Caligula: Rome's MAD Emperor
Просмотров 9794 месяца назад
Caligula is a somewhat troublesome historical figure. He has been presented to history as a despotic madman, who, through his erratic behaviour, was vehemently despised by his people. So much so that he had to be taken out of the picture by one of his own guards some four years into his authoritarian reign over Rome. The sordid stories of his life have been passed down the centuries as examples...

Owain Glyndŵr & the Welsh Revolt // Medieval Wales History Documentary
Просмотров 25 тыс.Год назад
In Wales, there is a legend of a messianic figure, destined to lead its people to freedom from subjugation. Stemming from the legends of King Arthur, the term ‘Y Mab Darogan’ (Son of Destiny) has been given to a number of historical Welsh figures over the centuries. Llewelyn the Great, Llewelyn the Last and Owain Lawgoch all held the title for a time. All ultimately fell short of the prophesy. ...

    I can walk around my small Vermont hometown (population about 6,000) and see Palladio's legacy everywhere. The same is true throughout New England, where the general principles he stressed and which his buildings exemplified can be seen everywhere, even when they're reduced to the bare outlines shown in his Four Books. So much descends from those four books that one is hard-put to name all of the structures, from grand public buildings (the third Vermont capitol building) to many of the private homes built in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Palladio was the master whom generation upon generation of architects and builders relied for inspiration and instruction. The great Andrea is my main man!

    No evidence that the Silures ever were defeated. They fought the Romans for thirty years, twenty of them even after their leader, Caradoc was betrayed by the Brigantes. The Romans certainly built a large town, Caerwent, for them to run as a civitas and to keep their royal line. Cardiff, Caerdydd, is so called because it means the City of the Agreement. It was where the Romans and Silures AGREED to end their warfare.
