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 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. .

HELLENISTIC HISTORY AND CULTURE
University of California Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0520203259 . Top of spine is lightly bumped. Back corner of wraps is creased. ; Hellenistic Culture & Society No 9; 0.9 x 8.8 x 6 Inches; 293 pages; In a 1988 conference American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age. A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western Greco-Roman tradition and Nubians Bactrians and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture. History like Herakleitos' river never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas--they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age. .

Themistocles favored the expansion of the navy to meet the Persian threat and persuaded the Athenians to spend the surplus generated by their silver mines on building new ships - the Athenian navy grew from 70 to 200 ships. Despite the importance of this enigmatic figure in Greek history our knowledge still largely comes from the ancient accounts of Herodotus Thucydides and Plutarch. Podlecki provides the first modern comprehensive assessment of Themistocles based on literary and archaeological evidence. . Mcgill-Queen's University Press hardcover

Mattern Susan P.
ROME AND THE ENEMY Imperial Strategy in the Principate
University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0520211669 . Former owner's name on ffep. Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear. ; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 277 pages; How did the Romans build and maintain one of the most powerful and stable empires in the history of the world This illuminating book draws on the literature especially the historiography composed by the members of the elite who conducted Roman foreign affairs. From this evidence Susan P. Mattern reevaluates the roots motivations and goals of Roman imperial foreign policy especially as that policy related to warfare. In a major reinterpretation of the sources Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of national honor fierce competition for status and revenge drove Roman foreign policy and though different from the highly rationalizing strategies often attributed to the Romans dictated patterns of response that remained consistent over centuries. Mattern reconstructs the world view of the Roman decision-makers the emperors and the elite from which they drew their advisers. She discusses Roman conceptions of geography strategy economics and the influence of traditional Roman values on the conduct of military campaigns. She shows that these leaders were more strongly influenced by a traditional stereotyped perception of the enemy and a drive to avenge insults to their national honor than by concepts of defensible borders. In fact the desire to enforce an image of Roman power was a major policy goal behind many of their most brutal and aggressive campaigns. Rome and the Enemy provides a fascinating look into the Roman mind in addition to a compelling re-examination of Roman conceptions of warfare and national honor. The resulting picture creates a new understanding of Rome's long mastery of the Mediterranean world. . University of California Press hardcover

Burnett Anne Pippin
REVENGE IN ATTIC AND LATER TRAGEDY
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0520210964 . Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Sather Classical Lectures; 1.12 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 384 pages; Modern readings of ancient Athenian drama tend to view it as a presentation of social or moral problems as if ancient drama showed the same realism seen on the present-day stage. Such views are belied by the plays themselves in which supremely violent actions occur in a legendary time and place distinct both from reality and from the ethics of ordinary life. Offering fresh readings of Attic tragedy Anne Pippin Burnett urges readers to peel away twentieth-century attitudes toward vengeance and reconsider the revenge tragedies of ancient Athens in their own context. After a consideration of how our view of Elizabethan drama has obscured an accurate view of the ancient tragedies Burnett reviews early Greek notions of vengeance as expressed in the Odyssey Heracles' tales Pindar's odes Attic judicial processes and the legend of Harmodius and Aristogeiton. Then setting aside post-Platonic and Judeo-Christian notions of criminality she provides new interpretations of all the Attic tragedies in which revenge is a central theme: Aeschylus' Libation Bearers Sophocles' Ajax Electra and Tereus and Euripides' Children of Heracles Hecuba Medea Electra and Orestes. Burnett shows that for the ancients revenge meant a redress of imbalances in both human and divine worlds achieved through human actions. The vengeful heroines thus appear in a new light. Electra Hecuba Medea and others cease to be the picture of depravity in dramas that are grotesque and sensational and are instead representative human figures who respond with grandeur to the outsize demands of necessity and supernatural powers. .

O'Regan Daphne
RHETORIC COMEDY AND THE VIOLENCE OF LANGUAGE IN ARISTOPHANES' CLOUDS
Oxford University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0195070178 . Very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 0.87 x 9.57 x 6.41 Inches; 224 pages; This is an intelligent and unusually thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan focuses on logos or the power of argument and its effects and on the self-awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed toward an audience made resistant by devotion to the body. Within and without the play logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature and desire. The argument conveys much insight into fifth-century thought and the play's workings the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy and reminds the reader that this is a comic logos--explored in the comic mode and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds. . Oxford University Press hardcover
