The importance of the Etruscans can be traced back to Rome. The Roman Republic, and later the Roman Empire, was an unusual conqueror because it would absorb and assimilate elements of the cultures it dominated. A standing practice was to allow the defeated to continue practicing their culture and religion so long as they paid their taxes on time. Such a procedure was part of why Christianity would seep into the Roman Empire around the 1st century CE, for example. For the Etruscans, this meant they influenced aspects of Roman civilization, one of the most powerful cultures in the history of the Western world.
The word "Rome" is Etruscan in origin as are the names of its mythological founders "Remus" and "Romulus." Several of the Roman creation myths centered on branches of the Etruscans breaking off to found Rome, and Rome itself used to be a part of Etruscan civilization before it broke away and started to develop its own society. When the Etruscans were absorbed, elements of their culture, language, and religion would seep into Roman practice. Before their assimilation, the Etruscans gifted Rome with much of its political science and technology. Through the Etruscans, the Romans developed monarchy, walls, drainage systems, and the powerful forum.
The Etruscans shouldn't only be studied as the influencer of Rome, but it is the connection through which most individuals have heard of their illustrious civilization. Other interesting developments of the Etruscans were their flamboyant fashion, complex political structure, urban planning, and fatalistic religion. As the reader of this volume, check and see where the Etruscans sound similar to the Romans but also interpret what made the Etruscans unique, what rings of assimilation of other cultures like the Greeks, and determine whether it was possible for the Etruscans to avoid their fate against the Romans during the 1st century BCE.

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Hellenistic Age, then keep reading...
The alienation of the people from the government and society itself can be seen as a result of the Hellenistic transformation. It can also be seen within the art of the period. Scholars, artists, and philosophers began rejecting the collective ideals, and instead, they focused on the cult of the individual. Sculptures were no longer that of gods and ideals but of individuals, and philosophers cultivated the ideas of individual happiness and pleasure.
Religious cults, such as the cult of Isis, formed around the same concepts, claiming to offer the secret of immortality and prosperity to those who sought it for themselves.
The Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world. However, the era was destined to end in 31 BCE with the Battle of Actium. Octavian's Roman forces defeated Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's Ptolemaic fleet, thus securing the rise of the Roman Empire.
While the Hellenistic age lasted only for a brief period in humanity's rich history, its influence on culture, science, and philosophy has resonated with the world ever since.

Описание: Would you like to know how we got from the first century, the time of Jesus and the apostles, to the Middle Ages? A sequel to "Apocalypse and Armageddon"; this work proceeds from the inception period of earliest Christianity described therein and expands upon it. From that point this work continues into the next four to five hundred years of strife and chaos which was mainly perpetrated by the Byzantine tyrants, beginning with Constantine I, whose aim was the destruction of Greco-Roman civilization along with the destruction of any meaningful references to female leadership in the ancient world. It includes chapters devoted to the ancient philosophers who opposed Christianity along with information about the female philosophers of the ancient world and also chapters devoted to the emperors Hadrian and Julian, demonstrating their roles in the overall picture. It also includes details of the savage murder of the philosopher, Hypatia. The brutal takeover by Christian Byzantine forces is fully on display in this work along with mentions of several who faced their wrath, often via some rather fiendish subordinate characters. In the mix it emphasizes the meaning of the deaths of Julian, Hypatia, the very city of Roma and the ancient Greco-Roman civilization altogether. This is real history based on fact, not faith. This history is seldom provided to the folk at large. It is here presented to the folk to educate those who are open to it.

Описание: The Church of England still seemed an essential part of Englishness, and even of the British state, when Mrs Thatcher was elected in 1979. The decades which followed saw a seismic shift in the foundations of the C of E, leading to the loss of more than half its members and much of its influence. In England today 'religion' has become a toxic brand, and Anglicanism something done by other people.
How did this happen? Is there any way back?This 'relentlessly honest' and surprisingly entertaining book tells the dramatic and contentious story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors - religious correspondent Andrew Brown and academic Linda Woodhead - watched this closely, one from the inside and one from the outside. That Was the Church, That Was shows what happened and explains why.
