‎Routledge. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0415874726 . Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; Routledge Studies in Ancient History Vol. 1; 118 pages; This story of Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy is set within and offers a case study of the political military economic and social crises besetting the late Roman Republic in the era of the "Roman Revolution." The book chronicles the efforts of the defeated radical politician Lucius Sergius Catilina to bring together a group of disaffected Roman nobles and discontented Italian farmers in a conspiracy to overthrow the republican government at Rome and to take control of the Italian peninsula while the proconsul Pompey the Great and the majority of Roman military units were campaigning in the Near East and the success of the conservative optimate consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in uncovering the conspiracy driving Catiline out of Rome and defeating his revolutionary followers in the capital and in Etruria. The narrative reveals the political corruption economic problems and military instability which were leading to the demise of the republican system and the rise of an imperial government in the first century B. C. The author�s comprehensive knowledge of the ancient sources and the modern scholarship relevant to the last century of the republic has allowed him to offer a detailed and definitive account of this important episode in Roman history. In the same seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis through which he enlightened the Roman imperial age of Constantine Dr. Odahl here illuminates the Roman republican era of Cicero. This book is a significant publication in Ciceronian studies and will become the standard account of the Catilinarian Conspiracy. . Routledge hardcover‎

Some wear to top corners of wraps else minor shelfwear. ; Xxix 203pp illustrated. The rich tradition and profound spirituality of Judaism has touched people the world over for thousands of years. With the arrival in the Near East of Alexander the Great and the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE the synagogue came to represent a new era of this powerful religion one which witnessed a greater emphasis on shared religious experience and prayer. In turn the synagogue derived from the Greek meaning an "assembly" has come to mean the Jewish house of worship evolving into a "sacred realm" in which the Torah came to play a central role linking the biblical past with the messianic future. Of course the synagogue has been much more that a house of worship--it served the Jewish people as a place of learning a community center and often as the official seat of Jewish self-government. Indeed it is the institution most closely associated with the development of post-biblical Judaism throughout the ages. Sacred Realm: The Emergence of the Synagogue in the Ancient World offers the first comprehensive history of the architectural and archaeological development of the synagogue from the third century BCE to 700 CE. Telling the story of over one hundred ancient synagogues throughout the world and their place in the history of Judaism and of Western civilization this book provides a fascinating representation of the cultural intellectual and artistic achievements of three thousand years of Jewish experience. Informative essays detail every aspect of the ancient synagogue while beautiful illustrations and maps take the reader to the actual historic site. ; 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall; 203 pages .
