The "Best of" Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire last update: 13 April 1996 Provided by E-Mail: zimm@alumni.caltech.edu "It was among the ruins of the Capitol that I first conceived the idea of a work which has amused and exercised nearly twenty years of my life, and which, however inadequate to my own wishes, I finally deliver to the curiosity and candour of the public." (Edward Gibbon, Lausanne, 27 June 1787) "Another damned, thick, square, book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble! Eh! Mr. Gibbon?" (William Henry, Duke of Gloucester, upon receiving the second volume from the author, 1781) rance@attmail.com writes on 16 Mar 1996: About ten years ago, as I was growing bored with newspaper reading on my daily trips to New York and back to Philadelphia, I started Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . I'd had the 6-volume set for some years, one of many fine, old, numbered sets printed in the last century and bought by me during the previous decade from Bryn Mawr College's used book store. (An aside: none of the setsI have about ten or sohad been read through. I know this because in each case, after a chapter or so, I had to slit the pages of the signatures as I read.) I was enthralled immediately with Gibbon's history. I believe Gibbon's opening sentence to be among the best of any work. It was difficult for me to get used to the lofty style, but after a chapter or two, I was acclimated. (It's still the caseit takes a chapter or so before my grammar and syntax can power up to Gibbon's level.) As I read I could hear in his cadences and phrasing the Gibbon that Winston Churchill credited with forming his own style.

An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors DIR Atlas Firmus (ca.372-ca.375 A.D.) Walter E. Roberts Emory University Very little is known about Firmus' early life. He was one of the many children of the Moorish prince Nubel, who was also a Roman military officer and a Christian. When Nubel died sometime in the early 370s, his children began fighting over his estate. Firmus killed his brother Zammac, an illegitimate heir but a favorite of the comes Africae Romanus. Romanus was infuriated by this act, and, using his acquaintance with the magister officiorum Remigius, he began a campaign to discredit Firmus at the imperial court of Valentinian I Fearing for his safety, Firmus decided to revolt against Romanus. This revolt occurred against the backdrop of Romanus' general mismanagement of the African provinces. During the 360s, Romanus had let the province of Tripolitania, and especially the town of Lepcis, fall prey to the raids of various native African peoples because the African provincials would not meet his demand for increased booty and supplies for his troops. When the provincials complained to Valentinian , Romanus used his connections with Remigius to divert the blame from himself. As a result, Ruricius, the

Section I In taking the State and its historic role as the subject for this study, I think I am satisfying a much felt need at the present time: that of examining in depth the very concept of the State, of studying its essence, its past role and the part it may be called upon to play in the future. It is above all over the question of the State that socialists are divided. Two main currents can be discerned in the factions that exist among us which correspond to differences in temperament as well as in ways of thinking, but above all to the extent that one believes in the coming revolution. There are those, on the one hand, who hope to achieve the social revolution through the State by preserving and even extending most of its powers to be used for the revolution. And there are those like ourselves who see the State, both in its present form, in its very essence, and in whatever guise it might appear, an obstacle to the social revolution, the greatest hindrance to the birth of a society based on equality and liberty, as well as the historic means designed to prevent this blossoming. The latter work to abolish the State and not to reform it. It is clear that the division is a deep one. It corresponds with two divergent currents which in our time are manifest in all philosophical thought, in literature as well as in action. And if the prevailing views on the State remain as obscure as they are today, there is no doubt whatsoever that when - and we hope, soon - communist ideas are subjected to practical application in the daily life of communities, it will be on the question of the State that the most stubborn struggles will be waged.

Photograph from "Rome: A State In Arms", by John Ricker and John Saywell, page 21 "The public executioners, under official instructions, made a bonfire in the Comitium and Forum of those masterpieces of literary art. So much is in the record. In those fires doubtless the government imagined that it could silence the voice of Rome and annihilate the freedom of the Senate and men's knowledge of the truth. They even went on to banish the professors of philosophy and exile all honourable accomplishments, so that nothing decent might anywhere confront them. We have indeed set up a record of subservience. Rome of old explored the utmost limits of freedom; we have plumbed the depths of slavery, robbed as we are by informers even of the right to exchange ideas in conversation." Cornelius Tacitus on the Emperor Domitian, "Agricola" (A.D. 98) The Republic Corrupted The Roman Republic had evolved from and been designed to run a small city-state. It was extended successfully over Italy through alliances and conquests. But the Provinces presented a problem to the Republic. The right to control foreign affairs and hence these Roman conquests defaulted to the Senate, through an accident of history and religious custom. The Senate appointed members of the nobility and upper classes to manage the provinces in the interests of Rome. The wealth that these positions brought to the men and families involved was often unbelievably vast, and without precedent in Republican history. Provinces were fleeced for everything they were worth.

ROMAN EMPIRE During the Roman Empire, about 800 AD, The Pure trust, from which the contractual company evolved, was developed. It became the preferred method of establishing ownership and management of property on the European Continent during the Middle Ages. ENGLAND In England, many burdens and conditions fell upon the holder of feudal title to real estate. For example, the lord of the land was entitled to relief (certain payments of money) when the land was passed on to an heir of full age. The lord was given the right to claim also entitled to aid (money) to pay for the marriage of the deceased former owner's daughter or the knighting of his eldest son. In addition, the holder of the land was usually prohibited from selling the land or dividing it among his heirs. If the holder was convicted of a crime, all of his possessions at the time could be forfeited to the King (leaving his family destitute). These were the principal restrictions, but there were nearly 100 other taxes and limitations on the possessors of the land. To avoid these restrictions under the law, the trust - a creation of Court of Chancery in England - was originally developed. It was designed to avoid the rigid laws relating to the succession of property by allowing the Trustor to vest legal title in a trustee on behalf of a wife, son or daughter or other person. It had many advances, including that it could be kept secret. The King did not have to know of the transfer of property to the trustees and by law, taxes and other limitations could be ignored.

Every five years, each male Roman citizen had to register in Rome for the census. In this he had to declare his family, wife, children, slaves and riches. Should he fail to do this, his possessions would be confiscated and he would be sold into slavery. But registration meant freedom. A master wishing to free his slave needed only to enter him in the censor's list as a citizen ( manumissio censu Throughout the entire republican era, registration in the census was the only way that a Roman could ensure that his identity and status as a citizen were recognized. Fathers registered their sons, employers their freedmen. Primarily the census served to count the number of citizens and to assess the potential military strength and future tax revenue. Most important, the census transformed the city into a political and military community.

Italy History and Government History: Although Italy has only been unified since 1861, the rich and complex history of the peninsula has, perhaps more than that of any other country, influenced the course of European development, particularly in the fields of culture and political thought. The most important early settlers in the area were the Etruscans, who had established settlements in northern Italy by the sixth century BC. By the third century BC, the city state of Rome, having subdued most of the peninsula, was intent on extending its influence elsewhere. At its greatest extent, the Empire (so called after 30 BC) made the Mediterranean a Roman lake and for several centuries conferred on its inhabitants the benefits of the Pax Romana : culture (mainly Hellenic in origin), law, relative peace and comparative prosperity.

In Greece, popular movements had been raising the old demand that land be redistributed and debts be canceled, and men of wealth in Greece tradesmen, shipbuilders and landed aristocrats sought the help of Rome against the threat of reform or revolution. Some conservative Romans wished that their city avoid entanglements in Greece in order to avoid contacts with fancy philosophies they believed would corrupt their fellow Romans. Some Romans believed that rather than going to Greece it would be best to focus on recovery from the war against Hannibal and other problems in Italy and at home. Those with rival opinions spoke of Rome's destiny and of its triumphs yet to come. They had become hawkish during the war against Carthage, and they had a heightened concern with security. They wanted the city to use its power to serve what they described as its interests abroad. Among these Romans were a few who sought to advance or acquire military reputations. Some among them believed that Roman military strength backed by their virtues and the power of their gods could improve the world beyond Italy. They saw Rome as more blessed than others and more capable and wise, and they argued for selective intervention beyond Italy as a duty and service to mankind.
