| ARTICLES RELATED TO 76 | | | |  76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - The Campaign against the Pirates — Pompey in the EastBy 69 BC, Pompey was the darling of the Roman masses although many Optimates were deeply suspicious of his intentions. His primacy in the state was enhanced by two extraordinary proconsular commands, unprecedented in Roman history. In 67 BC, two years after his consulship, Pompey was nominated commander of a special naval task force to campaign against the pirates that controlled the Mediterranean. ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Caesar and the First Triumvirate Although Pompey and Crassus distrusted each other, by 61 BC their grievances pushed them both into an alliance with Caesar. Crassus' tax farming clients were being rebuffed at the same time Pompey's veterans were being ignored. Thus entered Caesar, six years younger than Pompey, returning from service in Hispania, and ready to seek the Consulship for 59 BC. Caesar somehow managed to forge a political alliance with both Pompey and Crassus (the so-called First Triumvirate). Pompey and Crassus would make him Consul, and he would use his power a ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Pompey’s Return to Rome In December 62 BC, Pompey finally returned to Rome with a dilemma to address. On one hand he wanted his third triumph, on the other he wanted to run for a second consulship. Roman laws state that a general cannot cross the pomerium without losing the right of the triumph, but an electoral candidate must be in the city in order to apply personally for the election. Pompey tried to use diplomacy and asked the senate to postpone the consular election for the day after the triumph. The Optimates, led by Cato the Younger, strongly opposed this an ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Zhang of Han - As crown prince Not much was recorded about Crown Prince Da's career as crown prince, other than he was taught of the Confucian classics at a young age and was encouraged in his studies by his adoptive mother, Empress Ma, with whom he had a close relation.

In 75, Emperor Ming died, and Crown Prince Da succeeded to the throne as Emepror Zhang at the age of 18. Empress Ma received the title of empress dowager.

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Hadrian - Hadrian and the military Despite his own excellence as a military administrator, Hadrian's reign was marked by a general lack of major military conflicts. He surrendered Trajan's conquests in Mesopotamia, considering them to be indefensible. There was almost a war with Parthia around 121, but the threat was averted when Hadrian succeeded in negotiating a peace. Hadrian's army crushed a massive Jewish uprising in Judea (132-135) led by Bar Kokhba.
The peace policy was strengthened by the erection of permanent fortifications along the empire's borders (limit ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Hadrian - Securing power Hadrian quickly secured the support of the legions - one potential opponent, Lusius Quietus, was instantly dismissed[5]. The Senate's endorsement followed when possibly falsified papers of adoption from Trajan were presented. Nevertheless, this rumor of a falsified document of adoption carried little weight. The real source of Hadrian's legitimacy arose from the endorsement of the armies of Syria and the Senate ratification. It is speculated that Trajan's wife Plotina forged the papers as historical doc ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Hadrian - Cultural pursuits and patronage Above all Hadrian patronized the arts: Hadrian's Villa at Tibur (Tivoli) was the greatest Roman example of an Alexandrian garden, recreating a sacred landscape, lost now in large part to the despoliation of the ruins by the Cardinal d'Este who had much of the marble removed to build his gardens. In Rome, the Pantheon, Rome built by Agrippa was enriched under Hadrian and took the form in which it remains to this day.
Hadrian was a humanist and deeply Hellenophile in all his tastes. While visiting Greece in 125 he attempted to create a ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Pope Julius II - Ascension to papacy However, a rivalry had gradually grown up between him and Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, and on the death of Innocent VIII in 1492 Borgia was elected Pope. Della Rovere, jealous and angry, accused Borgia of being elected over della Rovere by means of simony and a secret agreement with Ascanio Sforza. Della Rovere at once determined to take refuge from Borgia's wrath at Ostia, and in a few months afterwards went to Paris, where he incited Charles VIII to undertake the conquest of Naples(actually, it was Ludovico the Moor of Milan that encouraged hi ...

| | | | | 76: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Zhang of Han - Family background Then-Prince Da was born to then-Crown Prince Liu Zhuang and one of his consorts, Consort Jia, in 57. As Crown Prince Jia's favorite, Consort Ma -- Consort Jia's aunt (her mother's sister) -- had no sons, at Crown Prince Zhuang's instruction, Consort Ma adopted Prince Da as her own son. Prince Da therefore grew up considering Consort Ma as his mother, and while he clearly knew that Consort Jia was his birth mother, he never treated her as mother.
Also in 57, Prince Da's grandfather Emperor Guangwu died, and his father Crown Prince Zhua ...
