Podcasts about aequi

In 1947, several farmers founded the Cincinnato Cooperative in Cori with the purpose of processing and selling their own production and supporting the progress of local agriculture. They chose its name in honour of lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, who led the battle against the Aequi in 458 bc. Following his victory, this great roman turned down the honours and public offices offered to him, preferring to return to his land, which is said to have been in this area. In 1979, an innovative winery using cutting-edge technologies was built. Over the years the cooperative has shown itself capable of dealing with the changing conditions affecting local viticulture, maintaining a leading role in the transformation of the grapes of the entire district.Cincinnato put in place a quality project to recover and support the heirloom grape varieties Nero Buono and Bellone.Cincinnato is now a modern winery of 130 growers and 550 hectares, whose estates are a feature of Cori's hilly landscape. The business is known for its production of wines from rare native grape varieties such as Nero Buono, Bellone, Cesanese and Greco. It is also renowned for its attention to the environment and its production of affordable wines.

Deze aflevering beschrijft de miraculeuze wederopstanding van Rome na de plundering door de Galliërs en beschrijft het tijdvak tussen plusminus 400 en 350 v. Chr. We zetten een historische kanttekening bij de plundering van Rome en analyseren de wederopstanding en de expansie die werd ingezet met het veroveren van Veii in 392 v. Chr. Deze aflevering maakt deel uit van een tweeluik over deze periode. Dit deel staat in het teken van de buitenlandse politiek, de volgende aflevering zal gaan over de binnenlandse politiek.Hier vind je een link naar de website.Hier vind je een link naar de Facebookpagina.

In 495 - 493 v. Chr. steken in Rome onlusten op onder de plebejers. De groep voelt zich benadeeld door de Patriciërs en ze komen in steeds sterkere mate op voor hun belangen. De problemen spelen zo hoog op dat de Senatoren moeten vrezen voor hun veiligheid, het Senaatsgebouw bijna wordt platgebrand en zelfs de Consuls niet zeker zijn van hun veiligheid. Terwijl de vijand richting Rome marcheert doet de eerste vastgelegde staking in de geschiedenis zich voor. De plebejers weigeren te vechten voor het bestaan van de stad. De crisis zorgt voor de uiteindelijke instelling van de Tribunus Plebis of Volkstribuun.Hier vind je de link naar de website.Hier vind je de link naar de Facebookpagina.

Episode 46 – The Third Samnite War— That's right, when the Etruscans heard that Corvus was leading the roman troops, they got into their fort and did not want to come out, not even to check on the weather.For the third time, the Samnites. And some say, third time is a charm. And in this case, it was exactly like that. It's the last years of Marcus Valerius Corvus' life.Partial TranscriptHello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast.The Tale of Rome, Episode 46 — The Third Samnite War.Peace reigned supreme in Rome.We are in the year 302 BC, or — as the Roman liked to refer to their years — we are in the year of the consulship of Denter and Paulus.Less than six months ago, peace treaties were ratified by the Senate of Rome, and now — Romans were the masters, of all of Central Italy.And just as we've seen in our last episode, there was no shortage of heroes, either.Take two examples?Fabius Rullianus and Papirius Cursor.Yep. It does happen at times. All of the sudden, it happens that a generation springs up in some places, and — suddenly, a nation finds itself blessed, by a generation of people who simply do stuff better.Better than their parents, and better than their grandparents, at times.It's like a wave — like the waves of the ocean, coming ashore. Every so often, you get a bigger one, a prettier one, and sometimes you can tell by counting the waves in between, but sometimes you can't.Yep. Sometimes, it's almost like magic.It happened in the States, with the baby boomers, and it happened in Argentina, with the incredible soccer generation, that saw people like Maradona, rise and fall.True.Sometimes, a generation like this, changes the destiny of a sport, a view on things, or even a nation, — even for a whole century, only to disappear after that, and never to return.These waves usually leave nostalgia behind, and a strong taste that thing used to be better, before.A legacy, if you will.Alright, before I go all the way off the topic, here is an overview of the stuff we'll be seeing today.For that — I made a short list, of five topics.Have a listen.ONE — The years 302, 301, and 300 BC, from a legislative point of view. Two important laws are coming out in these years, and we wanna be there, and see what they are all about.Their names are — the Lex Valeria, and the Lex Ogulnia.TWO — We are also getting to see Marcus Valerius Corvus again, who — by now — is being addressed as Marcus Valerius Maximus Corvus.[…]In the year 300 BC, Corvus was elected again, to lead the destiny of Rome — but this time as a Consul, and not as a Dictator.His mission this time was to finish the thing with the Aequi, and this was the fifth time, he was elected Consul of Rome.But — that year — Corvus was doing something more than just leading troops, and winning things for Rome.Yep. In the year 300 BC, Corvus decided to give his support to the two laws that we talked about, earlier on.Let me explain.First — Since Corvus was totally in favor of the Lex Ogulnia, he made sure that, the day the law passed, he was present in Rome, standing — right in front of the building that was housing the College of Pontiffs.He also made sure he was there, when the first Plebeian priests joined the ranks of those Pontifex.And second — He himself helped push the Lex Valeria through the red tape, by means of a legal move, known as the provocatio, or the right to stand up for the people of Rome.[…]

This time Romans don't fight the Latins. Instead, they have to face the dangerous Aequi tribe.Partial TranscriptHello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast.The Tale of Rome, Episode 19 – The Battle of Mons Algidus.Last week we saw the arrival of the Twelve Tables.Written laws so that all Romans could be tried and treated the same way.And we also saw how all over Rome people learned those laws by heart. Among them, the oh-so-eager eight-year-old boy in our little family saga.To give you a few more examples of what these Tables contained, lets check out  a few of these laws:Killing an intruder in one's own house, if it was nighttime, was OK. No punishment, not even a case. But if it was daytime, the homeowner had to get the intruder to a magistrate for trial.If the court called a person to appear in front of a judge, and if that person was incapacitated in any way, the court would out send four soldiers, and four slaves to bring the man to the courthouse.But if the person's issue was an infectious disease, the date of the trial was postponed until above mentioned infection had passed, up to a period of six months.During those six months, the other person, the accuser, had the right to go to the defendant's house every three days, stand in front of the house of the accused, and yell in a loud voice, reminding the accuser that a trial awaited him. The purpose, of course was to embarrass the entire family by this way.When a lawsuit began, the judge gave two options to the opposing parties:ONE – To agree and resolve the problem without any involvement from the judge, andTWO – To not to agree, and go the nearest forum of the court in question, on the next working day. A debate would start there. That debate usually began around sunrise, and by obligation, a judge had to resolve the case before sunset.[…]After a crippling march, the Roman army arrived at the height of the mountain.They arrived at night.Cinncinatus sent the people in Tusculum a secret message, so that the Romans who were trapped inside the beleaguered city knew, they would be free soon.[…]

Finally, laws that can be seen, touched, and learnt by heart. And that's exactly what illiterate people, as well as lawyers do all over Rome. They recite their brand-new laws, compiled in Twelve Tables by heart.Partial TranscriptHello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast.The Tale of Rome, Episode 18 – The Twelve Tables.Last week we saw the installation of a new office in the Republic of Rome: the Plebeian Tribune.I also mentioned of a Roman general, who — in my personal opinion, was a cowardly general, by the name of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, and we will see what that man did in the year 491 BC.But first we will see the general panorama of Rome, now that Rome defeated the Latins, and now that supposedly Rome wasn't going to have problems, no more.Well, if you think like that, you're wrong. Rome's troubles are about to begin!As a very general picture, Rome was now surrounded by three enemies.The Etruscans to the north, with the city of Veii as its main protagonist.The terrible Volsci to the south, and the Aequi to the east, right where the hills begin.[…]In fact, everyone was learning those laws by heart. Lawyers and magistrates, defendants and accusers, debtors and tax collectors, children and the elderly, all were busy memorizing pieces of Roman law.The tables contained several laws, some very logical, and some somewhat strange to our day and age. As an example, not appearing in front of a judge, or lying to a judge during a trial, deserved a death penalty.Another law said that throwing a gun into a crowd, carried the conviction that the person who threw the gun had to pay a sheep to every injured person.I'm going to list more laws in the next episode, but as for the historical account of these tables, here's what Livy tells us:◆ Tables I, II, and III contained civil procedural law.◆ Tables IV, V were entitled to family and inheritance.◆ Tables VI, VII were entitled to obligations, in other words, legal businesses of the time, and real estate rights.◆ Tables VIII, IX dealt with the criminal law of the time.◆ Table X contained the Sacred Law, a series of rules referring to the order of the inner life of the city.◆ and finally, tables XI and XII, also called the Unfair Tables, dealt with several criminal and civil problems.[…]

The terrible Volsci to the south, and the Aequi to the east, right where the hills begin. […] In fact, everyone was learning those laws by heart. Lawyers and magistrates, defendants and accusers, debtors and tax collectors, children and the elderly, all were busy memorizing pieces of Roman law. The tables contained several laws, some very logical, and some somewhat strange to our day and age. As an example, not appearing in front of a judge, or lying to a judge during a trial, deserved a death penalty. Another law said that throwing a gun into a crowd, carried the conviction that the person who threw the gun had to pay a sheep to every injured person. I’m going to list more laws in the next episode, but as for the historical account of these tables, here’s what Livy tells us: ? Tables I, II, and III contained civil procedural law. ? Tables IV, V were entitled to family and inheritance. ? Tables VI, VII were entitled to obligations, in other words, legal businesses of the time, and real estate rights. ?
