Podcast appearances and mentions of numa pompilius

L'étymologie du mot "septembre" pose une question intrigante : pourquoi un nom qui signifie "septième mois" désigne-t-il en réalité le neuvième mois de l'année dans notre calendrier actuel ? La réponse se trouve dans l'histoire des calendriers romains et leurs multiples réformes.Un héritage du calendrier romainÀ l'origine, les Romains utilisaient un calendrier lunaire de 10 mois, attribué, selon la tradition, au roi légendaire Romulus vers 753 av. J.-C. Ce calendrier débutait en mars (Martius), en lien avec le retour du printemps et le début de la saison militaire. Ce système avait cependant un problème majeur : il manquait environ 60 jours pour correspondre à une année solaire complète. L'hiver n'était pas pris en compte dans le calendrier, ce qui entraînait un décalage progressif des saisons.L'ajout de janvier et févrierVers 713 av. J.-C., le roi Numa Pompilius décide de réformer le calendrier en ajoutant deux nouveaux mois d'hiver :Januarius (janvier), dédié au dieu Janus, Februarius (février), en lien avec les fêtes de purification (februa). Le calendrier passe alors de 10 à 12 mois, mais les noms des mois de septembre à décembre ne sont pas modifiés, bien qu'ils aient été décalés.L'impact de Jules César et du calendrier julienEn 46 av. J.-C., Jules César réforme le calendrier pour l'aligner sur le cycle solaire et institue le calendrier julien. Il conserve les noms traditionnels des mois, malgré leur nouvelle position. Plus tard, en l'honneur de Jules César et d'Auguste, Quintilis devient Julius (juillet) et Sextilis devient Augustus (août), mais septembre reste inchangé.ConclusionLe nom "septembre" est donc un vestige du calendrier romain primitif. Il a conservé son étymologie d'"ancien septième mois", bien qu'il soit devenu le neuvième après l'ajout de janvier et février. Une preuve fascinante de l'évolution du temps et des traditions héritées de l'Antiquité ! Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

When Romulus dies, the city of Rome is riven by ethnic conflict between Romans and Sabines, and class conflict between senators and plebeians. The city cannot agree on its next king; an interregnum ensues. The stalemate is eventually resolved in favor of Numa Pompilius, who is crowned king of Rome in a mysterious, mystical ceremony which almost seems like a human sacrifice.

Både bland läkare och i olika gravidgrupper är frågan om födsel genom kejsarsnitt en vattendelare. Frilansskribenten och läkarstudenten Vincent Flink Amble-Naess undrar varför det har blivit så. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.På 700-talet f Kr lät den romerske kejsaren Numa Pompilius stifta en mycket egendomlig lag. Gravida kvinnor som avled innan nedkomsten skulle få sina foster skurna ur moderlivet. Lagens syfte har fallit i glömska. Tidens läkekonst var långt ifrån tillräcklig för att rädda de ofödda barnen, och någon annan rent medicinsk anledning är svår att föreställa sig. Kanske var det dödgrävarna som döpte ingreppet till sectio caesarea, kejsarsnittet som ett uttryck för deras drastiska humor och som en drift med den man som givit dem den tillsynes meningslösa uppgiften. Exakt hur begreppet uppstod är omöjligt att veta.  Millenier senare regleras kejsarsnittet av andra lagar än dem Pompilius lät stifta. På sätt och vis har ingreppet förvandlats till sin motsats. Istället för vid livets slut, utförs det nu vid dess början:Den gravida kvinnan lägger sig på sidan. Narkosläkaren för in en nål i hennes rygg, och bedövningsmedlet administreras genom en plastslang. Kvinnan tappar känseln i nedre delen av kroppen, men förblir vaken. Hon lägger sig på rygg. Ett skynke spänns upp i brösthöjd, så att personalen kan få arbeta ostört. Bakom duken lägger förlossningsläkaren ett snitt strax under naveln. Barnet lyfts ut med huvudet först, får navelsträngen avklippt och överlämnas till barnmorskan som torkar av det och vyssjar det till dess det tagit sitt första andetag. Sedan avlägsnas moderkakan. Såret försluts. Och barnet lyfts upp över duken så att det blir synligt för modern. Proceduren tar inte mer än en halvtimme.För många kvinnor framstår kejsarsnittet som ett bra alternativ till en konventionell förlossning. Det går snabbare, man kan välja tillfälle på förhand och man slipper förlossningssmärtorna nästan helt och hållet. Visst finns det risker med ingreppet, men detsamma gäller för vaginala förlossningar. Den ena metoden är inte objektivt säkrare än den andra.Ändå tycks många människor känna en stark aversion mot kejsarsnittet, inte bara för egen del utan även för andras. Det är inte utan att man ibland får känslan av att det rör sig om någonting annat än enbart omtanke om de gravida kvinnorna. Faktumet att ingreppet är vanligare bland andra- och tredjegångsföderskor, och lika efterfrågat i alla samhällsklasser, tycks inte hindra människor från att föreställa sig den typiska patienten som en ung och bortskämd förstföderska. Mellan skål och vägg kan saken framställas ungefär som att kvinnorna försöker undkomma sin plikt. Inte sällan tycker man sig ana en implicit föreställning om förlossningen som en form av arbete, där det nyfödda barnet är en välförtjänt belöning. De som genomgår snittet blir enligt detta synsätt en form av fripassagerare, som får belöningen men slipper arbetet.Synen på barnalstrandet som en form av arbete har urgamla anor. Dessutom gäller den inte enbart förlossningen, utan varje steg av processen. Att avla, föda och uppfostra barnen har ofta setts som den kvinnliga motsvarigheten till männens plikt att försörja sin familj. Hemmets angelägenheter är därför inte helt och hållet privata, utan ingår i ett större värdesystem. Endast genom samarbetet mellan man och kvinna kan civilisationen upprätthållas. Inför sin bröllopsnatt lär kvinnorna i det viktorianska England ha fått rådet att slappna av och tänka på imperiet.Kopplingen mellan barnafödande och arbete är tydlig redan i vår kulturs äldsta litterära urkunder. Den första gången förlossningen omnämns i skrift är i första Mosebokens tredje kapitel. För de flesta är berättelsen välbekant.På Guds befallning framträder Eva ur sin mans revben för att göra honom sällskap i paradiset. Mer eller mindre omedelbart gör hon sig skyldig till överträdelser. Hon låter sig lockas av ormen att äta av den förbjudna frukten, och som om det inte vore illa nog drar hon med sig Adam i fallet. När det skymmer över trädgården hör hon sin gud vandra i den svala kvällsvinden, eller som det heter i King James översättning: in the cool of the day.Hans hämnd blir fruktansvärd. Människorna blir bannlysta ur paradiset, och Adam tvingas arbeta i sitt anletes svett. Intill sin död ska han slita på åkrarna, som trots hans idoga ansträngningar ska bära endast törne och tistel. Det är med nöd och näppe han ska hämta sin näring ur den obarmhärtiga jorden.Men inte heller Eva kommer undan. Åt henne har skaparen något särskilt i åtanke. Hennes havandeskap ska vara mödosamma, säger han, och hennes barn ska födas under smärta.De gammaltestamentliga verserna säger något om vårt samhälles ambivalenta syn på uppoffringen som på samma gång en plikt och en bestraffning. Uppfattningen om lidandet som ett nödvändigt ont för att uppnå något mat, pengar, lycka, framgång är djupt rotad i vår kultur. Det gäller de traditionellt manliga sysslorna som att försörja sin familj, där fripassagerare alltid har betraktats med särskilt oblida ögon. Men det gäller också den kvinnliga motsvarigheten alstrandet av barn.Arbetsfördelningen var nämligen avgjord på förhand. Kvinnan skulle föda barnen och mannen skulle försörja dem. Men medan mannens uppgifter har underlättats har förlossningen trots tillgången till epiduralbedövning förblivit mer eller mindre densamma. De flesta verkar inte ens betrakta smärtorna som ett problem. De framstår som lika naturliga för oss som himlakropparnas rörelser eller timmarnas flykt. Solen ska stiga i öster, natten ska följa på dagen och kvinnan ska lida i barnsäng.Den som ifrågasätter dessa självklarheter kan inte hoppas på att övertyga någon. Man kan stapla sina teorier till skyarna, men allt man uppnår är att människor blir lite illa till mods.Föreställningen om förlossningssmärtorna som en plikt är naturligtvis bisarr, och i våra dagar skulle få personer förmodligen skriva under på den. Men kanske kommer den ändå till uttryck i en undermedveten inställning, som gör människor skeptiska till ingrepp som kejsarsnittet utan att helt och hållet kunna redogöra för varför. Kanske rör det sig, kort sagt, om en dålig magkänsla.Numa Pompilius lämnade knappt några avbildningar till eftervärlden, och de tidigaste berättelserna om honom är skrivna hundratals år efter hans död. I själva verket är det oklart om de över huvud taget har något att göra med den verkliga förlagan. Pompilius regerade under legendernas tid, långt innan de romerska kullarna tilldrog sig världens blickar. Det är därför omöjligt att avgöra vad som rörde sig i kejsarens huvud när tanken på snittet för första gången slog ut i hans medvetande. Vissa indicier pekar emellertid mot att Pompilius betraktade ingreppet med samma dåliga magkänsla som dagens människor:Ett järnmynt på Louvren är präglat med kejsarens ansikte i profil. Hans haka är inskjuten i en min av olust.Vincent Flink Amble-Naess, skribent och läkarstudent

The first three months of the year feel a little like a sandwich — thick slabs of January and March, with a thin layer of February in the middle. But it took a while to get that recipe to its current form — mainly because calendar makers kept changing how “thin” February should be. The modern calendar has its roots in ancient Rome. Its original calendar had only 10 months, beginning with March and ending with December. At the end of the year, days were added to keep in line with the seasons. Around 713 B.C., though, king Numa Pompilius added two months to the end of the year — January and February. The Romans considered even numbers unlucky, so most of the months were either 29 or 31 days long. To keep the calendar in line with the length of 12 lunar months, though, one month had to have an even number of days. And since February came at a time of year associated with the dead, it got the nod — 28 days. It wasn't that long every year, though. Some years it was as short as 23 or 24 days, with extra days added after that to keep in line with the seasons. The calendar was adjusted many times over the following centuries. Finally, Julius Caesar standardized the calendar at its current form. February was set at 28 days, with a leap day every fourth year. The leap-day rule was tweaked in the 16th century, giving us the present-day calendar — with a thin slice of February as the second month of the year.  Script by Damond Benningfield  Today's program was made possible by Dr. Cameron Mitchell, professor emeritus, supporting research and outreach at McDonald Observatory.   Support McDonald Observatory

Why do so many cultures celebrate the New Year on Jan. 1? Do you know the year change was not always celebrated on the first day of the Gregorian calendar? Historians estimate civilizations around the world have been commemorating the New Year for about 4,000 years. Humans developed increasingly sophisticated calendars, typically pinning the first day of the year to an agricultural or astronomical event. The Babylonians, for example, heralded the start of a new year on the day in late March with an equal amount of sunlight and darkness, the equinox. Ancient Greeks began their new year with the new moon after June 21, and in many European countries during the Middle Ages the new year began on March 25, the day of the Feast of the Annunciation. Much of the current day Western way of counting years has to do with the Roman empire’s customs. Originally, the Roman calendar had only 10 months and the first was named March, after Mars, the god of war. It is Numa Pompilius (715–673 B.C.) who added Februarius and Januarius, named after Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings. Julius Caesar introduced the new Julian calendar in 46 B.C. instituting Jan. 1 as the first day of the year for the first time. Still, many cultures continue to celebrate the New Year on different days. Are you familiar with these? The Russian Orthodox Church observes the New Year according to its Julian calendar, which places the day on Jan. 14. In Thailand, Songkran, the Buddhists’ celebration of the new year is a special three-day water festival in the middle of April that features parades with huge statues of Buddha. People tie strings around each other’s wrists to show their respect. A person can have dozens of strings on one wrist, each from a different person. The strings are supposed to be left on until they fall off naturally. In Vietnam, the new year celebrations, called Tet Nguyen Dan, usually begin in February. In China, the current year of the Ox will run until Jan. 31, 2022. Next year with be a year of the Tiger. Each of the 12 years in the Chinese lunar calendar is named after an animal. According to legend, before Lord Buddha left earth 12 animals came to wish him farewell, and as a reward a year was named after each. Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning “head of the year,” is the Jewish New Year and will be celebrated on Sunday, Sept. 25. It is marked by the blowing of the shofar and begins ten days of penitence culminating in Yom Kippur. The Sikh New Year, Baisakhi, will come on April 14 and is one of the most popular harvest festivals in India. As of Aug. 10, 2021, the current Islamic year is 1443 AH and will run to July 28, 2022. The first year of the Islamic calendar began in 622 when the Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina. This migration is called the “Hijrah.” The Pacific island of Tonga will be the first to ring in the New Year and celebrate at 10 a.m. GMT on December 31, making the tiny island nation the first to head into 2022.

Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian, né à Sauve le 6 mars 1755 et mort à Sceaux le 13 septembre 1794, est un auteur dramatique, romancier, poète et fabuliste français.ssu d'une famille noble et vouée à la carrière des armes, il naît à Sauve dans le Gard, et passe sa prime jeunesse au château de Florian, sur la commune de Logrian, près de Sauve, au pied des Basses-Cévennes. Sa mère, d'origine espagnole meurt lorsqu'il est enfant et il est élevé au château de Florian. Son oncle ayant épousé la nièce de Voltaire, c'est à dix ans, en juillet 1765 lors d'un séjour à Ferney, qu'il est présenté au célèbre écrivain, son grand-oncle par alliance, qui le surnomme Florianet et parle de lui dans sa correspondance comme étant son « neveu par ricochets ». Il s'installe ensuite chez ses oncle et tante qui prennent en charge son éducation dans le quartier du Marais, à Paris. En 1768, il devient page au service du duc de Penthièvrepuis entre quelques années plus tard à l'école royale d'artillerie de Bapaume. À sa sortie, il sert quelque temps comme officier dans le régiment des dragons de Penthièvre. La vie de garnison ne lui convenant pas, il sollicite et obtient une réforme qui lui conserve son gradedans l'armée mais lui permet de suivre le duc de Penthièvre à Anet et Paris (un petit appartement lui était réservé à l'hôtel de Toulouse) et de s'adonner entièrement à la poésie. Le duc de Penthièvre, qui lui avait donné à sa cour le titre de gentilhomme ordinaire, resta sa vie durant son ami et son protecteur. En 1779, une première comédie écrite sur le mode des comédies italiennes (Les Deux Billets), lui vaut le succès. L'année suivante il fait jouer Jeannot et Colin, pièce inspirée du conte de Voltaire. Le poème satirique, Voltaire et le serf du Mont-Jura (1782), lui vaut la reconnaissance de l'académie qui lui attribue un prix. Florian condamne dans cette œuvre le servage et préconise son abolition. La même année, il revient au théâtre et obtient un véritable triomphe avec Les Jumeaux de BergameN 4. En 1783, Florian publie un conte en vers inspiré d'une nouvelle de Miguel de Cervantes, Galatée. L'œuvre est précédée d'une préface qui retrace la vie de Cervantes. Il s'inspire de la Bible pour écrire un poème narratif, Tobie, et une églogue, Ruth, récompensée par l'Académie française en 1784. Avec le succès vient l'ambition : Florian se lance dans un roman épique (Numa Pompilius) qui soit digne de concurrencer le Télémaque de Fénelon. Ce sera un échec. Il fait partie, dès 1786, du cercle choisi par madame la comtesse Adélaïde Lalive de La Briche, qui le reçoit en septembre dans son château du Marais près d'Arpajon. Elle l'a connu avant 1785 chez monsieur Charles-Pierre-Paul Savalette de Lange, (beau-frère du président d'Hornoy) ou chez madame d'Houdetot. On a dit Florian amoureux de madame de La Briche avec laquelle il poursuivra une correspondance de 1786 à 17931 Il est élu membre de l'Académie française en 1788. Contraint, en tant que noble, de quitter Paris lors de la Révolution française, il se réfugie à Sceaux. Il entreprend de traduire et d'adapter Don Quichotte de Cervantes. Après la mort du duc de Penthièvre et l'apposition des scellés sur l'hôtel de Toulouse où il logeait, il se trouva dans l'obligation de louer un petit appartement au 13, rue des Bons-Enfants à Paris 2. Malgré l'appui de son ami François-Antoine de Boissy d'Anglas, il est arrêté et incarcéré à la prison de Port-Libre, le 27 messidor an II (15 juillet 1794), l'épître dédicatoire de Numa Pompilius qu'il avait écrite à la reine huit ans plus tôt, le desservant devant le Comité de sûreté générale. Il écrit de sa prison, à son adresse et à l'attention du citoyen François Germain Mercier, son laquais qui occupe l'appartement pour demander des objets de première nécessité. Remis en liberté à la chute de Robespierre le 9 thermidor an II (27 juillet 1794) grâce à Boissy d'Anglas, il meurt subitement le 27 fructidor an II (13 septembre 1794), probablement des suites de sa détention qui aggrava une tuberculose contractée plusieurs années auparavant. Il est enterré à Sceaux4,N 6. Sa tombe et son buste, entourés de ceux de célèbres félibres, se trouvaient dans le jardin des Félibres depuis le déplacement de l'ancien cimetière communal en 18395. Chaque année, à la fin du printemps s'y déroulent les Fêtes félibréennes de Sceaux6. À la suite de travaux de réfection, son corps est réinhumé en 2015 en une tombe contemporaine du cimetière de Sceaux

“Lives” is a series of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans by the ancient Greek historian Plutarch who lived during the first and second century AD. The work consists of twenty-three paired biographies, one Greek and one Roman, and four unpaired, which explore the influence of character on the lives and destinies of important persons of Ancient Greece and Rome. Rather than providing strictly historical accounts, Plutarch was most concerned with capturing his subjects common moral virtues and failings. This volume includes the complete “Lives” in which you will find the biographies of the following persons: Theseus, Romulus, Lycurgus, Numa Pompilius, Solon, Poplicola, Themistocles, Camillus, Pericles, Fabius, Alcibiades, Coriolanus, Timoleon, Æmilius Paulus, Pelopidas, Marcellus, Aristides, Marcus Cato, Philopœmen, Flamininus, Pyrrhus, Caius Marius, Lysander, Sylla, Cimon, Lucullus, Nicias, Crassus, Sertorius, Eumenes, Agesilaus, Pompey, Alexander, Cæsar, Phocion, Cato the younger, Agis, Cleomenes, Tiberius Gracchus, Caius Gracchus, Demosthenes, Cicero, Demetrius, Antony, Dion, Marcus Brutus, Aratus, Artaxerxes, Galba, and Otho. Plutarch's “Lives” remains today as one of the most important historical accounts of the classical period. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

 Numa Pompilius, a man whom never wanted to be King, a man with a deep faith in the Gods topped off with a philosophy abhorrently against an aggression and anger driven society forever at war depriving Rome's citizens of more Godly and more peaceful societal improvements. If it's said, Romulus gifted the Romans with a grand military tradition and supporting institutions which would last for a millennia, then Numa as a counter to military traditions, gifted the Romans grand religious traditions and supporting religious institutions, which would last for a millennia or more also.

In this episode, we will look more closely at the reign of Rome's second king, Numa Pompilius, who was said to have established most of Rome's religious institutions and traditions almost single-handedly. We'll consider Numa's role in the more prolonged foundation narrative of Rome, and see how his work is still relevant to the world in which we live today.Follow Mare Nostrum on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarePodcast

In this episode I continue the theme of early Rome by looking at its second King. Numa Pompilius. I talk about how he came to the throne, what religious initiatives he set in place and how the sources handled their accounts of him. As ever there are some curious tangents involving dancing, possible magic, thunderstorms and stinking charms. Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental)

Het koningschap van Tullus Hostilius komt aan een merkwaardig eind. Koning Ancus Marcius wordt verkozen als vierde koning van de Romeinen en zijn heerschappij overtreft die van Romulus, Numa Pompilius en Tullus Hostilius. De Latijnen worden verslagen en de havenstad Ostia, welke de Romeinen een grote toekomst zal geven, wordt op bevel van Ancus aangelegd. De opvolger van Ancus, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus maakt zijn reis uit zijn vaderland Etrurië naar Rome en hier eenmaal hier maakt hij snel naam voor zichzelf. Hij zal uiteindelijk door zijn torenhoge ambitie ontpoppen tot de vijfde koning van Rome. Hij introduceert hiermee het koningshuis dat in de volgende aflevering de aanleiding zullen vorm tot de vorming van de Republiek Rome.

Tullus Hostilius was de derde koning van Rome. Hij regeerde tussen 673 en 642 v. Chr. en zo vredig als zijn voorganger Numa Pompilius was, zo oorlogsgezind was Tullus Hostilius. De deuren van de tempel van Janus werden vrijwel direct geopend en in deze staat zullen ze blijven ze verkeren. De Romeinen komen in oorlog met Alba Longa, Fidenae én Veii en in een van deze oorlogen speelt een van de bekendste duels zich af, die tussen de Horatii en de Curiatii.

Tijdens deze aflevering volgen we het koningschap van de tweede koning van Rome; Numa Pompilius. Als tegenpool van Romulus bracht Numa Pompilius een periode van vrede voor de Romeinen. Het oorlogszuchtige karakter werd 38 jaren lang aan de kant gezet voor een pacifistisch beleid waarin Rome werd verrijkt met religieuze rituelen en een groot aantal tempels. Numa bracht de Romeinen de ‘goede vorm’ van religie. Hier vind je de link naar de website van deze aflevering.Hier vind je de link naar de facebookpagina.

Partial Transcription http://www.thetaleofrome.com/rome-007 Hello, this is Abel, in Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast. The Tale of Rome, Episode 7 — Ancus Marcius Founds Ostia. Last week we saw the life and death of Tullus Hostilius, the third king of Rome, and we also saw how Rome itself became a synonym of war. In fact, Rome—again, became all the things nobody wanted to have in a neighbor. This week’s episode deals with the fourth king of Rome, a man named Ancus Marcius. Ancus Marcius was a man with many different and sometimes contrasting aspects. For one, he was the son of Numa Marcius, who in turn was elected by Numa Pompilius to become Rome’s very first Pontifex Maximus, which we talked about in Episode five. […] We also cannot reliably assess all these events, and their dates. Anecdotes, above all, are to be read as a tale, and rather than taking them as pure facts, they serve the purpose of answering questions of the origins of Rome to the romans that lived centuries later, as well as trying to teach morals. As a perfect example of these quite incredible mess-ups with dates, we have that Numa Pompilius, the now well-known second king of Rome, was born on April 21st of the year 753 BC, which just so happens to be the day Rome was founded. Come on! Don’t make me laugh! The other thing that we can kind of be sure of, is that one of the major jobs Ancus Marcius had to do, was to transcribe all those documents left by Numa Pompilius, about the religious ceremonies of Rome, since the third king of Rome, Tullus Hostilius ignored that job completely.

Hello, this is Abel, in Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast. The Tale of Rome, Episode 5 — Numa, the God Whisperer. Last week we talked about the end of Romulus, the first king of Rome. And then I went on a rant about, first—the seven kings of Rome, and then—how people like to get their history bits served in… well, bits. Finally, we got to the part where Rome was—for the first time ever, needing a successor to the throne. This successor, the second king of Rome, could not have been more different from the first one. He used to talk to the gods, and his name was Numa Pompilius. [...] Numa knew that the future of Rome would be filled with wars, as soon as he would be gone, and he knew that if a king would also be a Pontifex Maximus, religious services all over Rome would suffer, because such king would obviously give priority to war over all other things. So, Numa solved this by simply setting in stone that kings or any future type of supreme rulers of Rome could not be elected to the office of Pontifex Maximus, while they reigned with the city. He simply explained that the gods would punish Rome with plagues, floods, earthquakes, and all other kinds of disasters, if ever a king was elected to that office, and if ever the services to the gods were not properly done. And in fact, the office of the Pontifex Maximus was left in peace by rulers for centuries. It wasn't until the first emperor of Rome, Augustus dared to take the office of chief priest of Rome in his own hands, that Numa's rule was being respected. And that should speak volumes. Furthermore, the office itself still exists today. That's right, the institution created by Numa Pompilius is currently being exercised by the Vatican's Pope, as the head of the Catholic Church, and that's a tradition that's been unbroken for some 2,600 years, now. [...]

Numa Pompilius is to laws as Romulus and Remus are to violence ... Following in the wake of the violent founding of Rome, a king is chosen for his steady character, disinterest in being a leader, and Sabine heritage. Numa Pompilius, the second monarch recognised from the founding, famously secured the favour of the divine Egeria to guide the City.

L'oeuvre de N. Poussin (1594-1665) : description formelle, sujet, sens de la composition, contextes, dans l’histoire des arts.

Nicole Garnier, conservatrice du Musée Condé de Chantilly, commente l’une des premières oeuvres romaines de Poussin (1594-1665), peinte dans les années 1630 au sein d’un milieu d’amateurs d arts et de mécènes humanistes, et en présente les données pour mieux l’apprécier (la légende de la Rome antique, le moment de la vie de Poussin quand il la peint…).

Goddess Advocate, Michael York, will discuss his presentation at the Parliament of World Religions called Men Who Love the Goddess which includes insights such as Goddess: Monotheism or Polytheism?
