Mihail I. Rostovcev
Per la storia del colonnato romano
L'opera è una analisi delle trasformazioni subite dai rapporti agrari nel mondo ellenistico-romano. Per l'autore l'istituto del colonato rappresenta una sorta di ritorno all'antico, una specie di pseudomorfosi dei rapporti agrari che Roma aveva ereditato dalle monarchie ellenistiche e che corrisponde all'immobilizzazione generale conosciuta dalla società del IV secolo d.C. La miniera di informazioni su Egitto, Asia Minore, Sicilia e Africa, unita a un'ampia e generale visione dei problemi economici animata da grande capacità di sintesi, fa di quest'opera la premessa ai capolavori rostovtzeffiani "La Storia economica e sociale dell'impero romano" e la "Storia economica e sociale del mondo ellenistico". Autori: Mihail I. Rostovcev. Curatori: A. Marcone.

MIKLOS N. VARGA
ARTE COME STORIA Repertorio cronologico e bibliografico degli avvenimenti artistici dall'anno 1000 ai nostri giorni
LIGUORI 1995 792 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PERFETTO E INTONSO. Una guida, una biblioteca d’Arte come storia. Il titolo riflette l’esigenza di fornire al "pubblico dell’arte" (storici dell’arte, studenti liceali e universitari, soprattutto nell’ambito delle accademie di belle arti) uno strumento di consultazione. Pertanto, nel riassumere gli svolgimenti artistico-culturali in sintonia con gli accadimenti storici dall’anno Mille ai nostri giorni, questo libro-repertorio presenta una panoramica multidisciplinare e comparativa nei "percorsi incrociati" fra arte e storia con le relative indicazioni bibliografiche, attraverso la suddivisione in quattro parti. La prima va dalla fenomenologia tecnico-espressiva dei modi e dei generi alle interpretazioni critico-teoriche inerenti ai diversi ambiti disciplinari; nella seconda tre raggruppamenti (1000-1300, 1400-1600, 1700-1990) forniscono gli apparati cronologici e bibliografici in sintesi informativa per la ricerca; la terza offre la "linea simbolica" dell’arte, riguardante l’iconografia e l’iconologia nel contesto del pensiero simbolico; la quarta è dedicata alla nomenclatura.

Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
Small tear to head of spine (1/2 cm). Else book is fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters, advise other officeholders, and make some administrative decisions, it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures, Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic, which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights, voters had to come to Rome (or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did) and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. , the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon, and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers, as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained, and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages

THE ROMAN NEAR EAST 31 BC - AD 337
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor bumping to head of spine. ; Carl Newell Jackson Lectures; 9.5 x 1.5 x 6.75 Inches; 624 pages; From Augustus to Constantine, the Roman Empire in the Near East expanded step by step, southward to the Red Sea and eastward across the Euphrates to the Tigris. In a remarkable work of interpretive history, Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria, Judaea, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples, religions, and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop, Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control, he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities, bringing out the different strands of culture, communal identity, language, and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world, distilling a vast amount of literary, documentary, artistic, and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East.
