As Lisa Hopkins argues in The Cultural Uses of the Caesars on the English Renaissance Stage, a spate of thematic correspondences between Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Hamlet lend weight to the idea that the historical narrative of the Julio-Claudian dynasty provides a frame through which English audiences would have understood the trials of the Danish court both in Shakespeare's play and in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This essay investigates the capacity of such thematic correspondences and the Roman history on which they are based to constitute a field of relatively stable reference points onto which Shakespeare's plays also pin topical correspondences. While topical readings have for the most part hinged on references to Elizabeth and James and the politics of the Court, I am interested in a play's treatment of those figures or events that may strike closer to the home for both the players and their immediate audiences. If we look to the ways in which the historical narrative of the Julio-Claudian dynasty is referenced across Shakespeare's career, we can pinpoint topical references to a significant London figure with a distinctly Julio-Claudian name: the lawyer and public servant, Julius Caesar. The plays thus pass comment on contemporary figures by reconfiguring London personalities and their factions through the lens of Roman history.

В главе речь идет об изложении римской истории царского периода в сочинениях христианских апологетов. В качестве критерия отбора материала избран этнолингвистический принцип, поэтому в статье рассматриваются только латиноязычные авторы. Помимо латинского языка апологетов этой группы объединяет общий ментальный субстрат, полемические приемы и общие источники информации. В статье анализируются различные примеры интерпретации латинскими апологетами событий древнейшей римской истории с целью определения ее общих черт и задач. В результате исследования делается вывод, что основной задачей христианских авторов при рассмотрении ранней римской истории является дискредитация римской старины. При этом апологетами используется тенденциозный отбор материала, рациональная критика событий, негативная морально-нравственная и правовая оценка.
This chapter deals with the presentation of the Roman history of the royal period in the writings of Christian apologists. The ethnolinguistic principle was chosen as a criterion for the selection of material, therefore, only Latin-speaking authors are considered in the article. In addition to the Latin language, apologists of this group combine a common mental substrate, polemical techniques and common sources of information. The article analyzes various examples of Latin apologists' interpretation of the events of ancient Roman history in order to determine its common features and challenges. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the main task of Christian authors when considering early Roman history is to discredit Roman antiquity. Apologists use tendentious selection of material, rational criticism of events, negative moral and legal assessment.

This volume is devoted to the tense relationship of the early Christian Church with the pagan Roman Empire on the one hand, and Judaism on the other. Chapter I discusses what pagan Graeco-Roman authors had to say about Christianity. Chapter II is about the always tricky subject of Jews and Christians. It is carefully argued what exactly divided them in the first centuries. Next it is studied what Christian authors had to say of Judaism. Chapter III takes up the subject of the Judaizers as a cause of disruption
