Very light bumping to bottom corners of book and top of spine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 276 pages; The first three chapters of this book elucidate the scholastic goals of both classical cultures during the Roman Imperial period. Apuleius' works share the stage in these chapters with representatives of the second-century Greek cultural paradigm. They define patterns of discourse and fit selected examples of analogous Apuleian strategies into the broader cultural framework. Subsequent chapters focus closely on the complete Apuleian corpus under the general headings of Apuleius in the roles of orator philosopher and novelist. Two of Apuleius' philosophical works and his novel the Golden Ass provide an unparalleled opportunity to analyze the methods of translation and adaptation employed by the major Latin writer of the second half of the second century. ; Signed by Author .

‎Archaeopress. Fine. 2008. Softcover. 1407302744 . British Archaeological Reports B. A. R. British Series 459; 118 pages; The purpose of this book is to put the achievements of Agricolas navy apparently understated by Tacitus in their true perspective with the proposition that the Roman fleet reached the furthest limit of the known world Thule or Mainland Shetland where it located a convenient anchorage possibly in Lerwick harbour. To support this theory firstly the identification of Thule as Shetland during the classical period from the time of Pytheas onwards is investigated through collation of geographical sources secondly the earliest manuscript of Tacitus Agricola comes under closer scrutiny at the relevant points than ever before and finally contemporary literature is reassessed to determine the significance of Caledonia and Thule in the Flavian propaganda machine and to suggest the first Roman presence in the Shetland Islands. .

Slight damage to inner cover from removed library markings. Former owner's name and place of purchase on ffep. Spine is discolored where numbers were removed. ; Aspects of Greek and Roman Life; 342 pages; In this well-researched and coherent introduction to family life in classical Greece Mr Lacey explains the structure of the family the social and economic pressures that affected it and the complicated legal measures that were devised to regulate and protect it. Even though the family has always been a fundamental institution in Greek society this is the first study in English devoted to it. This book deals in detail with the family in the archaic and classical ages -- the great era of the city-states. It was during this period that a close and complex relationship existed between the family and the city-state. Each city-state was in fact the sum total of the households contained in it and each household resembled a miniature kingdom with its own gods and lands and the head of the house exercised almost royal powers over his children. So powerful and close-knit was the family group that it was regarded by politicians and philosophers including Plato and Aristotle as damaging to their ideals of personal detachment and public service and even as a menace to the unity of the state. Mr Lacey supports his views of family life by quoting and discussing relevant writings of the Greek philosophers and by citing contemporary literature especially the comedies. He analyzes also the valuable evidence supplied by inscriptions vase paintings sculpture terracottas and coins many of which are presented in black-and-white photographs. From ancient times until today the most pervasive force in Greek life has been the family. This study of its influence in classical Greece makes possible a better understanding of greek history literature and art. . Cornell University Press hardcover‎
