Project Gutenberg 2004-08-17 Public domain in the USA. 210 Ferrero, Guglielmo 1871 1942 Ferrero, Frances Lance 1865 1956 Characters and events of Roman History Produced by Ted Garvin, S.R.Ellison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Characters and Events of Roman History" by Guglielmo Ferrero is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a series of lectures that delve into the pivotal moments in Roman history, focusing particularly on the transition from the era of Julius Caesar to that of Nero, while examining how themes such as corruption, conquest, and governance influenced Roman society. The opening of the work serves as a prefatory overview of Ferrero's lecture series, explaining the historical context of his analyses and the methodological approach he used. He discusses the core concept of "corruption" in Roman customs, as highlighted by ancient writers, and reflects on its parallel with modern society. The lectures that follow promise to explore various interconnected narratives, including the story of Antony and Cleopatra, the development of Gaul, and the role of wine in Roman history, all through the lens of psychological and sociological insights rather than purely economic analyses. This multifaceted approach positions the text as a thoughtful exploration of how Rome's complexities shaped both its past and its enduring influence on contemporary civilization.
