A thrilling exploration of what Romans thought about their emperors, and how rumors and gossip—ranging from new taxes to rulers’ sex lives—shaped leadership  Traversing more than seven hundred years of Roman history, this book explores how everyday Romans swapped gossip, spread rumors, told jokes, and chanted protests about their emperors—activity that amounted to much more than idle chatter. Caillan Davenport uses ancient evidence, including letters, graffiti, and songs, to reveal how Romans engaged in politics outside the senate house or imperial council. He argues that the idea of the Roman emperor was shaped not only by the political powers granted to him but also by the debate taking place in the streets, churches, taverns, and markets.  Davenport reveals how Romans spoke about “the emperor” as a figure of stability, as an agent of justice and retribution, or as a fallible human. Although few would ever see an emperor, his face (and therefore his power) was everywhere: on coins, banners, standards, and even dessert molds, as well as in statuary and paintings. While most Romans did not question the transformation of their republic into a monarchical system of government, they were indeed invested in the empire and were in ...

Cutting through the hype, a practical guide to using artificial intelligence for business benefits and competitive advantage.In The AI Advantage, Thomas Davenport offers a guide to using artificial intelligence in business. He describes what technologies are available and how companies can use them for business benefits and competitive advantage. He cuts through the hype of the AI craze—remember when it seemed plausible that IBM''s Watson could cure cancer?—to explain how businesses can put artificial intelligence to work now, in the real world. His key recommendation: don''t go for the “moonshot” (curing cancer, or synthesizing all investment knowledge); look for the “low-hanging fruit” to make your company more efficient.Davenport explains that the business value AI offers is solid rather than sexy or splashy. AI will improve products and processes and make decisions better informed—important but largely invisible tasks. AI technologies won''t replace human workers but augment their capabilities, with smart machines to work alongside smart people. AI can automate structured and repetitive work; provide extensive analysis of data through machine learning (“analytics on steroids”), and engage with customers and employees via chatbots and intelligent agents. Companies should experiment with these technologies and develop their own expertise.Davenport describes the major AI technologies ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate on March 15, 44 BC-the Ides of March according to the Roman calendar. He was, says author Barry Strauss, the last casualty of one civil war and the first casualty of the next civil war, which would end the Roman Republic and inaugurate the Roman Empire. "The Death of Caesarprovides a fresh look at a well-trodden event, with superb storytelling sure to inspire awe". Why was Caesar killed? For political reasons, mainly. The conspirators wanted to return Rome to the days when the Senate ruled, but Caesar hoped to pass along his new powers to his family, especially Octavian. The principal plotters were Brutus, Cassius (both former allies of Pompey), and Decimus. The last was a leading general and close friend of Caesar's who felt betrayed by the great man: He was the mole in Caesar's camp. But after the assassination everything went wrong. The killers left the body in the Senate and Caesar's allies held a public funeral. Mark Antony made a brilliant speech-not "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" as Shakespeare had it, but something inflammatory that caused a riot. The conspirators fled Rome. Brutus and Cassius raised an army in ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Primarily known as the author of the Dialogus miraculorum - a collection of exemplary stories that won Caesarius his reputation as the master of Cistercian storytelling - Caesarius of Heisterbach's strong predilection, however, seems to have been for writing sermons and homilies. Although they are not as well known today, his Homilies on Jesus' Childhood are exceptional in many ways. Readers will immediately notice Caesarius's versatility, as he employs an impressive array of persuasive techniques (quoting scholarly works, interpreting Hebrew names and letters, delving into etymology and numerology), as well as including numerous exempla to instruct both the learned and the simple.

Dealing with events surrounding the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., the drama vividly illustrates the ways in which power and corruption are linked.The cry ‘Peace, freedom and liberty!’ is used to exculpate brutal realities, while personal ambitions taint public actions.

A detailed, fully illustrated overview of Julius Caesar''s Gallic Wars, one of the most important conflicts of the ancient world.Julius Caesar was one of the most ambitious and successful politicians of the late Roman Republic and his short but bloody conquest of the Celtic tribes led to the establishment of the Roman province of Gaul (modern France). Caesar''s commentaries on his Gallic Wars provide us with the most detailed surviving eye-witness account of a campaign from antiquity. In this book, respected Roman military historian Kate Gilliver makes use of this account and other surviving evidence to consider the importance of the Gallic Wars in the context of the collapse of the Roman Republic and its slide toward civil war.Updated and revised for the new edition, with full-colour maps and new images throughout, this accessible introduction provides an important reference resource for the academic or student reader as well as those with a general interest in the ancient world.

The Landmark Julius Caesar is the definitive edition of the five works that chronicle the mil­itary campaigns of Julius Caesar. Together, these five narratives present a comprehensive picture of military and political developments leading to the collapse of the Roman republic and the advent of the Roman Empire. The Gallic War is Caesar’s own account of his two invasions of Britain and of conquering most of what is today France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The Civil War describes the conflict in the following year which, after the death of his chief rival, Pompey, and the defeat of Pompey’s heirs and supporters, resulted in Caesar’s emergence as the sole power in Rome. Accompanying Caesar’s own commentaries are three short but essential additional works, known to us as the Alexandrian War, the African War, and the Spanish War. These were written by three unknown authors who were clearly eyewitnesses and probably Roman officers. Caesar’s clear and direct prose provides a riveting depiction of ancient warfare and, not incidentally, a persuasive portrait for the Roman people (and for us) of Caesar himself as a brilliant, moderate, and effec­tive leader—an image that was key to his final success. Kurt A. Raaflaub’s masterful translation skillfully brings ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Julius Caesar is part historical figure and part legend. He was a complex individual, a brilliant politician, a successful general, an accomplished psychologist. He grew up in a world where political and military careers were inextricably intertwined, and he excelled at both. In his youth he was considered vain and a little foppish, but showed nerves of steel when he defied the Dictator Sulla - and survived. Bending to someone’s will was not in Caesar’s make-up. He came late to a position of supreme power, and though his policies embraced pragmatic, sensible measures designed to solve the problems that beset the Republic, it was his dictatorial methods rather than his ideas which caused resentment.Unfortunately, when his assassins killed him, hoping to liberate the state from what they saw as his tyranny, they had formulated no plans for the government of the Roman world. By murdering Caesar, the assassins provoked a prolonged series of civil wars, and the rise of Augustus, the all-powerful first Emperor, who took up where Caesar left off. In this new appraisal of his life, Patricia Southern sheds light on the man behind the legend.

The Civic Education Crisis: How We Got Here, What We Must Do is a call to action, an effort to save our republic through better civic education. America faces a crisis in civic education that imperils the long-term health of the country. Too many Americans—especially young people—do not have the knowledge of history and principles necessary to sustain the republic. In what has become a vicious cycle, young people are not learning about their country—its history and how it works—and they grow up disengaged and distrustful. Too many young people do not understand the principles of self-government on which America was founded. And they do not understand America’s history as the story of the struggle to live up to those principles of freedom articulated in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Instead, too many believe that America’s story is essentially one of oppression, not freedom—injustice, not hope. In the first half of the book, authors Jeff Sikkenga and David Davenport diagnose the problem while proposing solutions in the second half. Truly, America faces a civics crisis and action is needed now to reverse the trend.

In his late teens he narrowly avoided execution for opposing the military dictator Sulla. He was decorated for valour in battle, captured and held to ransom by pirates, and almost bankrupted himself by staging games for the masses. As a politician, he quickly gained a reputation as a dangerously ambitious maverick. By his early 30s he had risen to the position of Consul, and was already beginning to dominate the Senate. His affairs with noblewomen were both frequent and scandalous.His greatest skill, outside the bedroom, was as a military commander.

Julius Caesar in Egypt is a true story of double-cross, assassination and intrigue accompanied by lively battles, daring escapes, disastrous fires (the Great Library of Alexandria was largely destroyed in one fracas) and, if not a love story, at least a tale of sex and power as Caesar and Cleopatra's relationship shaped these world-changing events.

Kniha - autor Karel Richter, 344 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Po mezihře v roli správce hispánské provincie se Caesarovi povedl mistrný tah. Smířil dva odvěké soupeře, Pompeia a Crassa. Vzájemnou spoluprací s těmito na svou dobu nejmocnějšími muži Říma utvořil trojici napříště známou jako první triumvirát. Tato spolupráce Caesarovi vynesla osmileté dobrodružství v Galii, které z něj po následující staletí učinilo legendu. Pokořil vzpurné Helvéty, odrazil germánské Sueby, učinil smělý výpad za Rýn a úspěšně obsazoval celou Galii. Crassova smrt v boji s Parthy roku 53 př. n. l. začala rdousit už tak skomírající římskou republiku. Události následujících deseti let měly impérium přetvořit tak jako žádné předtím. Během této doby Caesar čelil celogalské vzpouře, podlehl mu mocný Vercingetorix, podařilo se mu napadnout do té chvíle pro Řím nedotknutelnou Británii a osudovou se mu stala láska s egyptkou královnou, jejíž jméno je pro čtenáře tak známé jako...

Elektronická kniha ze série Ave Caesar, autor Karel Richter, 344 stran Ve druhé knize dvousvazkového díla představuje autor v poutavé podobě další osudy jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů, jakého dějiny poznaly. Rok 62 př. n. l. pro Gaia Julia Caesara znamenal mnoho. Četné skandály, ať už se jednalo o sprosté povídačky či nikoliv, poškodily jeho pověst. Funkce proprétora, správce Zadní Hispánie slibovala Caesarovi odpočinek, příležitost naplnit své truhlice i možnost dát znovu vyniknout svému státnickému a vojenskému intelektu. Vojenskými zásahy proti nepoddajným horským loupežným kmenům dosáhl zklidnění a uspořádání poměrů. Obsazoval a dobýval Římany dosud nepodrobená území Galicie, kde nastoloval římskou nadvládu a vytvářel podmínky pro zakládání římských kolonií. Všude zaváděl pořádek a platnost římských zákonů. Po návratu do Říma se Caesarovi podařil mistrný politický tah. Smířil dva odvěké soupeře, Pompeia...

Kniha - autor Karel Richter, 352 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Gaius Julius Caesar. Muž, jehož jméno se stalo synonymem moci. Muž mimořádných vlastností, vynikající vojenskou i politickou genialitou. Od mala byl vychováván v přesvědčení, že je potomkem bohů Jupitera, Venuše a zakladatelů Říma. Byla mu vštěpována cílevědomost, odpovědnost a láska k Římu. Již v raném věku se dostal kvůli strýci Mariovi, význačnému politikovi a státníkovi, do sporu s tehdy nejmocnějším mužem Říma - diktátorem Sullou. Jeho nepřízeň nutila mladého Caesara uchýlit se do provincie Asia a ověnčit své jméno hrdinstvím v boji. Potlačováním pirátské hrozby získal pověst chrabrého vojáka a nadaného stratéga. Žaloba předních korupčníků z řad nobility mu přinesla oblibu u lidu, která jej vynášela do vysokých republikánských úřadů. Jeho zvolení pontifikem maximem a přátelství s Pompeiem i Crassem mu otevřelo cestu k životní dráze, díky které jeho jméno zná celý svět.

Kniha - česky Shakespearova hra Julius Caesar patří k jeho nejznámějším politickým tragédiím. Shakespeare v ní podává strhující příběh nejznámější politické vraždy v dějinách. Jeho divadlo politiky je zároveň až znepokojivě aktuální, neboť jedinečným způsobem předvádí mocenskou manipulaci a klade otázky, které přes vzdálenost času neztratily nic na své naléhavosti. Může být vražda politickým nástrojem státní obrody? Jaká je role násilí v politice? Co je to občanská odpovědnost? Co je to lidská odpovědnost?
