‎ANATOLICA Studies in Strabo‎

‎Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Else very minor shelfwear to book. DJ spine sunned with a bit of sunning to panels. ; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme (1903-89). His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books, The Roman Revolution, which appeared in 1939, and Tacitus (two volumes, 1958) - although he went on to produce many more monographs, and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war, which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara, and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war, Syme had continued to write in these years, in particular 'Strabonia', investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo, a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death, the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work, but what he had written, with almost complete annotation, represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo, at the same time providing rich detail on client kings, Roman generals and emperors, writers and travellers. Above all, he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia. ; 424 pages‎

‎AUTHOR AND AUDIENCE IN LATIN LITERATURE‎

‎Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold) else Book is fine. Very Minor shelfwear to DJ ; The relationship between the author and his audience has received much critical attention from scholars in non-classical disciplines yet the nature of much ancient literature and of its 'publication' meant that audiences in ancient times were more immediate to their authors than in the modern world. This book contains essays by distinguished scholars on the various means by which Latin authors communicated effectively with their audiences. The authors and works covered are Cicero, Catullus, Lucretius, Propertius, Horace's Odes, Virgil's Aeneid, Ovid's Metamorphoses, Senecan tragedy, Persius, Pliny's letters, Tacitus' Annals and medieval love lyric. Contributors have provided detailed analyses of particular passages in order to throw light on the many different ways in which authors catered for their audiences by fulfilling, manipulating and thwarting their expectations; and in an epilogue the editors have drawn together the issues raised by these contributions and have attempted to place them in an appropriate critical context. ; 292 pages‎

‎THE BRONZE TABLES OF IGUVIUM‎

‎Minor shelfwear. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). ; The Iguvine Tables were a series of seven bronze tablets discovered at Iguvium, contemporary Gubbio, in Italy in the year 1444. The earliest tablets were probably written in the 3rd century BC in the native Umbrian alphabet, the latest in the 1st century BC in the Latin alphabet. The tablets contain religious inscriptions that memorialize the acts and rites of the Atiedian Brethren, a group of 12 priests of Jupiter with important municipal functions at Iguvium. They are written in the Umbrian language, one of the Italic languages, a not-too-distant relative of Latin. They shed light on the grammar of this ancient dead language, and also on the religious practices of classical paganism. They appear to be written in an accentual metre, similar to the Saturnian metre that is encountered in the earliest Latin poetry. Includes Grammar, text, translation and extensive commentary. ; Philological Monographs, Number XVII; 333 pages‎

‎"WIR ABER SIND DAMALS UND JETZT IMMER DIE GLEICHEN" Vergangenheitsbezüge in Der Polisübergreifenden Kommunikation Der Klassischen Zeit‎

‎Like new. ; Die Griechen bezogen sich in klassischer Zeit gern und häufig auf ihre Vergangenheit. Wurde jedoch in der Außenpolitik Geschichte als Argument verwendet, so schlug sich diese Strategie selten in den getroffenen Entscheidungen nieder. Um diesem Widerspruch nachzugehen, prüft Maria Osmers mit Hilfe eines kommunikationshistorischen Ansatzes, in welcher Weise und mit welcher Intention sich die Griechen in der Außenpolitik auf Vergangenes bezogen und welche Bedeutung sie den Verweisen zuschrieben. Der gewählte methodische Ansatz ermöglicht es, außenpolitische Kommunikationen in vielen unterschiedlichen Quellengattungen zu lokalisieren. Dabei zeigt sich die Vergangenheit als geeignetes Instrument, um aktuelle Interessen oder Konflikte auszuhandeln. In den aufgerufenen Erzählungen erfahren sich die Beteiligten als Abstammungsgemeinschaft. Gleichzeitig schafft die 'Geschichte' ein Koordinatensystem, in dem weiterführende Verhandlungen stattfinden können. Die Vergangenheit fungiert damit nicht für sich allein als stichhaltiges Argument, sondern chiffriert die erwünschten, eingeforderten bzw. Existenten außenpolitischen Zustände der griechischen Welt. ; Historia - Einzelschriften 226; 407 pages‎

‎STRABO'S CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY The Making of a Kolossourgia‎

‎Strabo of Amasia, a Greek geographer of the Augusto-Tiberian period, collected his observations of the Roman world of his time in his magnum opus, the Geography, which he described as a 'Kolossourgia', a colossal statue of a work. This term reflects not only the work's size in seventeen books, but also its multi-faceted nature. An international team of Strabo scholars explores its details, and the cultural, political, historical and geographical questions addressed in the Geography. They present different approaches to the study of Strabo, from traditional literary and historical perspectives to newer material and feminist readings. ; 304 pages‎
