Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a series of conversations that took place at a symposium held over several days during the Saturnalia, an ancient Roman festival at the end of December. The symposium was hosted by Vettius Praetextatusâ"a renowned nobleman from the 4th century ADâ"and brought together some of the era's most prominent scholars and public figures. The conversations, which centered around diverse topics related to history, literature, religion, and philosophy, were recorded and later compiled into this volume. As such, the book provides a window into the intellectual climate of the Roman Empire during the late classical period. In addition to offering a glimpse into the social and intellectual dynamics of the symposium's attendees, this book is also valuable for its preservation of ancient knowledge and ideas. The conversations enshrined within its pages cover a wide range of subjects, including the origins of Roman festivals, the nature of the gods, the meaning of dreams, and the significance of historical events. Considered one of the most important collections of its kind, the insights contained within have had a profound impact on the development of Western thought and continue to be studied by scholars today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259605690_0
