In The Buried City, Gabriel Zuchtriegel takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Pompeii and reveals new archaeological finds that are being unearthed at the site’s biggest dig in a generation. As director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, Zuchtriegel presents a uniquely intimate perspective on this city that was tragically destroyed and frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Among the ruins, we find unmade beds, dishes left drying, and bodies of victims encased in ash, but Zuchtriegel shows that we’ve only begun to understand this fascinating place.

El Imperio Romano continúa marcando un hito en el imaginario de la cultura occidental, y ciertamente en nuestro actual mundo globalizando, trasciende las fronteras de la misma. Se encuadra aún en el ideario general como un estado grabado por la crueldad y ambición de sus emperadores y generales, pero indudablemente, como emblema de una organización y administración eficientes. El cine y la literatura no dejan de rendirle homenaje y he allí tenemos a historias y personajes recargados de un tinte legendario: las conquistas de Julio César, la invasión de Aníbal con sus elefantes, el ...

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been seen. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.

Erich Schnepel zeichnet in seiner Ausarbeitung den Weg nach, den die Gemeinde Jesu im Römischen Reich während der ersten vier Jahrhunderte nahm. Es ist ein Weg des Leidens und des Triumphs zugleich: Die Nachfolger Jesu erduldeten um des Evangelium willen die schlimmsten Leiden bis in den Tod, und – so erstaunlich es klingen mag – gerade dadurch triumphierten sie, wie der Herr verheißt: »Sei getreu bis in den Tod, und ich werde dir den Siegeskranz des Lebens geben« (Offb 2,10). Auch blutiger Staatsterror vermochte die Gemeinde Jesu nicht auszurotten.

Molti imperi scompaiono avendo lasciato dietro di sé un campo di sterminio, rovine, massacri e… niente altro. Roma ha lasciato una civiltà. Viviamo ancora nella sua legge, ci avvantaggiamo del suo sistema di comunicazione, delle poderose e geniali tecniche costruttive, parliamo la sua lingua, in tante e diverse parti del mondo. Alcuni dei popoli che sono stati interessati dalla dominazione romana non avrebbero poi avuto alcuna pietà quando, a loro volta, si sarebbero trovati nel ruolo degli invasori.
