Ursus Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I've seen my own views become slightly modified as I do more research on my own, and learn from others. I have learned much from the "core members" of this site, even if I don't always agree with them, and that is why I stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 That is a hard question to answer without a large essay. The people who concentrate on the Late Empire have opened my eyes to how Romanatis was still practiced in the transition from paganism to Christianity. I have come to view Constantine and his successors with less hostility. People like Pantagathus, Pertinax and Andrew Dalby offer archaeological and quotidian elements to Romanatis. In particular, I became interested in how Romanatis could fuse with various cultures - such as those practiced by the Celts and Punics, and not just the Greeks. And then people like yourself ensure there is no end of analysis to the transition from Republic to Empire, and everything that thrust onto the Roman character. I'm not sure if my views have radically changed, but I do see things in a broader perspective at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
