A few scratches to back panel of DJ . ; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private family and outsiders work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor man and woman master and slave What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman." ; 244 pages .

Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. ; Restoring to Catullus a provocative power that familiarity has tended to dim this book argues that Catullus challenges us to think about the nature of lyric in new ways. Fitzgerald shows how Catullus's poetry reflects the conditions of its own consumption as it explores the terms and possibilities of the poet's license. Reading the poetry in relation to the drama of position played out between poet poem and reader the author produces a fresh interpretation of almost all of Catullus's oeuvre. Running through the book is an analysis of the ideological stakes behind the construction of the author Catullus in twentieth-century scholarship and of the agenda governing the interpreter's position in relation to Catullus. ; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 319 pages .
