‎ROMAN OSTIA‎

‎Oxford University Press. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 1960. First Edition. Hardcover. Rear inner hinge cracked. Dampstaining to rear board to upper edges of some pages. Scholar's name to inner cover Mark Possanza. DJ has some tears and staining. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 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. ; 1.54 x 9.51 x 6.45 Inches; 598 pages .

‎THE ROMAN WORLD OF CICERO'S DE ORATORE‎

‎Oxford University Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 0199263159 . Digitally reprinted; 364 pages; The Roman World of Cicero's De Oratore aims to provide an accessible study of Cicero's first and fullest dialogue on the ideal orator-statesman. It illustrates the dialogue's achievement as a reflection of a civilized way of life and a brilliantly constructed literary unity and considers the contribution made by Cicero's recommendations to the development of rhetoric and higher education at Rome. Because Cicero deliberately set his extended conversation in the generation of his childhood teachers a study of the dialogue in its historical setting can show how the political and cultural life of this earlier period differed from Cicero's personal experience of the collapse of senatorial government when the overwhelming power of the "first triumvirate" forced him into political silence in the last decade of the republic. After an introductory chapter reviewing Cicero's position on return from exile chapters include a comparative study of the careers of M. Antonius and L. Licinius Crassus protagonists of the dialogue a discussion of Cicero's response to Plato's criticisms of rhetoric in the Gorgias and Phaedrus and his debt to Aristotle's Rhetoric analysis of the dialogue's treatment of Roman civil law existing Latin literature and historical writing Strabo's survey of the sources and application of humor political eloquence in senate and contio theories of diction and style and the techniques of oral delivery. An epilogue looks briefly at Cicero's De re publica and Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus as reflections on the transformation of oratory and free if oligarchic republican government by debate to meet the context of the new autocracy. .

‎THE THEATER OF PLAUTUS Playing to the Audience‎

‎University of Texas Press. Near Fine. 1998. Paperback. 0292752172 . Very faint shelfwear. ; The relationship between actors and spectators has been of perennial interest to playwrights. The Roman playwright Plautus ca. 200 BCE was particularly adept at manipulating this relationship. Plautus allowed his actors to acknowledge freely the illusion in which they were taking part to elicit laughter through humorous asides and monologues and simultaneously to flatter and tease the spectators. These metatheatrical techniques are the focus of Timothy J. Moore's innovative study of the comedies of Plautus. The first part of the book examines Plautus' techniques in detail while the second part explores how he used them in the plays Pseudolus Amphitruo Curculio Truculentus Casina and Captivi. Moore shows that Plautus employed these dramatic devices not only to entertain his audience but also to satirize aspects of Roman society such as shady business practices and extravagant spending on prostitutes and to challenge his spectators' preconceptions about such issues as marriage and slavery. These findings forge new links between Roman comedy and the social and historical context of its performance. ; 275 pages . University of Texas Press paperback‎

Minor creasing to front wrap. ; Centering on the examination of the social and legal context of adultery homosexuality impiety and the public-private dichotomy in Athenian society this book attempts to examine the problems of social control and the regulation of sexuality in a way that will be of interest to a broad readership. It uses a comparative approach to show how the examination of such issues can deepen our understanding of classical Athens particularly in regard to the role of law in society. Further it argues that this historical investigation can in turn enrich our general appreciation of the relation of social and legal norms and the roles they play in regulating complex social practices such as those associated with sexuality morals and the family. This illuminating book develops a view of classical Athenian society that emphasizes the study of social control as the dynamic interplay of legal and social norms within the context of ideology and practice. ; 0.87 x 9.33 x 6.22 Inches; 271 pages .

Professor Rusten aims to assist students at all levels in learning to read Thucydides. The text in Greek is supported by a valuable introduction and commentary in English.

The introduction surveys biographical interpretations of the text suggests a new approach to fictive elements in the speeches and sketches the main features of Thucydidean style. .

Minor shelfwear. ; Attempts to present a series of Stoic philosophical ideas in some detail in order to give a clearer picture of what Stoic philosophy is about and encourage the view that the Stoics were serious philosophers. ; 310 pages; Literature on the Stoa has recently concentrated on historical accounts of the development of the school and on Stoicism as a social movement. Professor Rist’s approach is to examine in detail a series of philosophical problems discussed by leading members of the Stoic school. He is not concerned with social history or with the influence of Stoicism on popular beliefs in the Ancient world but with such questions as the relation between Stoicism and the thought of Aristotle the meaning and purpose of such Stoic paradoxes as ‘all sins are equal’ and the philosophical interrelation of Stoic physics and ethics. There are chapters on aspects of Stoic logic and on the thought of particular thinkers such as Panaetius and Posidonius but ethical problems occupy the centre of the stage. .

‎Cambridge University Press. Good. 1985. Softcover. 0521316529 . Pen markings to margins of some pages. ; 196 pages; In writing this book on the plays of New Comedy the author's aim is to fill a gap in the existing literature by concentrating on what one might look for in watching and reading these plays and why such an exercise might be pleasurable. The social comedy of Menander Plautus and Terence provided a style of comic drama which was to prove the root of all subsequent western comedy. Dr Hunter gives a literary account of this drama placing it in its ancient context and then ranging over a number of specific topics and themes: the dramatic craft of the poets their exploration of how to give variety to stereotyped plots and characters the presentation of women the use of language and themes from tragedy the place of moralising and philosophy.
