RUFA OF PARKDALE - the difficult, if not impossible, third novel
"Rufa of Parkdale operates with a jittery, brilliant intellect, pulling the ancient world down into the gutters of the city, treating the protagonist's obsessions not as a hobby, but as a survival mechanism against ambient madness."
The Ottawa Citizen, April 14, 1978
"The story charts a quiet, devastating drift through rooming houses and missed connections, culminating in a third act that offers no easy catharsis—only the slow, inevitable attrition of time fading out against the backdrop of an changing city."
Now Magazine, January 15, 1981
"Moore masterfully ratchets up the tension as the boundaries between Parkdale and the ancient texts completely disintegrate. What begins as an intellectual coping mechanism fast becomes a literal haunting. By the final third of the novel, the narrative timeline fractures entirely, blending historical artifact with modern urban decay. The story builds toward a chaotic, feverish confrontation where the protagonist must finally confront the real-world violence they’ve been translating around, resulting in a surreal, heart-in-throat climax that feels like a 3 a.m. panic attack on the Queen streetcar."

Rome Dedicates the Temple of Castor and Pollux
On July 15, 484 BC, according to Roman tradition, the Temple of Castor and Pollux was dedicated in the Roman Forum. The temple honored the divine twin brothers, known in Greek mythology as the Dioscuri, who were revered as protectors of soldiers, horsemen, and travelers. Their cult became one of the most important in ancient Rome, blending Roman traditions with influences from Greek religion.
Legend held that Castor and Pollux appeared on horseback during the Battle of Lake Regillus, helping the Romans secure a crucial victory over the Latin League. After the battle, the twins were said to have ridden into Rome to announce the triumph before disappearing. In gratitude, the Romans vowed to build a temple in their honor, and its dedication became an annual religious celebration.
For centuries, the Temple of Castor and Pollux stood at the heart of Roman political and social life. It served not only as a sacred site but also as a meeting place for the Senate and a symbol of Rome's growing power. Today, the three surviving Corinthian columns remain one of the most recognizable and enduring landmarks of the ancient Roman Forum.
The Birth of Julius Caesar—The Man Who Changed Rome Forever
On July 12, 100 BC, Julius Caesar was born into the noble Julian family in Rome. Although his family claimed legendary ancestry, Caesar's early life gave little indication that he would become one of history's most influential figures. Through military brilliance, political ambition, and unmatched charisma, he rose to dominate the Roman Republic during a time of civil unrest.
Caesar's conquest of Gaul, his dramatic crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BC, and his appointment as dictator for life transformed Rome forever. His growing power alarmed many senators, leading to his assassination on the Ides of March in 44 BC. Yet his death did not restore the Republic—instead, it paved the way for the Roman Empire under his adopted heir, Augustus. More than 2,000 years later, Julius Caesar remains one of history's most famous military commanders and political leaders.
Titus Launches the Final Assault on Jerusalem
On this day in AD 70, the Roman armies under Titus intensified their assault on Jerusalem during the First Jewish–Roman War. After months of brutal fighting and starvation within the city, Roman siege engines and legions attacked the walls, beginning the final phase of one of antiquity's most devastating sieges. Within days, Roman forces had broken through key defenses, bringing them closer to total victory.
The siege reached its tragic climax weeks later when the Romans captured the city and destroyed the Second Temple, a defining moment in Jewish history. The Temple's destruction ended centuries of worship at Judaism's holiest site and reshaped the religious and political future of the Jewish people for generations.

Antoninus Pius Becomes Emperor of Rome After Hadrian’s Death
On July 11, 138, Antoninus Pius succeeded Hadrian as Emperor of Rome, beginning one of the most peaceful and prosperous reigns in Roman history. A respected senator and administrator, Antoninus inherited an empire at its height and continued Hadrian’s policies of stability, diplomacy, and careful governance.
Known for his calm leadership and devotion to justice, Antoninus Pius ruled for 23 years, focusing on strengthening the economy, supporting Roman law, and maintaining peace across the empire’s vast territories. His reign became a symbol of the Pax Romana, the long period of relative peace and prosperity that defined the Roman Empire during the 2nd century.
The Fall of Emperor Anthemius: Rome’s Gothic General Strikes Down the Emperor
On July 11, 472 AD, the Western Roman Empire witnessed another violent chapter in its decline when Emperor Anthemius was killed by troops loyal to the powerful Roman Gothic general Ricimer. After years of political struggles, military defeats, and rivalry between the emperor and his commander-in-chief, Ricimer besieged Rome and brought Anthemius’ reign to a brutal end.
Anthemius had been chosen as emperor in 467 with hopes of restoring stability to the Western Empire, but his rule was weakened by conflicts with Ricimer, who had become the true power behind the throne. His death marked another step toward the collapse of imperial authority in the West, as military leaders increasingly controlled the fate of emperors. Only a few years later, in 476, the Western Roman Empire would officially come to an end.
The Death of Emperor Hadrian, Rome's Great Builder
On July 10, AD 138, the Roman Emperor Hadrian died, likely from heart failure, at his imperial villa in Baiae, a luxurious resort town on the Bay of Naples renowned for its healing baths and lavish palaces. Hadrian had ruled the Roman Empire for 21 years, leaving behind a legacy of peace, cultural achievement, and ambitious building projects. Rather than pursuing constant conquest, he focused on securing Rome's borders, most famously by constructing Hadrian's Wall in northern Britain to mark the empire's frontier.
After his death, Hadrian's body was returned to Rome and laid to rest in the magnificent Mausoleum of Hadrian, alongside his wife, Vibia Sabina. The mausoleum later became the famous Castel Sant'Angelo, one of Rome's most recognizable landmarks. Though some senators disliked him during his lifetime, history has remembered Hadrian as one of Rome's "Five Good Emperors" and one of its most influential rulers.
