Clodius and Milo: more equals than opposites; A comparison of Saturninus and Glaucia Drusus and Sulpicius Clodius and Milo. ; 221 pages; The reputations of a great many figures in history have been established by chance and opportunity: a single victory on the battlefield a political triumph in domestic affairs. This statement is equally applicable for that century between 146 and 31 BC which today is usually designated the Late Roman Republic. On the basis of often rather meagre facts reputations have been constructed and as a result whole careers became mythologised by later writers even in antiquity. The main aim of this volume is to question certain reputations in order to place into a more realistic historical context the subjects under discussion. . Unisa Press paperback

Bruce I. A. F.
AN HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ON THE HELLENICA OXYRHYNCHIA
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1967. Hardcover. 0521043522 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. DJ is price-clipped. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 190 pages; Commentaries on the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia an anonymous history of events in the Greek world in the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC have usually dealt almost entirely with problems of the text. In this book Dr Bruce has written an historical commentary basing his work on both the London and Florence papyri which between them provide all the surviving fragments of the text. Dr Bruce begins with a brief description of the two papyri. He then discusses the Oxyrhynchus historian's style and method - his sources chronology bias interest in causation etc. The introduction ends with a r�sum� of the numerous theories of the author's identity Dr Bruce favours either Cratippus or an author not known to us by name at all. The main part of the commentary is arranged in the form of notes on the sections of the Greek text with occasional detailed notes on particular words or phrases. There are appendices on the Battle of Sardis and the Constitution of Boeotia; and the book concludes with a full biography. Dr Bruce's book is a complete guide available for further historical study of the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Rowe Greg
PRINCES AND POLITICAL CULTURES The New Tiberian Senatorial Decrees
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0472112309 . 208 pages; In 29 B. C. Augustus celebrated a triple triumph flanked by his nephew Marcellus and his stepson Tiberius. This event is the first attested example of the systematic promotion of young men as potential imperial successors. This practice enabled Augustus to establish the rule not of one man but of a dynastic house with a collective identity. This study built around the senate's funeral honors for Germanicus the Tabula Siarensis and its proceedings against his alleged murderer the senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre examines Augustus's transformation of the Roman state to a dynastic monarchy. Covering the period from the reign of Augustus to Claudius's installation Rowe demonstrates how dynastic monarchy turned citizens into subjects. Stepping back from personalities and politics to consider institutions and the values underpinning them Rowe examines six key constituencies of the new order: the Roman senate the equestrian order the urban plebs colonies Greek cities and the legions. Focusing on each group's deliberative and expressive institutions he paints a coherent picture of early imperial culture revealing the transition from formal to informal decision making and individual ascendancy over collective institutions. Rowe uses these findings to explain ostensible loyalism and the uniformity of imperial ideology. Texts translations and discussions of the major inscriptions of the period�both Greek and Latin�are provided. . University of Michigan Press hardcover

POPE HOMER AND MANLINESS Some Aspects of Eighteenth-Century Classical Learning
Routledge. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0415056004 . 240 pages; The conflict between masculine and feminine values in 18th century classical learning is problematic and controversial. In this book Pope's Homer becomes a richly complex focus for new gendered explorations into the nature of the masculine "rule". As the subject of this gendered reading Pope's Homer emerges as the fissured relic of a struggle to preserve masculine dignity from the encroachments of feminine characters and values within the text and of female readers and critics. This text brings a fresh viewpoint and much detailed research on classical and early modern literature to bear on gender studies' central issues revealing that "masculinity" must here be seen not as an absolute standard but as the product of unceasing conflict between competing and unstable models. .

Vickers Michael J.
PERICLES ON STAGE Political Comedy in Aristophanes' Early Plays
University of Texas Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0292787278 . Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 255 pages; Since the eighteenth century classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays in a way that reveals the principal characters to be based in large part on Pericles and his ward Alcibiades. According to Vickers the plays of Aristophanes--far from being nonpolitical--actually allow us to gauge the reaction of the Athenian public to the events that followed Pericles' death in 429 B.C. to the struggle for the political succession and to the problems presented by Alcibiades' emergence as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This view of Aristophanes reaffirms the central role of allegory in his work and challenges all students of ancient Greece to rethink long-held assumptions about this important playwright. .

THE RENEWAL OF EPIC Responses to Homer in the Argonautica of Apollonius
Brill Academic Publishers. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 9004103864 . Signed by author on ffep "To Philip d. D. Virginia" ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 335 pages; The Renewal of Epic considers various modes of allusion to Homer in the Argonautica of Apollonius dealing not only with similarities in phraseology but also with thematic and structural resemblances. After an introduction two chapters discuss Apollonian techniques in treating repeated Homeric scenes: sacrifice shipwreck boxing and battle. The central section of the work considers the multiple links between the adventures of the Argonauts and Odysseus' wanderings. A final chapter explores Apollonius' innovative treatment of the divine both generally and in particular scenes. The work shows convincingly that the Argonautica reproduces many of the patterns which have been found in the Iliad and Odyssey. It demonstrates the presence of allusion at every level in the poem linking it to its predecesors and acting as an essential interpretative aid to the reader. . Brill Academic Publishers hardcover
