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.

Rome and Carthage at Peace
Discussion of the commercial treaties between Rome and Carthage includes examination of the evidence of Carthaginian trade-goods brought to Rome and of the probable residence of N. Africans in the city for purposes of trade conducted under terms of the treaties and under supervision of Roman aediles. Roman cultural borrowings from Carthaginians are treated. Roman awareness and adoption of Punic religious beliefs and practices during the first two wars between Carthage and Rome are argued. Roman attitudes to foreign gods are discussed. Through re-examination of the evidence of two Roman neighborhoods we learn about Vicus Sobrius and its cult of Mercurius Sobrius and Vicus Africus, two quarters of Rome which Carthaginians frequented and in one case had their market. Punic influence on Roman culture, especially in the 8vo, pp.252. realm of religion and agronomy. The sources of Roman acquaintance with Carthaginian commercial, agricultural and religious practices are rehabilitated. How Romans masked their cultural debt to Carthaginians is discussed. trattati commerciali tra roma e cartagine in tempo di pace. in inglese.

Braccesi Lorenzo
Giulia La Figlia Di Augusto
8vo br., pp. 256. (Storia e società). "Giulia fu una donna spiritosa, brillante, estroversa, sicuramente affascinante, conscia del suo ruolo e del suo peso sociale, che aspirava a conquistarsi sempre e comunque un proprio spazio nel quale, civettando, primeggiare: dalla frequentazione dei cenacoli letterari a quella dei circoli politici, dai salotti della ribellione generazionale a quelli, più insidiosi, della sotterranea opposizione al regime e al sistema. Tutto le era permesso, e dovunque si muovesse la seguiva un folto stuolo di corteggiatori che ne stimolava l'orgoglio e ne suscitava la vanità. Contestatrice del padre e del suo ipocrita mondo di valori, non si accorse in tempo del baratro in cui sprofondava, giorno dopo giorno, spostandosi da posizioni di fronda a quelle di aperta congiura. Molla ne fu sempre il suo spirito provocatorio e l'impulso al ruolo di prima donna": dal primo accordo di matrimonio stipulato dal padre quando la bimba aveva due anni alla morte, forse casualmente, anche del padre nello stesso anno, il volume ricostruisce l'affascinante vita di una donna discussa e criticata dai suoi contemporanei e forse musa ispiratrice di poeti e bizzarre situazioni dentro la sua corte. È lei Corinna, la donna cantata da Ovidio negli "Amores"? Perché era così affascinata dall'Egitto? Gusto dell'esotico o fatale attrazione verso forme ellenistiche di potere e dispotismo? Quale la natura del rapporto antagonistico tra lei e Livia, la terza moglie di Augusto?

Hammer, Dean
The Iliad as Politics: The Performance of Political Thought (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture)
8vo 304 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. New book. CLASSICAL STUDIES. Wily Odysseus. Bold Achilles. Brave Hektor. Beautiful Helen of Troy. For centuries, people around the world have been fascinated by these figures and their tragic war as recounted in Homer's Iliad, long admired and studied as one of the foremost epic poems of the ancient world. In The Iliad as Politics, Dean Hammer revisits this epic with a new perspective. In this first full-length treatment of the Iliad as a work of political thought, Hammer demonstrates how Homer's epic is also an ancient Greek discussion on political ethics. Hammer redefines political thought as the activity of addressing issues of collective identity and organization. Using this understanding of politics, he discusses how the characters in the Iliad, through their larger-than-life actions and interactions, embody community issues of authority, conflict, judgment, and the interrelationship between personal and collective identity. The characters' many quarrels, laments, reconciliations, and vows of loyalty and friendship all critically model the principles and controversies of underlying Greek political ethics of communal responsibility and relationship. Much of modern Western political thought focuses on classical Greek discussions of political philosophy. Hammer demonstrates that the Iliad constitutes another such ancient Greek political discussion. Dean Hammer is the John W. Wetzel Professor of Classics and Professor of Government at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He is the author of The Puritan Tradition in Revolutionary, Federalist, and Whig Political Theory: A Rhetoric of Origins and The Iliad as Politics: The Performance of Political Thought. "I applaud Hammer's effort to read the Iliad as, among other things, the first document of political thought in Greek literature and history. No such work exists at present." -Kurt Raaflaub, Professor of Classics and History Brown University "A rare treat: an engagement with Homer as a political thinker by a political theorist thoroughly versed both in the primary texts and the scholarship on epic poetry and in the period when the polis was emerging." -Walter Donlan author of The Aristocratic Ideal in Ancient Greece (Key Words: Iliad, Homer, Dean Hammer, Politics, Political Thought, Classical Studies). Volume 28 in Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture.

Barker, Elton T. E.
Entering the Agon: Dissent and Authority in Homer, Historiography, and Tragedy
Paperback. Reprint. 215 x 138 mm. This book investigates one of the most characteristic and prominent features of ancient Greek literature - the scene of debate or agon, in which with varying degrees of formality characters square up to each other and engage in a contest of words. Drawing on six case studies of different kinds of narrative - epic, historiography and tragedy - and authors as diverse as Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Sophocles and Euripides, this wide-ranging study analyses each example of debate in its context according to a set of interrelated questions: who debates, when, why, and with what consequences? Based on the changing representations of debate across and within different genres, it shows the importance of debate to these key canonical genres and, in turn, the role of literature in the construction of a citizen body through the exploration, reproduction and management of dissent from authority.

Elmer, David F.
The Poetics of Consent: Collective Decision Making and the Iliad (Hardcover) (ISBN:9781421408262)
8vo 229 x 152 mm. pp.xi-313. "The Poetics of Consent" breaks new ground in Homeric studies by interpreting the Iliad's depictions of political action in terms of the poetic forces that shaped the Iliad itself. Arguing that consensus is a central theme of the epic, David Elmer analyzes in detail scenes in which the poem's three political communities - Achaeans, Trojans, and Olympian gods-engage in the process of collective decision making. These scenes reflect an awareness of the negotiation involved in reconciling rival versions of the Iliad over centuries. They also point beyond the Iliad's world of gods and heroes to the here-and-now of the poem's performance and reception, in which the consensus over the shape and meaning of the Iliadic tradition is continuously evolving. Elmer synthesizes ideas and methods from literary and political theory, classical philology, anthropology, and folklore studies to construct an alternative to conventional understandings of the Iliad's politics. "The Poetics of Consent" reveals the ways in which consensus and collective decision making determined the authoritative account of the Trojan War that we know as the Iliad.

Theophrastus; Herodas; Cercidas and the Choliambic Poets Translator-Jeffrey Rusten; Translator-I. C. Cunningham; Translator-A. D. Knox
Theophrastus. Characters Herodas. Mimes : Cercidas and the Choliambic Poets
16mo, cloth in dj. 432 pages; This volume collects some of the liveliest examples of Greek literary portraiture. The Characters of Theophrastus sketches thirty hypothetical men, each dominated by a single fault, such as rudeness, superstitution, or greed. Unassuming in style, the sketches nonetheless bear resemblance on the one hand to Aristotle's account of faults and virtues and on the other to the vivid figures of Menandrian New Comedy. This new text and translation by Jeffrey Rusten is based on the most recent scholarship. Herodas flourished in the 270s and 260s--the high point of Hellenistic poetry. His poems are choliambic mimes, dramatic dialogues that depict characters in everyday urban settings and situations. I. C. Cunningham presents a new translation of Herodas, based on his Teubner text. Also included here, in a reprint of the earlier Loeb edition by A. D. Knox, are the fragments of Greek poetry in the choliambic meter--especially those which offer a tantalizing glimpse into the raucous and sordid world of Hipponax--and the lyric iambics on themes of Cynic philosophy by Cercidas.

Brown Peter
La società e il sacro nella tarda antichità
16mo VII-284pp. ; 21 cm.Trad. di Liliana Zella. - ISBN 8806593404. - BNI N. Bibliografia nazionale 91-143 [IT] Titolo originale: Society and the holy in late antiquity. Il volume raccoglie undici contributi di carattere vario ma d'ispirazione unitaria (conferenze, recensioni, studi, scalati fra il '71 e il '77), maturati dopo "Agostino d'Ippona" (ed. ingl. 1967) e le indagini settoriali ("Religione e società nell'età di Sant'Agostino", ed. ingl. 1972) che fra il '63 e il '70 avevano accompagnato la stesura di questa prima, vivida monografia, immersa nel paesaggio di un'epoca intensa per travaglio culturale e morale. Ridisegnato su di un orizzonte geografico e cronologico più ampio, questo paesaggio era già stato presentato da Peter Brown a un pubblico meno specialistico anche ne "Il mondo tardo antico da Marco Aurelio a Maometto" (ed. ingl. 1971). I saggi di metodo e di merito sulla santità e il sacro, oggi in edizione italiana, costituiscono di fatto il raccordo tra questa prima fase, tematicamente assai serrata, e un nuovo libro subito molto letto e discusso per il lussureggiare di prospettive provocatorie, "Il culto dei Santi. L 'origine e la diffusione di una nuova religiosità" (ed. ingl. 1981); nel contempo essi rappresentano, per assaggi, l'entroterra problematico e il laboratorio tecnico di un'altra memoria altrettanto anticonvenzionale, "The Making of Late Antiquity" (1978), sulla società e il sacro nell'era fra Marco Aurelio e Costantino secondo prospettive e luoghi assai particolari, assunti a osservatori di privilegio: i sogni, gli oracoli, i maghi, gli uomini santi, i santuari, gli altri uffici imperiali e le élites municipali nel passaggio da una "età di equilibrio" a una "età di ambizione" e di potenza. Rileggere oggi in sequenza coerente i vari contributi de "La società e il sacro" consente dunque di ritrovare, procedendo a ritroso, il balenare di quelle inattese aggregazioni di problemi che avrebbero raggiunto una formulazione più levigata nelle monografie del '78 e dell'81, anticipando sviluppi anche di un terzo libro di grande rigore e fascino, sulla società e il corpo nel primo cristianesimo pubblicato or ora presso la Columbia University Press. Il primo saggio pone subito il lettore di fronte a un aspetto metodologico centrale in tutta la ricerca dell'autore: la tensione fra conoscenza e immaginazione avvertita come "molla principale del lavoro dello storico", che è artista oltre che scienziato per le doti immaginative con cui sa proiettarsi oltre le frontiere del tempo e dello spazio, aprendosi alla comprensione anche intuitiva di uomini e di culture affatto "altre" rispetto alla propria. "Lo storico capisce i morti come capisce i vivi", aveva già scritto Arnaldo Momigliano in un noto saggio del '75, "Le regole del gioco nello studio della storia antica": n qui par dubbio il debito di Peter Brown verso quella inesausta curiosità immaginativa e intellettiva che, seppure in chiave diversa, fu propria anche di Momigliano, nel '57 super visor della sua thesis in storia medioevale a Oxford e con il quale il dialogo rimase poi ininterrotto per trent'anni.

Williams John E.
Augustus. Il Romanzo Dell'imperatore
8vo; br., pp. 382. (Lit. Libri in Tasca). Il pugnale di Bruto grondava ancora di sangue quando, appena diciottenne, il giovane Ottaviano, nipote di Giulio Cesare, venne informato dell'assassinio del condottiero. Gli ideali che avevano fatto grande il periodo repubblicano, in quel momento, erano ridotti a maschere grottesche, mentre sullo stesso Senato romano regnavano indisturbati la corruzione e il caos. Proiettato in una spietata lotta per il potere, Ottaviano dovrà ricorrere alla forza delle spade e alle seduzioni della politica per trasformare in realtà il proprio destino: quello di essere, al culmine di sanguinose battaglie, proclamato "Augusto" e salutato come il padre dell'Impero. Raccontate dalla viva voce degli uomini e delle donne più vicini all'Imperatore, le gesta di Augusto, le guerre che lo videro opporsi trionfalmente alle forze di Marco Antonio e di Cleopatra, figure leggendarie come Marco Tullio Cicerone compongono un affresco di insuperata forza narrativa.

La crisi dell'utopia. Aristofane contro Platone
8vo br., pp. IX-436. (I Robinson. Letture). "Nel corso delle feste Scire, un gruppo di donne, capeggiate da una di loro, Prassagora, particolarmente dotata di carisma e capace di pilotare un gruppo bene organizzato e proteso all'azione politico-assembleare, ha deciso di partecipare ai lavori dell'assemblea popolare. Naturalmente in quanto donne non potrebbero, perché la democrazia ateniese, come ogni società premoderna, è maschiocentrica. Perciò si travestono da uomini, con barbe, mantelli e sandali adeguati al ruolo." Questo libro ha al centro una commedia di Aristofane il commediografo, irriducibile a schemi preconcetti e a schieramenti partitici. La sua commedia, Le donne all'assemblea, ha di mira un progetto di riforma radicale della società che trova rispondenza con sorprendente puntualità nel nucleo più audace della Repubblica di Platone. Nella commedia, Aristofane ridicolizza l'idea che si possano mettere in comune le ricchezze e le relazioni sessuali; al contrario Platone ne fa l'oggetto di uno dei suoi dialoghi più importanti e influenti. È un conflitto paradigmatico sull'utopia, sulla possibile costruzione dell'uomo nuovo, sulla realizzabilità di un assetto sociale totalmente innovativo, fondato - secondo l'intuizione platonica sulla proprietà collettiva, o meglio sulla negazione della proprietà, e sulla cancellazione dell'istituto familiare con tutto il suo carico di egoismi. Più in generale, su una palingenesi complessiva di cui l''uomo nuovo' è o dovrebbe essere il risultato.

Money and Government in the Roman Empire
8vo, 320 pages; This book discusses minting and financial policy in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire. By studying Roman coin-survivals in a wider context, the author uncovers important facts about the origin of coin hoards of the Principate. The resulting analyses use extensive coin material collected for the first time. Dr. Duncan-Jones builds up a picture of minting, financial policy and monetary circulation that adds substantially to our knowledge and that stands as the only study of its kind for this period.

The World of the Fullo: Work, Economy, and Society in Roman Italy
8vo, hardcover in dj, xviii-401pp. The World of the Fullo takes a detailed look at the fullers, craftsmen who dealt with high-quality garments, of Roman Italy. Analyzing the social and economic worlds in which the fullers lived and worked, it tells the story of their economic circumstances, the way they organized their workshops, the places where they worked in the city, and their everyday lives on the shop floor and beyond. Through focusing on the lower segments of society, Flohr uses everyday work as the major organizing principle of the narrative: the volume discusses the decisions taken by those responsible for the organization of work, and how these decisions subsequently had an impact on the social lives of people carrying out the work. It emphasizes how socio-economic differences between cities resulted in fundamentally different working lives for many of their people, and that not only were economic activities shaped by Roman society, they in turn played a key role in shaping it. Using an in-depth and qualitative analysis of material remains related to economic activities, with a combined study of epigraphic and literary records, this volume portrays an insightful view of the socio-economic history of urban communities in the Roman world.

Chang'an 26 BCE: An Augustan Age in China
8vo hardcover, 642 pagine. During the last two centuries BCE, the Western Han capital of Chang'an, near today's Xi'an in northwest China, outshone Augustan Rome in several ways while administering comparable numbers of imperial subjects and equally vast territories. At its grandest, during the last fifty years or so before the collapse of the dynasty in 9 CE, Chang'an boasted imperial libraries with thousands of documents on bamboo and silk in a city nearly three times the size of Rome and nearly four times larger than Alexandria. Many reforms instituted in this capital in ate Western Han substantially shaped not only the institutions of the Eastern Han (25-220 CE) but also the rest of imperial China until 1911. Although thousands of studies document imperial Rome's glory, until now no book-length work in a Western language has been devoted to Han Chang'an, the reign of Emperor Chengdi (whose accomplishments rival those of Augustus and Hadrian), or the city's impressive library project (26-6 BCE), which ultimately produced the first state-sponsored versions of many of the classics and masterworks that we hold in our hands today. Chang'an 26 bce addresses this deficiency, using as a focal point the reign of Emperor Chengdi (r. 33-7 bce), specifically the year in which the imperial library project began. This in-depth survey by some of the world's best scholars, Chinese and Western, explores the built environment, sociopolitical transformations, and leading figures of Chang'an, making a strong case for the revision of historical assumptions about the two Han dynasties. A multidisciplinary volume representing a wealth of scholarly perspectives, the book draws on the established historical record and recent archaeological discoveries of thousands of tombs, building foundations, and remnants of walls and gates from Chang'an and its surrounding area. cina han e roma di augusto.
