Summary

History of the Empire from the Death of Marcus by Herodian is about Roman history after the rule of Marcus Aurelius in which there were battles over the frontier and the coexistence of a wide variety of cultures. Herodian writes that the events described in his history occurred during his lifetime. Photius (Codex 99) gives an outline of the contents of this work and passes a flattering encomium on the style of Herodian, which he describes as clear, vigorous, agreeable, and preserving a happy medium between an utter disregard of art and elegance and a profuse employment of the artifices and prettinesses which were known under the name of Atticism.

    Cities are living, breathing organisms composed not of concrete and steel, but of human stories, interactions, relationships, and collective dreams. Beyond their physical infrastructure, urban environments are complex social ecosystems where diverse human experiences intersect, collide, and transform—creating a dynamic tapestry of cultural expression, social negotiation, and collective identity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate social and cultural landscapes that breathe life into urban spaces, examining how human connections, cultural practices, and sociological patterns shape the very essence of metropolitan experience. 
The narrative of urban social dynamics is a profound journey through the human experience of collective living, where individual stories weave together to create the rich, complex fabric of city life. By exploring the social structures, cultural interactions, and sociological mechanisms that define urban environments, this book uncovers the nuanced ways in which people create meaning, build communities, and negotiate identities within the dense, diverse landscapes of modern cities. Readers will traverse the intricate terrain of urban sociology, discovering how social networks, cultural practices, economic dynamics, and human relationships transform physical spaces into living, evolving communities—revealing cities not as static geographical locations, but as dynamic, ever-changing repositories of human potential, conflict, creativity, and collective aspiration.

    Meditations

    Marcus Aurelius

    Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published and the work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.The Meditations is divided into 12 books that chronicle different periods of Aurelius' life. Each book is not in chronological order and it was written for no one but himself. The style of writing that permeates the text is one that is simplified, straightforward, and perhaps reflecting Aurelius' Stoic perspective on the text. Depending on the English translation, Marcus' style is not viewed as anything regal or belonging to royalty, but rather a man among other men, which allows the reader to relate to his wisdom.

    North of America - Loyalists...

    The story of the Thirteen Colonies' struggle for independence from Britain is well known to every American schoolchild. But at the start of the Revolutionary War, there were more than thirteen British colonies in North America. Patriots were surrounded by Indigenous homelands and loyal provinces. Independence had its limits. 
 
 
 
Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and especially the homelands that straddled colonial borders, were far less foreign to the men and women who established the United States than Canada is to those who live here now. These northern neighbors were far from inactive during the Revolution. The participation of the loyal British provinces and Indigenous nations that largely rejected the Revolution—as antagonists, opponents, or bystanders—shaped the progress of the conflict and influenced the American nation's early development. 
 
 
 
In this book, historian Jeffers Lennox looks north, as so many Americans at that time did, and describes how Loyalists and Indigenous leaders frustrated Patriot ambitions, defended their territory, and acted as midwives to the birth of the United States while restricting and redirecting its continental aspirations.
