#LONDINIUM90AD: GAIUS & GERMANUC REMARK HOW TRAJAN CONFRONTS DCIA AND ITS CATIAL, SARMIZEGETUSA REGIA. MICHAEL VLAHOS. FRIENDS OF HISTORY DEBATING SOCIETY. @MICHALIS_VLAHOS 1932 GATES OF BABYLON

Eudocia was from Heliopolis of Phoenicia (now Baalbek in Lebanon). A surpassingly beautiful pagan, she led a licentious life and became wealthy from the gifts of her many lovers. One day an elderly monk, Germanus, came to Heliopolis and stayed with a Christian whose house adjoined Eudocia's. At night, he began to read aloud from the Psalter and a book on the Last Judgment. From next-door, Eudocia heard him. Her heart was reached, and she stood attentively all night, listening to every word in fear and contrition. The next day she begged Germanus to visit her, and he explained the saving Christian faith to her. Finally, Eudocia asked the local bishop to baptise her. She freed her servants, gave all her wealth to the poor, and entered a monastery.   "Her former lovers, enraged at her conversion, her refusal to return to her old ways, and the withering away of her beauty through the severe mortifications she practiced, betrayed her as a Christian to Vincent the Governor, and she was beheaded"(Great Horologion). According to some,this was under Trajan (98-117); according to others, under Hadrian (117-138).   The Prologue gives a somewhat different account: that after entering the monastery, Eudocia was permitted to pursue the monastic life in peace — with such devotion that, thirteen months after she entered the monastery, she was chosen as abbess. She lived for fifty-six years in the monastery, and was granted the gift of raising the dead. In her old age, a persecution of Christians arose, and Eudocia was beheaded along with many others. "Here is a wonderful example of how a vessel of uncleanness can be purified, sanctified and filled with a precious, heavenly fragrance by the grace of the Holy Spirit" (Prologue).

The Roman Empire has one of the most enduring legacies of any civilization due to its ability to adapt to shifting circumstances. The emperor Trajan was famous for his aggressive expansion, extending Roman borders to their greatest extent. His successor Hadrian is famous for his wise decision to recognize the limits of Roman power and fortify the boundaries of the empire to a reasonable extent which the state could maintain. As Donald Trump explores both isolationist and expansionist options Alex Petkas, host of the "Cost of Glory" podcast, joins me to discuss what America can learn from these two great leaders.

In the latest episode of the Ancient Warfare Magazine podcast, Marc De Santis speaks with Murray Dahm about his new book, Roman Soldier vs Dacian Warrior: Dacian Wars AD 85–106. The wars between Rome and Dacia were some of the most intense and strategically important conflicts of the early 2nd century AD. Fought during the reign of Emperor Domitian and later under Trajan, these battles saw the disciplined Roman legions face off against the determined warriors of Dacia. The struggle ended with Rome's annexation of Dacia, a victory commemorated on Trajan's Column in Rome. Murray's new book, published by Osprey, examines the tactics, weaponry, and battlefield experiences of both Roman soldiers and their Dacian opponents. In this episode, he discusses the challenges faced by both sides, the effectiveness of Dacian weapons—such as the falx—and how Rome adapted its military approach to counter the threat. Listen to the episode to learn more about one of Rome's toughest adversaries and the warfare that shaped the empire's northern frontier.   Join us on Patron patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast

Are the Pistons for real?

This question came via a comment on an earlier podcast. 'Which type of armour did the legions under Caesar and Augustus use? I understand the lorica segmentata was adopted later, but was it used during Octavian's era?  Additionally, I've found references to three types of scuta (shields): the curved oval used by late Republican soldiers, a slightly curved rectangular version, and the iconic rectangular scutum seen in reliefs of Trajan and Aurelius. Could you clarify which types of shields were used during Augustus' later reign and the periods of Germanicus and Vespasian?'   Join us on Patron patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast  

Czy wiecie jaka jest historia chrześcijaństwa? Jak powstała ta religia oraz dlaczego się podzieliła? Dlaczego dzisiaj jest tak wiele religii chrześcijańskich? Ten odcinek zawiera uproszczoną wersję historii chrześcijaństwa w Europie. Musicie też pamiętać o tym, że dzisiaj w wielu krajach istnieje tolerancja religijna. To znaczy, że wyznawcy różnych religii tolerują siebie nawzajem. W przeszłości tak jednak nie było. Dochodziło czasem do okropnych rzeczy.Zacznijmy od samego początku. Kiedy zaczyna się historia chrześcijaństwa? Jezus został ochrzczony przez Jana Chrzciciela gdy miał około 30 lat. Trzy lata później został zabity. Ponieważ nasz kalendarz jest liczony od momentu kiedy Jezus miał się narodzić, tak więc dzień jego śmierci czyli rok 33 uznaje się za moment od kiedy istnieje religia chrześcijańska.Chrześcijanie byli bardzo długo prześladowani. Oznacza to, że zakazywano tej religii, palono jej księgi, np. Biblię, a samych chrześcijan zamykano do więzień oraz zabijano. Kiedy zakończyły się te prześladowania? W tamtych czasach w Europie rządzili cesarze rzymscy. To właśnie oni kazali prześladować chrześcijan. Nie wszyscy, ale wielu z nich, np. Neron, Domicjan, Hadrian, Trajan czy Dioklecjan. Te prześladowania zakończył cesarz Konstantyn Wielki w roku 313. Wprowadził on w cesarstwie tolerancję religijną. Tolerancja oznacza, że każdy może sobie wybrać jaką religię chce i nie będzie prześladowany.Dlaczego cesarz Konstantyn Wielki zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan? Tego cesarza wielu uznaje za pierwszego cesarza, który sam został chrześcijaninem. W 313 zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan. Rok wcześniej czyli w 312 odbyła się bitwa przy moście Mulwijskim. Podobno cesarz Konstantyn zobaczył wtedy na niebie krzyż i miał umieścić go na sztandarach swojego wojska.Konstantyn Wielki miał być pierwszym chrześcijańskim cesarzem. Po nim prawie wszyscy cesarze także byli chrześcijanami. Gdy jednak chrześcijan przestano prześladować zaczęli się oni dzielić na różne religie chrześcijańskie. Podział religii oznacza, że z jednej religii, z jednej organizacji religijnej powstają dwie mniejsze. Dlaczego jednak religie dzielą się? Są dwa główne powody. Po pierwsze religie dzielą się dlatego, że nie zgadzają się co do jakiejś nauki. Np. na soborze nicejskim w 325 spierano się o to czy Jezus jest Bogiem? Po tym soborze nastąpił podział na tych, którzy wierzyli w Trójcę i tych, którzy nie wierzyli w tą naukę.Drugi powód dla którego religie się dzielą to kwestia tego kto jest najważniejszy. Np. w kwietniu 1378 wybrano nowego papieża Urbana VI. Potem we wrześniu wybrano drugiego papieża Klemensa VII. Przez parę lat było dwóch papieży. Wszyscy katolicy dalej mieli tą samą wiarę, nauczali tego samego, np. nauczali o Trójcy. Jednak różne państwa uznawały różnych papieży np. Francja i Szkocja uznawały za papieża Klemensa VII, a Polska, Anglia i Niemcy Urbana VI.Te dwa przykłady pokazują, że czasami do podziału dochodzi gdy jest różnica w wierzeniach, np. czy wierzyć w Trójcę, a czasem gdy jest różnica w tym kto jest najważniejszy, np. kto jest papieżem. Jednak oba te podziały nie były trwałe. Chrześcijanie ponownie się połączyli w jedną religię. Były jednak trwałe podziały czyli takie które trwają do naszych czasów.Jaki był pierwszy trwały podział chrześcijaństwa? Cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na część zachodnią oraz wschodnią. Na zachodzie mówiono po łacinie, a na wschodzie po grecku. W tamtym okresie było pięć najważniejszych miast chrześcijańskich. Biskupi tych miast byli uznawani za najważniejszych. Były to: Jerozolima, Antiochia, Aleksandria, Konstantynopol oraz Rzym. Gdy jednak powstał Islam muzułmanie zdobyli pierwsze trzy miasta: Jerozolimę, Antiochię i Aleksandrię i to przestały być chrześcijańskie miasta. O Islamie mówiliśmy w odcinku 123.Pozostały dwa główne chrześcijańskie miasta Rzym i Konstantynopol. Doszło do kłótni, kto jest ważniejszy czy papież w Rzymie, czy patriarcha w Konstantynopolu i 1054 roku doszło do wielkiej schizmy czyli wielkiego podziału. Powstał kościół katolicki na zachodzie oraz prawosławny w Konstantynopolu. Ten podział widać do dzisiaj i to nie tylko w religii. Na zachodzie używa się innego alfabetu niż na wschodzie Europy.Polska znalazła się w części katolickiej dlatego u nas używa się alfabetu łacińskiego, a Rosja była w tej części prawosławnej dlatego oni mają inny alfabet. Tak więc zachodnia Europa miała religię katolicką oraz alfabet łaciński, a wschodnia Europa miała religię prawosławną oraz alfabet grecki.W XVI wieku doszło do kolejnego podziału w Europie zachodniej czyli podziału w kościele katolickim. Co się wydarzyło?Odpusty to były opłaty za przebaczenie grzechu. Do czego kościół katolicki potrzebował tych pieniędzy? W tym czasie papierze chcieli zbudować Bazylikę św. Piotra w Rzymie i potrzebowali na to dużo pieniędzy. Jeden z takich wysłanników sprzedających odpusty pojechał do Niemiec.Marcin Luter był mnichem, któremu nie podobało się, że sprzedaje się odpusty.Podobno do drzwi kościoła w Wittenberdze przybił spisane przez siebie 95 tez przeciwko tym odpustom. Rozpoczął on reformację czy próbę zmiany kościoła. Nie był on pierwszy, bo przed nim takimi reformatorami byli John Wycliffe w Anglii i Jan Hus w Czechach. Marcin Luter miał jednak coś czego oni nie mieli.W 1455 Gutenberg wynalazł druk. Od tej pory można było wszystko drukować. Tak więc kiedy w 1517 roku Luter przybił do drzwi kościoła te 95 tez jakiś drukarz zaraz zaczął je kopiować i sprzedawać. W ten sposób idee Lutra się rozpowszechniły bardzo szybko. Wycliffe i Hus tego nie mieli ich pisma trzeba było przepisywać.Luter zapoczątkował powstanie religii protestanckiej. Ta nazwa pochodzi od tego, że Luter zaprotestował przeciwko odpustom. Później religie protestanckie podzieliły się dalej na wiele mniejszych religii, ale często określa się je właśnie jako religie protestanckie.Co zapamiętaliście?Kiedy w cesarstwie rzymskim zakończyły się prześladowania chrześcijan?Czy pamiętacie wszystkie główne podziały w chrześcijaństwie?Dlaczego cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na dwie części?Dlaczego ten podział jest ważny dla religii chrześcijańskiej?Kto się pojawił w XV wieku?Kim był Jan Hus?Przeciwko czemu był Luter?Dzisiaj panuje tolerancja religijna, ale w przeszłości tak nie było. Dochodziło do wielu wojen z powodu religii. Np. gdy Luter stworzył religię protestancką doszło do wojny 30-letniej w Europie, podczas której kraje katolickie walczyły z krajami protestanckimi.Do podziałów religijnych dochodzi gdy dwie grupy mają różne wierzenia lub mają różnych przywódców. Np. jedni wierzą w Trójcę, a inni nie lub jedni mają jednego papieża, a inni drugiego.

Dear Friend, I'm sure your husband has coached those athletes who have the “it” factor. You can't really explain it, but they can rise above challenges and accomplish things on the field or court, on the mat or even in the weight room that go beyond normal athletic ability. As we talk about the armor of God in Ephesians 6 today, we need to remember that as Christians, we too can have that “it” factor to walk through any battle with peace, strength, confidence and wisdom. The armor of God gives us everything we need to STAND FIRM in every battle of every season in a supernatural way that goes beyond explanation. Ultimately, what we have as believers in the battle is Jesus Christ as our captain, and no one has ever had a captain like Him. I will close with a quote that I share in our episode today, and it is a great encouragement for Standing Firm in battle. So thankful for the opportunity to walk with you through the entire book of Ephesians over these past few weeks! “Trajan, the great Roman Captain, when he was on the field of battle would take his own armor off and put it on his wounded men. He would tear his own garments up and use them as bandages, but that's nothing compared to Jesus. Because Jesus Christ tore himself to deal with your wounds, and he took the spear that was meant for us into his own heart so that all of our deaths can be paid. Put on the full armor of God- because Jesus Christ made himself vulnerable for you, you can become protected in Him." -Tim Keller Love to you all,

New Pistons president Trajan Langdon.

The history of the Roman Empire shows us how even the strongest pinnacles of power and innovation can collapse. From 753 to 509 BC, Rome changed from an ancient Kingdom to a Republic. This republic lasted until 27 BC and by that time, the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, shaping global culture, law, and politics. By 117 AD, under the emperor Trajan, its influence was so absolute across the known world that anything outside of Rome was called “barbarian lands”. Architecture, law, and military innovation made Rome an empire, and at its height, its citizens would never believe that such an empire could be defeated or set to ruin. Join us as we contrast six Roman emperors, highlighting how they either helped the empire grow through innovation and scalability, or through corruption and greed, contributed to its downfall. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/15minutehistory/support

Scripture: Romans 16:1-16 Key Takeaways: + The Church was an intimate family in Jesus. 1 Timothy 5:1-2 (ESV) + The Church included and dignified women. “Amidst contemporary denunciations of Christianity as patriarchal and sexist, it is easily forgotten that the early church was especially attractive to women… Christianity was unusually appealing because within the Christian subculture women enjoyed far higher status than did the women in the Greco-Roman world at large.” – Rodney Stark Philippians 4:2–3 (ESV) “…we see an early example of women serving as deacons in the correspondence between Pliny the younger and the emperor Trajan (AD 98–117). In a fascinating conversation, Pliny asks Trajan for advice about what he should do as the legate to the province in Bithynia with Christians. We want to think about one small piece of the conversation. Pliny refers to two Christian women, who were called ministrae in Latin. In English we can translate this word as “ministers,” and that is a good translation into Latin of the Greek word diakonos, which means “servant” or “minister.” We thus have an early example—in the second decade of the second century—of women serving as deacons. Obviously, such an example doesn't prove women should serve as deacons, but it suggests women functioned as deacons in the early church.” – Thomas Schreiner + Whatever we see women doing in the Bible, we want to see them doing it in our Church. + Fully Engage in the Church

Artificial Intelligence Podcast Key Takeaways  The key to understanding Ancient Rome is to understand that it was obsessed with the pastThe Romans were hyper-competitive and cared deeply about their status amongst their peers; their public competitiveness drove themOne of the secrets to Rome's success was its ability to absorb and integrate non-Roman ideas “If we were to write a realistic textbook of the Roman Empire, nine out of ten chapters should be details of what it was like to be a small-time family farmer, because that's what 90% of the people in the ancient world did.” – Gregory AldreteRoman law is perhaps the most significant legacy the empire has left on the modern world; about 90% of the modern world uses some derivation of it The Great Contradiction: Rome's very success made almost every group within Roman society deeply unhappy and boiling with resentmentCaesar succeeded in taking over the state as one man, but he could not solve the problems of ruling Rome as one person and appearing to function as a king  Augustus is one of the most significant individuals in Roman history given he was the one who founded the Roman Empire; he led the transition from the republic to empirePublic speaking was an essential aspect of life in Rome; those who were great orators, such as Cicero, had a great advantage in seeking power and influence While Gladiators were considered low status – because they performed for others – many of them became wildly popular in Roman culture The Five Good Emperors period (96-180 CE) of Roman history is often seen as a high point in Roman history The five emperors were Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus AureliusEventually, the Roman Empire became too large to effectively govern; a state of constant civil war ensured, which created a vicious downward cycle for the overall Roman economy that left it poorer and more vulnerable to fragmentationDifferent historians attribute the fall of the Roman Empire to different things, citing the barbarians, Christianity, climate, disease, and moral decline Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGregory Aldrete is a historian specializing in ancient Rome and military history.

Before baptism he was a renowned military commander under Trajan. While hunting in the woods, he met a great stag with a shining Cross between his antlers. Through the stag, the Lord spoke to Placidas (his pagan name) and told him to find a priest and be baptized into Christ. Returning home, he found that his wife Tatiana had also had a vision in which she was told to become a Christian. They were baptized, Placidas receiving the name Eustathius, and Tatiana the name Theopiste; their two sons were baptized with them. Eustathius and his family were almost immediately subjected to a series of grievous trials, in which all were separated from one another.
