Originally built in the 3rd century BCE, the ancient Greek theater of Taormina is the second largest Greek theater in Sicily after Siracusa. Constructed against the natural slope of Mt. Taurus, the structure can accommodate up to10,000 spectators and offers spectacular views of the Ionian Sea and Mt. Etna. It is still used today for musical performances and film festivals.

Hellenistic astrology is the old root system beneath the Western astrology we know today. It took shape around the Mediterranean, especially in Egypt under Greek and Roman rule, over roughly eight hundred years, from the late 2nd century BCE into the 7th century CE. It grew where traditions met and mingled: the Mesopotamian habit of reading the sky, the Egyptian decans that divide the heavens into ten-degree stretches, and the Greek love of philosophy and reason. Together they gave us the birth chart, a map of the sky at the moment you arrived, and nearly everything in Western astrology since has grown from it.In this episode, I speak with Katrine Waugh, who is an experiential astrologer focused on Hellenistic astrology, with a passion for threading astrology into everyday life and inviting people to recognize the impact of their participation in this lifetime.What an incredible conversation this was with Katrine, and I learned so much and had many moments of connectivity and awakening.

The Book of Daniel is set in the sixth century BCE, during the Babylonian exile. It describes visions of empires rising and falling — and for a long stretch, the sequence tracks real history with remarkable precision. Kingdom after kingdom, exactly as it happened. Then, at a certain point, it stops being right. That break is one of the most important pieces of evidence. Bart joins host Megan Lewis to explain what Daniel gets right, where it goes wrong, and why the exact point of failure tells us when the book was really written. And Bart will talk about how this book and its ideas may have shaped Jesus' thinking. 

El Gobierno todavía negocia los apoyos al decreto de vivienda que prevé aprobar este martes en Consejo de Ministros. El Ministerio de Vivienda ha lanzado algunas líneas que todavía no convencen a la izquierda ni al ala de Sumar en la coalición, que ve lejos un acuerdo. El ministro de Exteriores de Irán, Abás Araqchí, afirma que siguen las negociaciones indirectas con EEUU y que espera una respuesta. La presidenta del BCE, Christine Lagarde, afirma que las subidas de tipos para frenar la inflación no son el factor principal de la crisis actual para el acceso a una vivienda.

Les taux français à 10 ans frôlent désormais 4,8 %, un niveau inédit depuis la création de l'euro, signe d'une nervosité croissante des investisseurs face à nos comptes publics et à une charge d'intérêt qui pourrait atteindre 100 milliards. Malgré les fuites sur un effort budgétaire de 45 milliards, les taux continuent de grimper, montrant que les marchés doutent de la capacité du gouvernement à stabiliser la trajectoire. Entre débat parlementaire explosif, présidentielle incertaine et spread franco allemand sous surveillance, la pression pourrait encore s'intensifier.

Le projet de loi de finances prévoit 54 milliards d'effort, mais son adoption reste incertaine entre risque de censure, gel du point d'indice, rabot de 10 milliards sur les ministères et retraités mis à contribution. Avec un déficit encore à 5% en 2027, des taux proches de 4,8 % et des marchés qui testent le spread franco allemand, la France pourrait devoir enchaîner les efforts en 2028. Entre tension politique, nervosité financière et menace d'un spread à 200 points de base, la question est de savoir si un budget peut réellement passer avant Noël.

Mejora el aspecto respecto a las primeras horas en los mercados. A primera hora el aspecto era más débil, con los rendimientos tensionados y las Bolsas flojas. Aún así, la presión del petróleo y de los intereses de la deuda persiste sobre unos mercados que aguardan novedades sobre Irán y sobre las próximas referencias macro. En el plano monetario, tras escuchar ayer a una dovish Lagarde, la atención se centra en más eclaraciones desde BCE y Fed. Ha caído por debajo del 40% la probabilidad implícita de una subida del BCE en octubre, lo que explica la debilidad del euro. Este contexto se ve reforzado por la batería de datos macro europeos, con la inflación preliminar de España en septiembre repuntando hasta el 4,6% interanual. Australia ha subido tipos mientras que China apunta al establecimiento de nuevas políticas pro-crecimiento, incluyendo posibles ayudas al sector inmobiliario. La actividad de fusiones y adquisiciones sigue aportando dinamismo al mercado, con KKR y RWE uniendo fuerzas en una oferta no vinculante por Uniper. El análisis es de José Basagoiti, de Trading Pro. Con Pedro Santa Cruz, de Freedom24 Iberia, hablamos de la gran expectación ante próximo lanzamiento de GTA VI.

It is impossible to study the Bible without crashing into the word 'Hellenism', the spread of Greek culture across the ancient world by Alexander (the Great). But who was Alexander, and what do his successors have to do with the Bible? To find out, Helen and Lloyd take a trip in the Time Machine with Dr Stephen Harrison, an expert on Alexander the Great. Dr Stephen Harrison is Senior Lecturer in Classics at Swansea University, and a historian of ancient Greece and the ancient Near East, focusing on the sixth to the second centuries BCE, the era of the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic kingdoms. He is the author of Achaemenid Kingship, Alexander the Great, and the Early Seleucids (EUP, 2025) as well as a popular life of Alexander, Alexander the Great: Lives and Legacies (Reaktion Books 2025). Support the showTheme music written and performed by Dave Roos, creator of Biblical Time Machine.

¿Qué presiona tanto al oro como a la plata? ¿Se oficializarán esas tres o cuatro subidas más que descuenta el BCE? Con Brais Prieto, analista técnico y macro en Marot Strategies.

Francia no puede contar con el BCE para solucionar sus problemas de deuda, según el gobernador del Banco de Francia, Emmanuel Moulin. Es más, el país debería hacer todo lo posible para evitar una crisis de deuda soberana a medida que se acercan las elecciones presidenciales del 2027 porque sería un error esperar que desde Francfort acudan al rescate. Las acciones de las mayores constructoras del Reino Unido se disparan este lunes después de que el gobierno haya anunciado que pondrá en marcha un nuevo programa de préstamos para ayudar a los compradores de primera vivienda. Y de vuelta a la actualidad nacional, De vuelta a la actualidad nacional, el gobierno quiere llevar al Consejo de Ministros de mañana martes un decreto de vivienda “ambicioso y transversal”.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 25 Settembre 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali e internazionali.Fisco e Manovra: il nodo della concentrazione dell'IRPEFTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / la Repubblica / Domani / Il MessaggeroIl dato fiscale più significativo riguarda la forte concentrazione del gettito IRPEF.Secondo Il Sole 24 Ore, circa il 30% dei contribuenti versa quasi il 79% dell'IRPEF.Il Corriere della Sera, utilizzando una diversa aggregazione statistica, evidenzia invece che circa 25 milioni di italiani non versano IRPEF e che il 19% dei contribuenti sostiene circa il 65% dell'imposta.La Stampa completa il quadro indicando che circa la metà dei contribuenti paga appena il 5% dell'IRPEF.Le percentuali fanno riferimento a platee e fasce differenti, ma convergono nell'indicare una base imponibile effettiva fortemente concentrata.Sul tavolo della manovra prende forma l'ipotesi di ridurre al 33% l'aliquota per i redditi fino a 60.000 euro, insieme a una possibile flat tax sugli incrementi retributivi dei giovani.Tra le altre misure allo studio figura una cedolare secca per le locazioni dei negozi e ulteriori interventi rivolti al ceto medio.Si tratta ancora di ipotesi e non di norme definitive.La Ragioneria dello Stato avrebbe inoltre frenato sulle nuove ipotesi di pensionamento anticipato a causa del problema delle coperture.Lo spazio disponibile per la manovra rimane quindi limitato: qualsiasi riduzione strutturale delle entrate deve confrontarsi con la rigidità della spesa pubblica.Redditi ed evasione: il problema dell'equilibrio fiscaleTestate: la Repubblica / principali testate economicheNel dibattito fiscale entra anche il tema dell'impatto dell'evasione sulle generazioni più giovani.Repubblica richiama l'attenzione sulle differenze di trattamento tra lavoro dipendente e alcune categorie di lavoro autonomo.La questione assume una dimensione economica più ampia: un sistema fiscale percepito come squilibrato può incidere negativamente sugli incentivi al lavoro, sulla crescita delle retribuzioni e sulla mobilità professionale.Un eventuale pacchetto fiscale concentrato sulla riduzione del cuneo e sull'aumento dei redditi disponibili potrebbe invece sostenere consumi, risparmio e domanda interna.La variabile decisiva rimane però la sostenibilità delle coperture finanziarie.Diesel e logistica: un nuovo rischio inflazionisticoTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Milano Finanza / Financial Times / la RepubblicaUna possibile restrizione delle esportazioni statunitensi di diesel rappresenta uno dei principali rischi energetici della giornata.Il diesel proveniente dagli Stati Uniti può coprire circa il 10% del fabbisogno europeo.Un'interruzione o una riduzione significativa delle forniture avrebbe quindi conseguenze immediate sui prezzi, sulla raffinazione e sulla logistica europea.Anche il Financial Times segnala le pressioni dell'industria petrolifera americana contro eventuali limitazioni alle esportazioni.Gli effetti cominciano già a emergere a valle: in alcune filiere il costo necessario per portare i prodotti alimentari sugli scaffali sarebbe aumentato fino al 15%.È un passaggio particolarmente importante perché mostra il meccanismo attraverso cui uno shock energetico può trasformarsi in inflazione dei beni tramite l'aumento dei costi di trasporto.Rimane inoltre la vulnerabilità italiana rispetto allo Stretto di Hormuz e, più in generale, alla concentrazione geografica delle fonti di approvvigionamento.Diversificazione delle forniture, infrastrutture energetiche, efficienza e nuova capacità produttiva assumono quindi un valore contemporaneamente strategico e industriale.Banche: il risiko europeo entra in una fase più concretaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Stampa / Italia Oggi / QNSul fronte UniCredit-Commerzbank, Bettina Orlopp apre alla possibilità di un confronto, pur ribadendo l'obiettivo dell'indipendenza di Commerzbank.Tra le ipotesi discusse compare una fusione inversa tra HVB e Commerzbank, che consentirebbe di utilizzare la controllata tedesca di UniCredit come veicolo dell'operazione.La stampa italiana descrive però la trattativa ancora in una “fase zero”, quindi lontana da un accordo definito.Parallelamente continua il riassetto del sistema bancario italiano.Gli azionisti di MPS sono chiamati a esprimersi sulle operazioni che coinvolgono Mediobanca.Viene inoltre segnalata l'ipotesi di una possibile iniziativa congiunta UniCredit-Crédit Agricole su Banco BPM.Mediobanca procede intanto con una cartolarizzazione da 650 milioni di euro, segnale di una gestione attiva del capitale e degli attivi bancari.Frodi digitali e tokenizzazione: cambia il rischio bancarioTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / Italia OggiAccanto al consolidamento bancario cresce il peso della sicurezza digitale.Le frodi digitali considerate nell'analisi del settore vengono quantificate in 269 milioni di euro.Il Corriere racconta inoltre una sofisticata frode attraverso un falso WhatsApp che avrebbe provocato un ammanco di 36 milioni di euro, collegato all'ex vertice di Fideuram.Nel Regno Unito alcune banche stanno contemporaneamente sperimentando lo scambio di depositi tokenizzati.In Europa aumenta anche l'attenzione sul quadro normativo delle cripto-attività e sull'applicazione del regolamento MiCA.Cybersecurity, identità digitale, tokenizzazione e fiducia del cliente diventano quindi elementi sempre più rilevanti anche dal punto di vista economico, e non soltanto tecnologico.Bond e tassi: il 5% torna al centro dei mercatiTestate: Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Financial Times / Il Sole 24 OreLa pressione sui titoli di Stato rimane elevata.Il rendimento del Treasury USA decennale raggiunge il 5,12%.Piazza Affari chiude contemporaneamente in calo di circa 0,8%, in una seduta condizionata da petrolio, geopolitica e aumento dei rendimenti.Anche i BTP registrano nuove pressioni sui rendimenti.Per gli investitori obbligazionari lo scenario presenta due effetti opposti: l'aumento dei tassi penalizza le quotazioni dei titoli a lunga duration già presenti in portafoglio, ma rende progressivamente più interessante l'impiego di nuova liquidità a rendimenti nominali superiori.La BCE vede inoltre l'inflazione significativamente sopra il 2% fino alla metà del 2027, riducendo le aspettative di un rapido ritorno a tassi molto bassi.Negli Stati Uniti i mutui trentennali superano il 7%, con conseguenze potenziali sull'immobiliare residenziale, sui consumi e sulla capacità di rifinanziamento delle famiglie.A Francoforte si apre anche un tema di governance: Isabel Schnabel lascia la BCE per il Fondo Monetario Internazionale, mentre comincia il dibattito sulla futura successione di Christine Lagarde.Imprese italiane: fintech, welfare e nuovi capitaliTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere Torino / Milano Finanza / MediaKey / FocusMO / Il BielleseDal welfare aziendale arriva uno dei segnali più interessanti della giornata.La fintech italiana Tundr ha chiuso un Series A da 11,6 milioni di euro, con investitori tra cui CDP Venture Capital, 360 Capital e Azimut.La società dichiara una crescita di circa +200% annuo per tre anni.Tundr gestisce attualmente i benefit di circa 2.000 aziende e oltre 100.000 dipendenti.Nel capitale figurano anche Crédit Agricole Italia, Kairos Partners e Sella Direct Ventures.L'operazione mostra una crescente integrazione tra welfare aziendale, payroll, banche, assicurazioni e piattaforme digitali.Sul fronte del social housing, il FEI investe inoltre 50 milioni di euro nel fondo Pitagora.

El clima de consumo en Alemania sufre un revés significativo. El indicador cae 3,8 puntos hasta los -30,6 puntos, su nivel más bajo desde mayo, según el indicador GfK. Debido no solo a una mayor disposición al ahorro, sino, sobre todo, a una caída significativa de las expectativas de ingresos. La mayoría de los hogares prevén que los altos precios de la energía reduzcan su poder adquisitivo.. como consecuencia, se muestran más escépticos respecto a sus expectativas de ingresos para los próximos doce meses. Después de que Isabel Schnabel haya anunciado su salida del BCE en enero, empieza la carrera para ver quién podría sustituir a la alemana, al economista jefe Philip Lane y a la presidenta Christine Lagarde que terminan sus mandatos el año que viene. Países Bajos ya tiene a su  candidato: el exgobernador Klaas Knot. Vuelven los rumores sobre la banca italiana.. UniCredit y Crédit Agricole estarían considerando aunar fuerzas para lanzar una oferta pública de adquisición para hacerse con el banco BPM y luego repartírselo entre los dos. Airbus y Dassault Aviation podrían volver a enfrentarse por la sustitución de los F-16 de Portugal, después del fracaso del futuro Sistema Aéreo de Combate o FCAS y las dificultades en torno al Eurodrone.

How did ancient Assyria use divination, astrology, and animal livers to make decisions of war, government, and royal policy? Under King Esarhaddon, the Neo-Assyrian Empire developed one of the ancient world's most sophisticated systems of omen interpretation, combining centuries of recorded observations with extispicy, celestial omens, ritual expertise, and consultation with the gods.This episode examines the intellectual world of Assyrian divination and the system of experts who advised the royal court. Mesopotamian scholars collected and analyzed omens over generations, searching for correlations between unusual events, astronomical phenomena, medical symptoms, animal behavior, and subsequent historical outcomes. Their methods could involve careful empirical observation, elaborate textual traditions, linguistic interpretation, and an underlying theological assumption that the gods were ultimately responsible for events in the natural and political world.At the center of the episode is Esarhaddon, king of Assyria from 681–669 BCE, whose surviving correspondence preserves an extraordinary record of royal consultation with scholars and diviners. We examine letters from court intellectuals, the formulation of oracle questions, the use of sacrificial sheep in extispicy, and the interpretation of the liver and other internal organs as signs of divine intention.The episode also explores the specialized scholarly professions surrounding the Assyrian court: the ṭupšarru or learned scribe and celestial observer, the bārû or diviner and haruspex, the āšipu or ritual and magical specialist, the kalû or lamentation priest and chanter, and the asû or physician. Together these experts formed a complex advisory system through which observations were gathered, questions formulated, divine answers interpreted, and practical, ritual, or religious responses carried out.More broadly, the episode asks how closely Mesopotamian omen scholarship resembles science. Assyrian and Babylonian scholars relied heavily on accumulated observation, classification, written records, specialized training, and the testing of inherited traditions against experience. At the same time, their investigations remained embedded within a theological model in which the gods were the direct causes of events and deliberately made their intentions visible through signs.Topics include Neo-Assyrian religion, Mesopotamian divination, extispicy and hepatoscopy, Assyrian astrology, the State Archives of Assyria, Esarhaddon, ancient science, omen literature, cuneiform scholarship, the Tablet of Destinies, Enūma Anu Enlil, Šumma Ālu, Šumma Izbu, royal prophecy, ritual magic, and the intellectual culture of the ancient Near East.Music from the show: oldeststories.net/music (or search "Oldest Stories Music")Support the show:Books: https://a.co/d/7Wn4jhSDonate: oldeststories.netPatreon / YouTube members get bonus episodes: patreon.com/JamesBleckleyNo-AI readings of ancient texts: youtube.com/@osnightreading

Herodotus' Histories Vol 1Herodotus (c.484 BCE - 425 BCE)Translated by A. D. Godley (1856 - 1925)The Histories of Herodotus of Halicarnassus is considered the first work of history in Western literature. Written about 440 BC, the Histories tell the story of the war between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. Herodotus traveled extensively around the ancient world, conducting interviews and collecting stories for his book. The rise of the Persian Empire is chronicled, and the causes for the conflict with Greece. Herodotus treats the conflict as an ideological one, frequently contrasting the absolute power of the Persian king with the democratic government of the Greeks.

Les tensions au Moyen-Orient provoquent une hausse des prix de l'énergie et une forte inflation dans de nombreux pays. En France, cette situation fragilise les entreprises, notamment les pêcheurs, qui ont bloqué plusieurs ports et un dépôt pétrolier. Le gouvernement a annoncé, ce jeudi soir, prendre des engagements. La ministre déléguée chargée de la Mer et de la Pêche, Catherine Chabaud, a assuré que les aides "suivront la variation des cours du carburant".

These Upanisads (c. 800-300 BCE) are almost always read from the point of view of the later Vedantins, but they do not share in the neatly tailored characteristics of the mature Vedantic philosophies, representing, instead, divergent, variegated and even conflicting narratives. In The Upanisads as They Are (Bloomsbury, 2026) the author focuses on the earliest of these Upanisads: Brhadaranyaka, Chandogya, Aitareya, Taittiriya, Kausitaki. These Upanisads are read “as they are,” emphasizing aspects of these texts that are often completely overlooked, among them: their Vedic approach to contradiction, their frequent acceptance of means other than gnostic knowledge of or veneration of atman/brahman as a means for liberation, their positing of entities/realities other than atman or brahman as totalistic, and their frequent depiction of the human body or embodied human as a microcosm of or in identity with the universe. In course, the interpretations of the Upani?adic view, the Vedantic view, for each of these Upani?ads, of Sa?karacarya (c. 800 CE) and Ramanujacarya (c. 1100 CE), as primary examples in the range of Upani?adic interpreters, will be examined and often refuted.

The archeological park of Siracusa, Sicily is in one of the five ancient districts of Siracusa known as the Neapolis - "the new city." Its two major ancient monuments are a massive ancient Greek theater from the 5th century BCE carved directly into the limestone rock of the Temenite hill and an equally impressive ancient Roman amphitheater which had a seating capacity of some 20,000 spectators. But the park's most famous site is the so-called "Ear of Dionysius" which was named by the celebrated painter Caravaggio and has extraordinary acoustic properties.

Lola Jaquotot, gestora de renta variable en Finaccess Value, hace en nuestro programa un enfoque sectorial, estrategia de inversión y analiza cómo funciona el ahorro en nuestro país. ¿Hay que mover el ahorro para que la inflación no se lo coma? “España es un país con fuerte inversión en ahorro y en depósitos”, afirma la entrevistada. Dice también que “esto está muy encaminado por la política de los bancos”. Sobre cuál es la única manera de protegerse contra la inflación, a largo plazo, “el activo que mejor protege contra este fenómeno sigue siendo la renta variable”. La compañía, dentro de la renta variable europea, tiene un vehículo que se llama Finaccess compromiso social Europa. ¿Dónde están las oportunidades dentro de la renta variable europea? ¿Qué ofrece el continente europeo frente a otras regiones del mundo? “Aquí el mercado está centrándose principalmente en dos focos: el petróleo, que nos ha dado cierta presión alcista y la rentabilidad de la deuda americana”, nos explica la gestora de renta variable en Finaccess Value. Sobre estas oportunidades, apunta que “en Europa hay un crecimiento más bajo por la mayor dependencia energética que hay el BCE tiene más herramientas para hacer frente a la inflación”. Finaccess Value es una agencia de valores en España. Ofrecemos gestión de carteras, fondos de inversión y asesoramiento financiero personalizado. Su objetivo es ayudar a sus clientes a conseguir sus objetivos con la gestión de su patrimonio, adaptándose a sus necesidades y aportando la experiencia internacional del Grupo Finaccess en la preservación del patrimonio y el control del riesgo.

On December 7, 43 BCE, a sixty-three-year-old man was carried in a litter down a woodland path near the Italian coast, fleeing soldiers who had been sent to kill him. When they caught up, he ordered his attendants to set down the litter, put his head out, and offered them his neck. They cut it off, along with the hand that had written the fourteen speeches attacking Mark Antony. The head and hand were nailed to the rostra in the Roman Forum, the speaker's platform from which that same voice had held Rome in thrall for nearly four decades. Antony's wife Fulvia took the severed head in her lap, forced open the mouth, and pierced the tongue with her hairpins. The tongue was the weapon that had wounded her husband most. Today's guest is Catharine Edwards, author of Cicero's Tongue: The Life of Rome's Greatest Orator and the End of the Republic. We discuss how a small-town outsider from Arpinum conquered Roman politics with nothing but his voice and was mocked as an upstart for the rest of his life, why the bloodbath of the Marius-Sulla civil wars traumatized a teenage Cicero so deeply that he spent the next forty years trying to prevent it from happening again, and how the trial of the corrupt governor Verres made Cicero the most famous advocate in Rome while revealing the scale of imperial plunder he never fundamentally challenged. We look at why the Catiline conspiracy made him "father of the fatherland" but also planted the seed of his exile, how his fourteen Philippics against Antony were delivered by a man whose lung capacity was failing and who knew the speeches would probably get him killed, and why his fatal miscalculation was betting everything on a nineteen-year-old named Octavian he thought he could control. Edwards argues that Cicero's tragedy is inseparable from the Republic's: a man who believed passionately that persuasion could solve any crisis, confronted by opponents who had discovered that violence was faster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Juan Ignacio Marrón, analista independiente y fundador de Inversores institucionales cree que el mercado se encuentra en un "proceso correctivo normal (...) y que no se ha roto nada". En la foto de largo, dice que la situación del IBEX o el DAX es muy buena y mucho mejor que la del S&P 500 y el Nasdaq. Advierte eso sí que las tensiones geopolíticas son complicadas, el petróleo está disparado y asistimos a las subidas de tipos de interés del BCE, y a la espera de la Fed y el Banco de Japón. Un "cocktail un tanto negativo", dice, que puede impactar en el sentimiento de los inversores. Europa vs Wall Street En cuanto a la situación de los índices, Marrón subraya cómo “el S&P 500 está ya desde hace tiempo, desde la segunda semana de agosto, en un lateral que se ha convertido en tendencia bajista”. Es por eso por lo que dice que hay que tener “paciencia”. Al hablar del ibex, sin embargo, apunta que “los índices europeos van todos de la mano”. Subraya cómo llevaba tiempo advirtiendo que se estaban rompiendo algunas directrices importantes y “se ha confirmado ruptura y pérdidas de tendencias alcistas como la alcista de Ibex y Dax. Valores: Iberdrola, Autozone.. En el consultorio de Bolsa de Capital Intereconomía, Juan Ignacio Marrón, ha señalado que es un momento más delicado del mercado, al analizar los gráficos de los valores que los inversores han puesto sobre la mesa. Entre los valores que ha comentado estaban Iberdrola, Mapfre o Autozone. Sobre la de Ignacio Sánchez Galán decía es “alcista de largo plazo” y si el inversor tiene intención de mantener a largo, yo lo haría.

Juan Luis García Alejo, de Andbank, espera que no sólo la FED suba tipos a partir de mañana sino que también espera varias subidas de aquí a final de año por parte del BCE, el Banco de Inglaterra y el de Japón.

Tausret, Siptah, Bay, and the case of Paneb. By 1210 BCE, the southern rebellion was dying down, but trouble was far from over. The courtier Bay appears on the scene, first as an agent of Sety II, then as a "kingmaker" in his own right. Tausret increases her power, becoming a regent figure (like Hatshepsut). The young ruler Siptah, physically enfeebled and of uncertain heritage, provides a veil of legitimacy for a new triumvirate. Meanwhile, in Deir el-Medina, the foremen/chiefs Hay and Paneb deal with serious allegations...

1842Bronze Age Clay Tablets Uncover DiplomacyEric H. Cline, author of Love, War, and Diplomacy: The Discovery of the Amarna Letters and the Bronze Age World They Revealed, Part One: Discovered in 1886 at Amarna, Egypt, the Amarna letters consist of roughly 380 clay tablets written in Akkadian cuneiform from the 14th century BCE. British Egyptologists Archibald Henry Sayce and E. A. Wallis Budge compete to acquire these artifacts for the British Museum. German scholar Hugo Winckler and the "Young Berliners" lead the scientific breakthrough in translating and categorizing the archives. The correspondence reveals complex diplomatic exchanges between Pharaohs Amenhotep III and Akhenaten and rival great powers in Babylon, Assyria, and the Hittite Empire. Significantly, the archives contain the earliest non-biblical references to CanaaniteJerusalem under King Abdi-Heba. (1)

Ancient Proxy Wars Precede Bronze CollapseEric H. Cline, Part Two: The Amarna archive exposes intense proxy warfare between Egypt and the Hittite Empireacross Canaanite city-states. King Rib-Hadda of Byblos writes over 60 desperate letters pleading for Egyptian archers against Hittite-backed rulers Abdi-Ashirta and Aziru of Amurru. Concurrently, Abdi-Heba of Jerusalem reports constant siege and regional conflict to the Pharaoh. Social network analysis highlights the critical role of royal messengers in maintaining international connections. Ultimately, this interconnected Late Bronze Age globalized network collapses around 1177 BCE due to mega-droughts, famines, earthquakes, and invasions by the mysterious Sea Peoples, initiating a 400-year Dark Age.

È in corso dal 7 settembre e si concluderà domani, 11 settembre, la missione imprenditoriale che farà tappa a Buenos Aires, San Paolo e Brasilia, portando oltre 90 imprese italiane nei due principali mercati del Mercosur (che include Argentina, Brasile, Uruguay e Paraguay). Guidata dal presidente Emanuele Orsini e organizzata insieme a ICE Agenzia, in stretto coordinamento con le Ambasciate d’Italia a Buenos Aires e Brasilia e in collaborazione con la Camera di Commercio Italiana nella Repubblica Argentina e la Câmara de Comércio Italiana de São Paulo – Italcam, la missione ha fatto tappa a Buenos Aires il 7 e 8 settembre, è proseguita a San Paolo il 9 e 10 settembre e si concluderà domani a Brasilia. Ad accompagnare le oltre 90 imprese anche un’ampia rappresentanza dei vertici di Confindustria e del Sistema Paese, con la partecipazione dei ministri Antonio Tajani e Giuseppe Valditara. Ne parliamo con Barbara Cimmino, vicepresidente di Confindustria per l'export e l'attrazione degli investimenti.Cdm alle 17, verso proroga taglio acciseIl Consiglio dei ministri, convocato alle 17 a Palazzo Chigi, ha intenzione di varare la nuova proroga del taglio delle accise sul gasolio. La misura sarà contenuta nel decreto legge all'ordine del giorno, con "disposizioni urgenti in materia di prezzi petroliferi connessi al protrarsi della nuova crisi dei mercati internazionali e di infrastrutture e attività energetiche strategiche". La nuova proroga del taglio sulle accise sui carburanti - quello in vigore fino a oggi è di 17 centesimi al litro solo sul diesel - durerà fino al 17 settembre. Facciamo il punto con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.La Bce alza il costo del denaro di 25 punti base, tasso su depositi sale al 2,50%. Lagarde: «Rischi rialzo per inflazione e ribasso per crescita»Il Consiglio direttivo Bce ha deciso oggi di alzare, come atteso, i tassi di interesse di 25 punti base e ha avvertito che «il conflitto in Medio Oriente continua a generare pressioni sull’inflazione, che dovrebbe mantenersi su livelli ben al di sopra dell’obiettivo per un periodo prolungato». «La decisione odierna - si sottolinea nel comunicato di fine vertice - sottolinea l’impegno del Consiglio direttivo di definire la politica monetaria in modo da assicurare che l’inflazione si stabilizzi sull’obiettivo del 2% a medio termine». «Le prospettive restano molto incerte, con rischi orientati al rialzo per l’inflazione e al ribasso per la crescita economica. Riguardo allo shock energetico, i nuovi scenari formulati dai nostri esperti illustrano l’ampia gamma di esiti per l’evoluzione della crescita e dell’inflazione in base a diverse ipotesi sull’intensità e sulla durata dello shock, nonché sugli effetti indiretti e di secondo impatto. Con la decisione odierna il Consiglio direttivo resta in una posizione favorevole per affrontare l’incertezza causata dal conflitto».

Ortygia is a small island forming the historical center of the Sicilian city of Siracusa. While already inhabited by native Sicels in ancient times, Siracusa became an ancient superpower after Greek colonists settled there in the 8th century BCE and became part of Magna Graecia. In fact, Ortygia contains many of the city's oldest landmarks, including the Greek Temple of Apollo, the Fountain of Arethusa, and the Temple of Athena, which is today the Cathedral of Siracusa. It was later home to the legendary mathematician and inventor, Archimedes.

EutifrónPlato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)Translated by Patricio de Azcárate Corral (1800 - 1886)La naturaleza de la santidad, o usando el lenguaje de Platón, lo santo, ocupa el fondo del diálogo; y un supuesto encuentro del adivino Eutifrón con Sócrates es lo que da origen a la cuestión. Eutifrón pretende realizar un acto santo, reclamado por la justicia, pidiendo, con ocasión de la muerte de un esclavo, una condena contra su padre. Sócrates representa en este caso la conciencia moral y la razón. (Patricio de Azcárate) Grabación realizada en colaboración: Tux, Epachuko y KevinS.

Between 1215 and 1211 BCE, Egypt was divided. A rebellion in the south, launched by Amen-messe "Born of Amun" disrupted the succession of Sety II, son of Merneptah. Records from this shadowy period hint at violence and corruption in Waset/Luxor, as the usurper took control and established a new regime. The impact of this conflict would have long-lasting ramifications for the 19th Dynasty... Music: Luke Chaos. Logo: An unnamed statue head from Karnak, probably depicting Sety II or Amenmesse (Metropolitan Museum of Art, public domain). Was Amenmesse the Viceroy Messuy? Below are scenes from Amada in Nubia, where Messuy carved scenes of himself before royal cartouches. Prof. Aidan Dodson suggests that the Viceroy has cobra/uraei on his forehead, though other scholars suggest this is mere weathering. What do you think?

Hellenistic astrology emerged in Egypt in the 2nd century BCE, representing a profound synthesis of the older Mesopotamian and Egyptian astrological traditions. While it is sometimes assumed that this was the result of a gradual or haphazard blending of cultures, recent historical and archaeological research points to a much more deliberate and brilliant invention. In this episode, I share the results of my latest research into the origins of Hellenistic astrology, arguing that this system was created by a group of astrologers connected to the Egyptian temples, representing the earliest iteration of the Hermetic technical and philosophical tradition. To understand how this happened, I trace the history leading up to the massive cultural melting pot of the Hellenistic era. Out of this Greco-Egyptian synthesis emerged four foundational astrological texts written in the 2nd century BCE under the pseudonyms of Hermes Trismegistus, Asclepius, Nechepso, and Petosiris. One of the central arguments of this presentation is that these manuals are not just the bedrock of the astrological tradition, but they also represent the earliest known iterations of Hermetic philosophy. By examining surviving fragments, such as the mystical vision of Nechepso, I demonstrate how some of the metaphysical tropes of later Hermeticism were already deeply embedded in these technical texts centuries before the Corpus Hermeticum was compiled. In the second half of the episode, I deconstruct the conceptual architecture of Hellenistic astrology. We explore how the founders took ancient concepts like the Mesopotamian Exaltations and seamlessly integrated them with new, interlocking diagrams: the Thema Mundi, the Seven-Zoned Sphere, and the Planetary Joys scheme. I also highlight a breathtaking recent breakthrough showing how the Planetary Joys are structurally projected directly from the Exaltations, proving that these diagrams were engineered together as a unified whole. This episode represents the culmination of a decade of new research and reflection since the publication of my book, Hellenistic Astrology, in 2017. By unpacking these interlocking mechanics, we can see exactly how the founders encoded their deepest philosophical and religious beliefs directly into the mathematics of the cosmos, building the exact framework the astrologers still use today to study fate and make predictions about the future.

What is Rome to do when they gaze out from the top of the Capitol and all they can see are the neighbours they don't like or the neighbours that don't like them? When the people of Nepete and Sutrium come down from the north to ask Rome for help, Rome jumps at the opportunity to be useful. After all, who doesn't enjoy upsetting the Etruscans?The Camillus show continues in c. 386 and 385 BCE! But the Romans seem to be facing tensions not just from their enemies, but even from those who they used to count on as allies…Journey to the NorthThere's nothing for it by for the Romans to send aid north. And who should be tasked with leadership for this support but Camillus. He's not happy to go alone, however, and he's joined by fellow military tribune with consular power, Valerius Poplicola.
