be
chosen to hold supreme command, and by virtue of their
military rank should be
called tribunes of the soldiers. [4] He himself was the first to
whom this distinction
was offered, but he replied, ‘Reserve the opinion you have
formed of me till both you
and I are in more favourable circumstances; so long as my
daughter is unavenged
no honour can give me pleasure, nor in the present disturbed
state of the
commonwealth is it any advantage for those men to be at your
head who are most
18. obnoxious to party malice. [5] If [6??] I am to be of any use, I
shall be none the less
so in a private capacity.’ [7] Ten military tribunes, accordingly,
were appointed.
The army acting against the Sabines did not remain passive.
There, too, at the
instigation of Icilius and Numitorius, a revolt against the
decemvirs took place.
The feelings of the soldiery were roused by the recollection of
the murdered Siccius
no less than by the fresh story of the maiden whom it had been
sought to make a
victim of foul lust. [8] When Icilius heard that tribunes of the
soldiers had been
elected on the Aventine, he anticipated from what he knew of
the plebs that [9??]
when they came to elect their tribunes they would follow the
lead of the army and
choose those who were already elected as military tribunes. [10]
As he was looking
to a tribuneship himself, he took care to get the same number
appointed and
invested with similar powers by his own men, before they
entered the City. They
made their entry through the Colline gate in military order, with
standards displayed,
and proceeded through the heart of the City to the Aventine.
[11] There the two
armies united, and the twenty military tribunes were requested
to appoint two of their
number to take the supreme direction of affairs. They appointed.
19. Marcus Oppius
and. Sextus Manlius.
[12] Alarmed at the direction affairs were taking, the senate
held daily
meetings, but the time was spent in mutual reproaches rather
than in
deliberation. The decemvirs were openly charged with the
murder of Siccius, the
profligacy of Appius, and the disgrace incurred in the field. It
was proposed that
Valerius and Horatius should go to the Aventine, but they
refused to go unless the
decemvirs gave up the insignia of an office which had expired
the previous year. [13]
The decemvirs protested against this attempt to coerce them,
and said that they
would not lay down their authority until the laws which they
were appointed to draw
up were duly enacted.
52. [What was the reason for the 'dreary and
deserted look to every part of Rome'?]
Marcus Duillius, a former tribune, informed the plebs that,
owing to incessant
wranglings, no business was being transacted in the senate. [2]
He did not believe
that the senators would trouble about them till they saw the City
deserted; the
Sacred Hill would remind them of the firm determination once
shown by the
plebs, and they would learn that unless the tribunitian power
was restored
20. there could be no concord in the State. [3] The armies left the
Aventine and,
going out by the Nomentan —or, as it was then called, the
Ficulan —road, they
encamped on the Sacred Hill, imitating the moderation of their
fathers by
abstaining from all injury. [4] The plebeian civilians followed
the army, no one
whose age allowed him to go hung back. Their wives and
children followed
them, asking in piteous tones, to whom would they leave them
in a City where
neither modesty nor liberty were respected? [5] The unwonted
solitude gave a
dreary and deserted look to every part of Rome; in the Forum
there were only a
few of the older patricians, and when the senate was in session
it was wholly
deserted. Many besides Horatius and Valerius were now angrily
asking, ‘What are
you waiting for, senators? [6] If the decemvirs do not lay aside
their obstinacy, will
you allow everything to go to wrack and ruin? And what, pray,
is that authority,
decemvirs, to which you cling so closely? Are you going to
administer justice to
walls and roofs? Are you not ashamed to see a greater number
of lictors in the
Forum than of all other citizens put together? [7] What will you
do if the enemy
approach the City? What if the plebs seeing that their secession
has no effect,
come shortly against us in arms? Do you want to end your
21. power by the fall of
the City? [8] Either you will have to do without the plebeians or
you will have to
accept their tribunes; sooner than they will go without their
magistrates, we
shall have to go without ours. [9] That power which they
wrested from our fathers,
when it was an untried novelty, they will not submit to be
deprived of, now that they
have tasted the sweets of it, especially as we are not making
that moderate use of
our power which would prevent their needing its protection.’
[10] Remonstrances like
these came from all parts of the House; at last the decemvirs,
overborne by the
unanimous opposition, asserted that since it was the general
wish, they would
submit to the authority of the senate. [11] All they asked for
was that they might be
protected against the popular rage; they warned the senate
against the plebs
becoming by their death habituated to inflicting punishment on
the patricians.
53. [What did the plebs demand as a condition or
conditions for resolving the issue?]
Valerius and Horatius were then sent to the plebs with terms
which it was thought
would lead to their return and the adjustment of all differences;
they were also
instructed to procure guarantees for the protection of the
decemvirs against popular
violence. [2] They were welcomed in the camp with every
expression of delight, for
22. they were unquestionably regarded as liberators from the
commencement of the
disturbance to its close. Thanks therefore were offered to them
on their arrival. Icilius
was the spokesman. [3] A policy had been agreed upon before
the arrival of the
envoys, so when the discussion of the terms commenced, and
the envoys asked
what the demands of the plebs were, Icilius put forward
proposals of such a nature
as to show clearly that their hopes lay in the justice of their
cause rather than in an
appeal to arms. [4] They demanded the re-establishment of the
tribunitian power
and the right of appeal, which before the institution of
decemvirs had been
their main security. They also demanded an amnesty for those
who had incited the
soldiers or the plebs to recover their liberties by a secession. [5]
The only vindictive
demand made was with …
