Q. How do the works of Roman authors such as Livy, Plautus or Cicero relate to today's world?
Asked by Jessica - Fri May 15 04:26:55 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The works of the Roman authors serve as some of the only in depth records that we in modern world can use to see what Roman life, and more precisely Roman political figures were like. We have lots of archaeological and architectural evidence from Rome but that only tells us so much. The Roman authors, though their writings are sometimes suspect and exaggerated because they are emotionally driven and written still, give us an impression of the personalities of figures like Julius Caesar, Marcus Brutus, and Mark Antony. The later Roman emperors are described often as despots and while all of their "crazy" actions may not have been true they had to be based in fact at least in part. When in comes to Roman history you have to draw from as… [cont.]

Do you feel that Niccolo Machiavelli had any constructive influence on political science?
Q. Please remember that he wrote other significant books such as 'Discourses on Titus Livy' and not just 'The Prince'.
Asked by Majestic Lizard - Sun Jan 20 04:36:16 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. M is the 'let's get real' man in this field. He isn't really 'political science'. In the same way that all the economics in the world won't teach you how to run a business, and all the jurisprudence and statutes in the world won't teach a lawyer how to negotiate with another, M is the man who shows how statesmen work in ANY political system.

Q. According to Livy, what strategy did the Romans use in the battle of Zama to deal with the elephants?
Asked by Eleni - Thu Nov 8 02:08:12 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Scipio Africanus used the Roman checkerboard formation where the gaps were filled to create lanes between the legions. As the elephants passed relatively harmlessly through the ranks, the Romans stabbed at the elephants, sending them running back against & creating havoc amongst the Carthiginian lines.

What does "acta essent iussit" say in latin? What verb does iussit come from and is acta essent a subjunctive?
Q. Latin homework help! Livy on the death of Hasdrubal
Asked by Emma Lebell - Thu Apr 30 12:12:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Iussit = 3rd sing, perfect tense of iubeo/jubeo - he ordered/commanded acta essent = 3rd pl, past perfect passive subjunctive of ago, agere, egi, actus. Past participle of verb + imperfect subjunctive (passive) of esse. What you have is out of context and doesn't really translate as is. The 'he ordered' looks like the main verb of a clause or sentence. There's probably something earlier in the sentence that ties in with the 'acta essent'. The 'acta' plus a plural form tells you it's a neuter plural subject - '-a' forms in plural are only neuter. Also, ago,agere has so many ways to be translated it's a guess without context.

A. There are multiple online translations: if you are having trouble, look up your target passage and work back towards the Latin from its crib: 30. Hannibal, therefore, when his own resolution was fixed to proceed in his course and advance on Italy, having summoned an assembly, works upon the minds of the soldiers in various ways, by reproof and exhortation. He said, that "he wondered what sudden fear had seized breasts ever before undismayed: that through so many years they had made their campaigns with conquest; nor had departed from Spain before all the nations and countries which two opposite seas embrace, were subjected to the Carthaginians.

Should I spank my 21 month old daughter?
Q. My daughter Livy is just misbehaving. She is very small, she is almost 2 years old, but she says awful words, she shouts at me, she hits people, etc...This is a very new habit of hers. When it is time to go to bed, she shouts, she hits me, she says bad words. When she wants something also. I do not know what to do, I tried everything, like timeout, serious talks (ridiculous though shes a baby), etc... The "awful" words she heard were coming from the maid, I would never use bad words in front of her.
Asked by Mommy to Livy and Luka - Tue Sep 15 15:37:08 2009 - - 24 Answers - 1 Comments

A. My daughter is 21 months old and I've spanked her a few times in the last several months. Not hard spankings, just a little smack on the rear end to let her know that what she's doing is inappropriate. Usually, though, I put her in a time out in her crib (the only place in the house that she is still confined) for a few minutes when she's done something wrong. If she hits, which is occasional--she does have older brothers, I usually grab her hand and hold it while looking right into her eyes (at her level) and tell her, "no we don't hit", very sternly. Yes, you do need to discipline your child. Discipline strategies vary from parent to parent as to what they believe (spanking vs. non), but you need to be doing something, time outs,… [cont.]

The Prince and Discourses (Machiavelli) contradictory?
Q. Machiavelli was usually considered a supporter of republics. In 1512 he started writing the Discourses on Livy (a pro-republic text) and a year late, for the new prince Lorenzo II, wrote the Prince (pro-monarchy). Why would he contradict himself and write the Prince, and support a monarchy?

A. I think he really meant. The way he wrote The Prince was not in a biased way as works that are critical of monarchies usually are. Instead, the way he wrote was more plain, with the facts laid out on the table. Such as, the only sure way to completely conquer a land is to utterly destroy it. It sounded like as if he was an adviser rather than an accuser.
