After The Book Was Planned And In Part Written, It Was Discovered That Archdeacon Farrar Had In His Story Of "Darkness And Dawn" A Scene, "Onesimus And The Vestal," Which Corresponds Very Closely To The Scene, "Agias And The Vestal," In This Book; But The Latter Incident Was Too Characteristically Roman Not To Risk Repetition. If It Is Asked Why Such A Book As This Is Desirable After Those Noble Fictions, "Darkness And Dawn" And "Quo Vadis," The Reply Must Be That These Books Necessarily Take And Interpret The Christian Point Of View. And They Do Well; But The Pagan Point Of View Still Needs Its Interpretation, At Least As A Help To An Easy Apprehension Of The Life And Literature Of The Great Age Of The Fall Of The Roman Republic. This Is The Aim Of "A Friend Of Caesar." The Age Of Caesar Prepared The Way For The Age Of Nero, When Christianity Could Find A World In a State Of Such Culture, Unity, And Social Stability That It Could Win An Adequate And Abiding Triumph.

If this book serves to show that Classical Life presented many phases akin to our own, it will not have been written in vain. After the book was planned and in part written, it was discovered that Archdeacon Farrar had in his story of Darkness and Dawn a scene, Onesimus and the Vestal, which corresponds very closely to the scene, Agias and the Vestal, in this book; but the latter incident was too characteristically Roman not to risk repetition. If it is asked why such a book as this is desirable after those noble fictions, Darkness and Dawn and QuoVadis, the reply must be that these books necessarily take and interpret the Christian point of view. And they do well; but the Pagan point of view still needs its interpretation, at least as a help to an easy apprehension of the life and literature of the great age of the Fall of the Roman Republic. This is the aim of A Friend of Caesar. The Age of Caesar prepared the way for the Age of Nero, when Christianity could find a world in a state of such culture, unity, and social stability that it could win an adequate and abiding triumph. Great care has been taken to keep to strict historical probability; but in one scene, the Expulsion of the Tribunes, there is such a confusion of accounts in the authorities themselves that I have taken some slight liberties.

To The Student Of Political History, And To The English Student Above All Others, The Conversion Of The Roman Republic Into A Military Empire Commands A Peculiar Interest. Notwithstanding Many Differences, The English And The Romans Essentially Resemble One Another. The Early Romans Possessed The Faculty Of Self-Government Beyond Any People Of Whom We Have Historical Knowledge, With The One Exception Of Ourselves. In Virtue Of Their Temporal Freedom, They Became The Most Powerful Nation In The Known World; And Their Liberties Perished Only When Rome Became The Mistress Of Conquered Races, To Whom She Was Unable Or Unwilling To Extend Her Privileges. If England Was Similarly Supreme, If All Rival Powers Were Eclipsed By Her Or Laid Under Her Feet, The Imperial Tendencies, Which Are As Strongly Marked In Us As Our Love Of Liberty, Might Lead Us Over The Same Course To The Same End. If There Be One Lesson Which History Clearly Teaches, It Is This, That Free Nations Cannot Govern Subject Provinces. If They Are Unable Or Unwilling To Admit Their Dependencies To Share Their Own Constitution, The Constitution Itself Will Fall In Pieces From Mere Incompetence For Its Duties. [mehr]

It Had Come--The Great Crisis That By Crooked Ways Or Straight Was To Set Right All The Follies And Crimes Of Many A Generation. On The Calends Of January Lentulus Crus And Caius Clodius Marcellus Were Inaugurated Consuls. In Solemn Procession With Senate, Priesthoods, And People, They Had Gone Up To The Capitol And Sacrificed Chosen White Steers To Jupiter, "Best And Greatest,"[135] And Invoked His Blessing Upon The Roman State. And So Began The Last Consulship Of The Free Republic. [mehr]

It Was The Roman Month Of September, Seven Hundred And Four Years After Romulus--So Tradition Ran--Founded The Little Village By The Tiber Which Was To Become "Mother Of Nations," "Centre Of The World," "Imperial Rome." To State The Time According To Modern Standards It Was July, Fifty Years Before The Beginning Of The Christian Era. The Fierce Italian Sun Was Pouring Down Over The Tilled Fields And Stretches Of Woodland And Grazing Country That Made Up The Landscape, And The Atmosphere Was Almost Aglow With The Heat. The Dust Lay Thick On The Pavement Of The Highway, [mehr]
