‎SELECTED PAPERS Studies in Greek and Roman History and Historiography‎

‎Corners are bumped. Top of spine bumped. Small black 'J' stamped to titlepage. ; This volume contains a selection of the more important and influential of Professor F. W. Walbank's occasional papers. Published over a period of fifty years, they cover a wide range of classical subjects. Three deal with the role of nationality in the Greco-Roman world and with the constitutional character of Greek federal states. Others are concerned with problems of third- and second-century Roman history. Eight papers treat the antecedents of so-called 'tragic history', speeches in ancient historians, and several aspects of Polybius' work. Finally, the selection includes Professor Walbank's detailed discussion of the chronology of Ptolemy IV's death and the accession of Ptolemy Epiphanes. A full bibliography of the author's publications concludes the volume. ; 400 pages‎

‎THESEUS AND ATHENS‎

‎Review of book tipped in. Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works, Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures, exploring the contradictions between the archaic, primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider, flouting accepted standards of behavior, while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals, is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides, Euripides, and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues, flaws, and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators, the people of Athens.‎

‎HOUSES AND SOCIETY IN POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM‎

‎Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Underlining in pen to pages. Small stain to top of front panel of DJ. A few scratches to back panel of DJ . ; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture, he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private, family and outsiders, work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures, Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor, man and woman, master and slave? What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form? How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure? How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers? Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses, Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy, and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman." ; 244 pages‎

‎SUETONIUS The Scholar and His Caesars‎

‎Ex-library copy with usual stamps and traces of removed pocket (to ffep). No call numbers to spine. ; Seutonius, a Roman historian, was the author of "The Lives of the Caesars". This biography sets the historian's career and his method of dealing with his subject matter in the context of Roman society in the early Empire, and draws a picture of the coherence of Suetonius's life, appointments, scholarship and literary activities. Seutonius is presented as a man of learning, rather than as a failed narrative historian. This portrait takes account of evidence concerning his life and seeks to clarify the character of "The Lives of the Caesars" as a description of emperors and Roman imperial society by a scholarly biographer who himself was in the service of a scholarly Caesar; Classical Life and Letters; 216 pages‎

‎THE ROMAN NOVEL The Satyricon of Petronius and the Metamorphoses of Apuleius‎

‎Former owner's name to inner cover. DJ has edgewear with chipping and small tears. Small stain to DJ spine. DJ is price-clipped. ; The Satyricon of Petronius and the Metamorphoses (or Golden Ass) of Apuleius are the only novels written at Rome before A. D. 200 to have survived. The genre is the comic romance, the literature of relaxation in the ancient world. In this book the author defines the genre and sets it in the context of other forms of fiction then being written, demonstrating that both Petronius and Apuleius introduced important innovations into the traditional comic romance. He then goes on to provide a critical analysis of the Satyricon, with a separate chapter on Trimalchio’s feast, the central and most richly comic episode of the book. The Golden Ass is similarly studied, again with special analysis of its centrepiece, the story of Cupid and Psyche. The final chapter assesses the later influence of the two novels on the main stream of European picaresque fiction. ; 0.87 x 8.86 x 5.79 Inches; 286 pages‎
