THE RELIGION OF SENATORS IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Power and the Beyond
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0521897246 . Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 270 pages; This book examines the connection between political and religious power in the pagan Roman Empire through a study of senatorial religion. Presenting a new collection of historical epigraphic prosopographic and material evidence it argues that as Augustus turned to religion to legitimize his powers senators in turn also came to negotiate their own power as well as that of the emperor partly in religious terms. In Rome the body of the senate and priesthoods helped to maintain the religious power of the senate; across the Empire senators defined their magisterial powers by following the model of emperors and by relying on the piety of sacrifice and benefactions. The ongoing participation and innovations of senators confirm the deep ability of imperial religion to engage the normative symbolic and imaginative aspects of religious life among senators. .

PERIPHERIE-DENKEN Transformation Und Adaption Des Gottes Silvanus in Den 1.-4. Jahrhundert N. Chr.
Franz Steiner Verlag. Very Good. 2012. Softcover. 351509945X . Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; Silvanus war einer der popul�rsten G�tter in den Donauprovinzen. Er pr�gte das religi�se Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbev�lkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten St�dten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Ph�nomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erkl�rt. In Peripherie-Denken wird f�r diese Differenz eine neue Erkl�rung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begr�ndung sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion f�r die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religi�se Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar es leistet auch einen Ansatz f�r eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitr�ge Pawb Band 35; 340 pages .

Slatkin Laura M.
THE POWER OF THETIS And Selected Essays
Center for Hellenic Studies. Fine with no dust jacket. 2011. Paperback. 0674021436 . Laura Slatkin's influential and widely admired book here published in a second edition together with six additional essays explores the superficially minor role of Thetis in the Iliad. Highly charged allusions reverberate through the narrative and establish a constellation of themes that link the poem to other traditions. Slatkin uncovers alternative traditions about the power of Thetis and shows how an awareness of those myths brings a far greater understanding of Thetis's place in the thematic structure of the Iliad. The six additional essays included in this volume--some of them classics some never before published--cover a broad range of topics in the study of the Greek Epic: the workings of genre in Hesiod and Homer; the poetics of exchange; and the nature of enmity and friendship. The volume also includes a study of the Hesiodic Catalog of Women and reflections on particular heroes such as Diomedes and Odysseus. ; Hellenic Studies 16; 238 pages .

Fondazione Nazionale Ellenica Delle Ricerche; 367 pages; The religious nature of the Imperial Cult is apparent in Greece where Roman emperors were worshipped during their lifetime as real gods with priests festivals and sanctuaries. The emperors were conceived by the Greeks in a more familiar way through their integration into the Greek religious and cultural system. The reigning princeps was the main focus of these cults which from the middle of the first century AD were �subsumed� in a new form of �collective� cults addressed to the whole of the Sebastoi. The present book provides a comprehensive analysis of the main aspects of the cults of the emperors in the Greek peninsula province of Achaia in the period from Trajan to Commodus. In order to show how the Theoi Sebastoi were worshipped in the Greek poleis and koina imperial festivals and priesthoods as well as buildings for the imperial cult are presented and discussed in detail based on the epigraphic literary and archaeological evidence. Special attention is paid to the cultic association between Roman emperors and Greek gods but political and social implications of these cults are also addressed. . Diffusion De Boccard paperback
