Mayor Adrienne
The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome's Deadliest Enemy (ISBN:0691126836)
8vo, cloth in dj, pp. xx-450, 8 color plates. 74 halftones. 4 tables. 9 maps. . Machiavelli praised his military genius. European royalty sought out his secret elixir against poison. His life inspired Mozart's first opera, while for centuries poets and playwrights recited bloody, romantic tales of his victories, defeats, intrigues, concubines, and mysterious death. But until now no modern historian has recounted the full story of Mithradates, the ruthless king and visionary rebel who challenged the power of Rome in the first century BC. In this richly illustrated book - the first biography of Mithradates in fifty years - Adrienne Mayor combines a storyteller's gifts with the most recent archaeological and scientific discoveries to tell the tale of Mithradates as it has never been told before. "The Poison King" describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals. "The Poison King" is a gripping account of one of Rome's most relentless but least understood foes.

Brossura editoriale con 2 disegni al piatto anteriore e posteriore raffiguranti la galleria in progetto. Fin dai primi anni di Roma Capitale, inizio' il dibattito per un nuovo assetto urbanistico di Piazza Colonna compresa la realizzazione di una galleria sul modello di altre in Italia (Milano e Napoli) e all'estero. Tra i molti progetti che nel corso di quasi trent'anni vennero presentati, figura anche questo che venne come altri respinto fino al 1911 quando iniziarono i lavori per la realizzazione del progetto dell'Architetto Carbone che ebbe termine nel 1922

Mazzarino Santo
L'impero romano. Vol. 1
br. "L'impero romano, lungi dall'essere la roccaforte della conservazione, è piuttosto l'immagine della disgregazione di un mondo, la storia della classicità che si disfa e muore: il fatto sociologico più rilevante nella storia della nostra cultura." In quest'opera, Santo Mazzarino affronta i grandi temi della civiltà occidentale, dal saeculum Augustum alla fondazione degli stati romano-barbarici nel V secolo d.C, in una sintesi che salda la storia dell'Impero alla storia della Chiesa cristiana. Il racconto della cultura romana, dell'economia, della religione e la storia politica e militare si intrecciano in questa organica e brillante narrazione dell'apogeo e della lunga crisi del mondo romano.

Mazzarino Santo
La fine del mondo antico. Le cause della caduta dell'impero romano
br. "In questo libro - spiega Mazzarino - si cerca, da una parte, di delineare una storia delle idee di "decadenza" e di "morte di Roma" com'esse furono intuite e svolte dal II secolo a. C. ai nostri giorni; dall'altra, di dare un'interpretazione moderna della rovina del mondo antico, attraverso la critica e la discussione delle varie soluzioni e ipotesi. Credo che, considerato in questo suo duplice aspetto, il tema della "morte di Roma" presenti un particolare interesse: sentiamo il bisogno così di percorrere il cammino delle idee di "decadenza" e "fine" del mondo antico, come di chiederci ancora, per nostro conto, quale spiegazione di quella "fine" appaia, all'uomo di oggi, necessaria e sufficiente".

Mazzoni, Cristina
SHE-WOLF The Story of a Roman Icon
Very light shelfwear else fine. ; 282pp, illustrated. Since antiquity, the she-wolf has served as the potent symbol of Rome. For more than two thousand years, the legendary animal that rescued Romulus and Remus has been the subject of historical and political accounts, literary treatments in poetry and prose, and visual representations in every medium. In She-Wolf: The Story of a Roman Icon, Cristina Mazzoni examines the evolution of the she-wolf as a symbol in western history, art, and literature, from antiquity to contemporary times. Used, for example, as an icon of Roman imperial power, papal authority, and the distance between the present and the past, the she-wolf has also served as an allegory for greed, good politics, excessive female sexuality, and, most recently, modern, multi-cultural Rome. Mazzoni engagingly analyzes the various role guises of the she-wolf over time in the first comprehensive study in any language on this subject. ; 282 pages

McCants William F.
Founding Gods, Inventing Nations: Conquest and Culture Myths from Antiquity to Islam
8vo, From the dawn of writing in Sumer to the sunset of the Islamic empire, "Founding Gods, Inventing Nations" traces four thousand years of speculation on the origins of civilization. Investigating a vast range of primary sources, some of which are translated here for the first time, and focusing on the dynamic influence of the Greek, Roman, and Arab conquests of the Near East, William McCants looks at the ways the conquerors and those they conquered reshaped their myths of civilization's origins in response to the social and political consequences of empire. The Greek and Roman conquests brought with them a learned culture that competed with that of native elites. The conquering Arabs, in contrast, had no learned culture, which led to three hundred years of Muslim competition over the cultural orientation of Islam, a contest reflected in the culture myths of that time. What we know today as Islamic culture is the product of this contest, whose protagonists drew heavily on the lore of non-Arab and pagan antiquity.McCants argues that authors in all three periods did not write about civilization's origins solely out of pure antiquarian interest - they also sought to address the social and political tensions of the day. The strategies they employed and the postcolonial dilemmas they confronted provide invaluable context for understanding how authors today use myth and history to locate themselves in the confusing aftermath of empire.
