Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, word: 1, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Veranstaltung: Kaiser Hadrian, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Diese Hausarbeit untersucht die Frage, welche möglichen Gründe die Erbfolgeregelungen des römischen Kaisers Hadrian erklärbar machen können. Unterschiedliche Theorien der historischen Forschung werden vorgestellt und in Orientierung an den antiken Quellen und mit detailliertem Blick auf den Gesamtprozess erneut auf ihre Plausibilität hin überprüft. Diese Hausarbeit untersucht die Frage, welche möglichen Gründe Hadrians Entscheidungen hinsichtlich der Erbfolge erklärbar machen können. Unterschiedliche Theorien der historischen Forschung sollen vorgestellt und in Orientierung an den antiken Quellen und mit detail-liertem Blick auf den Gesamtprozess erneut auf ihre Plausibilität hin überprüft werden.
Hinsichtlich der Nachfolgeregelung Hadrians beschränken sich die schriftlichen antiken Quel-len auf die Darstellungen Cassius Dios und der bezüglich ihres Quellenwertes nicht unumstrittenen Historia Augusta, aus der jedoch gleich fünf der enthaltenen Biographien von Wert für die Untersuchung erscheinen: die Vita Hadriani, Aelii, Pii, Marci und Veri.
Eine sehr detaillierte Quellenanalyse der Vita Hadriani liefert bereits Jörg Fündling. Neben ihm tragen vor allem Anthony R. Birley, Autor einer 1979 erschienen Hadrianbiographie, und Susanne Mortensen die neuere Hadrianforschung. Die Standpunkte der älteren Forschung des 19. Jahrhunderts finden sich bei ihr zudem übersichtlich zusammengefasst.
Die auffällige Uneinigkeit, die gerade unter den führenden Historikern über die Hintergründe der Nachfolgeregelungen Hadrians besteht, macht dieses Thema zu einem reizvollen Gegenstand für eine erneute Untersuchung.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, observe: 2,0, Universität Bielefeld (Fakultät für Geschichtswissenschaft, Philosophie und Theologie), Veranstaltung: Die wohlgeordnete Polis: Spartas Eunomie, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Machtposition des
Doppelkönigtums und dessen Wechselwirkung mit den
Gemeindeinstitutionen Gerusia, Apella und Ephorat der griechischen Polis
Sparta, wie es sich seit der „Grossen Rhetra“ bis zu König Kleomenes I.
(520-488 v.Ch.) entwickelt hat. Die „Große Rhetra“, unabhängig von der
genauen Datierung (Ende eight. bis Mitte 7. Jh.), begründete die so genannte
Wohlordnung (eunomia), die Sparta für Jahrhunderte vor größeren inneren
Krisen und Unruhen bewahren sollte. Sie beendete bürgerkriegsähnliche
Zustände im Inneren und fällt wohl in die Zeit nach der erfolgreichen
Beendigung eines existenziellen Kampfes zwischen Sparta und den
angrenzenden Messeniern, der mit der Eroberung dieser Gebiete und einer
Helotisierung der messensischen Bevölkerung endete.
Ziel der nachfolgenden Untersuchung ist es zu ergründen, wie groß
das Machtpotenzial der spartanischen Könige tatsächlich battle. Führt der
Begriff „König“ möglicherweise in die Irre, weil er nur allzu schnell mit
absolutistischen Herrschaftsprinzipien in Verbindung gebracht wird und von
dem antiken Terminus der „archagetai“ („Führer“), wie die Könige in der
„Großen Rhetra“ genannt werden, abweicht? Sind die „archagetai“ vielmehr
in das institutionelle Gefüge eingebunden und gar von ihm abhängig? Oder
waren die spartanischen Könige das dominierende, uneingeschränkte
Moment der Polis Sparta, wie es etwa die Könige im Mittelalter waren? Um
diese Fragen beantworten zu können, bediene ich mich auf der einen Seite
antiker Quellen, durch die wir heute einen Eindruck vom inneren Gefüge
Spartas besitzen, und auf der anderen Seite spezifischer Forschungsliteratur,
die auf der Grundlage dieser Quellen Schlussfolgerungen zieht.

A consultant to aligning your lifestyles with the frequencies of the 9 Waves of Creation

• Explains the quantum physics in the back of the Waves of the Mayan Calendar method and the way their holograms form the human brain

• indicates how all through background every one revolution in human recognition has been pushed by means of the activation of 1 of the 9 Waves of Creation

• unearths how we will be able to consciously paintings to deactivate the unfavorable styles of the 6th Wave and show up the harmony awareness of the 9th Wave

In the earlier few years the area has witnessed alterations in social attention whose surprising improvement the ruling medical paradigm has no longer been in a position to clarify. those adjustments correspond with the activation of recent Waves of production emanating from the heart of the universe that impression human pondering.
