IMPERIAL IDEOLOGY AND PROVINCIAL LOYALTY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
University of California Press. 2000. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. One small chip to DJ else Fine.; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 1.57 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world it did not. Rather its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question Why did the Roman empire fall Rather he asks Why did the empire last so long Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified. This consensus was itself the product of a complex conversation between the central government and its far-flung peripheries. Ando investigates the mechanisms that sustained this conversation explores its contribution to the legitimation of Roman power and reveals as its product the provincial absorption of the forms and content of Roman political and legal discourse. Throughout his sophisticated and subtle reading is informed by current thinking on social formation by theorists such as Max Weber Jrgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu. . 0520220676 .

FIRST-PERSON FICTIONS; Pindar's Poetic 'I'
Oxford Clarendon Press. 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. DJ has very minor shelfwear else Fine.; 240 pages; This collection of essays written over a period of almost thirty years deals with one problem: who is the 'I' in the odes of the most celebrated ancient Greek poet Pindar Since antiquity the complex and allusive language of the first-person statements has provoked many different answers. Professor Lefkowitz describes the function and nature of Pindar's 'I'-statements and proposes a controversial solution that would cause some histories of Greek literature to be rewritten. Rather than accept the view that the identity of the speaker could be subject to instant and unannounced change she proposes that the voice of the victory odes is the poet himself in his most professional persona. Professor Lefkowitz also refutes the traditional belief that the odes were sung by a chorus. She shows that in most if not all cases they were sung as solos and that Pindar was continuing the tradition established by the Homeric bards. . 0198146868 . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

CICEROS ROSCIANA AMERINA; Im Prosarhythmus Rekonstruiert
Franz Steiner Verlag. 2011. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Bump to top corner of front board. Very light shelfwear. Else Fine.; Palingenesia 99; 178 pages; German text. Der antike Prosarhythmus ist nie bevorzugter Forschungsgegenstand der Philologie gewesen ruckte allerdings immer wieder einmal durch neue Untersuchungen ins Blickfeld. Besonders die Klauselforschung wurde vorherrschend vor allem durch Th. Zielinskis Studie aUber das Clauselgesetz in Ciceros Reden Leipzig 1909. Einen neuen Massstab setzte dann jedoch der Band von W. Schmid aUber die klassische Theorie und Praxis des antiken Prosarhythmus Wiesbaden 1959. Statt der eingeengten Sicht auf die Satzschlusse eruierte er ein geschlossenes System rhythmischer Gesetzmassigkeiten als das entscheidende Kriterium das sich aus antiken Zeugnissen vor allem bei Cicero und Aristoteles ergibt. Fur Cicero nimmt der Rhythmus eine so zentrale Stellung ein dass er in dessen Beherrschung den Kulminationspunkt seiner rednerischen Fahigkeit sah. Deshalb wird hier im Anschluss an W. Schmid ein neuer Versuch unternommen diese Rhythmisierung in Ciceros Rede fur Sextus Roscius aus Ameria sichtbar zu machen. Der Text ist nach rhythmischen Sprecheinheiten gegliedert und markiert damit sozusagen wo Cicero Atempausen gemacht hat und was er betonen wollte. Es zeigt sich dadurch in aller Deutlichkeit wie kunstvoll diese Rede gestaltet ist. Durch das neue Druckbild kann sie nun wie eine aPartitur gelesen werden. . 3515098682 .

READING SIN IN THE WORLD; The Hamartigenia of Prudentius and the Vocation of the Responsible Reader
Cambridge University Press. 2011. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Very light shelfwear to book and DJ else Fine.; 294 pages; Prudentius is one of the major Latin poets of antiquity. A Christian living and writing in Spain in the late fourth and early fifth centuries he was thoroughly imbued with the whole tradition of Latin poetry. The Hamartigenia is a didactic poem exploring the origins of evil and how it operates in the world. It is full of echoes and reworkings of earlier poems by Lucretius Virgil and others but is also a serious contribution to this important theological issue which was much discussed in Church circles of the day.

ALBA LONGA HISTOIRE D'UNE LÉGENDE; Recherches Sur L'Archéologie La Religion Les Traditions De L'Ancien Latium
École Française De Rome. 2008. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. 2 volume set. Light bumping to extremities else Fine.; Alba Longa et sa légende demeurent pour la science une énigme : alors qu’elle explore les origines de Rome avec une intensité sans précédent elle ne sait que penser de cette ville introuvable de ce lac débordant de ces forêts ombreuses de ces rois fantômes. Quel rôle jouèrent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale A-t-on eu raison depuis plus de cinq siècles de chercher inlassablement Albe cette cité d’où seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome entre la Ligue latine et la Ville Géographie historique et culturelle sciences de la terre archéologie histoire des religions philologie : le recours à un très large éventail de disciplines aboutit ici à une synthèse d’où le souci de la réflexivité épistémologique n’est jamais absent. Pour comprendre le légendaire albain il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe siècle sont donc restituées dans leur contexte. Au-delà de ce qui a été conservé émerge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus des sites oubliés des textes négligés des rites méconnus et avec eux toute la richesse d’une véritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux l’apport des plus récentes découvertes dans ce Latium préromain dont le massif Albain constituait précisément le centre. C’est là sur le mons Albanus moderne Monte Cavo que les Anciens plaçaient Alba Longa et ses rois ; c’est là aussi qu’ avait lieu une grandiose cérémonie religieuse les Féries Latines délaissées pourtant par la recherche moderne qui n’a su où situer les mystérieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires précis des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concernés donnés à chaque fois avec leur traduction permettent de redonner à ces thèmes toute leur importance et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la première synthèse française sur cet ancien Latium naguère dit primitif objet depuis trois décennies d’un grand mouvement international de recherche. Mémoire ou histoire À cette interrogation aujourd’hui omniprésente ce livre apporte une réponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au débat actuel sur les origines de Rome.; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE. B.E.F.A.R. 365; 988 pages . 2728304122 . École Française De Rome hardcover

Hunter, Virginia J
POLICING ATHENS; Social Control in the Attic Lawsuits 420-320 B. C.
Princeton University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine.; 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

Minor shelfwear to DJ.; 233 pages; Athens was the dominant maritime power in the West from the eighth to fourth centuries BCE. Athenian preeminence insured that its maritime law was accepted throughout the Mediterranean world.

Codified during the Roman period in the Rhodian Sea laws it went on to influence the subsequent development of European commercial and maritime law. Cohen explores the development of Athenian maritime law the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts and the Athenian principles that have endured to the present day. . 0691092273 .
