Cuentan que la historia la escriben los vencedores. Durante veinte años he rechazado esa frase y sus implicaciones porque sé que los derrotados también cuentan su versión. La crónica de los fracasos de la Division del Norte y el Ejercito Libertador del Sur ha sido narrada, durante decadas, siguiendo el guion diseñado por quienes resultaron victoriosos; por quienes tenian que destruir lo que representaban para imponer el modelo politico bajo el cual vivimos. La version de los vencedores, plagada de calumnias historiograficas, arranca con la premisa de que Zapata y Villa, con todo a su favor, perdieron porque no tenian un proyecto nacional. Tras casi veinte años de investigacion de archivo, de caminar los campos de batalla, de preguntar y cuestionarme, encontre que quiza las cosas fueron de otro modo.

¿Es posible que Nerón no incendiara Roma? ¿O que Livia no planeara el asesinato de todos los herederos al trono e incluso de su propio esposo? ¿Acaso los romanos no vomitaban durante las comidas? La historia esta viva y cambia continuamente de mano en mano. Quien la escribe tiene el poder de viajar en el tiempo y cambiar el pasado, de alterarla interpretando lo sucedido desde su propio punto de vista. Asi, muchas veces ocurre que la historia que nos han contado no se corresponde exactamente con la realidad.En este libro se desvelan las fake news del mundo romano: los engaños, bulos y mentiras que nos han contado sobre la historia de la antigua Roma. Aquellos que han creado, a veces incluso sin querer, los propios historiadores, los que se han formado por culpa del espeso velo que cubre la historia con el paso del tiempo, los que han quedado inmortalizados en peliculas, series y novelas e incluso los que los propios romanos generaron sobre ellos mismos. Desde la propaganda politica de los emperadores, hasta la realidad sobre la gente corriente, olvidada en los bajos fondos de Roma, pasando por las mayores perjudicadas del mundo antiguo, las mujeres, que han sufrido el escarnio de una historia creada exclusivamente por y para los hombres. Todos ellos encontraran ahora la verdad de sus historias ocultas.

Epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions, is critical for anyone seeking to understand the Roman world, whether they regard themselves as literary scholars, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, religious scholars or work in a field that touches on the Roman world from c. 500 BCE to 500 CE and beyond.The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy is the fullest collection of scholarship on the study and history of Latin epigraphy produced to date. Rather that just a collection of inscriptions, however, this volume seeks to show why inscriptions matter and demonstrate to classicists and ancient historians how to work with the sources.To that end, the 35 chapters, written by senior and rising scholars in Roman history, classics, and epigraphy, cover everything from typograph to the importance of inscriptions for understanding many aspects of Roman culture, from Roman public life, to slavery, to the roles and lives of women, to the military, and to life in the provinces.Students and scholars alike will find the Handbook a crritical tool for expanding their knowledge of the Roman world.Offers a guide to how to read and study inscriptions, rather than just a simple reproduction of them and includes over 150 detailed drawings and black and white photographs.

The landscape around us is largely the result of man-made transformations. It consists of villages, farmsteads, cities, fields, ditches, and roads. This book examines how the landscape of the Mediterranean country of Catalonia was created and transformed. Although Catalonia's history goes back before the Middle Ages, it was during the medieval period that it saw significant development, which has continued ever since. Understanding the landscape helps us understand political, social, economic, and cultural changes. In this book we discover how the settlements built around a castle or a church were created, and what the open villages and new towns were like, both in Catalonia and in neighbouring territories. The book also explores the formation of cities and towns as well as the significance of hamlets and farmsteads, based on data provided by written documents and archaeological excavations. It also explores the formation of fields, ditches, and irrigated areas, and shows the importance of understanding the boundaries and demarcations that enclose valleys, villages, castles, and parishes. Finally, special attention is devoted to place names and cartography, as these shed light on numerous historical realities.

This volume covers the history of the Roman Empire from the accession of Septimius Severus in AD 193 to the death of Constantine in AD 337. This period was one of the most critical in the history of the Mediterranean world. It begins with the establishment of the Severan dynasty as a result of civil war. From AD 235 this period of relative stability was followed by half a century of short reigns of short-lived emperors and a number of military attacks on the eastern and northern frontiers of the empire. This was followed by the First Tetrarchy (AD 284305), a period of collegial rule in which Diocletian, with his colleague Maximian and two junior Caesars (Constantius and Galerius), restabilised the empire. The period ends with the reign of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, who defeated Licinius and established a dynasty which lasted for thirty-five years.
