Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, FORUM (ROMANUM S. MAGNUM) (search)
ile the basilica Aemilia and the atrium Vestae became the dwellings of Byzantine or papal officials. It was the earthquake in the time of Pope Leo IV in 847 (LPD ii. 108:huius beati tempore praesulis terre motus in urbe Roma per indictionem factus est x, This indiction ended on Aug. 30. ita ut omnia elementa concussa viderentur ab omnibus） which led to the destruction not only of S. Maria Antiqua, but of the majority of the monuments of the forum; and probably the fire of Robert Guiscard in 1084 caused great damage also. Certainly about 1130 the centre of the forum was entirely impassable (cf. Liber Politicus Benedicti ap. Fabre, Liber Censuum, ii. 158); and the description given in the Mirabilia, the genesis of which dates from this period, shows a curious mixture of real knowledge, false conjecture and pure imagina- tion. The level of the forum rose gradually (cf. CURIA IULIA; HC fig. 53), and desolation increased. The return of Pope Urban V from Avignon (1367) led to an increased

nt kings of Assyria. Several members of it were appointed governors of Armenia by the first khalifs. In A. D. 855, this family became independent in the northern part of Armenia in the country round the upper part of the Euphrates. Adom and Abusahl, the last Ardzrunians, were killed in 1080 by the emperor Nicephorus Botaniates, who united their dominions with the Byzantine empire. VIII. MOHAMMEDAN DYNASTIES. 1. Of Kurdish origin, from A. D. 984 to A. D. 1085. 2. Of Turkoman origin, from A. D. 1084 to A. D. 1312. They resided in different places, and the extent of their dominions varied according to the military success of the khalifs of Egypt and the Seljukian princes. IX. DYNASTIES OF DIFFERENT ORIGIN from the eleventh to the fourteenth century. Some kings belonged to the Pagratidae, among whom was the celebrated Haython I. or Hethum in 1224; and some were Latin princes, among whom was Leo VI. of Lusignan, who was driven out by the khalif of Egypt, and died in Paris in 1393, the

; and by his order, Italus, after a preliminary examination by Isaac, the sebastocrator, the brother of Alexis, was cited before an ecclesiastical court. Though protected by the patriarch Eustratius, whose favour lie had won, he narrowly escaped death from the violence of the mob of Constantinople; and he was forced publicly and bareheaded to retract and anathematize eleven propositions, embodying the obnoxious sentiments which he was charged with holding. Cave places these transactions in A. D. 1084. He was charged with teaching the transmigration of souls, with holding some erroneous opinions about ideas, and with ridiculing the use of images in worship; and he is said to have succeeded in diffusing his heresies among many of the nobles and officers of the palace, to the great grief of the orthodox emperor. Notwithstanding his enforced retractation, he still continued to inculcate his sentiments, until, after a vain attempt by the emperor to restrain him, he was himself sentenced to

Nicola'us 4. Of CONSTANTINOPLE, of which he was patriarch from A. D. 1084 to 1111, wrote several decrees and letters, of which an account is given by Cave. (Cave, Hist. Lit. vol. ii. p. 156, ed. Basil.; by Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. xi. p. 85.)

Or, 27 parts of sulphate of potassa, 15 parts of calcined lampblack. Heat to redness in a crucible, and keep in a stoppered bottle. Or, heat tartrate of lead red-hot in a glass tube and seal hermetically. Break the tube and shake out the powder, which inflames spontaneously by contact with the air. See Cooley's Cyclopaedia, page 1084. A pyrophorus for cigars is described as follows: Neutral sulphate of iron is treated with diluted nitric acid and precipitated; the resulting oxide is reduced by heat in a tube through which a current of hydrogen is passed. This is combined with a sulphide of aluminium and potassium and a small amount of carbon. A portion of this is placed on the end of a cigar, the breath is inhaled, and by the affinity of certain particles of the composition for oxygen the iron is heated and the ciga
