from Iliad (Pope Translation) · host Homer

"Catiline Conspiracy and the Jugurthine War" by Sallustius Crispus delves into two pivotal events in Roman history, exploring the political intrigue surrounding the Catiline Conspiracy and the challenges of the Jugurthine War. Sallust's incisive examination of corruption, power struggles, and moral decay in Roman society remains strikingly relevant today, echoing contemporary themes of political discontent and the complexities of governance. His sharp insights into human nature and the consequences of ambition serve as a timeless reminder of the fragility of democracy and the perennial struggle against tyranny. This work invites listeners to reflect on the lessons of history and the enduring impact of political machinations on society.

The Art of Arms l’Arte Dell Armi At the Art of Arms we have one solitary vision, to bring the historical martial arts we study as HEMA or WMA practitioners to life by telling the stories of those who lived it. The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners. We hope you enjoy! The Law Dave Jones This translation of The Law was done by Dean Russell of The Foundation staff. His objective was an accurate rendering of Mr. Bastiat's words and ideas into twentieth century, idiomatic English. A nineteenth century translation of The Law, made in 1853 in England by an unidentified contemporary of Mr. Bastiat, was of much value as a check against this translation. In addition, Dean Russell had his work reviewed by Bertrand de Jouvenel, the noted French economist, historian, and author who is also thoroughly familiar with the English language. While Mr. de Jouvenel offered many valuable corrections and suggestions, it should be clearly understood that Dr. Russell bears full responsibility for the translation.
