Maximino I

Or how to conquer India without incurring an illegal

What was the requirement? To understand, explain a few things beforehand. Because this is a legal. What he painted that on the American Discovery?

Although it is difficult to grasp, because we have a very wrong idea of medieval times to the military action had to be justified legally. Roman heritage. In fact, this feature significantly marked the passing of Castile in the late Middle Ages and the transition to the modern age.

In fact, Castilla had "free reign" to colonize America was the result of international legality. The translation of this fact is the famous Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494. This, together with previous Alcáçovas (1479), divided the world between Castile and Portugal: in short, Africa except the Canary Islands to Portugal, it would have from 370 leagues west of Cape Green Castilla. And everybody's happy.

As time has shown, the piece of cake of Castile was better, and luckily for Portugal was a piece of Brazil to the east of the Tordesillas line.

The requirement basically informing the Native Americans who painted those strange-looking men on their land. Indians had the innocent as God, creator of men, placed a certain San Pedro as their king on the throne of Rome, giving you more authority than any king "civil." This authority became pope potato until another, called Alexander VI, who from his position as supreme boss of the world, commissioned Castilla submission and evangelization of the peoples of the Indies. So, for papal opinion, the Indians became subjects of the Crown of Castile without their knowledge. Of course, free and Christians, while achieving the latter took time. Well, first thing in many cases, but no matter, was contained in the Invitation and the pope ordered it, that's what counts, right?

If already appears surreal, let us state: a remote village in the jungles of Venezuela is the issue of one of many conquerors, capitulation in hand, has orders to find and submit a new parcel of land that God has given to Castile. Besides a lot of Andalusia and Extremadura, rude, smelly, foot or horse, wanting to catch anger and chop, and the conqueror himself has ridden the tour, is a priest. This carries with it a copy of the Request, and when they reach the village (at best), stands before the stunned Indians and begins to read. However, in Castilian, of course. And not just any Castilian, a convoluted and rather specialized full of legal terms. A Castilian that probably only understood the priest from all who were listening, conquerors included.

What did the Indians to such a scenario? One option was to flee. Strangers speaking in tongues mounted strange beasts ... I really would fear. Another option was to take it by the tremendous and attack the invaders. Who thought that such a God through a mortal, deciding what the world was playing whom? Well, I doubt that was as complex reasoning, it is probably because lees to cake were invasive, nothing more. The third option was to ignore the white men, an option that left both sides happy, at least for a while.

Reading the requirement was necessary to conquer those lands legally. And over time, reading became symbolic. In fact, I read in reading, and sometimes even before the Indians could do a mile from the village and then enter the blood and fire. Total, who was going to Chivas to His Majesty, who was in the Peninsula, and little or nothing found out what really happened in India? And if not accepted, it was understood that Castilla could undertake Just War against the Indians. By extension, it was accepted as a failure to respond negatively, and obviously it does not reach if not read in the face ... Every law, a loophole.

As you see, not everything is as bucolic as textbooks paint. And curiously marked this craving for legality, and by far the conquest of America. For example, did you know that the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés was "illegal"? Yes, yes, there should be valid, because although it had a capitulation, it was given in an irregular manner, when he fled, because she fled from Cuba, for fear that Diego de Velazquez apiol (in addition to wanting to reach those lands that were said to have gold to sink a galleon), the first thing he did upon reaching dry land was found Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz (in fact, the first city founded by Westerners in continental America), to nominate one of their colleague has as mayor, and it granted its capitulation to explore and bring the lands of Mexico. With a couple, yes sir.

The requirement, called "the Thracian" Small facelift

Or how a powerful opening decline

As I passed in the previous post, that year in that first race we had a class called "Ancient Universal History, Ancient History gave rather little (no rhyme or reason, at breakneck speed, seeing nothing of Egypt because" it was a lesser civilization ", etc.). Among colleagues, however, do we remember some gems that emerged in class. Most sentences of the teacher, Santos Crespo Ortiz de Zárate, let go from time to time, as a joke, to entertain the Peñaza made us suffer. Among them, two on the character in question, the Roman Emperor Maximinus I, nicknamed "the Thracian" which we usually remember saying that are all that we learned in that subject.

This is a peculiar character. For starters, this is an emperor of obscure origins. Neither one knows for certain the date of his birth, nor the place. Since sources call him "the Thracian" (and "Old" to distinguish him from his son Max, Herodian misnamed by Maximino "the Younger"), historiography has assumed that Roman was born in the province, which today would, more or less, to Bulgaria. But it also may have been born in Moesia, a little north of Thrace, in full Balkans. We care little of, the truth. The we are interested in that fact, it reveals that its origin was rather humble. As to date, more of the same, but everything suggests that must be around the year 173 AD

Location of the province of Thrace in the empire Romano

As we have said, the young Maximino had to grow in that area, but there was a Roman citizen, nor was handled properly in Latin, was a barbarian (foreigner, non-Roman in classical jargon), Thracian sputtering. How such a character might be able to hold the purple? Promotion, promotion, promotion, army, of course. But what was different from the rest of this barbarian? Well, simply, that was unusually large. Apparently, Maximino (full name, once he became a citizen, was Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus, or Vero Julius Maximinus), suffered from gigantism, and says she could exceed two feet. And that, dear readers, as the Roman civilization, where our beloved Latino hardly came to 1.70 m., is an outrage. According to Herodian, in his Historia Augusta (the only source that is about it that is his contemporary), the boy measured 2.59. There are two possible explanations for this:

Or
• sources maginificarle try to hide in some way, or distract attention from the fact that he was a barbarian been more simple, not very honorable for the story Empire.
• Or suffering gigantism. Well, to be correct, acromegaly, but for me a little of both.

As the second option is more beer, is that I keep it to myself.

Bust of Maximinus I

As we said, this barbaric became emperor, the first of its kind to do so. Earlier, at most, had proclaimed Roman emperors in the provinces. And not in Italy, much less in Rome, no, in the provinces. And if that was hard to swallow for many (and for the Senate), imagine when the legions cheered this giant.

Step by step, Maximino was climbing up the hierarchy Legion, until the hand of Emperor Alexander Severus took a giant step (y nunca mejor dicho). Comenzó a aparecer en los escritos (el primero conservado sobre él data de 232, colocando a Maximino como comandante de una legión) y en 235, con el asesinato de Alejandro Severo, fue aclamado emperador por la guardia pretoriana. Aguantó en el trono hasta 238 cuando, siguiendo la tradición, fue asesinado junto a su hijo y colaboradores, y sus cabezas enviadas a Roma.

De este emperador se han dicho mil cosas... Pero dos de ellas, como he comentado antes, no se me olvidarán jamás. Para empezar, se dice que mataba caballos a puñetazos. Así, en crudo, sin edulcorar. A puño vivo. Saltándoles todos los dientes. A mi la escena me pone los pelos de punta. La otra, mucho menos violenta, también refiere a su gran tamaño: usaba la pulsera de su mujer como anillo para su pulgar. Esas perlas y otras cuantas se encuentran en las fuentes que le mencionan. Es descrito como, además de gigante, una persona con cejas, nariz y barbilla bastante prominentes.

Salta a la vista, ¿no?

Herodiano nos cuenta sus virtudes físicas (capaz de correr a la par de un caballo desbocado y luego ser capaz de vencer a siete legionarios en combate singular), food (whole is decanted wine amphorae (and each had a capacity of 25 liters), accompanied by about 10 or 15 kilos of meat, etc.). We note that let dry to a military tribune of a slap, already legion general (ie, between 232 and 235, with no less than sixty years, all the time an old man, while the tribunes were often twentysomethings) which could break down rocks with your hands or drag cars, but were well loaded. Or you could break the legs of a horse (and give to crush horses) to heels.


any case, no wonder that compares Hercules, Milo of Crotona, or at ...

Finally, I think you should comment a couple of other things, less worldly, on Maximinio. As mentioned above, was the first barbarian emperor of Rome, the first of many others. It was also the first emperor who never reached Rome. Of this I have my doubts ... I think as was usually does, so maybe the statement refers to a time was acclaimed emperor. Otherwise, the thing is offense.

he inaugurated the period known as the Crisis of the third century, although it was suspected that before, the political instability associated with the ephemeral emperors (and the million suitors, and fighting between them) firmly established it. It was the first of the "emperors" soldier ", a period in twenty-six emperors happened in the Roman throne in just fifty years. Of the twenty-six, only one did not die violently: Hostilian, who died of plague. In fact, Hostilian was the first emperor in forty years since he died violently, and one of the few who died of natural causes. And few want to say that, for sure, only about 20 emperors of the nearly 100 killed so. Being a Roman emperor was a profession risk, not mine work.

I Have A Lump With Broken Veins What Is It

Errare humanum

Or how upset the blog a bit

This last week has made some changes to the blog inches to make it a little more attractive.

For starters, it has changed the presentation of the entries. And all text will not appear on the cover, but to access the full article will have to click on "Read more ...". Why? To alleviate the burden on the cover, more than anything. Of course, only be functional since the last publication, the above displayed whole (and, for example, here does not take more than the item page, there is more than what you read). Mea culpa to make things difficult when Blogger has an option to make it easy.

On the other hand, has added the option to not only subscribe to blog via Atom (RSS readers, etc.), But via email through FeddBurner.

Finally, perhaps the most visible results is the change header. Why? Because I did the previous badly, hastily, and on the laptop. In it I tried to capture the idea that haunted me for some time. Italic roman and a sketch of what would be the face from behind. Simple and lightweight. Not charge, not tired. I hope it works, and that you enjoy.

Or how despite the millennia are things that do not change

going to do for four years or so, I chose an elective in history called "Inscriptions in the Classical Age" . Who would have thought that I would learn more classic story of Rome in those classes (and in another subject taught by the same tutor on Roman coins) than for the purpose. Things like that make a teacher great.

The guy in question is called José Antonio Abasolo, professor of archeology at the University of Valladolid. From here a warning to prospective students of history at Valladolid: if you have option of taking a course with this man, do a blind eye (if you like the ancient world, of course) is hard, requires to be studied, but the rewards worthwhile. If you are making history because the race is easy, buscaos other parasites.

As I was saying, in that subject through the funerary inscriptions and other than for this purpose, believe it or learned much things about the daily lives of anonymous citizens. Things like what ailed them, waiting for death, they wanted their loved ones, which were concerned and even what they presumed. But we also learned about the process of creating these entries.

warn that all this is going to write from memory, and as I am in Segovia now I have the notes by hand, so there is probably the odd mistake, so ask you apologize to me. He has spent too much time that has continued to enter information into my head to retain so many details. At least I can not for sure.

seems
lie that so many people participate in something as simple a priori: a foundation stone carving (for the logs without concerns: a piece of stone usually cubic or parallelepiped shape, and cuboid so look in the dictionary of the RAE), top it off, enter your text, decorated and ready. For each step there was one or two hard workers, each with their jobs, well differentiated. That is, the planter then not hewn blocks of stone, and lapidary (the one that I enrolled) is not touched up and decorated their work. A good measure against unemployment, go. The salary was miserable, but I did for a living. Interestingly, so you can see how little things have changed, the toughest jobs were the lowest paid.

Continuing the theme, the business of funeral inscriptions was quite similar to what we are today: you order a headstone for your loved ones and indicate what you want to wear. And these Romans, very applied them did so. Moreover, and worth of shows for, yes, again, how little some things change, the workshops used to be samples, something like a standard model that had to add the name or, in more elaborate carving the this bust.

The head is carved post in this case with the effigies of the deceased. There are peculiar cases, like a couple of brothers who chose (or were chosen) a slab model for marriage, one of the two brothers was carved anew in women ... Androgyne, of course

If none of the models met the old-fashioned freak or the buyer could order a la carte registration. And even they could make something like completion of pending orders. That is, something so bizarre to us as order the stone before the recipient dies.

This brings us to our case, which names the item. Our thinking leads us to assign, by sheer inertia, the hardest and lowest paid to those who by their lack of ability or education can not access other better jobs. This in Rome, as a rule, was also well. Take for example this case:

The registration process was as follows, roughly. The client decides what to put, that is targeted in a perishable medium (papyrus, parchment or wax tablets, something like the iPad of yore), and later was marked with chalk on the ashlar grinding and prepared to host the registration character . The lapicida then carved the letters along the lines that define the characters.

a stone thrown in a landfill, dump or as we like to call it (basically, where they threw all the workshop material was not worth, a whole wealth of information, of course) was found the following inscription:

HIC IACET CORPUS DOOR NOMINANDI

mistranslated, hastily, comes to mean something like "Here lies the body of the boy named insert name here." What does this tell us? Well, the poor lapidary, who could not read or write, that left him literally written on the piece of stone, and instead leave a space for the name when they met and the addition, was given to the literal. And yes, he carved it, and convinced that their work was good, sure.

Who would you say to that boy, sir, or whatever, that his work would go down in posterity revealing more about him than they ever could have imagined ... Mundane details like this never cease to amaze me no.

Finally, as for picky point in my research about the existence of this inscription, I found three possible spellings: one, already discussed, the other with a slight variation ("hic pueri corpus nominandi IACET), the third more of the same ("hic corpus pueri nominandi IACET). Latin word made several, unfortunately, I have never come to fully understand let alone master. Apparently, this inscription was found at Hippo Regius, Hippo for us old Bône, now Annaba, in ancient Numidia, in what is now Algeria. It is dated in Christian times, but I can not be more specific. Should be around around 250 - 300, I think. But these are just guesses.
