It was the morning of July 18,64 AD,as the indolent mayor Nero looked over the burning city of Torbay and walked off with a devious smile.The mayor walked through his serene palace until his messenger came rushing through his palace gates yelling ”There is a fire spreading throughout Torbay and it started in the shops near the Circus Maximus.” “What” Nero yelled with a factitious look of concern on his face. ” I’ll send my friend ,Aelius, to find out who set the city on fire, he is a clever man who can solve any mystery.” Nero sent Aelius on purpose because he was a diminutive man and Nero judged him to be a clumsy and not bright enough to solve the mystery. Aelius was filled with pride when he found out Nero appointed him as the investigator. Nero sent Aelius off with false information that the fire started in the outskirts of Torbay. Aelius started his journey on investigating right away to figure out how the fire started.When Aelius discovers that the fire has not yet reached the outskirts of the city he made a decision to do a thorough inspection within the city. Aelius concentrated more on the areas with more shops and people. …show more content…

This clue leads Aelius to the shops near the Circus Maximus where the fire may have started. He interrogates some residents and bystanders of the area to see what they know. Aelius soon comes across a man who was shivering in fright when he was questioned.

"The Deeds of the Divine Augustus" was written in AD 14 by the ancient Roman Emperor Augustus. It was an autobiographical piece of literary work that lists the various deeds that Augustus performed throughout his reign as Emperor, but it was merely written so that the people of Rome would remember Augustus as a great leader who went out of his way in order to create a better society for Rome. Within the text Augustus utilizes the first person singular in which "I" mostly occurs at the beginning of every paragraph. He is making a clear analysis of his own accomplishments ranging from, raising an army, waged war, spared citizens, and first rejected an oppurtunity at dictatorship (paragraphs 1,3,5). Although it may seem that Augustus

Consequently, Aeneas then knows he can overpower spectators who involve themselves in this one-on-one activity, preventing Turnus from receiving aid from any of his fellow Latins. Though it may appear as a way to swerve around fate at first glance, failing to construe these omens and acting on deluded perceptions does make Turnus a victim of stoicism because he is just furthering himself toward the

His dad, Gaius Octavius, was the first in the family to wind up plainly a representative, yet kicked the bucket when Octavian was just four. It was his mom who had the more recognized association.

Rome had seen many leaders step up to the plate in order to rule over Rome with absolute power. There were many who only wanted to exercise their power over the people, those who only wanted the army’s strength, and those who only wanted to advance the senate and laws than help the people or watch the army. However, there were a few emperors who were able to rise above these issues and bring about a seemingly peaceful time in Rome. I have chosen the three, in my opinion, best emperors of Rome, who were able to take command of Rome and make a huge impact. The three emperors that I chose were Trajan, Hadrian, and last but not least Augustus.

The book of Aeneid is writing by Virgil who tells a story about a legendary Trojan who traveled to Italy who became an ancestors of the Romans. The age of Augustus is also about a leader that ruled in the Roman emperor. Augustus told Virgil to write a story about a hero and Virgil did as he was told. I believe that the scholars were right about how the Age of Augustus was important to know and to understand it because that was a huge part in the making of The Aeneid. If it wasn’t for Augustus and Virgil then there wouldn’t be the story of Aeneid.

Aeneas is the ideal image of a roman in my eyes. Throughout books I-IV he has earned the title "father Aeneas" and this shows that he has some values. There are four roman values which are Gravitas, Constantia, Magnitudo Animi, and Pietas. From my views, he displays gravitas, Constantia, and pietas, these are the three out of the four that I feel Aeneas showed the most. We all live our lives based on some type of human values and these roman values are the closest to right way of living.

Lee, 25. Lee discusses the Dido episode as a whole, rather than a specific section. He argues a passionate Aeneas would be a “less than worthy founder” and the founding of Rome “would be less a design of the gods and more the … trick of some occult force”. I argue the importance of Aeneas’s disconnection from emotion places more emphasis on the gods and his devotion to the gods. Lee and I agree with the idea that Aeneas’s devotion to his mission and the gods make him more heroic and more worthy of his name.
