Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia - Bérénice

Bérénice is a tragedy by the French 17th-century playwright Jean Racine. It was first performed in 1670. Racine seems to have chosen the subject in competition with Pierre Corneille, who was working on his drama Tite et Bérénice at the same time. The subject was taken from the Roman historian Suetonius, who recounts the story of the Roman emperor Titus and Berenice of Cilicia, the sister of Herod Agrippa. Because Rome opposed their marriage, Titus had to renounce Berenice despite their love for each other. Racine raises t ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia - Miracle

According to many religions, a miracle, derived from the old Latin word miraculum meaning 'something wonderful', is a striking interposition of divine intervention by God in the universe by which the operations of the ordinary course of Nature are overruled, suspended, or modified. People in different faiths have substantially different definitions of the word miracle. Even within a specific religion there is often more than one usage of the term. Sometimes the term miracle may refer to the action of a supernatural being that is not a god. Then the term divine intervention refers spec ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia - Church of the Holy Sepulchre

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, called the Church of the Resurrection (Anastasis in Greek and Սուրբ Հարություն Surp Harutyun in Armenian) by Eastern Christians, is a Christian church now within the walled Old City of Jerusalem. The ground on which the church rests is venerated by most Christians as Golgotha, the Hill of Calvary, where the New Testament describes that Jesus was crucified. It also is said to contain the place where Jesus was reportedly buried (the sepulchre). The church has been an ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia - Claudius

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (August 1, 10 BC–October 13, 54), previously Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, was the fourth Roman Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, ruling from January 24, 41 to his death in 54. Born in Lugdunum in Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France), to Drusus and Antonia Minor, he was the first Roman Emperor to be born outside Italy. Claudius was considered a rather unlikely man to become emperor. He was reportedly afflicted with some type of disability, and his family had virtu ...

Claudius was born Tiberius Claudius Drusus on August 1, 10 BC in Lugdunum, Gaul, on the day of the dedication of an altar to Augustus.

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - I Claudius - Content

The message of the story appears to concern the relationship between liberty (as demonstrated by the Roman Republic, and the dedication to its ideals shown by Augustus and young Claudius) and stability (as demonstrated by Empress Livia, Herod Agrippa, and the elder Claudius). The Republic provided for freedom, but was inherently unstable and threw the doors open for endless civil wars, of which the last was ended by Augustus after twenty years of fighting. While Augustus harbors Republican sentiments, his wife Livia manages to convince him t ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - Church of the Holy Sepulchre - History

Eusebius describes in his Life of Constantine [1] how the site of the Holy Sepulchre, originally a site of veneration for the Christian community in Jerusalem, had been covered with earth and a temple of Venus had been built on top. Although Eusebius does not say as much, this would probably have been done as part of Hadrian's reconstruction of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina in 135, following the destruction of the Jewish Revolt of 70 and Bar Kokhba's revolt of 132–135. Following his conversion to Christianity, Emperor Constantine or ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - History of Galicia - Old Age

History of Galicia - Celtic Gallaecia. Main article Celtic Gallaecia. According the the first-century Geographer Strabo, the settlers resided on the north of the river Douro were known by the name of Kallaikoi; later the name Kallaikoi was translated into Latin as Gallaeci, Callaeci or Gallaicoi. It is necessary to show, on the other hand, that prior to the Roman conquest of Gallaecia, the main name the tribe received was the one of Gallaicoi, formed as local name (gentiliceSee also:

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - Claudius - Death, deification, and reputation

General consensus is that Claudius was murdered by poison — possibly contained in mushrooms — on October 13th, 54. There are various accounts, some of which implicate Halotus, his taster, and some Xenophon, his doctor[32]. Some say he died immediately, and some have him recovering only to be poisoned again. All implicate his wife, Agrippina, as the instigator. Now that Britannicus was approaching the age of majority, there was no need for Nero to be ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - Caligula - Caligula’s Insanity

Recent sources say that Caligula probably had encephalitis. Ancient sources, like Roman biographers Suetonius and Cassius Dio, describe Caligula having a "brain fever." Philo of Alexandria reports it was nothing more than a nervous breakdown, as Caligula was not used to the pressures of constant attention after being out of the public eye for most of his life. Rome waited in horror, praying that their beloved Emperor would recover. He became better, but his reign took a sharp turn. The death of Gemellus and of Silanus, Caligula's father- ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - I Claudius - Adaptations for film and television

The book was to have been the subject of a 1937 film, produced by Alexander Korda and starring Charles Laughton, but it was dogged by ill-luck, culminating in a serious accident involving the female star, Merle Oberon, which caused filming to be abandoned. Some rushes still exist; the BBC featured them in a programme about Claudius some years ago, and were able to cut them together to make about five minutes' running time. In 1976, the book, together with its sequel, was adapted for television by the BBC, and proved one of the corpora ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - Caligula - Assassination

Caligula was murdered following a conspiracy amongst officers of the Praetorian Guard, who apparently acted for purely personal reasons. However, it appears that the officers had at least the support of some senators and an imperial freedman. As with conspiracies in general, the plot may have been more extensive than the sources indicate, and may even have enjoyed the support of the next emperor Claudius, but there is litt ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - History of Galicia - Contemporary Galicia

Galician nationalist and federalist movements arose in the nineteenth century, and after the Second Spanish Republic was declared in 1931, Galicia became an autonomous region following a referendum. Socialists and anarchists attempted a coup d'état on 6 October 1934 in Asturias and Catalonia. That day Catalan politician Lluís Companys i Jover proclaimed Catalonia a free and independent republic. Miners in Asturias revolted, occupying Oviedo, leading to the death of about 40 people. The attempt of rebels to seize the government offic ...

Herod Agrippa: Encyclopedia II - Claudius - Claudius' affliction and personality

The historian Suetonius describes the physical manifestations of Claudius' affliction in detail[1]. His knees were weak and gave way under him and his head shook. He stammered and his speech was confused. He slobbered and his nose ran when excited. The Stoic Seneca states in his Apocolocyntosis that Claudius' voice belonged to no land animal, and that his hands were weak as well[2]. However, he showed no physical deformity, as Suetonius notes that when c ...
