Item description from seller

X, 332 / - 650 S. / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - ETERNAL ROME -- [.] For the first time since Cannae, the slaves were called to aid in the defence of their Roman masters. Provincials throughout the empire were exhorted to take up arms against the common invader. -- The excitable pen of Jerome records the feelings of the Christian who was also a lover of the Roman empire: "My soul shrinks from reciting the ruins of our times. For twenty years and more, the blood of Rome has been poured out daily between the city of Constantine and the Julian Alps. In Scythia, Thrace, Macedonia, Thessaly, Dardania, Dacia, Epirus, Dalmatia, and all the Pannonias, the Goth, Sarmatian, Quade, Alan, Hun, Vandal, and Marcoman lay waste, pillage, and drag away. How many matrons, how many virgins of God, how many of the free-born and noble have been used for the mirth of these beasts! Bishops have been seized, elders and other officials slain, churches overthrown, horses stabled at the altars of Christ, the mortal relics of the martyrs dug up. Everywhere are lamentations, everywhere groanings, and on every hand the image of death. The Roman world is tumbling in ruins. ." -- But the misfortunes of the city had not yet reached their climax. In 408, Alaric once more marched his men into Italy, this time to the very gates of Rome. Bought off with gold and silver and furs and silks and spices, but still not satisfied with these and the concessions of territory and honors that went with them, he returned in 409 to enforce the payment of arrears and to repeat the demand for lands.
