He Was The Son Of Bertuccio Valiero Who Had Served As Doge From 1656 To 1658. Venice's War With The Ottoman Empire - The Morean War - Was Only One Part Of The Ottoman Empire's Struggle Against The Holy League Of 1684. On 11 September 1697 Ottoman Forces Were Defeated By Troops Of The Holy Roman Empire And The Kingdom Of Hungary At The Battle Of Zenta. This Decisive Battle Led To The Ottoman Empire's Determination To End The Great Turkish War And Peace Negotiations Began At Sremski Karlovci.

Under The Treaty Venice Received The Morea Aegina Lefkada And Zakynthos Zante. Most Venetians Felt They Gained Far Too Little Territory To Compensate For The Huge Loss Of Life And Expense Of The Wars With The Ottoman Empire. The Republic Was Exhausted By The Long War And Facing Economic Distress But Little Changed For Valiero And He Continued Hosting Banquets Receptions And Parties At Which He Entertained Persons Of Rank. <br/> <br/> Giovanni.

When He Conquered The Acropolis In Early 1688 Morosini Tried To Loot Athena's And Poseidon's Horses And Chariots From The West Pediment Of The Parthenon But The Sculptures Fell On The Ground And Smashed.

Galimberti Alessandro
Caracalla
8vo, br. ed. 256pp. Calvo, di bassa statura, ma dotato di un fisico possente, univa doti straordinarie - una notevole resistenza al caldo e al freddo e una capacità fuori dal comune di sottoporsi a esercizi faticosi e prolungati - a un temperamento sanguigno e poco incline al compromesso. Avido di potere e per questo animato da profondo odio prima contro il prefetto del pretorio Plauziano e poi contro il fratello, riuscì a mantenere buoni rapporti con la madre anche dopo la morte di Geta, nonostante ella avesse manifestato le sue preferenze per quest'ultimo. Sebbene si sia tentati di credere il contrario, Caracalla godette di una grande popolarità: fu amato soprattutto dai soldati, legionari e pretoriani, con i quali si dimostrò sempre molto generoso, ma anche dalla plebs, come mostrano in maniera emblematica il successo delle terme ma anche della veste da lui brevettata, il caracallus. Ecco perché - vuoi anche per la pochezza del successore - alla sua morte fu divinizzato e fu rimpianto amaramente.

Galinsky Karl
Augustus: Introduction to the Life of an Emperor
8vo, br. pp.220. Augustus, Rome's first emperor, is one of the great figures of world history and one of the most fascinating. In this lively and concise biography Karl Galinsky examines Augustus' life from childhood to deification. He chronicles the mosaic of vicissitudes, challenges, setbacks and successes that shaped Augustus' life, both public and private. How did he use his power? How did he manage to keep re-inventing himself? What kind of man was he? A transformative leader, Augustus engineered profound change in Rome and throughout the Mediterranean world. No one would have expected such vast achievements from the frail and little-known eighteen-year-old who became Caesar's heir amid turmoil and crisis. A mere thirteen years later, after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, he had, in his words, 'power over all things'.

Gallant, Thomas W.
Experiencing Dominion: Culture, Identity, and Power in the British Mediterranean
This volume contributes to contemporary debates on hegemony, power and identity in contemporary historical and anthropological literature through an examination of the imperial encounter between the British and the Greeks of the Ionian Islands during the 19th century. Each chapter focused on a different aspect of the imperial encounter, with topics including identity construction, the contestation over civil society, gender and the manipulation of public space, hegemony and accommodation, the role of law and of the institutions of criminal justice, and religion and imperial domination. It argues that a great deal can be learned about colonializm in general through an analysis of the Ionian Islands, precisely because the colonial encounter was so atypical. For example, it demonstrates that because the Ionian Greeks were racially white, Christian and descendents of Europe's classical forebears, the process of colonial identity formation was more ambiguous and complex than elsewhere in the Empire where physical and cultural distinctions were more obvious.252p. bibliography. index.

Ganz Paolo
La Grecia di isola in isola. Orizzonti di mare sulle tracce di Ulisse
br. «Nella luce impareggiabile di luoghi come questo, ritrovo il mito assoluto dell'antica Grecia, quel senso di struggente malinconia che mi afferra quando guardo il mare dalle coste a picco, gli uccelli pelagici che si avventurano in eterno volo dove l'uomo non può; dove l'orizzonte si confonde inesorabilmente con il cielo. Laggiù qualcosa sembra apparire e dare ragione al nostro esistere, lo stesso punto incerto e misterioso dove ogni nostra certezza non ha più alcun sostegno né corso». Un viaggio tra le isole greche in cui si intrecciano incontri e sapori, letteratura e storia, tragedia e mito. E mentre il Meltemi fa tintinnare nella notte greca una collana di conchiglie, Paolo Ganz fissa il pensiero con l'inchiostro nei suoi taccuini che profumano di carta e di sale. Dall'italiana Rodi, alla veneziana Creta - passando per la Megisti di Mediterraneo - fino a Corfù, ritenuta dagli studiosi dell'Odissea la terra dei Feaci, la sua rotta solitaria si dipana tra una continua profonda riflessione e la sorpresa di scoprire che il baricentro d'Europa si trova molto più a sud di quanto abbiamo sempre pensato.

Guerre et économie en Grèce ancienne.
Coll. "Textes à l'appui", Paris, éd. La Découverte, 1989, in-8, cartonnage souple, couv. photo en coul. sur fond blanc éditeur, 226 pp., table des matières, "Les hauts faits d'armes de la Grèce ancienne n'ont cessé de nourrir l'imagination occidentale : guerre de Troie, guerres médiques, guerre du Péloponnèse, conquêtes d'Alexandre, etc. Ces événements s'inscrivent en fait dans une longue histoire où les guerres ont rythmé l'existence quotidienne des cités et des royaumes, et influencé largement leurs institutions, leurs façons de vivre et leurs systèmes de valeurs. Bien loin de l'histoire-batailles en vogue au siècle dernier, cet ouvrage - devenu une référence depuis sa première édition en 1989 - explore les voies nouvelles d'une histoire de la guerre antique inscrite dans son contexte social et économique. Yvon Garlan montre en particulier à quel point la guerre était étroitement liée à la vie économique dans la Grèce ancienne : le principal mode d'exploitation (l'esclavage) se fondait directement ou indirectement sur l'usage de la force, et le droit du vainqueur à disposer des biens du vaincu constituait le meilleur des titres de propriété".

Gardner Hunter H.
Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature
8vo, hardcover in dj, 320pp. Scientists, journalists, novelists, and filmmakers continue to generate narratives of contagion, stories shaped by a tradition of disease discourse that extends to early Greco-Roman literature. Lucretius, Vergil, and Ovid developed important conventions of the western plague narrative as a response to the breakdown of the Roman res publica in the mid-first century CE and the reconstitution of stabilized government under the Augustan Principate (31 BCE-14 CE): relying on the metaphoric relationship between the human body and the body politic, these authors used largely fictive representations of epidemic disease to address the collapse of the social order and suggest remedies for its recovery. Theorists such as Susan Sontag and René Girard have observed how the rhetoric of disease frequently signals social, psychological, or political pathologies, but their observations have rarely been applied to Latin literary practices. Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature explores how the origins and spread of outbreaks described by Roman writers enact a drama in which the concerns of the individual must be weighed against those of the collective, staged in an environment signalling both reversion to a pre-historic Golden Age and the devastation characteristic of a post-apocalyptic landscape. Such innovations in Latin literature have impacted representations as diverse as Carlo Coppola's paintings of a seventeenth-century outbreak of bubonic plague in Naples and Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam Trilogy. Understanding why Latin writers developed these tropes for articulating contagious disease and imbuing them with meaning for the collapse of the Roman body politic allows us to clarify what more recent disease discourses mean both for their creators and for the populations they afflict in contemporary media.
