‎ROMAN OSTIA‎

‎Oxford University Press. 1977. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Pages a bit browned. Minor bumping to a couple of corners. DJ has minor edgewear and a bit of chipping.; Ostia an ancient town on the coast facing the Tyrrhenian Sea in Latium Italy was the harbour of ancient Rome and perhaps its first colonia. Located at the mouth of the River Tiber Ostia was said to have been founded by Ancus Marcius one of the kings of Rome in the 7th century BC. However the most ancient archaeological remains so far discovered are no earlier than the 4th century BC and the most ancient buildings currently visible are from the 3rd century BC notably the Castrum military camp and of a slightly later date the Capitolium temple of Jupiter Juno and Minerva. The opus quadratum walls of the original castrum at Ostia provide important evidence for the building techniques that were employed in Roman urbanism during the period of the Middle Republic. Although Ostia was probably founded for the sole purpose of military defence — since through the Tiber's mouths armies could eventually reach Rome by water — in time the port became a commercial harbour and a very important one too. Many of the goods that Rome received from its colonies and provinces passed through Ostia. In this role Ostia soon replaced Pozzuoli.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 722 pages . 0198148100 .

‎Neils, Jenifer‎

‎THE PARTHENON FRIEZE‎

‎Cambridge University Press. 2001. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Includes cd-rom; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 316 pages; While the sculpted Ionic frieze of the Parthenon with its galloping horsemen and classically portrayed gods is reproduced in every art history text and has been much studied by scholars no single book has yet been devoted to all its myriad aspects. This study by classical archaeologist and art historian Jenifer Neils breaks new ground by considering all aspects of this complex and controversial monument. Although the frieze has been studied for over two hundred years most scholarship has sought an overall interpretation of the iconography rather than focusing on the sculpture's visual language essential for a full understanding of the narrative. Neils' study not only decodes the language of the frieze but also analyzes its conception and design style and content as well as its impact on later art. Unusual for its wide-ranging approach to the frieze this book also brings ethical reasoning to bear on the issue of its possible repatriation as part of the on-going Elgin Marble debate. As one of the foremost examples of the high classical style and the finest expression of mid-fifth century Athenian ideology the Parthenon frieze is without doubt one of the major monuments of western civilization and as such deserves to be understood in all its dimensions. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a virtual reality Macromedia Director movie of the complete frieze based on the plaster casts in the Skulpturhalle in Basel Switzerland. Developed by Rachel Rosenzweig of the Department of Greek and Roman Art of the Cleveland Museum of Art the casts are arranged in conformity with Neils' reconstruction and enable the user to view them in succession as if walking around the Parthenon. The CD-ROM requires a computer running either MAC OS 8.01 or later or Windows 95 or later. . 0521641616 . Cambridge University Press hardcover‎

‎DYNASTY AND EMPIRE IN THE AGE OF AUGUSTUS; The Case of the Boscoreale Cups‎

‎University of California Press. 1995. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 465 pages; The two silver skyphoi commonly known as the Boscoreale Cups of Augustus and Tiberius are indispensable for providing the documentation of one of the only two cycles of Roman imperial state reliefs to survive from the Julio-Claudian period. Ann Kuttner offers the first comprehensive examination of these historical treasures. Kuttner studies the Cups not only from the standpoint of art history but also as they relate to Augustan ideology and politics. When she began work on this book the whereabouts of the Cups were unknown and she had to rely on the illustrations in Monuments et Memoires Fondation Eugen Pinot 1901. The rediscovery of the Cups at the Louvre in late 1990 has allowed Kuttner to examine them directly. . 0520067738 . University of California Press hardcover‎

‎CURSE TABLETS AND BINDING SPELLS FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD‎

‎Oxford University Press. 1992. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has creasing along upper edge of DJ.; In the ancient Greco-Roman world it was common practice to curse or bind an enemy or rival by writing an incantation on a tablet and dedicating it to a god or spirit. These curses or binding spells commonly called defixiones were intended to bring other people under the power and control of those who commissioned them. More than a thousand such texts written between the 5th Century B. C. E. And the 5th Century C. E. have been discovered from North Africa to England and from Syria to Spain. Extending into every aspect of ancient life--athletic and theatrical competitions judicial proceedings love affairs business rivalries and the recovery of stolen property--they shed light on a new dimension of classical study previously inaccessible. Here for the first time these texts have been translated into English with a substantial translator's introduction revealing the cultural social and historical context for the texts.; 296 pages . 0195062264 .

‎THE ANGER OF ACHILLES; Menis in Greek Epic‎

‎Cornell University Press. 1996. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. Faint foxing to textblock. Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Myth and Poetics; 219 pages; Leonard Muellner's goal is to restore the Greek word for the anger of Achilles mênis to its social mythical and poetic contexts. His point of departure is the anthropology of emotions. He believes that notions of anger vary between cultures and that the particular meaning of a word such as mênis needs to emerge from a close study of Greek epic. Mênis means more than an individual's emotional response. On the basis of the epic exemplifications of the word Muellner defines the term as a cosmic sanction against behavior that violates the most basic rules of human society. To understand the way mênis functions Mueller stresses both the power and the danger that accrue to a person who violates such rules. Transgressive behavior has both a creative and a destructive aspect. . 0801432308 . Cornell University Press hardcover‎
