Every new emperor after him was honoured by the Senate with the wish felicior Augusto, melior Traiano (that he be "luckier than Augustus and better than Trajan"). Among medieval Christian theologians, Trajan was considered a virtuous pagan. In the Renaissance, Machiavelli, speaking on the advantages of adoptive succession over heredity, mentioned the five successive good emperors "from Nerva to Marcus" b a trope out of which the 18th-century historian Edward Gibbon popularized the notion of the Five Good Emperors, of whom Trajan was the second. An account of the Dacian Wars, the Commentarii de bellis Dacicis, written by Trajan himself or a ghostwriter and modelled after Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, is lost with the exception of one sentence. Only fragments remain of the Getica, a book by Trajan's personal physician Titus Statilius Criton. The Parthica, a 17-volume account of the Parthian Wars written by Arrian, has met a similar fate. Book 68 in Greek author Cassius Dio's Roman History, which survives mostly as Byzantine abridgements and epitomes, is the main source for the political history of Trajan's rule. Besides this, Pliny the Younger's Panegyricus and Dio Chrysostom's orations are the best surviving contemporary sources. Both are adulatory perorations, typical of the High Imperial period, that describe an idealized monarch and an equally idealized view of Trajan's rule, and concern themselves more with ideology than with fact. The 10th volume of Pliny's letters contains his correspondence with Trajan, which deals with various aspects of imperial Roman government, but this correspondence is neither intimate nor candid; it is an exchange of official mail, in which Pliny's stance borders on the servile. It is certain that much of the text of the letters that appear in this collection over Trajan's signature was written and/or edited by Trajan's Imperial secretary, his ab epistulis. Therefore, discussion of Trajan and his rule in modern historiography cannot avoid speculation. Non-literary sources such as archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics are also useful for reconstructing his reig ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 15:11:06 +0200 From: "Cancer" Subject: 1600% stronger than chemo 1600% stronger than chemo http://inchagrow.za.com/Pg7h4YhbUBAAPCmfLYfs1Qppkb2gzRjTZFwo3wVcF_p8oXuydw http://inchagrow.za.com/c7AsqW243KjEj-mY0ANLInQPDm8LSj-luWm0xrdtTcMpNp404g Cassius Dio claimed that Trajan was the first emperor of non-Italic origins, referring to him as "an Iberian, and neither an Italian nor even an Italiote", but this claim is rejected by scholars. Trajan was, according to the academic consensus, Hispaniensis by birthplace and Italic by lineage. In fact, as asserted by Appian and inferred from the name of the city, Trajan's hometown of Italica in Hispania Baetica was founded by Italic settlers: in particular, according to the description of Trajan as "Ulpius Traianus ex urbe Tudertina" in the Epitome de Caesaribus, his branch of the gens Ulpia, the Ulpi Traianii, derived from the town of Tuder (Todi) in the Umbria region of Italia. This is confirmed by archeological attestations, with epigraphic evidence of the Ulpii and the Traii in Umbria at large and Tuder specifically, and by linguistic studies on the family names Ulpius and Traius, both Osco-Umbrian in origin. Intermarriage between the Ulpii and the Traii resulted in the Ulpii Traiani; it's unknown if they were co-founders of Italica or migrants that later arrived in the town. It is also unknown when Trajan's ancestors acquired Roman citizenship; all the Umbrians were awarded this status by 89/88 BC, with Tuder being enrolled in the Clustumina tribe. It is possible that they lost their citizenship by marrying with non-citizen locals of Iberia, but they would have certainly recovered their status when Italica became a municipium with Latin citizenship in the mid-1st century BC. One author has argued that the Traii ancestors of Trajan were a family of indigenous Iberian Turdetani rather than Italic settlers, but this view departs from the prevailing view in academia. Trajan's father, Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, also born at Italica, was a prominent senator and general, and his mother was Marcia, a Roman noblewoman of the gens Marcia and a sister-in-law of the second Flavian Emperor Titus. Marcus Ulpius Trajanus the elder served Vespasian in the First Jewish-Roman War, commanding ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 14:36:53 +0200 From: "Anti-Virus Protectio" Subject: Don't let this virus continue to spread!

If in reality Trajan was an autocrat, his deferential behavior towards his peers qualified him to be viewed as a virtuous monarch. The idea is that Trajan wielded autocratic power through moderatio instead of contumacia b moderation instead of insolence. In short, according to the ethics for autocracy developed by most political writers of the Imperial Roman Age, Trajan was a good ruler in that he ruled less by fear, and more by acting as a role model, for, according to Pliny, "men learn better from examples". Eventually, Trajan's popularity among his peers was such that the Roman Senate bestowed upon him the honorific of optimus, meaning "the best", which appears on coins from 105 on. This title had mostly to do with Trajan's role as benefactor, such as in the case of his returning confiscated property. Pliny states that Trajan's ideal role was a conservative one, argued as well by the orations of Dio Chrysostombin particular his four Orations on Kingship, composed early during Trajan's reign. Dio, as a Greek notable and intellectual with friends in high places, and possibly an official friend to the emperor (amicus caesaris), saw Trajan as a defender of the status quo. In his third kingship oration, Dio describes an ideal king ruling by means of "friendship" b that is, through patronage and a network of local notables who act as mediators between the ruled and the ruler. Dio's notion of being "friend" to Trajan (or any other Roman emperor), however, was that of an informal arrangement, that involved no formal entry of such "friends" into the Roman administration. Trajan ingratiated himself with the Greek intellectual elite by recalling to Rome many (including Dio) who had been exiled by Domitian, and by returning (in a process begun by Nerva) a great deal of private property that Domitian had confiscated. He also had good dealings with Plutarch, who, as a notable of Delphi, seems to have been favoured by the decisions taken on behalf of his home-place by one of Trajan's legates, who had arbitrated a boundary dispute between Delphi and its neighbouring citie ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 10:44:15 +0000 From: "Billionaire Brain Wave" Subject: Activate your bodyâs wealth-attracting cells in 7 minutes This email must be viewed in HTML mode. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 07:39:00 +0200 From: reham nomeer Subject: =?UTF-8?B?2YXZhdin2LHYs9in2Kog2KXYr9in2LHYqSDYp9mE2YXZiNin2LHYr yDYp9mE2KjYtNix?= =?UTF-8?B?2YrYqSAo2KfZhNiq2LnYp9mF2YQg2YXYuSDYp9mE2KzZh9in2Kog2KfZhNit 2YPZiNmF2YrYqSkgV29y?= =?UTF-8?B?ayBSZWxhdGlvbiDYp9mE2LPZhNin2YUg2LnZhNmK2YPZhSDZiNix2K3Zhdip INin2YTZhNmHINmI2Kg=?= =?UTF-8?B?2LHZg9in2KrYqSDYqtmH2K/ZitmD2YUg2KfZhNiv2KfYsSDYp9mE2LnYsdio 2YrYqSDZhNmE2KrZhtmF?= =?UTF-8?B?2YrYqSDYp9mE2KfYr9in2LHZitipINij2LfZitioINiq2K3Zitin2KrZh9in INmI2KPYtdiv2YIg2KM=?= =?UTF-8?B?2YXZhtmK2KfYqtmH2Kcg2KjYr9mI2KfZhSDYp9mE2KrZiNmB2YrZgi4g2YjY qtmC2K/ZhSDZhNmD2YUg?= =?UTF-8?B?2KfZhNiv2YjYsdipINin2YTYqtiv2LHZitio2YrYqSDYp9iv2KfYsdipINi0 2KTZiNmGINin2YTZhdmI?= =?UTF-8?B?2LjZgdmK2YYg2KjZhti42KfZhSBFUlAg2LTYpNmI2YYg2KfZhNi52KfZhdmE 2YrZhiDZiNit2LPYp9io?= =?UTF-8?B?INin2YTZhdix2KrYqNin2Kog2YjYp9mE2YXYudiq2YXYryDZhdmGINin2YTY r9in2LEg2KfZhNi52LE=?= =?UTF-8?B?2KjZitipINmE2YTYqtmG2YXZitipINin2YTYp9iv2KfYsdmK2Kkg2KfZhNmC 2KfZh9ix2Kkg4oCTINis?= =?UTF-8?B?2YXZh9mI2LHZitipINmF2LXYsSDYp9mE2LnYsdio2YrYqSDYp9mE2YXYudiq 2YXYryDZhdmGINin2YQ=?= =?UTF-8?B?2K/Yp9ixINin2YTYudix2KjZitipINmE2YTYqtmG2YXZitipINin2YTYp9iv 2KfYsdmK2KkpIEFIQUQg?= =?UTF-8?B?KSDYtNmH2KfYr9ipINmF2LnYqtmF2K/YqSDZhdi12K/ZgtipINmF2YYg2KfZ hNiu2KfYsdis2YrYqSA=?= =?UTF-8?B?2KjYqtmI2KvZitmCINmD2KfZgdipINin2YTYs9mB2KfYsdin2Kog2KfZhNi5 2LHYqNmK2Kkg2YXZhiAy?= =?UTF-8?B?MCDYp9mE2YkgMjQg2KfYutiz2LfYsyAyMDIzINmF2YLYr9mF2Kk6INil2YYg 2KfZhNmI2YLYqiDYp9mE?= =?UTF-8?B?2LDZiSDYqtmF2LbZitmHINmB2Ykg2YXYqtin2KjYudipINi02KbZiNmGINin 2YTYudin2YXZhNmK2YYg?= =?UTF-8?B?2YfZiCDYp9mE2YjZgtiqINin2YTYsNmJINmE2Kcg2YrYudmI2K8g2Iwg2YjY pe+/vQ==?= YYX'X1X3X'X* X%X/X'X1X) X'YYYX'X1X/ X'YX(X4X1Y X) (X'YX*X9X'YY YX9 X'YX,YX'X* X'YX-YYYY X)) Work Relation *X'YX3YX'Y X9YY YY YX1X-YX) X'YYY YX(X1YX'X*X)* *X*YX/Y YY X'YX/X'X1 X'YX9X1X(Y X) YYX*YYY X) X'YX'X/X'X1Y X) X#X7Y X( X*X-Y X'X*YX' YX#X5X/Y X#YYY X'X*YX' X(X/YX'Y X'YX*YYY Y.* *YX*YX/Y YYY X'YX/YX1X) X'YX*X/X1Y X(Y X)* *X'X/X'X1X) X4X$YY X'YYYX8YY Y X(YX8X'Y **ERP* *X4X$YY X'YX9X'YYY Y YX-X3X'X( X'YYX1X*X(X'X* * *YX'YYX9X*YX/ YY X'YX/X'X1 X'YX9X1X(Y X) YYX*YYY X) X'YX'X/X'X1Y X)* *X'YYX'YX1X) b X,YYYX1Y X) YX5X1 X'YX9X1X(Y X)* *X'YYX9X*YX/ YY X'YX/X'X1 X'YX9X1X(Y X) YYX*YYY X) X'YX'X/X'X1Y X)**)* *AHAD* *)* *X4YX'X/X) YX9X*YX/X) YX5X/YX) YY X'YX.X'X1X,Y X) X(X*YX+Y Y YX'YX) X'YX3YX'X1X'X* X'YX9X1X(Y X)* *YY **20** X'YY **24** X'X:X3X7X3 2023* *YYX/YX):* X%Y X'YYYX* X'YX0Y X*YX6Y Y YY YX*X'X(X9X) X4X&YY X'YX9X'YYY Y YY X'YYYX* X'YX0Y YX' Y X9YX/ X YX%Y X*X7YY X1 X'YYX$X3X3X'X* Y X#X*Y X(X/X'Y X) YY YYX'X/X1 X'YX9YY X'YX*Y X*X/Y X1X*YYY X0 YX*X7YX(X'X* X'YX9YY X'YY YYY X) X YX-X1X5X' YYX' X9YY X'YYX4X'X1YX) YY X*X-YY Y X*X7YY X1 YYX$X3X3X*Y YYX/Y YY X'YX-YYY X'YYX+X'YY X) YX%X/X'X1X) X'YYYX* YX'YX#X,YX1 YX'YYX1X*X(X'X* YY X.YX'Y X(X1YX'YX, X'YYYX'X1X/ X'YX(X4X1Y X) Y X(X1YX'YX, X4X&YY X'YX9X'YYY Y X'YX0Y Y X-X*YY X9YY X*X7X(Y YX'X* YX*X7YX1X)X YY YX0X' YY X(X1YX'YX, X4X$YY X'YYYX8YY Y X'X/X'X1X) YX'YX) X'YX9YYY X'X* YX'YX'X/X'X1Y X'X* X'YX.X'X5X) X(X4X$YY X'YYYX8YY Y X/X'X.Y X'YX4X1YX)X( X(X(X1YX'YX, X'X/X'X1X) X4X$YY X'YYYX8YY Y X(YX8X'Y ERP YY X'YX8YX) X'YX#X,YX1 YX'YYX1X*X(X'X* YX'YX9YX'YX'X* Y X'YYX3X*YX7X9X'X* YX'YX8YX) X'YX*X/X1Y X( YX'YYYX'Y YX'YX-X6YX1 YX'YX'YX5X1X'Y YX'YX*YY Y Y X'YYX9YY X'YX/YY Y YYYYX'Y YX'YYX4X1YX9X'X*.. *X'YX'YX/X'Y* B7 X*X-X/Y X/ X'YYX+X'X&Y X'YYX7YYX(X) YY X/YX1X) X'YX1YX'X*X(.

Gerald of Wales speaking of the bows used by the Welsh men of Gwent, says: "They are made neither of horn, ash nor yew, but of elm; ugly unfinished-looking weapons, but astonishingly stiff, large and strong, and equally capable of use for long or short shooting". The traditional way of making a longbow requires drying the yew wood for 1 to 2 years, then slowly working it into shape, with the entire process taking up to four years. The bow stave is shaped to have a D cross-section. The outer "back" of sapwood, approximately flat, follows the natural growth rings; modern bowyers often thin the sapwood, while in the Mary Rose bows the back of the bow was the natural surface of the wood, only the bark is removed. The inner side ("belly") of the bow stave consists of rounded heartwood. The heartwood resists compression and the outer sapwood performs better in tension. This combination in a single piece of wood (a self bow) forms a natural "laminate", somewhat similar in effect to the construction of a composite bow. Longbows last a long time if protected with a water-resistant coating, traditionally of "wax, resin and fine tallow". The trade of yew wood to England for longbows was such that it depleted the stocks of yew over a huge area. The first documented import of yew bowstaves to England was in 1294. In 1470 compulsory practice was renewed, and hazel, ash, and laburnum were specifically allowed for practice bows. Supplies still proved insufficient, until by the Statute of Westminster 1472, every ship coming to an English port had to bring four bowstaves for every tun. Richard III of England increased this to ten for every tun. This stimulated a vast network of extraction and supply, which formed part of royal monopolies in southern Germany and Austria. In 1483, the price of bowstaves rose from two to eight pounds per hundred, and in 1510 the Venetians obtained sixteen pounds per hundred. In 1507 the Holy Roman Emperor asked the Duke of Bavaria to stop cutting yew, but the trade was profitable, and in 1532 the royal monopoly was granted for the usual quantity "if there are that many". In 1562, the Bavarian government sent a long plea to the Holy Roman Emperor asking him to stop the cutting of yew and outlining the damage done to the forests by its selective extraction, which broke the canopy and allowed wind to destroy neighbouring trees. In 1568, despite a request from Saxony, no royal monopoly was granted because there was no yew to cut, and the next year Bavaria and Austria similarly failed to produce enough yew to justify a royal monopoly ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 13:59:02 +0200 From: "Critics Agree" Subject: See why this minisaw is 100% worth the hype...

The city was historically part of the county of Midlothian (formally called the "county of Edinburgh" or Edinburghshire until 1947), but was administered separately from the surrounding county from 1482. It is located in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Edinburgh is Scotland's second-most populous city, after Glasgow, and the seventh-most populous city in the United Kingdom. Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the highest courts in Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the British monarchy in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in medicine, Scottish law, literature, philosophy, the sciences, and engineering. It is the second-largest financial centre in the United Kingdom, and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the UK's second-most visited tourist destination, attracting 4.9 million visits, including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018. Time Out magazine rated Edinburgh the best city in the world in 2022. Edinburgh's official population estimates are 506,520 (mid-2020) for the locality, 518,500 (mid-2019) for the City of Edinburgh council area, which takes in some outlying villages in the western part of its territory, and 1,384,950 (2019) for the wider Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region which also includes East Lothian, Fife, Midlothian, the Scottish Borders and West Lothian. The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national cultural institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of three in the city, is considered one of the best research institutions in the world, most recently placing 15th in the QS World University Rankings for 2023. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, managed by Edinburgh World Heritage sinc ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11958 ***********************************************
