‎University of Michigan Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472107852 . 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. .
