	Ernst Curtius - LoveToKnow 1911
		ERNST CURTIUS (1814-1896), German archaeologist and historian, was born at Lubeck on the 2nd of September 1814.
		Curtius then became Otfried Miller's companion in his exploration of the Peloponnese, and on Miller's death in 1840 returned to Germany.
		His brother, Georg Curtius (1820-1885), philologist, was born at Lubeck on the 16th of April 1820.

	Curtius
		Curtius is a Roman nomen shared by several notables.
		Curtius, dressed in full armor and riding a fine horse, jumped into the hole, which then disappeared.
		Alternately, the Lacus was named after Mettius Curtius, a Sabine horseman who rode into or fell into it while fighting against Romulus.

		While Curtius was glorying in his victory, Romulus and a band of Romans made an attack upon him.
		Curtius, who fought on horseback, could not maintain his ground; he was chased by the Romans, and in despair he leaped with his horse into a swamp, which then covered the valley afterwards occupied by the forum.
		All that we can infer with safety from the ancient traditions respecting the lacus Curtius, is, that a part of the district which subsequently formed the Roman forum, was originally covered by a swamp or a lake, which may have obtained the name of Curtius from some such occurrence as tradition has handed down.

		The latter opinion, which also accords with the supposition that the rhetorician Q. Curtius Rufus mentioned by Suetonius was the same as our historian, presents no other difficulty, except that Quintilian, in mentioning the historians who had died before his time, does not allude to Curtius in any way.
		Thus much, however, seems clear, that Curtius was a rhetorician: his style is not free from strained and high-flown expressions, but on the whole it is a masterly imitation of Livy's style, intermixed here and there with poetical phrases and artificial ornaments.

	Quintus Curtius Rufus
		Of the birth of Curtius Rufus, whom some affirm to have been the son of a gladiator, I would not publish a falsehood, while I shrink from telling the truth.
		As son of a non-senator (although "gladiator" smells like insult), he must have made his career in the army, and was able to advance because he was protected by Seianus, Tiberius' praetorian prefect.
		Curtius may not be a great historian, but he certainly tried to be critical, and offers many interesting stories that we do not find in our best source, Arrian, to which he is a valuable and necessary addition.

		Curtius criticizes literary scholars who reject the established philological and historical methods in favour of methods and models borrowed from other disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, psychoanalysis and, «vor allem»: art history (ibid.).
		Curtius´ polemic is to be understood as a crusade in favour of the empiric foundations of literary scholarship.
		Curtius certainly is right when he convincingly argues that for the authors of the Middle Ages, rhetoric is a tool for generation of ideas and structuring of thoughts.

		Donker Curtius stubbornly refused to talk about the plan with the interpreters and declared that he was waiting for a high Japanese official to discuss the matter with him.
		Donker Curtius, who was afraid that all would be lost if he followed his orders too strictly, gave a summary of the plan for the conclusion of a treaty to the Nagasaki bugyo.
		The voyage of Donker Curtius to the Edo court was therefore postponed.

	Curtius
		Curtius sacrificed himself by jumping fully armed and mounted on the finest horse into the gap, which then closed itself.
		The gap, called the Lacus Curtius is situated at the Forum Romanum.
		According to other sources, the gap was created when lightning struck, which was then consecrated by the consul Caius Curtius in 445 BCE.

		Ths origins of the shrine of the Lacus Curtius are hopelessly mired in obscurity.
		One legend of the story has the shrine named for the Sabine leader Mettius Curtius who, during the Roman war with the Sabines, stumbled into a swampy area in the Forum on his horse.
		Varro, on the other hand, states (LL 5.150) that the shrine was erected by a Consul named Curtius in the year 445 BCE, because the ground had been struck by lightning.

		Curtius se entusiasmó con el proyecto, que ponía de manifiesto, contra la crisis cultural, un deseo de síntesis, de reconciliación de las distintas nacionalidades en un ideal de comunidad internacional.
		Curtius cree firmemente en una solución liberal-conservadora que debe ser llevada a cabo por las minorías intelectuales, indispensables para la democracia.
		Curtius creía firmemente que la afirmación de la continuidad y la homogeneidad de ideas en la Edad media y en la cultura europea en general impediría que volviera repetirse la situación que vivió Alemania durante los años 30.

		She also points out the similarities with a contemporary Alexander historian, Pompeius Trogus, but shows that, although at points the texts converge, the differences in purpose of both (Trogus was writing a Universal History) meant that the emphases in the two accounts often lay in different directions, affecting the selection and arrangement of material.
		Thus, B. argues, for Curtius Alexander is the man of vis and self-confidence, whom fortune favours, who is ambitious and acts foremost in the interests of expediency, but who was ultimately corrupted by his own fate.
		In Curtius' description of Alexander's visit to Siwah, tensions are evident in Alexander's relationship with his men, and the potential for a threat to their libertas is already apparent.

		A bit to the east of the dodecagonal basin, the skeletons were discovered of a child, a woman and a man that were bound together and drowned in the lake.
		According to the biographer Suetonius, the Lacus Curtius played a role in the worship of the emperor: many people threw coins in the octagonal basin as fulfillment of a vow for the emperor's health.
		Finally, it should be noted that the Lacus Curtius was the place where the emperor Galba was lynched by soldiers on the fifteenth of January 69.

		A.B. Bosworth, in his entry on Curtius in the Oxford Classical Dictionary, at one point discouragingly professes, “There is little consistency (after strong criticism in the body of the work the final appreciation of Alexander is pure encomium), and the exigencies of rhetoric determine the selection of source material.
		Claudius, as a lover of history and literature, repaid Curtius with a second chance at a public career. While Devine’s account is inventive, fun to read, and hypothetically possible, he speculates to the point of historical fantasy and parses Curtius’ words in a way I have not seen equaled.
		Curtius writes that the newly inaugurated princeps has acted like a new star (novum sidus), bringing a renewed light of hope to the known world (Huius, hercule, non solis, ortus lucem caliganti reddidit mundo).

		Curtius is not a critical historian; and in his desire to entertain and to stress the personality of Alexander, he elaborates effective scenes, omits much that is important for history, and does not worry about chronology.

		Some historians say that Twain was a Confederate deserter, while others say that his loyalties were unswaying and that he could never do anything such as desert his fellow men in blue.
		One important piece of evidence suggesting that he may have played an [sic.] large role in the Southern military is a series of ten letters which appeared in the New Orleans Daily Crescent during 1861.
