Chapters: 127 Bc Births, 127 Bc Deaths, Nicomedes Ii of Bithynia, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius, Liu Yu. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius (ca 130 BC or 127 BC 63 BC) was a pro-Sullan state figure. He was named Pius because of his 99 BC petition to return his father from exile and made justice to his cognomen for the constance, frontality and inflexibility with which he always fought for his father's rehabilitation and return to Rome. He was elected Quaestor in 97 BC, Tribune in 92 and Pontifex Maximus in 81, a Praetor in 89 BC, Consul in 80. He withdrew from Rome during the civil fights between Marius and Sulla, returning afterwards with the latter. As a military figure, he had his first commands in the war in 109-107 BC, when he accompanied his father Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus in Numidia during Jugurthine War, where his father took him as a simple cadet. He was later revealed to be one of the best subordinates of Sulla, but without any other objective than the one of fighting the demagogy with which Marius threatened Rome, never participating in the atrocious violence that marked such a troubled phase of the History of Rome. He was also one of the Roman commanders in the Social War of 90 - 89 BC. A Propraetor at that time, Pius stormed Venusia and killed the general of the Marsi, Quintus Poppaedius Silo. In 87 BC Pius by the order of Senate tried to make peace with the Samnites. Made a Consul in 80 BC, he was then sent to Spain to combat Quintus Sertorius, where Sertorius and Marcus Perpenna Vento faced the Roman power, establishing his bases in Metellinum (today Medellín) Castra Caecilia (today Cáceres), Viccus Caecilius, at the Sierra de Gredos, and at Caeciliana, near Setúbal.

J.-C. environ, et le petit-fils de Nicomède I. Prusias épouse Apama IV, la fille de Démétrios II roi de Macédoine. Il mène une guerre contre Byzance afin d'étendre son influence sur les Détroits. Aussi Byzance, submergée par les tributs qu'elle devait payer aux Gaulois, fit payer un droit d'entrée dans le Pont-Euxin, mais également un droit de sortie. Mécontents de ces taxes excessives, les Rhodiens, de grands marins, décidèrent de mener une guerre contre les Byzantins. Prusias s'allia à Rhodes pendant cette guerre qui eut lieu en -220. Byzance appelle au secours Attale I de Pergame et Achaios I. Prusias craint beaucoup car ces deux ennemis sont de grands guerriers, Attale I était roi en deça du Taurus. Prusias avait plusieurs raisons d'en vouloir à Byzance : les Byzantins n'avaient pas respecté plusieurs promesses. Prusias, après un accord avec Rhodes, eut en charge les attaques sur terre et Rhodes, sur mer. Prusias s'empara de l'Hiéron et des terres byzantines d'Asie. Cauaros, le roi des Galates de Thrace, partit pour Byzance pour faire négocier un compromis et faire cesser la guerre. Prusias et Byzance furent d'accord pour signer cet accord mais pas Rhodes. Les Rhodiens envoyèrent une ambassade pour signer la paix mais aussi des trières pour montrer qu'ils pouvaient continuer la guerre. La paix fut donc conclue. Le traité stipulait que Byzance s'abstiendrait de faire payer des taxes à l'entrée du Pont-Euxin....http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Qin Shi Huang, Tiberius Sempronius Longus, Meng Tian, Nicomède, Cnaeus Fulvius Centunalus Maximus. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Qin Shi Huangdi (秦始皇帝 pinyin : Qín Shǐ Huángdì ; anciennement Tsin Chi Hoang) (v. -259 - 10 septembre -210) fut d'abord le roi de Qin de -247 à -221. Il mit fin à la période féodale en conquérant un à un l'ensemble des Royaumes combattants entre -230 et -221 et devint l'unificateur de l'empire de Chine, et par conséquent l'empereur fondateur de la dynastie Qin (-221 à -207). Il standardisa l'écriture, la langue, la monnaie, les poids et les mesures et il est vu comme le père de la Grande Muraille de Chine. Pourtant, si son œuvre posa les bases de la période impériale chinoise, c'est pour le caractère cruel et autoritaire de son règne, inspiré par la philosophie légiste, que l'on se souvient surtout de lui. Sa dynastie lui survécut moins de trois ans, à la suite de quoi le pays replongea dans une guerre civile que seul le fondateur de la Dynastie Han parvint finalement à éteindre. Connu principalement par les Annales Historiques de Sima Qian ( siècle av. J.-C.), la redécouverte en 1974 de son monumental mausolée à Xi'an et de ses milliers de soldats en terre cuite fascinent aujourd'hui les archéologues autant que le public du monde moderne. Son nom de famille était Ying (嬴) et son prénom Zheng (政), choisi dit-on parce qu'homonyme du mois de sa naissance (正), le premier de l'année chinoise. Le nom personnel du souverain n'étant pas, par respect, employé de son vivant, il était donc pour ses contemporains le « roi de Qin ». Les historiens le mentionnent néanmoins comme « roi Zheng de Qin ». En 221 av. J.-C., il prit officiellement le titre de « Premier auguste souverain...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Chapters: Nicomedes I of Bithynia, Zipoites I of Bithynia, Nicomedes Iii of Bithynia, Bas of Bithynia, Zipoites Ii of Bithynia. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Nicomedes I (Greek: ; 278c. 255 BC), second king of Bithynia, was the eldest son of Zipoites, whom he succeeded on the throne in 278 BC. He commenced his reign by putting to death two of his brothers but the third, subsequently called Zipoites II, raised an insurrection against him and succeeded in maintaining himself, for some time, in the independent sovereignty of a considerable part of Bithynia. Meanwhile, Nicomedes was threatened with an invasion from Antiochus I Soter, king of the Seleucid Empire, who had already made war upon his father, Zipoites, and, to strengthen himself against this danger, he concluded an alliance with Heraclea Pontica and shortly afterwards with Antigonus II Gonatas. The threatened attack, however, passed over with little injury. Antiochus actually invaded Bithynia but withdrew again without risking a battle. It was more against his brother than his foreign enemies that Nicomedes now called in the assistance of more powerful auxiliaries and entered into an alliance with the Celts who, under Leonnorius and Lutarius, had arrived on the opposite side of the Bosporus and were, at this time, engaged in the siege of Byzantium, 277 BC. Having furnished them with the means of crossing into Asia he first turned the arms of his new auxiliaries against Zipoetes, whom he defeated and put to death, and thus reunited the whole of Bithynia under his dominion. Of the events that followed we have little information. It is probable that the Celts subsequently assisted Nicomedes against Antiochus but no particulars are recorded, either of the war or the peace that terminated it...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=77431 ...

Universidad de Alicante. 2006. 400 p.
La lírica española del siglo XIX, con contadas excepciones, como la de Bécquer, no ha merecido la atención que la crítica ha prestado a otros periodos literarios o incluso a otras modalidades literarias del mismo siglo. Las consecuencias son evidentes. La mayoría de nuestros poetas decimonónicos permanecen en un limbo crítico alimentado de prejuicios e ignorancia. Sin embargo, la obra de Espronceda, de Bécquer o de Rosalía de Castro, los tres supervivientes de esta situación, no nace aislada del contexto cultural y literario. Es más, su originalidad solamente es valorable sobre ese fondo de autores y autoras que se enfrentaron a las ideas románticas, primero, y luego prepararon, con mayor o menor conciencia, el camino del simbolismo finisecular.
Nicomedes-Pastor Díaz Corbelle (Viveiro, 1811-Madrid, 1863) es un poeta singular, y lo es en todos los sentidos que se le quiera dar a esa singularidad, incluidos el de su mérito como poeta o incluso cierta excentricidad funeraria y morbosa. Su romanticismo es más temprano que el de Espronceda. No incurrió en el historicismo romántico, tan popular entre los españoles, ni fue revolucionario al modo byroniano. Su nota más característica es una subjetividad alimentada en poetas como Lamartine o Hugo, lo cual no era tan frecuente como cabría esperar. Algo semejante sucede con su faceta teórica y crítica, que lo lleva a repensar constantemente su escritura. Por todo esto, y no sin contradicciones, Pastor Díaz ofrece una imagen de modernidad que le ha permitido ser considerado precursor de Bécquer y un primer eslabón en el camino real de la modernidad lírica española.
