Vulca - Flip Flop




It is about Roman history. In India, you do not read much about Roman and Grecian History. Darius and then Alexander invaded India. Ashokan pillars were influenced by Grecian Art and now the Ashoka Chakra is emblem of India on her flag. The Kushan art during Kanishka period is enough proof of influence of Grecian art and its require no further testimony even if there are pleaders against it. If one has to understand the historiography, then he is bound to understand that how the history writing developed and how history, which was merely a part of grammar contents walked out and breathed as an identity. Then, there the seeker may learn that how during Renaissance history tried to find its feet and matured soon so that the 19th century could be declared as the century of historians. You may like it or not but as one scholar has said that it was the kings who ruled the past and they rule the history. Europe was the king when history was made a subject of serious study and you have to learn the rules which rule the history to learn what actually the history is.

But, who is Vulca?
As I have already said that I am weak in Roman history. But I have also given my view that why it is to be studied. It is a small article and an article about a person who probably worked for the last Roman Emperor. The last and the first in history are the categories for which history is most sought by the quiz masters and well even for that criteria, it deserves to explore this one paragraph based article.
