Das Byzantinische Reich wurde während des chaotischen dritten Jahrhunderts gegründet. Es war die Zeit, in der Aufstände und Bürgerkriege an der Tagesordnung waren und die römischen Kaiser nur ein Jahr im Amt blieben. Obwohl es eine der fesselndsten historischen Epochen aller Zeiten ist, ist das Byzantinische Reich weniger bekannt, und es ist selten, dass man ein fesselndes Buch zu diesem Thema findet. Aber das wird sich jetzt ändern.

During the formative years of Egyptian civilization, each Cosmogony was present. Students from many regions and segments of society attended the Houses of Life, and royals regularly donated endowments for the temple's maintenance and activities. These circumstances suggest a theological harmony, suggesting that a group of religious centers must have been cohesive despite their distinctive teachings and practices. Regardless of time or place in popularity, each creation myth was integral to the Egyptians' worldview.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.

SCHIETTA, CHIARA, PER TUTTI. LA STORIA RACCONTATA DA INDRO MONTANELLI. "Il Barbarossa". Tratto da "L'Italia dei comuni", un focus sulla figura di un sovrano che in Italia ha lasciato il segno. Oltre a una descrizione dell'uomo e del politico Federico II, Indro Montanelli tratteggia con precisione e acume la situazione italiana del XII secolo, gli scontri tra Impero e Papato, la complessa e cangiante rete di alleanze delle città del Nord. Fino alla battaglia di Legnano e a quel Carroccio che sarà elemento duraturo nell'immaginario collettivo italiano.

"Ab Urbe Condita". La fondazione di Roma. Tratto dal più venduto dei volumi di Montanelli, "Storia di Roma", si ripercorre qui, tra mito e storiografia, la fondazione della città che darà vita all'Impero più longevo di sempre. Un saggio esemplare dello stile divulgativo di Montanelli, capace di mettere in luce, a tratti con ironia e con grande sapienza stilistica, i rapporti con i popoli italici, soprattutto gli etruschi, che avrebbero poi generato quel particolare milieu culturale destinato a governare il mondo nell'antichità.
