The Age of Empires - Conquest...

Nova Ashford

The Age of Empires, a period marked by conquest and colonization, spans several centuries and had a profound impact on global history. From the late 15th century through the early 20th century, European powers embarked on ambitious campaigns of territorial expansion, driven by the pursuit of wealth, resources, and political dominance. This era saw the rise and fall of vast empires, each of which left an indelible mark on the world. The motivations behind empire-building were multifaceted, rooted in the quest for economic gain, military supremacy, and the spread of cultural, religious, and political ideologies.
The Age of Empires can trace its origins to the Renaissance, a period of intellectual and cultural awakening in Europe. The revival of classical learning, coupled with advancements in navigation, shipbuilding, and cartography, laid the groundwork for the age of exploration. This era saw European nations eager to find new trade routes and territories, driven by the promise of wealth from spices, silks, and other exotic goods. The expansion of European power also coincided with a period of intense competition among European states, each vying to claim territories and secure dominance over lucrative trade routes.
In 1492, Christopher Columbus’ famous voyage to the New World marked the beginning of a new era in exploration and conquest. Columbus’ journey, sponsored by Spain, led to the discovery of the Americas, setting off a wave of Spanish, Portuguese, British, French, and Dutch exploration and colonization. Spain and Portugal were the earliest and most successful empires in this period, establishing colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The Spanish empire, in particular, amassed incredible wealth through the exploitation of native populations and the vast resources found in the Americas, including precious metals like gold and silver.

Messalina - A Story of Empire...

Honor Cargill-Martin

This is the story of Messalina – third wife of Emperor Claudius and one of the most notorious women to have inhabited the Roman world. 
 
The scandalous image of the Empress Messalina as a ruthless and sexually insatiable schemer, derived from the work of Roman historians such as Tacitus and Suetonius, has taken deep root in the Western imagination. The stories they told about her included nightly visits to a brothel and a twenty-four-hour sex competition with a prostitute. Tales like these have defined the empress's legacy, but her real story is much more complex. 
 
In her new life of Messalina, the classicist Honor Cargill-Martin reappraises one of the most slandered and underestimated female figures of ancient history. Looking beyond the salacious anecdotes, she finds a woman battling to assert her position in the overwhelmingly male world of imperial Roman politics – and succeeding. Intelligent, passionate, and ruthless when she needed to be, Messalina's story encapsulates the cut-throat political manoeuvring and unimaginable luxury of the Julio-Claudian dynasty in its heyday. 
 
Cargill-Martin sets out not to 'salvage' Messalina's reputation, but to look at her life in the context of her time. Above all, she seeks to reclaim the humanity of a life story previously circumscribed by currents of high politics and patriarchy.
