Abstract

Considering that Hannah Arendt proposed a particular kind of approach to the Greek and Roman past, which encourages us to rethink the epistemological approach to ancient past, this paper focus in two interrelated topics. First, I intend to explore some aspects of the relationship between modern present and ancient past in Hannah Arendt thought and then, considering the Epigraphic evidence from Pompeii, I would like to rethink the perceptions of happiness among the common people in ancient Rome.
