 | | Caracella left with a punitive expedition but by the next year his ailing father had died and he and his brother left the province to press their claim for the throne. | | | This crisis, sometimes called the Great Conspiracy, was settled by Count Theodosius with a string of military and civil reforms. | | | Early Roman writers, and pre-reformation scholars certainly believed that Celtic Britain may have been Christianized early. |

| | The Asiatics possessed money; and the ordinary Roman, whose characteristic faults were greed and cruelty, shrank from no crime in order to enrich himself quickly during his short tenure of office in the richest region of the world. | | | Circumstances had long been such that national patriotic feeling could hardly be called into existence. | | | There can be little doubt that several of the features of Christianity were determined in Asia. |

| | St. Paul the Traveler and the Roman Citizen (ix) |
| | It is not the Jew who speaks in these and many other sentences; it is the educated citizen of the Roman world attuned to the most gracious and polished tone of educated society. | | | Moreover, the Antiochians claimed to be a Greek foundation of remote time by Magnesian settlers: that is, doubtless, a fiction (of a type fashionable in the great cities of Phrygia), but it shows the tendency to claim Greek origin and to regard national characteristics as vulgar. | | | The history of Asia Minor at that time had its central motive in the transforming and educative process which the Roman imperial policy was trying to carry out in the country. |

| | In studies of magic in the ancient world, Apuleius's defense speech from his trial at Sabratha is often used to illustrate the place of magic in Roman society; after all, it is the only extant speech from any of the trials for magic in the ancient world. | | | This project, part of the Apuleius's Apologia Website, is an attempt to gather information about magic in the Rome's African frontier -- and, consequently, to enable the reader to return to Apuleius's speech with an increased understanding of what role magic played in Apuleius's world. | | | Thus far, scholars who study magic have focused on other parts of the Roman Empire which are much richer sources of information, especially Egypt. |
