DJ in mylar. ; 9.5 x 1.25 x 6.5 Inches; 272 pages; <div>Studies of Roman politics have traditionally emphasized individual personalities or groups of personalities and have explained political behavior in terms of contests for individual power or group power. By contrast Roberta Stewart focuses on being the religious institution of the "allotment" of duties among elected officials as a primary control on Roman politics. She examines in detail the procedure of allotment the roles of popular election and allotment in defining public authority and duty and the relationship between the Roman Senate and elected officials. Allotment is seen to reflect Republican ideology about the divine sanction of Roman leadership military enterprise and empire. <br></div><div>Allotment is examined in particular historical contexts and the successive formations of public office in 444 367 and 242 b. C. E. Are analyzed as a series of political solutions in an evolving cultural context. The discussion documents the ritual definition of allotments and the historical development of distinctive features of Republican political office: the equal authority of colleagues collegiality the individual authority and accountability for an allotted function provincia the procedural alternative to allotment comparatio and the hierarchy of offices with imperium the consuls and praetors. Public Office in Early Rome will be of great interest for scholars and students of Roman religion government and history. Roberta Stewart is Associate Professor of Classics Dartmouth College. .

‎Princeton University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0691048894 . DJ in mylar. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 243 pages; Cities throughout the Roman Empire flourished during the reign of Hadrian A. D. 117-138 a phenomenon that not only strengthened and legitimized Roman dominion over its possessions but also revealed Hadrian as a masterful negotiator of power relationships. In this comprehensive investigation into the vibrant urban life that existed under Hadrian's rule Mary T. Boatwright focuses on the emperor's direct interactions with Rome's cities exploring the many benefactions for which he was celebrated on coins and in literary works and inscriptions. Although such evidence is often as imprecise as it is laudatory its collective analysis undertaken for the first time together with all other related material reveals that over 130 cities received at least one benefaction directly from Hadrian. The benefactions mediated by members of the empire's municipal elite touched all aspects of urban life they included imperial patronage of temples and hero tombs engineering projects promotion of athletic and cultural competitions settlement of boundary disputes and remission of taxes. .

In spite of being neglected in the modern era this important age of philosophical thought is now undergoing a revival of interest. Mark Morford's lively survey makes these recent scholarly developments accessible to a wide audience examining the writings and ideas of both famous and lesser known figures - from Cato the Censor in 155 BCE to Marcus Aurelius in 180 CE. Based around extensive and fully translated quotations from the philosophical texts of the era full consideration is given throughout to historical political and cultural context. .

‎TRIALS OF CHARACTER The Eloquence of Ciceronian Ethos‎

‎The University of North Carolina Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0807817597 . Very light bump to 1 corner. Else book is fine. Sticker residue to front panel of DJ. ; 0.88 x 9.48 x 6.38 Inches; 224 pages; By its very nature the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. In this book James May explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. May discusses the importance of ethos not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social political and judicial milieu of ancient Rome and then applies his insights to the oratory of Cicero. Ciceronian ethos was a complex blend of Roman tradition Cicero's own personality and selected features of Greek and Roman oratory. More than any other ancient literary genre oratory dealt with constantly changing circumstances with a wide variety of rhetorical challenges. An orator's success or failure as well as the artistic quality of his orations was largely the direct result of his responses to these circumstances and challenges. Acutely aware of his audience and its cultural heritage and steeped in the rhetorical traditions of his predecessors Cicero employed rhetorical ethos with uncanny success. May analyzes individual speeches from four different periods of Cicero's career tracing changes in the way Cicero depicted character both his own and others' as a source of persuasion changes intimately connected with the vicissitudes of Cicero's career and personal life. He shows that ethos played a major role in almost every Ciceronian speech that Cicero's audiences were conditioned by common beliefs about character and finally that Cicero's rhetorical ethos became a major source for persuasion in his oratory. .
