ROMAN OSTIA
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1977. Second Edition. Hardcover. 0198148100 . Light discoloration to DJ spine. Edgewear to DJ top edge with chipping and a few small tears to extremities. One small closed tear to DJ along bottom edge. Minor bumping to head of spine and one top corner. Former owner's name on ffep. ; Ostia an ancient town on the coast facing the Tyrrhenian Sea in Latium Italy was the harbour of ancient Rome and perhaps its first colonia. Located at the mouth of the River Tiber Ostia was said to have been founded by Ancus Marcius one of the kings of Rome in the 7th century BC. However the most ancient archaeological remains so far discovered are no earlier than the 4th century BC and the most ancient buildings currently visible are from the 3rd century BC notably the Castrum military camp and of a slightly later date the Capitolium temple of Jupiter Juno and Minerva. The opus quadratum walls of the original castrum at Ostia provide important evidence for the building techniques that were employed in Roman urbanism during the period of the Middle Republic. Although Ostia was probably founded for the sole purpose of military defence � since through the Tiber's mouths armies could eventually reach Rome by water � in time the port became a commercial harbour and a very important one too. Many of the goods that Rome received from its colonies and provinces passed through Ostia. In this role Ostia soon replaced Pozzuoli. ; 1.54 x 9.51 x 6.45 Inches; 722 pages .

Very minor shelfwear. ; 0.75 x 8.75 x 5.75 Inches; 288 pages; In this unusual synthesis of political and socio- economic history Philip Manville demonstrates that citizenship for the Athenians was not merely a legal construct but rather a complex concept that was both an institution and a mode of social behavior. He further shows that it was not static as most scholarship has assumed but rather has slowly evolved over time. The work is also an explanation of the origins and development of the polis. .

DJ has minor rubbing. ; 0.65 x 9.76 x 6.28 Inches; 192 pages; Cities in the ancient world relied on private generosity to provide many basic amenities as well as expecting leading citizens to pay for 'bread and circuses' - free food and public entertainment. This collection of essays by leading scholars from the UK and USA explores the important phenomenon of benefaction and public patronage in Roman Italy. Ranging from the late republican period to the later Roman Empire the contributions cover a wide range of topics including the impact of benefactions and benefactors on the urban development of Roman Italy on cultural and economic activity and on the changing role of games and festivals in Roman society. They also explore the relationship between communities and their benefactors whether these were local notables senators or the emperor himself and examine how the nature of benefaction changed under the Empire. .

THUCYDIDES
Princeton University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1984. Hardcover. 0691035695 . Dustjacket has minor edgewear with one closed tear 1" to top of front panel and one small closed tear to bottom of back panel. DJ has rubbing. ; 266 pages; This full-scale sequential reading of Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War will be invaluable to the specialist and also to those in search of an introduction and companion to the "Histories. " Moving beyond other studies by its focus on the reader's role in giving meaning to the text it reveals Thucydides' use of objectivity not so much as standard for the proper presentation of his subject matter as a method for communicating with his readers and involving them in the complexity and suffering of the Peloponnesian War. W. Robert Connor shows that as Thucydides' themes and ideas are reintroduced and developed the initial reactions of the reader are challenged subverted and eventually made to contribute to a deeper understanding of the war. This book described earlier approaches to the "Histories " including attempts to account for the paradox of the intense emotional power of a work ostensibly so cool and detached. It demonstrates that many features previously thought to be signs of inconsistencies in Thucydides' thought or of different stages of composition are instead parts of the development of the reader's reaction to the war. .

Paul George MacKay & Michael Ierardi eds.
ROMAN COINS AND PUBLIC LIFE UNDER THE EMPIRE E. Togo Salmon Papers II
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0472108751 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 0.72 x 9.48 x 6.2 Inches; 216 pages; Roman coins often shed light on Roman public life and society through the legends portraits and images they bear. The papers collected in this volume were originally presented at the Second E. Togo Salmon Conference on Roman Studies. The eight contributors are specialists in Roman coins or Roman history and in the relations between them. Coins are a unique source of information about the Roman world. In the case of the Roman Empire they were issued by or with the approval of the ruling power. The representations and legends they show therefore present an official view of contemporary affairs. The coins themselves minted for official purposes such as paying the army when studied carefully can help reconstruct official policies. They can also occasionally reveal what monuments now lost may have looked like. It is not infrequent to come across pleas that the ancient historian should make more frequent use of numismatic evidence. These essays make clear that efforts are being made both by numismatists and by historians to bring the two disciplines together. At the same time the papers reveal that the task is by no means a straightforward one. The survival of Roman coins is variable and so attempts to reconstruct the size and distribution of issues calls for skilled and experienced analysis. This collection of papers provides evidence for the kind of deductions that the historian may make from Roman coins as well as the illustrations of the pitfalls that await the unwary. Those interested in Roman history amateur coin collectors and professional numismatists will all find much here to widen their knowledge of the public context of Roman coins. Contributors: William E. Metcalf P. Bruun Barbara Levick R. P. Duncan-Jones Anthony Barrett Duncan Fishwick C. E. King Andrew Burnett. . University of Michigan Press hardcover

EMPERORS AND LAWYERS With a Palingenesia of Third-Century Imperial Rescripts 193-305 AD
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Second Edition. Hardcover. 0198257694 . Minor shelfwear to DJ. Former owner's signature "J. F. Drinkwater" classics professor on ffep. ; Includes a 3.5" floppy. ; 0.9 x 9.4 x 6.3 Inches; 272 pages; This is the second edition of an original and controversial book. It analyses some 2609 legal rulings rescripts given by Roman Emperors between 193 and 305 AD and argues that though issued in the name of emperors they were really both in style and substance the work of professional lawyers. From their style we can detect when one lawyer-draftsman gave way to another we can identify some of the lawyers and we can allot most of the rescripts to their real author. On this basis the author argues that in the third century there was a convention that the rights of citizens would be governed by objective legal standards. The Roman Empire was not a pure autocracy. Updated and in large part rewritten this edition includes on a high-density diskette a reconstruction Palingenesia of the 2609 rescripts. This new and original work of reference will enable scholars to read the texts chronologically and to judge the soundness of the arguments advanced. . Oxford University Press hardcover

Wilson A. J. N.
EMIGRATION FROM ITALY IN THE REPUBLICAN AGE OF ROME
Manchester University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1966. Hardcover. 0719000629 . Ex-library copy with one single institution stamp to title-page and pocket with discard stamp to endpage. Minor fading to spine. ; 208 pages; During the last two centuries of the Roman Republic emigration from Italy to the provinces was widespread and increasing. This book is the first to survey the movement throughout the Empire; the emphasis is on private rather than state-organised settlement. The first part is about the Western Mediterranean provinces whose Romanization began in this period; the second part treats emigration to the Greek East where by contrast the settlers tended to become more and more hellenized. The principal matters considered are the volume of emigration the kinds of communities formed overseas by the emigrants their motives and origins the regions and places settled the fortunes of the settlers in the upheavals of the late Republican period and their relations with the people among whom they lived. .

Birley Anthony
HADRIAN The Restless Emperor
Routledge. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 041516544X . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Roman Imperial Biographies; 1.23 x 9.54 x 6.45 Inches; 399 pages; In Hadrian Anthony R. Birley brilliantly uses new evidence to chronicle the fascinating life of a man who while broken and hated at his death nevertheless left an indelible stamp on the Roman Empire. Birley shows how Hadrian brazenly abandoned his predecessor Trajan's eastern conquests constructed new demarcation lines in Germany North Africa and most famously Hadrian's Wall in Britain to limit the expansion of the Empire. Hadrian portrayed himself as a second Augustus and unlike most Roman emperors acted rather than reacted. He promoted the "Greek Renaissance" extravagantly but his attempt to Hellenize the Jews had disastrous consequences. Birley also explores Hadrian's dramatic personal life including his tragic love affair with the young Antinous whose death in the Nile caused speculation of suicide and even sacrifice. .
