Unfortunately, films like Gladiator, Spartacus, Barabbas, and Demetrius and the Gladiators don’t present a very accurate depiction of life in Rome and the arena. Considering the fact that the Roman Empire existed for so long, and so much of our own Western society has derived from it, it is no surprise that we all have at least one or two misconceptions about the Empire and its people. For this reason, we have put together a list of the most misconceptions people hold about the Ancient Roman society and customs. Contrary to popular belief, the emperor did not give a thumbs up or down for a gladiator as a signal to kill his enemy. HBO/BBC created an excellent series called “Rome” which covers a number of years of the Roman Empire. In her presence no base word could be uttered without grave offence, and no wrong deed done.

Godchecker.com - Your Guide To The Gods Teatteri Antiikin ajan Roomassa Teatteri Antiikin ajan Roomassa Silta renessanssiin Aleksanteri Suuren 300-luvulla eaa. tekemien valloitusten jälkeen kreikkalaisen kulttuurin vaikutus levisi Välimeren alueen maihin. Teattereita rakennettiin ja kreikkalaisten näytelmien alkuperäistekstejä käännettiin, kopioitiin, muokattiin, käsiteltiin ja sovitettiin kansanviihteeksi sopiviksi. Noin 100-luvulla jaa. kreikkalaiset tragediat ja komediat olivat Roomassa muuttuneet esityksiksi, joita kutsuttiin pantomiimiksi ja miimusnäytelmiksi, joissa tekstillä ei enää ollut paljonkaan merkitystä. Roomalaisella kulttuurilla, näytelmillä, teatterikäytänteillä ja rakennuksilla on ollut suurempi vaikutus eurooppalaiseen teatteriin kuin kreikkalaisella. Toinen suuri tekijä oli kieli. Roomalaisen arkkitehdin, insinöörin ja kirjailijan Vitruviuksen teatteriarkkitehtuuria kuvaava teos "De architectura libri decem" noin vuodelta 25 eaa. on tärkeimpiä kirjallisia teatteria koskevia teoksia, joita antiikin Rooman ajalta on säilynyt.
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean - 1 In the following pages, I will reveal some of the mysteries which as yet have only been touched upon lightly either by myself or other teachers or students of truth. Man’s search for understanding of the laws which regulate his life has been unending, yet always just beyond the veil which shields the higher planes from material man’s vision the truth has existed, ready to be assimilated by those who enlarge their vision by turning inward, not outward, in their search. In the silence of material senses lies the key to the unveiling of wisdom. All symbols are but keys to doors leading to truths, and many times the door is not opened because the key seems so great that the things which are beyond it are not visible. All things in all universes move according to law, and the law which regulates the movement of the planets is no more immutable than the law which regulates the material expressions of man. The great search for light, life and love only begins on the material plane. Doreal

Villa Lante Tämä artikkeli käsittelee Suomen Rooman-instituutin kotipaikkaa. Toinen Villa Lante -niminen talo, Villa Lante a Bagnaia, sijaitsee Viterbossa. Villa Lante, täydellisemmin Villa Lante al Gianicolo on Roomassa Gianicolo-kukkulalla sijaitseva renessanssihuvila, joka on valmistunut vuonna 1531. Suomen valtio osti rakennuksen vuonna 1950 ja siinä toimivat sekä Suomen Rooman-instituutti että Suomen Pyhän istuimen luona oleva suurlähetystö. Historia[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä] Rakentaminen[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä] Villa Lanten rakennutti paavi Leo X:n kansliapäällikkö Baldassare Turini, joka halusi huvilan Rooman kaupungin ulkopuolelta päästäkseen pakoon kaupungin kuumuutta kesällä. Rakennuksen valmistumisvuosi 1531 on kirjattu talon seinään yhdessä Martialis-sitaatin ("Täältä voi ihailla koko Roomaa") kanssa. Villa Lante. Lante-suvun aika ja välivuodet[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä] Huvilaa alettiin vuokrata ulkopuolisille, kun luostari ei enää tarvinnut sitä. Villa Lante al Gianicolo.
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean Dr. Doreal, who has a connection with the Great White Lodge, which also works through the Pyramid Priest-hood, was instructed to recover and return to the Great Pyramid, these Ancient Tablets. This was accomplished, but before returning them, Doreal was given permission to translate and retain a copy of the wisdom engraved on the Tablets. This was done in 1925, and now, permission has been given for this translation by Doreal to be published solely through the Brotherhood of the White Temple. This is the only authorized, original and true rendition of these Emerald Tablets. It is expected that many will scoff, yet the true student will read between the lines and gain wisdom. When Thoth, the Atlantean and Master raised the people of Khem (Egypt) to a great civilization, and when the time came for him to leave Egypt, he erected The Great Pyramid over the entrance of the Great Halls of Amenti. They are imperishable, resistant to all elements, corrosion and acids. Dr.
500 year old map of ‘America’ discovered in Munich A previously unknown version of Martin Waldseemüller’s famous world map has been disocvered in the collections of the University Library in Munich. On this map, the New World appears for the first time under the name “America”, chosen to honor the explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1451 – 1512), whom Waldseemüller erroneously regarded as the discoverer of the continent. Waldseemüller and his colleague Matthias Ringmann created the map in their workshop in the monastery of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges around the year 1507. Four other versions of the map are known to exist, and one of them was sold at auction in 2005 for $1 million. This fifth version is created in so-called globe segments, which depict the world in twelve individual segments, or rather surface wedges, which taper to a point at each end and are printed on a single sheet, like cut-outs on construction paper. The “new” Munich copy of the segmented map itself has obviously followed a tortuous course to reach its present haven.
