The military strength and wealth he gained through his conquests in Gaul would pave his way to a successful career. He was so successful in his campaign that he became famous for his phrase “I came, I saw, I conquered” and the modern historian H.H Scullard even describes him as a man with “outstanding abilities”. Thus the Gallic Wars played a significant role in Julius Caesar’s Career, both politically and militarily. Caesar’s reputation as a General, who is considered to be more prominent than Pompey the great, was not comprehended until the Gallic Wars. Instead he was known to be one of the ablest orators and “most adroit politicians of the day”[F.B Marsh] and his military skills were most likely not rated very highly.
One of the most influential people in Rome was Marcus Cicero, a great philopsoper as we say and exam most of his work today we see a story of a honored and respected man as well as loyal, but his loyalty would prove to be his greatest downfall and which would lead to his exicution. (pg. 149) Rome was built of lawyers, judges, and philosophers. (pg. 149) The romans were more practical thinkers and philosophers.
This view is largely accredited because Pitt came into office in a difficult time but events around him seemed to benefit him rather well. Britain was entering the industrial revolution at the time, industry rose up and trade would boom due to expansion of the industries at home and abroad, the advancements of technology meant that Britain was going through a natural change that arguably Pitt was able to captain through leading to better fortunes. The natural opposition from the Whig party against the king led by Charles Fox meant that Pitt naturally had the Kings support against any opposition which could be thrown at him, the king would back him up. The American Revolution and his lack of connection to it meant that he was seen as a new politician not one of the previously failed governments who’s lack of control and rule in a situation. And lastly the regency crisis of 1788 meant that Pitt could use this to gain favour with the king and gather support from his own party and draw it away from the opposition.
Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola was born on February 24, 1463 and died on November 17, 1494. He was an Italian Renaissance humanist philosopher and scholar, whose short influential life was brilliant, adventurous, and almost theatrical. He is most celebrated for the events of 1486, when at the age of 23, he proposed to defend nine hundred theses on religion, philosophy, natural philosophy and magic against all comers, for which he wrote the famous Oration on the Dignity of Man which has been called the "Manifesto of the Renaissance," and a key text of Renaissance humanism. During the Middle Ages, when God and the church were in the most exalted position, it was considered almost impossible to declare “The Dignity of Man,” the concept that became the starting point of Renaissance humanism. Pico Della Mirandola was one of the first to resurrect the humanism of ancient Greek philosophy.
Discuss the work of Cesare Lombrosso considering the critique of his work Criminological positivism is most famously related with the Italian medical Doctor, Cesare Lombrosso (1835-1909), also known as the father of criminology (Newburn 2007). This essay refers to the research conducted by Lombrosso and the critique it has been subject to over a number of years. Lombrosso’s background and an outline of his original insights and following research into criminality will be discussed, including what he then inspired future Criminologists to go on to explore and find. Lombrosso, born in 1835, was a physician who became a specialist in psychiatry, and also a Professor of legal medicine at the University of Turin. His first criminal insights developed in the 1860’s when he was working as a doctor in the army and the characteristics of the soldiers, however, his name came into Criminological significance with the publication of his first book, ‘The Criminal Man’ (1876).

“A new fact appears in history – the state as the outcome of reflection and calculation, the state as a work of art.” His thesis was that the state was a work of art founded by individuals through reflection and calculation.

The defining change of the Renaissance was humanism, a literary movement that began in Italy during the fourteenth century. Humanism was a distinct movement because it broke from the medieval tradition of having pious religious motivation for creating art or works of literature. Giovanni Pico determined himself to gather up all the ideologies concerning ancient and medieval, pagan and Christian, Muslim and Jewish philosophies and creating a project will aim to secure human happiness.

The Moral of the ‘The Prince”, by Niccolo Machiavelli In this intriguing essay, I will look to investigate the moral and the theme behind the book, ‘The Prince” originally written in 1513 by a former Italian Politician Niccolo Machiavelli, and then will attempt to try and show how the teachings of the ‘The Prince’, to our workplace to give it relevance in the present, even though it was written more than half a century year ago.

This would have had a direct Impact on Italy and mostly in a city like Florence, with a growing political scene that had suffered for most of it’s life. Plenty of political power and perhaps more importantly the struggle around Machiavelli with lots of different factions looking to take control of the principality.
