"Eternal Rome" >>>
One day, Romulus decided to organize a large-scale kidnapping. He invited residents of neighboring Sabine cities with their wives and daughters to a holiday dedicated to the god Cons. Consus is a figure in Roman mythology. It was probably the divinity of the wheat seed and the deposits for its conservation, which among the Romans were placed underground. Cons also became the god of secret councils, although this may be due to a misinterpretation of the name (Consus - council, council, synagogue; place where councils gather). Servius Tullius testifies to the connection of Consus with the secret councils (En. 8:636): Consus autem deus est consiliorum (“Consus, however, in the Council of the Gods”). The Romans began to grab unmarried girls and take them outside the city walls. Different versions and numbers indicate that 30, 527 or 683 abducted Sabine women, of whom only one was married - Gersilia.
The plot of a she-wolf and twins sucking her udder first found its artistic embodiment on Roman-Campanian coins of the late 4th - early 3rd centuries BC. e. In the same era, statues of Romulus and Remus were erected at the Ruminal fig tree, and a number of images of the she-wolf were preserved.

Отцом был ты для мира давно.
Так величают тебя на земле, как Юпитера в горнем
Небе: ты людям отец, он же — небесным богам.
Ромул, ему уступи: это он неприступными сделал
Стены, которые Рем мог и прыжком одолеть.
Татия ты покорил, Куры малые, как и Ценину;
Риму при нашем вожде солнце сияет везде.
Ты, уж не знаю какой, обладал неприметной земелькой, —
Всем, что под небом лежит, Цезарь овладеет теперь.
Ты похититель, — а он целомудрия жён охранитель;
Ты нечестивцев спасал, — искореняет он зло;
Ты за насилье стоял, — соблюдает Цезарь законы;
Ты над отчизной царил, — первоначальствует он.
Рем обвиняет тебя, а он и врагов извиняет,
Бог ты по воле отца, богом он сделал отца.
Овидий. Фасты, II, 130—144

The Tao that can be expressed in words is not the permanent Tao.
The name that can be named is not a permanent name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth, having a name - the mother of all things.

St. Augustine also writes about fratricide. For him, this is an atrocity that affects the future of all of Rome and proves that the pagan gods are not true gods. St. Augustine also writes about fratricide. For him, this is an atrocity that affects the future of all of Rome and proves that the pagan gods are not true gods. Subjects related to the biographies of Romulus and Remus. French illustrators demonstrated particular skill. Around 1250, a manuscript with the text of the Bible for Saint Louis IX of France, around 1370 - a handwritten edition of the “History of Rome from the Founding of the City” by Titus Livy, translated into French by Pierre Bersuire. During the Renaissance, interest in Romulus and Remus increased. Francesco Petrarch included a biography of the first king of Rome in his work “On Famous Men,” and Giovanni Boccaccio, in his book “On Famous Women,” wrote about the abduction of the Sabine women, and spoke out in defense of women’s rights.
Ромул и Рем взошли на гору,
Холм перед ними был дик и нем.
Ромул сказал: «Здесь будет город».
«Город, как солнце», — ответил Рем.
Ромул сказал: «Волей созвездий
Мы обрели наш древний почёт».
Рем отвечал: «Что было прежде,
Надо забыть, глянем вперёд».
«Здесь будет цирк, — промолвил Ромул, —
Здесь будет дом наш, открытый всем».
«Но надо поставить ближе к дому
Могильные склепы», — ответил Рем.

Romulus and Remus climbed the mountain,
The hill in front of them was wild and silent.
Romulus said: “There will be a city here.”
“The city is like the sun,” Remus answered.
Romulus said: "By the will of the constellations
We have regained our ancient honor."
Remus answered: “What happened before,
We must forget, let’s look forward.”
“There will be a circus here,” said Romulus, “
Here will be our home, open to everyone.”
“But we need to put it closer to home
Grave crypts,” answered Remus.

If "Nature is God"....
Under Louis XIV, the absolute monarchy in France reached its peak. And, as the king himself wrote, the sun “is certainly the most living and beautiful likeness of the great monarch.” It “distributes its light equally and fairly over the different parts of the earth; does good everywhere, constantly generating life, joy, and movement.”
One for the cultural entertainment of the Baroque era - the so-called “Carousel”. This festive-carnival cavalcade was something between a sports festival and a masquerade. In those days, "Carousel" was simply called "equestrian ballet." At the Carousel of 1662, Louis XIV appeared before the people as the Roman Emperor with a huge shield in the shape of the Sun, which symbolized “The Sun itself protects the King, and with him the whole of France.” In this performance, the princes of the blood got minor roles, whether they liked it or not - they portrayed planets subject to the Sun, various natural elements and phenomena.
Louis was a great dancer; he danced every day since childhood. He performed his roles perfectly, demonstrating extraordinary grace to the mother queen, Cardinal Mazarin and the entire court. In the play, in the final part, he appeared in the image of Apollo, the sun god. The appearance of the king was fantastic. The unusual costume was a synthesis of Roman armor and ceremonial clothing; the head was crowned with a fancy dress. All the details of the costume were golden in color, giving the audience the impression that in front of them was the Sun God himself. In many court ballets, Louis also dances the roles of the Sun or Apollo. He was called the Sun King.
Under Louis XIV, a full-scale personality cult of the King was established in France, which involved worshiping Him, praising Him, as well as making sacrifices to Him. Every step of the King - from waking up in the morning to going to bed - was considered a sacred act and was accompanied by a certain ritual.

As the Western Roman Empire began to disintegrate, Augustine envisioned the Church as a spiritual City of God, distinct from the material City of the Earth. His thoughts deeply influenced the medieval worldview. That part of the Church which adhered to the concept of the Trinity as defined by the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople closely identified itself with Augustine's De Trinity. According to his contemporary Jerome (he was elevated to the rank of priest by Archbishop Paulinus. Jerome’s main works are the Latin translation of the Old Testament, made by him from the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, but using ancient Greek texts and the edition of the Latin version of the New Testament. historical work “On Famous Men " De viris illustribus, "Chronicle", in which he sets out the events of world history starting from the creation of the world), Augustine "reaffirmed the ancient faith"
If Neoplatonism viewed God (the Absolute) as an impersonal being, as the unity of all things, then Augustine interpreted God as the person who created all things.
Saint Augustine on Genesis:
God created matter and endowed it with various forms, properties and purposes, thereby creating everything that exists in our world. The actions of God are good, and therefore everything that exists, precisely because it exists, is good.
Evil is not a substance-matter, but a deficiency, its corruption, vice and damage, non-existence.
God is the source of existence, pure form, the highest beauty, the source of good. The world exists thanks to the continuous creation of God, who regenerates everything that dies in the world. There is one world, and there cannot be several worlds.
“God or Nature” in the pantheistic philosophy of Benedict Spinoza
Absolutus - unconditional, unlimited, irrespective, perfect - the fundamental principle of the world, the beginning of all that exists, eternal and unchangeable, which is understood as one, universal, beginningless, infinite and in turn opposes any relative and conditioned Being
The eternal argument of the crusaders “On the city of God against the pagans” - pāg + ānus - De Civitate Dei contra paganos. (rus [tongueх] yazychnik- Logos Language=Tongue rus/fr ).
Quoting or distorting Plato, Augustine argues that the state is based on the idea of lat. justice. iustitia, without which it turns into a “band of robbers” lat. latrocinia - 4:4. From here Augustine derives the concept of “just war” iusta bella - 4:15; 19:7. He classifies murders, robberies and fires as customs of war consuetudo bellorum; 1:7. Reflecting on the commandment “thou shalt not kill,” Augustine emphasizes that it does not apply to soldiers and executioners, since they kill not of their own free will, but out of necessity to fulfill their service, that is, it is good, since for the state, in its name against everyone strangers (untameable).

Heraclitus, who used it in a philosophical sense and, in essence, identified it with fire as the basis of everything; according to Heraclitus, fire is the fundamental principle of the world (arche) and its main element or stocheion, called “logos” eternal and universal necessity.
By the 2nd century AD, the concept of LOGOS had firmly entered the sphere of Jewish and Christian teachings. The term LOGOS was reinterpreted as the word of a personal and living God (Lord) who "calls out" the word [Logos] to things and thereby calls them out of non-existence. For Philo of Alexandria, Logos is the image of God, a kind of “second God,” a mediator between the otherworldliness of God and the thisworldliness of the world
