  Our Nations and Nationalisms

  'Nationalism' is an increasingly unpopular word. Few would apply the label of 'nationalist' to themselves, and fewer still to any part of our history before the 1700s. But then, where does it come from? And what does it mean for us today?
  With one eye on the present as he unpicks the past, Owen Dudley Edwards finds nationalism to be older than recorded history and broader than modern geography. Our Nations and Nationalisms traces the phenomena back as far as the Old Testament and the works of Homer and Virgil, through the attempts of Shakespeare and James VI & I to found the first British Union, and into the Celtic legends that helped form the identities held in the UK today. 
  Taking wide-ranging examples from ancient to modern, from home and abroad, Dudley Edwards interrogates nationalism in action, asking what it really is and how it has impacted upon all of our lives, wherever we live or were born
  This demonised word, he argues, is a fact of human nature. It may take a variety of forms, but we are all, in some sense, 'nationalists'; it is incumbent upon each of us to find ways to use this fact in the interests of humanity, and not a single nation.

  Rome - From a Republic to an Empire

  The story of Rome’s foundation is a captivating blend of myth and history, shaping the identity of one of the greatest civilizations in human history. Rooted in legend and forged through early struggles, the foundation of Rome reflects both its mythological beginnings and the realities of its initial development as a small settlement along the Tiber River. 
  The legendary origin of Rome is steeped in the myth of Romulus and Remus, twin brothers born to the god Mars and a mortal princess named Rhea Silvia. Abandoned at birth and raised by a she-wolf, the brothers grew strong and brave. Eventually, they sought to establish a city where they had been rescued. However, a dispute over the location led to Romulus killing Remus, and Romulus became the sole founder of the city, naming it Rome after himself. This myth, while dramatic and symbolic, represents Rome’s spirit of resilience and its connection to both divine and mortal heritage. 
  Historically, Rome’s beginnings were far more modest. Archaeological evidence points to the establishment of small villages on the Palatine Hill around the 8th century BCE. These communities were primarily Latin-speaking shepherds and farmers who gradually united for mutual protection and trade. Over time, the settlement expanded, eventually forming a cohesive community governed by local chieftains. The choice of location along the Tiber River proved strategic, offering both a water source and a means of trade and communication.
