Why Roman Empire enthroned its emperors from different regions of the ancient world? What does the name of these emperors indicate? Why names of most of the ancient tribes are seen to have been engaged with the name of Cush, Lava, and Rama?
So far none of the authors of Roman Empire have given the right answer to this question that finds Roman Emperors engaged with their royal administration with peoples of all the four–quarters of the ‘inhabited world’. Each and every book so far published on Greco-Roman world has avoided this aspect of looking at ancient Rome as birthplace of Rama, God incarnated of the epic Ramayana.
Claire Stocks’ review of M. G. L. Cooley (ed.) book , The Flavians. Lactor,…in BMCR(2018.03.23), has failed to reveal the origin of the Flavians; the archaeological side of the Roman world is greatly unsuccessful to identify the seat of Roman administration at Caesarea.
Contributors to the field of Flavian studies should answer what this Flavian means with respect to the literary sources of the ancient texts that are found outside the present.
Pali texts pinpoint Babbara as a tribe, Bheruva as a city, and Baveru as a kingdom and the latter is identified with the ancient Babylon itself.
So Flavian studies should see ancient Baveru at the centre of its studies; the Julio-Claudian ‘past’ refers to Chedi and Chola dynasties of ancient Indian history; the same king is found to have been mentioned in history books of both the sides, and scholars are unmindful of this historical truth.
Names of Juvenal, Cassius Dio, and Arval Brothers can similarly be checked with respect to their nativity; Fasti and Arvalium are place-names, and Tito hailed from ancient Takka, a place in the neighbourhood of ancient Rome near Caesarea or Kesuria of Indian puranas..
While Pompeii refers to Pompa-Sarovara( a pond) of the ancient world which is linked to the image procession and Saracani, Herculaneum pinpoints the Pillar of Hercules. It is fatally wrong to archaeologically find these places elsewhere outside ancient India.
Italicus refers to Atalia; and Valerius to Bellor; Panegyric marks ancient Pingea and Trojan is as same as Arjuneyas of the Indian epics. Domitian is an Mitian or Metylliniaan that refers to Maithili of ancient texts.
The best thing would be to refer to Pali texts of 6th c B.C. where some truthful accounts on Roman world are preserved. Domitian palace does not refer to Latinus of Aeneid 7, it identifies a palace at Alavi( attached with the name of Levi).
