Synopsis

The city of Rama remained buried for centuries in the folds of history until, in the 70s of the last century, following the thread of a legend the independent researcher Giancarlo Barbadoro brought it to light. On the trail of megalithism, Barbadoro and Rosalba Nattero were led to an extraordinary discovery: an ancient megalithic city, in the Susa Valley, which has left impressive signs of its existence and of the myth of Phaeton and his Golden Wheel. Many centuries of erased and reinterpreted history have created a blanket of fog that has covered and obscured stories, traditions, customs. Yet, even starting from minor clues, we can discover a path already marked just waiting to be rediscovered. Perhaps the true history of Europe and Piedmont is told precisely by what still remains of the megalithic civilization and ancient myths, such as that of Rama.

    The foundation of Roman society was built upon a complex hierarchy that influenced daily life, social interactions, and political structures. At its core, the Roman family served as the most fundamental unit, shaping personal identity, social standing, and economic stability. The paterfamilias, or male head of the household, wielded significant authority over his family, including his wife, children, and even enslaved individuals. Roman families emphasized duty, tradition, and respect for elders, with ancestral lineage playing a crucial role in societal reputation. Women, while largely confined to domestic roles, could exert influence within the household and, in some cases, in business affairs. Marriage alliances were also instrumental in forging political and social ties, reinforcing the interconnected nature of Roman society. 
    Beyond the family, Roman society was stratified into distinct classes, each with its own privileges and restrictions. At the top were the patricians, an elite group of aristocratic families who traditionally held political power. Their wealth and influence allowed them to dominate the Senate and other governing bodies. Below them were the plebeians, a broad class of commoners that included farmers, artisans, and merchants. Although they had fewer political rights in the early Republic, the plebeians gradually gained influence through social and political struggles, such as the Conflict of the Orders. The lowest tier of society consisted of enslaved individuals and freedmen. Slaves were often prisoners of war or those born into servitude, playing essential roles in both households and large-scale economic activities. Freedmen, formerly enslaved individuals who had gained their freedom, occupied an intermediate status, often working as skilled laborers or entrepreneurs while still facing social limitations.

    Few figures in Christian history bridge denominational divides and cultural narratives like St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Revered for over fifteen centuries, Patrick’s life and mission stand as a beacon of spiritual courage, theological depth, and the enduring power of God’s grace. 
    In this illuminating exploration, Saint Patrick delves into the man behind the legend. From his dramatic early years as a Roman Briton enslaved by Irish raiders to his calling as a missionary in the land of his captivity, Patrick’s story is one of transformation, faith, and unwavering devotion. 
    Taking a look through the lens of both Catholic and Protestant perspectives, this book offers a nuanced examination of Patrick’s life and ministry. Was he a Catholic saint, celebrated for his miracles, his role as a bishop, and his establishment of monastic centers that would transform Europe? Or was he a proto-Protestant hero, defined by his reliance on Scripture, evangelical zeal, and personal relationship with Christ?

    The outbreak of World War II in 1939 heralded the arrival of a new era in military strategy, characterized by speed, surprise, and relentless coordination. At the heart of this revolution was Blitzkrieg, or "lightning warfare," a doctrine developed and executed primarily by Nazi Germany. Blitzkrieg was a military strategy that sought to overcome the static, trench-based warfare that had defined World War I. The tactics were designed to strike quickly and decisively, bypassing traditional defenses and causing maximum disruption. Its goal was not just to win battles but to create a psychological shock, overwhelming the enemy with rapid, coordinated strikes before they could mount a defense. 
      
    Unlike previous strategies that relied heavily on prolonged engagements and entrenched frontlines, Blitzkrieg emphasized speed and flexibility. The term itself was popularized by the media, but it aptly described the essence of the tactics: a rapid, forceful onslaught combining armored vehicles, infantry, and air support in a synchronized fashion. The Wehrmacht, under the leadership of figures like General Heinz Guderian, adapted the lessons of the past and fused them with new technology, creating a military machine that was faster and more mobile than any seen before. 
      
    The strategy was grounded in the belief that modern warfare required more than just brute force; it needed precision, rapid maneuvering, and the element of surprise. The mechanized forces, including tanks (Panzer divisions) and aircraft (Luftwaffe), worked in tandem to create an unstoppable offensive. They would punch through enemy lines with armored columns and then encircle and isolate units, preventing them from retreating or reinforcing. The Luftwaffe, meanwhile, would provide air superiority, neutralizing enemy air forces and bombing key infrastructure.
