Grant Michael
The Rise of the Greeks
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 391 pages with index.plus 16 glossy pages of photographs. Publisher's Weekly: In the mystery religion of Eleusis, a colony of Athens, cult members acted out the rape of Persephone in torchlit ceremonies, while worshippers shouted obscenities and huge models of genitals were displayed to assure the fertility of crops. Classical historian Grant reveals the deep primitive roots of Greek civilization in this wide-ranging survey of the ``archaic'' period (750-480 B.C.). It was a time when 700 scattered city-states, each bent on achieving self-sufficiency, added their distinctive contributions to the melting-pot of Hellenic culture. Organized geographically by settlement, Grant's rewarding history turns up many surprises: for example, he shows that the early Spartans, belying the reputation for brute military strength they later acquired, excelled in poetry, music and ivory carving; Spartan women were treated as equals of men and spared domestic chores; and the Ionian philosopher Anaximenes, who linked the microcosm of the individual self to the cosmos, almost certainly took his ideas from the Upanishads of India.

Clarke, John R.
Looking at Laughter: Humor, Power, and Transgression in Roman Visual Culture, 100 B.C.- A.D. 250
8vo, cloth ib dj, 336 pgs. illustrations In this fresh, accessible, and beautifully illustrated book, his third to examine an aspect of Roman visual culture, John R. Clarke explores the question, "What made Romans laugh?" Looking at Laughter examines a heterogeneous corpus of visual material, from the crudely obscene to the exquisitely sophisticated and from the playful to the deadly serious--everything from street theater to erudite paintings parodying the emperor. Nine chapters, organized under the rubrics of Visual Humor, Social Humor, and Sexual Humor, analyze a wide range of visual art, including wall painting, sculpture, mosaics, and ceramics. Archaeological sites, as well as a range of ancient texts, inscriptions, and graffiti, provide the background for understanding the how and why of humorous imagery. This entertaining study offers fascinating insights into the mentality of Roman patrons and viewers who enjoyed laughing at the gods, the powers-that-be, and themselves.

A cura di Jean-Jacques Aillagon
Roma e i Barbari. La nascita di un nuovo mondo. Venezia, Palazzo Grassi, 26 gennaio - 20 luglio 2008 (ISBN:8861304893)
4to,br, ed. pp. 696, ill. b/n col., cm 25x29,5. La prima esaustiva opera sul difficile e controverso rapporto tra la civiltà romana e le popolazioni barbare. È noto che durante tutta la sua esistenza decine di milioni di Germani entrarono nell'Impero Romano e che già con Giulio Cesare, mercenari germani abbiano servito fedelmente prima come ausiliari e poi come legionari fino ad arrivare ai vertici del potere militare. Senza il contributo dei Germani difficilmente l'Impero Romano sarebbe durato così a lungo. Ma come ha contraccambiato Roma questa disponibilità, quasi totale, che i barbari del Nord offrivano? Il volume è diviso in sette importanti sezioni: -Roma e i barbari tra confronto e coesistenza -Nuovi equilibri e nuovi rapporti: la frontiera tra Romani e barbari nel IV sec. d.C.; - La crisi del V secolo (378-476); - I regni romanobarbarici; - La nuova società romanobarbarica e l'impero d'Oriente; - Verso la nuova Europa; - Roma e i barbari nella cultura europea. Nell'ultima sezione sono analizzate le più famose rappresentazioni del mito delle grandi invasioni, come per esempio La difesa dei Galli di Théodore Chassériau e Vercingetorige di Aimé Millet.

Reading Rivers in Roman Literature and Culture
8vo, pp. 142, (Roman Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches (Paperback)) This study examines rivers as a literary phenomenon, particularly in the poetry of Vergil. It first considers the Greco-Roman understanding of the river in its primary symbolic roles, cosmological, ritual and ethnographical, and then analyzes the river as a literary device, arguing that descriptions of rivers in Roman poetry are, in many cases, a form of authorial comment on the progress or structure of a narrative.
