Agrippa I

V:1. Chapter continues the persecution of the early church. The chapter begins, “Now about that time.” This time refers to the famine described in verse 27 of chapter 11. This Herod is Herod Agrippa 1, the grandson of Herod the Great, who had all the baby boys in Bethlehem murdered in his attempt to kill the baby Jesus. Luke says Herod laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. Why would Herod persecute the church? The people generally do not like the Herodian family

Maecenas, Marcus Agrippa, and to a lesser extent, Livia. While the empire had problems with stability from time to time, the three of them had their roles in cultivating prosperity. The role of lifelong friend and confidante is attributed to Agrippa, as his loyalty ceased to cultivate throughout the years. The trifecta aided Augustus in ruling and improving the empire, while sporadically corralling the Octavian mindset inside of Augustus. Augustus single-handedly appointed Agrippa to settle disputes

CE when Hadrian was emperor. Following Hadrian's standard practice of dedicating rebuilt structures and monuments to pay tribute to the first dedicator, the Pantheon is committed to Marcus Agrippa and the noticeable inscription on the porch façade examines: “M. AGRIPPA L. F. COS TERTIUM FECIT” (Marcus Agrippa, child of Lucius, three-time consul, made this). Beneath the main inscription is a smaller one demonstrating the restorations carried out by Septimius Severus and Caracalla in 202 CE and peruses:

Titus then became Rome 's Emperor and rebuilt Agrippa 's work, but it, too burned down in about 110 AD. Consequently, it was then rebuilt in 126 A.D. The purpose of the Pantheon is unknown, but from what we know today it suggests that it was used as a temple. Whether people worshiped there or the emperor made appearances there is unknown. On the facade of the Pantheon, there are words inscribed in latin that in English read “Marcus Agrippa son of Lucius, having been consul three times made

In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, Victor, Cornelius Agrippa, and M. Waldman influenced Victor to follow a path in life full of science and experiment. Victor influenced himself to follow a path in life full of science and experiment. At the beginning of the book, he wrote letters to his sister explaining his journey and what he did for the past year. He discussed what he did on the ship. Victor wrote, “I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep:... and devoted my nights

Carée also sports a pseudoperipteral façade that runs around the building and El Paso High does not have this feature. El Paso High School has a few engaged-columns in certain areas around the school although they are not a highly important feature, I think. El Paso High School also shares a few things in common with one of Rome’s most famous temple’s, the Pantheon. Both buildings have a vestibule above the pediments, which connect the porticos to the building itself. El Paso High’s vestibule connects

those times. In the Res Gestae written by Augustus himself the reader can find that many times throughout the writings that Augusts is trying to keep a historical account of all the great things he has done, while at the same time staying humble. “I rebuilt the Capitol and the theater of Pompey, each work at enormous cost, without any inscription of my name.” Here Augustus writes about an amazing deed he did, but staying humble and trying not to make Rome only about him, he rebuilds it and keeps

” (29). His father also influences Victor during his childhood. On a fateful stormy day, Victor picks up the works of Cornelius Agrippa, but his father told him not to read it as it is “sad trash.” But because of the natural tendencies of children to be curious and rebellious, Victor “continued to read [the book] with the greatest avidity,” (25). The teachings of Agrippa allow Victor to view the sciences in a different, supernatural light and he even states that it leads to

Epistemological Enquiry into Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Regarded as a canonical example of Gothic Fiction, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein stands as a classical debate between scientific endeavour and philosophical understanding. Both aims at improving the life of mankind – the former through experimentation and explanation of the properties of physical objects, the latter, through reflective study of fundamental problems having non-physical existence like truth and falsehood, virtue and vice, reason

Curiosity can be a necessary evil. Certainly, being inquisitive leads to the accumulation of knowledge, which brings about progression and improvement, but it has its drawbacks. This is a very important theme in the story Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. In the story, Frankenstein went in pursuit of the “elixir of life” (Shelly Web). He wanted to find a way to give and restore life (Shelly Web). Frankenstein did discover a way to perform such unhallowed arts, but ultimately it led to his ruin (Shelly
