Barrett, Anthony A.
LIVIA First Lady of Imperial Rome
Book is fine. DJ has 1 small closed tear now in mylar. ; 1.23 x 9.46 x 6.36 Inches; 464 pages; Livia (58 B.C.-A.D. 29)-the wife of the first Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus, and mother of the second, Tiberius-wielded power at the center of Roman politics for most of her long life. Livia has been portrayed as a cunning and sinister schemer, but in this biography (the first in English devoted to her) Livia emerges as a much more complex individual. Achieving influence unprecedented for a woman, she won support and even affection from her contemporaries and was widely revered after her death. <P>Anthony A. Barrett, author of acclaimed biographies of Caligula and Agrippina, here examines Livia's life and her role in Roman politics. He recounts the events of her life, from her early days as a member of the wealthy and powerful Claudian family through her final conflicts with the new Emperor Tiberius. Barrett also considers how Livia helped shape the pattern of Roman government that prevailed for the next four centuries.

Bradford, Ernle
HANNIBAL
Minor bump to top of spine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. ; Describes Hannibal's actions as soldier, general, statesman, and as a mortal human being. It explores the strategies of his greatest battles (at Cannae his troops killed 45,000 Romans in an afternoon and nearly brought the Roman Empire to its knees). ; 223 pages; During the second century B. C. , the North African city of Carthage was a powerful commercial center. One of its leading citizens was Hannibal. Carthagian excursions into Roman territory led to the Punic Wars and Hannibal was called into service. Ernle Bradford examines the campaign during the Second Punic War when Hannibal set out to invade Italy with a small force of select troops, crossing the Alps with a full baggage train intending to take Rome. For 16 years the campaign continued and Bradford examines the tactics of the major battles and traces the reasons why Hannibal failed to conquer the Romans.

Sheridan, Michael
ROMANS Their Lives and Times
Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Romans do nothing by halves - nowhere is the espresso more bitter, the monuments as grandiose, the intrigue so ancient and the style as contrived. In this book, the author, a former correspondent, shows readers the true Rome and the true Romans. The book provides an evocative mixture of history, literature, and politics, including diarists and commentators to chronicle almost every generation of Roman hedonism and decay. Here is the Rome of the Popes, of a poet who loathed priests - Shelley, his wife and their son - in happiness and in tragedy. Here too are the city's intimitable railways, its innumerable cats. Sheridan the historian unravels the curious story of Mussloini's son-in-law and the British ambassador and as befits his period as a leading newspaper correspondent, new thoughts on Don Giulio Andreotti, seven times Prime Minister, as well as the Moro and Calvi affairs and other scandals. ; 202 pages

Millar, Fergus
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

Mattern, Susan P.
ROME AND THE ENEMY Imperial Strategy in the Principate
Tiny stain to rear board and obverse of DJ else book and DJ are fine/fine. ; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 277 pages; How did the Romans build and maintain one of the most powerful and stable empires in the history of the world? This illuminating book draws on the literature, especially the historiography, composed by the members of the elite who conducted Roman foreign affairs. From this evidence, Susan P. Mattern reevaluates the roots, motivations, and goals of Roman imperial foreign policy especially as that policy related to warfare. In a major reinterpretation of the sources, Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of national honor, fierce competition for status, and revenge drove Roman foreign policy, and though different from the highly rationalizing strategies often attributed to the Romans, dictated patterns of response that remained consistent over centuries. Mattern reconstructs the world view of the Roman decision-makers, the emperors, and the elite from which they drew their advisers. She discusses Roman conceptions of geography, strategy, economics, and the influence of traditional Roman values on the conduct of military campaigns. She shows that these leaders were more strongly influenced by a traditional, stereotyped perception of the enemy and a drive to avenge insults to their national honor than by concepts of defensible borders. In fact, the desire to enforce an image of Roman power was a major policy goal behind many of their most brutal and aggressive campaigns. Rome and the Enemy provides a fascinating look into the Roman mind in addition to a compelling re-examination of Roman conceptions of warfare and national honor. The resulting picture creates a new understanding of Rome's long mastery of the Mediterranean world.

Bumping to corners. Small bump to top corner of textblock with creasing to a few pages. DJ has creasing along edges with a couple of tiny chips. ; The Roman world in the Imperial period was ruled by a succession of autocrats for whom the army remained the single most important source of political power. But how could one man win the loyalty and affection of an army which numbered up to to half a million? Although financial benefits and legal privileges had the most direct impact on the soldiers, every emperor sought some kind of additional bond through a personal association and identification with them. ; 468 pages; Special edition for Sandpiper Books.

Southern, Pat
JULIUS CAESAR
DJ is in mylar. ; This new study of Julius Caesar's life and achievements follows the author's widely acclaimed books on Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, and completes her trilogy on the Late Republic. As Pat Southern makes clear, although we know what Caesar did, we do not really know who he was. Certain features stand out but do not make up the whole man - his staggering energy, the ruthlessness and determination to achieve what he wanted, the loyalty that he inspired in some people and the extreme hatred in others. He became close to being defeated in battle, but never lost a war. He caused the deaths of many, but did not proscribe thousands like Marius and Sulla before him and Anthony and Octavian after him. His aim was to improve, augment and streamline the administration of Rome and the provinces. To do that he needed supreme power, and in achieving it he formed the bridge between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. ; 0.61 x 9.48 x 6.34 Inches; 160 pages

AUGUSTUS
Corners very lightly bumped. ; Roman Imperial Biographies; 0.95 x 9.43 x 6.38 Inches; 271 pages; Augustus, the heir to Julius Caesar, was the guiding light in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. In this biography, Pat Southern traces the life and works of the emperor chronologically, presenting idealogy and events as they occurred from Augustus' point of view, including his transition from heir and successor of Julius Caesar to head of the new Principate and his development of the Roman Empire. Augustus did not have a master plan of politics and legislation, but instead, he had to wait and occasionally change course before he settled on a version of government that the Senate and people found acceptable. While there have been many books covering the political, social, and aesthetic culture of the Augustan Age, this is the first book to present the life of Augustus, the man.

CAESAR A Biography
Scholar's name to half-title (Robert Brown). Else minor shelfwear. ; 9.75 x 1.75 x 6.5 Inches; 528 pages; For centuries, Julius Caesar has endured in our collective imagination as a favorite among historians and scholars, playwrights and poets. In legend he lives as the great conqueror of Rome's immense empire, a remarkable diplomat and writer, an unrivaled heartbreaker, and a man of relentless determination who met a seemingly tragic end. Caesar examines the riveting story of a complex man within the context of the crisis of the Roman republic. Meier vividly reconstructs the distinctive features of this age by emphasizing the prevalent educational practices that imposed limitations on individual development. Meier clearly shows that Caesar early on established himself as a man whose unique drive, self-confidence, and detachment would bring him into continual conflict with established institutions. What were the political and social forces that shaped and challenged this extraordinary individual? And how did this larger-than-life leader truly affect the fate of the Roman republic and the course of history? Internationally renowned historian Christian Meier explores these questions in the most authoritative and accessible account ot Julius Caesar's life, career, and legacy.

Beard, Mary & Michael Crawford
ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
Light rubbin to wraps with a bit of colour loss. Scholar's name to titlepage (Robert Brown). ; 8vo; 106 pages; What were the reasons for the Roman revolution, wherein a republican form of government that had endured for centuries suddenly gave way, after civil war, to a dictatorship, which eventually dissolved under the peaceful sway of an autocratic principate? When did the process of change begin, what were its significant stages, and how are we to make sense of it? These are some of the questions addressed by two able scholars in this remarkably concise and accomplished survey of the history of the late Roman Republic. Setting themselves the challenging goal of making the first century comprehensible in twentieth-century terms, Mary Beard and Michael Crawford outline the factors that must be assessed for a proper understanding of the period-- from the attitudes of the aristocracy and the role of the state religion to the function of political institutions, and the reasons for imperial expansion. They offer no simple explanations, but instead supply a descriptive framework that clarifies a mass of conflicting and fragmentary evidence. Ideal for both introductory and graduate courses in the later Roman Republic, this book will make stimulating and provocative reading for anyone interested in the history of ancient Rome. From the Index: 1. The Nature of the Problem 2.The Cultural Horizons of the Aristocracy 3. Religion 4. Political Institutions 5. The Working of Politics 6. Rome and the Outside World

THE FAMILY IN ANCIENT ROME New Perspectives
Scholar's blindstamp and name to ffep (Robert Brown). Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; Little has been published on the Roman family, a subject of central importance to political as well as social history. It was the family that determined political power; it was within the family that the distinctive relationships of one citizen to another were forged and exemplified. The Family in Ancient Rome provides an overview of the state of research by presenting some of the most important work being done in this area. In addition to a survey of the literature on all aspects of the Roman family, the book begins with a general picture of the main features of the family. More specialized essays deal with the legal evidence, wills and property rights which were of particular importance for the position of women; with the link between property disposition, dowry, and divorce; with the authority of the male head of the household and its relation to political power; with the status of children born of unions between slaves and citizen; and with the rearing of, and attitudes toward, children. ; 288 pages; Isbn: 0801418739
