Book Description
Excerpt from Roman Society From Nero to Marcus Aurelius Yet, as in the artistic drama there must be a beginning and an end, although the action can only be ideally severed from what has preceded and What is to follow in actual life, so a limited Space in the collective history of a people may be legitimately set apart for concentrated study. But as in the case of the drama, such a period should possess a certain unity and intensity of moral interest. It should be a crisis and turning-point in the life of humanity, a period pregnant with momentous issues, a period in which the old order and the new are contending for mastery, or in which the old is melting into the new. Above all, it should be one in which the great social and spiritual movements are incarnate in some striking personalities, who may give a human interest to dim forces of Spiritual evolution.
