Pomeroy Sarah B.
FAMILIES IN CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC GREECE Representations and Realities
Oxford Clarendon Press. Near Fine. 1998. Paperback. 0198152604 . Very light shelfwear. Bibliographical ref written in pencil to rear wrap. ; With this volume Sarah Pomeroy builds on the groundwork she laid in Xenophon Oeconomicus: A Social and Historical Commentary Oxford 1994 and provides the first comprehensive study of the Greek family. Knowledge of the family and kin groups is fundamental to understanding the development of the political and legal framework of the polis a community of oikoi 'families' or 'households' rather than of individual citizens. Pomeroy offers a highly original and authoritative account of the Greek family as a productive and reproductive social unit in Athens and elsewhere during the classical and Hellenistic periods taking account of a mass of literary inscriptional archaeological anthropological and art-historical evidence. Despite the unflagging scholarly interest in the development of the polis until recently little attention has been paid to the history and structure of its smallest constituent the oikos. Pomeroy seeks to show that the Greek oikos had several versions: a pseudo-kin group restricted to male citizens; a mixed family group oriented toward the public in which men predominated; and a family group of a more private nature that accommodated women to a greater extent though without necessarily excluding men. Public legislation and private custom concurred to perpetuate the oikoi expecting it to endure longer than the lifespan of any individual member and to bear economic and social burdens imposed by the state. ; 272 pages .

Pomeroy Sarah B.
The Murder of Regilla: A Case of Domestic Violence in Antiquilty
8vo, hardcover dj 249pp. From an acclaimed author comes a fascinating story of the life, marriage, and death of an all but forgotten Roman woman. Born to an illustrious Roman family in 125 CE, Regilla was married at the age of fifteen to Herodes, a wealthy Greek who championed his country s values at a time when Rome ruled. Twenty years later - and eight months pregnant with her sixth child - Regilla died under mysterious circumstances, after a blow to the abdomen delivered by Herodes freedman. Regilla s brother charged Herodes with murder, but a Roman court (at the urging of Marcus Aurelius) acquitted him. Sarah Pomeroy s investigation suggests that despite Herodes erection of numerous monuments to his deceased wife, he was in fact guilty of the crime. A pioneer in the study of ancient women, Pomeroy gathers a broad, unique array of evidence, from political and family history to Greco-Roman writings and archaeology, to re-create the life and death of Regilla. Teasing out the tensions of class, gender, and ethnicity that gird this story of marriage and murder, Pomeroy exposes the intimate life and tragedy of an elite Roman couple. Part archaeological investigation, part historical re-creation, and part detective story,

Porphyrios Elder Evangelos Bairaktaris
Wounded by Love The Life and Wisdom of Elder Porphyrios
LimniEvviaGreece: Denise Harvey 2004 New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece Elder Porphyrios a Greek monk and priest who died in 1991 stands in the long tradition of charismatic spiritual guides in the Eastern Church which continues from the apostolic age down to figures such as Saint Seraphim of Sarov and Staretz Silouan in modern times. In this book he tells the story of his life and in simple deeply relfected and profoundly wise words he expounds the Christian faith for today. This book was compiled after his death from an archive of notes and recordings of his reminiscences conversations and words of guidance and was first published in Greek in 2003. The vibrant personality of Elder Porphyrios at all times shines through his words with great transparency and charm. In his introduction to the Greek edition Bishop Irenaeus of Chania writes: 'The words of blessed Elder Porphyrios are the words of a holy Father of a man with the gift of clear sight who was ever retiring humble simple and ardent and whose life was a true and authentic witness to Christ to His truth and to His joy. Through his presence love prayer counsel and guidance he supported an untold number of people in the diffcult hours of illness mourning pain loss of faith and death. He is a god-bearing Father of our days a true priest and teacher who in his ascetic way fell in love with Christ and faithfully served his fellow man. His teaching is deeply impregnated with the ethos and theology of the Orthodox Church and is dominated by the person and image of Christ our Saviour.' . Softcover. New Book from Greece.

Constantine the Emperor
Oxford: Oxford University Press 2015 No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths. The vast record of Constantine's administration reveals a government careful in its exercise of power but capable of ruthless even savage actions. Constantine executed or drove to suicide his father-in-law two brothers-in-law his eldest son and his once beloved wife. An unparalleled general throughout his life planning a major assault on the Sassanian Empire in Persia even on his deathbed. Alongside the visionary who believed that his success came from the direct intervention of his God resided an aggressive warrior a sometimes cruel partner and an immensely shrewd ruler. These characteristics combined together in a long and remarkable career which restored the Roman Empire to its former glory. Beginning with his first biographer Eusebius Constantine's image has been subject to distortion. . the most comprehensive authoritative and readable account of Constantine's extraordinary life. 368p. illus. bibliography index. Softcover. As New. Oxford University Press unknown

The Roman Empire at Bay, AD 180-395
8vi, br. ed. pp.790. The Roman Empire at Bay is the only one volume history of the critical years 180-395 AD, which saw the transformation of the Roman Empire from a unitary state centred on Rome, into a new polity with two capitals and a new religion-Christianity. The book integrates social and intellectual history into the narrative, looking to explore the relationship between contingent events and deeper structure. It also covers an amazingly dramatic narrative from the civil wars after the death of Commodus through the conversion of Constantine to the arrival of the Goths in the Roman Empire, setting in motion the final collapse of the western empire. The new edition takes account of important new scholarship in questions of Roman identity, on economy and society as well as work on the age of Constantine, which has advanced significantly in the last decade, while recent archaeological and art historical work is more fully drawn into the narrative. At its core, the central question that drives The Roman Empire at Bay remains, what did it mean to be a Roman and how did that meaning change as the empire changed? Updated for a new generation of students, this book remains a crucial tool in the study of this period.
