During the five decades since the Treaty of Rhandeia ended the War of Armenian Succession, an uneasy peace has existed between the Roman and Parthian Empires. The treaty’s terms dictated the King of Armenia must come from Parthia’s ruling Arsacid Dynasty but can only be lawfully crowned by the Emperor of Rome. Following the passing of King Sanatruk in 110 A.D., King Osroes of Parthia appoints a new Armenian sovereign with neither consultation nor consent of Emperor Trajan. Three years later, he forcibly removes the king and installs another, again without the knowledge or permission from Rome.

En Sobre la Amistad, el gran orador y filósofo romano Marco Tulio Cicerón no solo reflexiona sobre la importancia de la amistad en la vida humana, sino que ofrece principios atemporales para construir relaciones profundas, honestas y duraderas.

Cicerón nos recuerda que la verdadera amistad no nace del interés, sino de la virtud compartida.

In this book, I offer a persuasive historical explanation of why Paul did not explicitly condemn the institution of Roman slavery and why Paul did not urge that freedom be granted to all Roman slaves. In an earlier book, I showed that the Stoic philosopher Seneca did not condemn Roman slavery or call for emancipation because Seneca accepted the absolute political authority of the Emperor Nero as the de facto political slave master of the Roman world, despite Seneca's emphasis on the human dignity of the slave. In the same way, Paul's acceptance of Nero's absolute authority as the political ...

Nero as the political slave master of the Roman world wielded absolute power over all his subjects, including the Stoic philosopher Seneca. This absolute political power decisively influenced how Seneca adapted his humane view of Roman slaves to the institution of household slavery. Seneca, who was also Nero's advisor, fashioned an ideology of clemency or mercy to influence how Nero the political slave master treated his subjects and how the Roman household slave master treated his slaves. Contrary to common assumptions among scholars, I emphasize that the political loyalty of Seneca to the...
