	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.11.17
		Ronald Syme was one of the greatest ancient historians of this century.
		Syme's prose was instead refreshingly austere and arctic, somehow leaving the impression that its frosty precision was a guarantee of historical veracity and insight.
		Syme's careful studies on Strabo and Asia Minor are not going to challenge any currently fashionable approaches or topics in ancient history; but in the working out of those approaches or the researching of those topics every generation of scholars must struggle again with the sort of meticulous investigations represented in these chapters.

	Ronald Syme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Ronald Syme OM (11 March 1903 – 4 September 1989), New Zealand-born historian, was an eminent classicist of the 20th century.
		He was born to David and Florence Syme in Eltham, New Zealand, where he attended primary and secondary school; a bad case of measles would seriously damage his vision during this period.
		Syme was also appointed Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford from 1970 until the late 1980's, where an annual lecture was established in his memory.

	Ronald Syme - Wikipedia
		Symes Vorfahren stammten ursprünglich aus Schottland, er selbst war jedoch seiner Heimat Neuseeland tief verbunden und gab auch seine neuseeländische Staatsbürgerschaft nie auf.
		Syme studierte zunächst an der Universität in Wellington, später in Oxford, wo er seit 1929 auch lehrte.
		1959 wurde Syme zum Ritter geschlagen, 1970 ging er in den Ruhestand, blieb aber bis zu seinem Tod wissenschaftlich produktiv.

	Puke Ariki - Taranaki Stories - Ronald Syme: Taranaki's Forgotten Son
		Sir Ronald Syme, one-time Taranaki schoolboy, lately Camden professor of ancient history at Oxford, the holder of honorary degrees in 11 countries on five continents, died 14 years ago, a scholar who was arguably one of Taranaki's greatest sons.
		Ronald Syme, younger cousin to well-known Taranaki mountaineer and horticulturalist Rod Syme, attended primary school at Eltham and then Stratford District High School before moving to NPBHS as a boarder in 1918.
		Syme's writing style - clipped, passionate, heavy with allusion and often with irony - moved his work from being the sole domain of the scholar to become pleasurable reading for the interested amateur as well.

		In this paper, Syme describes the evolution of his research interests after the journey that took him from New Zealand to Oxford as "a youth who in 1924 earned MA honours in French--and who in the sequel wavered for a while between modern languages and the classics" (p.
		Syme is justly famous for his studies of the ruling classes of the empire, of the circumstances under which they lived, married, dined, prospered or failed, and died.
		In addition to the specific essays, there are two general essays in which Syme summarizes his feelings about the general historical value of studying the Roman aristocracy in a world where, by his own estimate, 86.5% of the population lived in the country (p.

		Syme's analysis of the end of the Free State is as authoritative as it is magisterial.
		Syme's style deliberately echoes that of his hero, Tacitus, and he is a difficult but rewarding read.

		With this classic book, Sir Ronald Syme became the first historian of the twentieth century to place Sallust--whom Tacitus called the most brilliant Roman historian--in his social, political, and literary context.
		Scholars had considered Sallust to be a mere political hack or pamphleteer, but Syme's text makes important connections between the politics of the Republic and the literary achievement of the author to show Sallust as a historian unbiased by partisanship.
		Ronald Mellor is Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles.

		Syme's reasoning is bold and forthright, and while he has no claim to be taken as gospel he never seems to me perverse or unreasonable.
		Syme's views (that Late Republican Roman politics was centered on intra-families aristocratic feuding and steered away from substantive issues) which has no appeal to me, but I think he has developed his point in the most throughly and consciencious manner - excessively so, I think.
		Syme successfully avoids to create a picture of ironclad necessity, which so often mars the perspective of historical writing, but it also becomes quite clear, that in the end timely and better informed decisions succeeded over poorer judgement.

		I said swept, but Syme's monumental study shows that dumb luck and blind opportunity played only a small part in the ascend of one of the coldest, most ruthless, and most calculating minds who ever aspired political power.
		What impresses most in Sir Ronald's study, is the way this historian manages to unravel the entangled messiness of cross-purpose policies, blind chance, and calculated action.
		Syme avoids to create the picture of an ironclad necessity, which so often mars the perspective of historical writing, but it also becomes quite clear, that in the end timely and better informed decisions succeeded over poorer judgement.

		Caesar the Politician Caesar Ronald Syme, the author of the assigned passage, is one of the leading ancient historians of the present.
		By the time Syme began to write, there was much more research on the dismal side of Caesar’s monarchy than earlier authors, such as Theodor Mommsen had.
		Syme argues that in the “Roman Revolution”, Caesar could not control the new social group he acquired.

		Syme studied Roman familial relationships - I think the technical word is "prosopography" (spelling may be wrong, it's 6.30am as I type!!).
		The papers may well be his work in that field - short essays on who married who, filling in blanks in the record.
		Syme used the relationships to extrapolate political alliances etc.

		Ronald Syme (1903-1989): one of the most important scholars of the twentieth century, although his contribution to the study of history is limited to the introduction of the techniques and results of German scholarship into the Anglo-Saxon world (e.g., prosopography).
		His The Roman Revolution appeared in the week that the Second World War broke out, and this is significant: being confronted with tyrants like Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini, Syme was unable to share the enthusiasm for heroic legislators that had once been common.
