THE POISON KING The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome's Deadliest Enemy
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. ; 448 pages

THE IMAGE OF AUGUSTUS
Faint yellowing to rear wraps. ; Few rulers have surpassed the first Roman Emperor Augustus in the use of visual propaganda. The images he chose for his portraits, and the designs stamped on his coins or carved on his public monuments, were skilfully chosen to cloak the reality of his power by setting the benefits of his autocracy against a Republican façade. This book introduces the historical background to Augustan portraiture and illustrates the development of the emperor's public image from the beginning of his career in 44 BC to the posthumous portraits which likened him to a god. Includes images of coins of Alexander the Great, Seleucus, Julius Caesar and others. ; 47 pages

THE ROMAN HOUSEHOLD A Sourcebook
Minor shelfwear. ; The household (domus) was the basic unit of Roman society. This sourcebook offers insight into the different and often conflicting roles and mores of household members -- male and female, old and young, free and slave -- as it illustrates the activities associated with the home and Roman perceptions of its place in society. Newly translated excerpts -- some of which are available in English for the first time -- are taken from a wide range of Latin and Greek prose literature, ethical and agricultural handbooks and codes, legal texts, inscriptions, and other epigraphical material from the second century B. C. To the sixth century A. D. Taken together, they constitute an indispensable resource for the study of Roman domestic and social history, providing an intimate glimpse inside the Roman home. ; 210 pages

Spine a bit sunned. Else very light shelfwear. ; The Urban Image of Augustan Rome examines the idea and experience of the ancient city at a critical moment, when Rome became an Imperial capital.

This book explores for the first time the motives for urban intervention, methods for implementation and the socio-political context of the Augustan period, as well as broader design issues such as formal urban strategies and definitions of urban imagery. ; Contemporary South Asia S; 10.0 X 8.0 X 0.8 inches; 372 pages
