CITY AND COUNTRY IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
Routledge. 1991. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholars' bookplate to ffep Slater & Dunbabin. Light edgewear to DJ.; Leicester-Nottingham Studies in Ancient Society 2; 324 pages; The ancient Greco-Roman world was a world full of cities: not of cities in the modern sense of massive conglomerations but in a distinctive sense of communities in which countryside was dominated by urban centre. Interest in the special relationship of town and country in the ancient world goes back to Max Weber and beyond. This volume of papers by influential archaeologists and historians seeks to bring together the two disciplines in exploring the city-country relationship and its impact on social political economic and cultural conditions in classical antiquity. Topics include the rise of the polis in ancient Greece the economic and cultural role of city elites in Athens central Italy and Asia Minor and the role of taxation in subordinating town to country. . 0415019745 .

Hunter, Virginia J
POLICING ATHENS; Social Control in the Attic Lawsuits 420-320 B. C.
Princeton University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Very minor shelfwear to book else fine. DJ flap creased.; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 324 pages; From household gossip to public beatings this social history explores the many channels through which Athenians maintained public order. Virginia Hunter draws mostly on Attic court proceedings which allowed for a wide range of evidence including common rumors about a defendant's character and testimony obtained under torture of slaves against their masters. She describes Athenian "policing" as a form of social control that took place across a range of private and public levels. Not only does policing appear to have been a collective enterprise but its methods were embedded in a variety of social institutions resulting in the blurring of the line between state and society. Hunter's inquiry into topics such as household authority disputes among kin the presence of slaves in the house gossip in the home and neighborhood and forms of public punishment reveals a continuum extending from self-regulation among kin to punitive actions enforced by the state. Recognizing the bias of legal documents toward the wealthy Hunter concentrates on exposing the voices of the less powerful and less privileged members of society including women and slaves. In so doing she is among the first to address systematically such important issues as the authority of women self-help and corporal punishment. . 0691032688 . Princeton University Press hardcover

Steiner, Deborah Tarn
IMAGES IN MIND; Statues in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature and Thought
Princeton University Press. 2001. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. Small tears to head of spine. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve.; In archaic and classical Greece statues played a constant role in people's religious political economic aesthetic and mental lives. Evidence of many kinds demonstrates that ancient Greeks thought about--and interacted with--statues in ways very different from our own. This book recovers ancient thinking about statues by approaching them through contemporary literary sources. It not only shows that ancient viewers conceived of images as more operative than aesthetic but additionally reveals how poets and philosophers found in sculpture a practice ''good to think with.'

THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Cambridge University Press. 1992. Softcover. Very Good. Scholar's initial to inner cover Jenifer Neils.; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages . 0521421640 .

THE IMAGERY OF THE ATHENIAN SYMPOSIUM
Cambridge University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. Minor pencil underlining and notes by Jenifer Neils to a few pages. Else book has very minor shelfwear.; The late sixth and early fifth centuries BC were a dynamic time in the history of the symposium and hundreds of vase paintings from this period show people engaged in sympotic activities. Most scholars have understood these images as illustrations of contemporary Athenian practices but such an interpretation cannot account for the enormous variety of settings costumes and participants in the images nor is it easily reconciled with recent methodological developments in the study of vase painting. Noting the close link between the symposium and the polis in ancient thought this book approaches the images not as documents of contemporary sympotic practice but as vehicles for exploring what it meant to be a Greek community. It argues that many of the images depict imagined ancestral symposia and that they thus shed new light on how the Athenians envisioned the history of the symposium and its importance to their city.; 10.1 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 233 pages . 1107011027 .

Competitive delights: the social effects of the expanded programme of contests in post-Kleisthenic Athens Nick Fisher Part III: Competition in Rome: 8. Lotteries and elections: containing elite competition in Venice and Rome Henrik Mouritsen 9. Keeping up with the Joneses: competitive display within the Roman villa landscape Hannah Platts 10. Competitiveness and anti-competitiveness in Philostratus’ Lives of the Sophists Jason Konig; 320 pages; Ancient peoples like modern spent much of their lives engaged in and thinking about competitions: both organised competitions with rules audiences and winners such as Olympic and gladiatorial games and informal indefinite often violent competition for fundamental goals such as power wealth and honour. The varied papers in this book form a case for viewing competition for superiority as a major force in ancient history including the earliest human societies and the Assyrian and Aztec empires. Papers on Greek history explore the idea of competitiveness as peculiarly Greek the intense and complex quarrel at the heart of Homers Iliad and the importance of formal competitions in the creation of new political and social identities in archaic Sicyon and classical Athens. Papers on the Roman world shed fresh light on Republican elections through a telling parallel from renaissance Venice on modes of competitive display of wealth and power evident in elite villas in Italy in the imperial period and on the ambiguities in the competitive self-representations of athletes sophists and emperors. . 1905125488 .

Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831 Cohen here engages with but departs from a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this body of literature. In this study she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts first as a Greek painting of the fourth century B.C. and then as a Roman mosaic of ca. 100 B.C. . 0521563399 .

POWER PAIDEIA & PYTHAGOREANISM; Greek Identity Conceptions of the Relationship between Philosophers and Monarchs and Political Ideas in Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius
J. C. Gieben. 1995. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Still sealed in plastic; Dutch Monographs on Ancient History and Archaeology; 10.25 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 286 pages; The Athenian sophist Philostratus completed a romanticised biography of Apollonius of Tyana in the second or third decade of the third century A. D. One of the most striking aspects of the presentation of this firstcentury Pythagorean sage and miracleworker in the Vita Apollonii VA is his role as ‘politically active philosopher’. Not only does the protagonist of the VA regularly intervene in situa-tions of conflict in Greek cities and instruct their citi-zens on how they ought to live together but he also appears in contact with Parthian and Indian kings and Roman emperors. The present study deals with this promi-nent facet of Philostratus’ portrait of the Tyanean sage. There are three main issues. The first is the question of the extent to which the Apollonius tradition provided support for the image of the contacts of the protagonist of the VA with cities and monarchs. The second is consideration of how the author dealt with and elaborated these elements in his source material. The third is the question of to what extent the protagonist of the VA may be regarded as a spokesman for the explicit political views of Philostratus. In other words the aim is to analyse the image of the protagonist of the VA as a ‘politically active philosopher’ as the result of the interaction between the traditions associated with a sage and miracleworker who was regarded as a representative of Pythagorean wisdom on the one hand and the paideia cultural baggage and mentality of a sophist on the other. . 905063236X .
