(Anne Crosby Emery) 1871 1932 Allinson, Anne Crosby Emery Roads from Rome The estranger -- A poet's toll -- The phrase-maker -- A Roman citizen -- Fortune's ledger -- A road to Rome. E-text prepared by Ron Swanson "Roads from Rome" by Anne C. E. Allinson is a collection of historical sketches written in the early 20th century. The text reflects on the lives of significant figures from ancient Rome, emphasizing their human emotions and experiences, which resonate with modern readers. The central character introduced in the opening portion is Catullus, a poet grappling with profound grief following the death of his brother, Valerius. The beginning of the work unfolds with Catullus seeking solace and clarity amidst his sorrow after experiencing the loss of his brother, who died while serving in the Roman army. As he reflects on their shared childhood and the diverging paths their lives took—Catullus becoming a poet and Valerius a soldier—he grapples with feelings of alienation and the bittersweet nature of memories. The narrative captures Catullus's inner turmoil as he confronts the reality of death and the struggle to articulate his pain, all while linking his personal tragedy to the broader context of Roman society during a time of change. Through evocative imagery and deep emotional insight, the text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of themes of love, loss, and the enduring human spirit.
