AUTOPSY IN ATHENS Recent Archaeological Research on Athens and Attica
Slight waviness to endpapers. ; This is an exciting time to study in Athens. The “rescue” excavations of recent years, conducted during construction of the Metro system and in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games, combined with major restoration projects and a new enthusiasm for fresh examination of old material, using new techniques and applications, brings new perspectives and answers on many aspects of the ancient city of Athens and life, politics and religion in Attica. The 15 papers presented here contribute new findings that result from intensive, first-hand examinations of the archaeological and epigraphical evidence. They illustrate how much may be gained by re-examining material from older excavations, and from the methodological shift from documenting information to closer analysis and larger historical reflection. They offer a variety of perspectives on a range of issues: the ambience of the ancient city for passers-by, filled with roadside shrines; techniques of architectural construction and sculpting; religious expression in Athens including cults of Asklepios and Serapis; the precise procedures for Greek sacrifice; how the borders of Attica were defined over time, and details of its road-system. In presenting this volume the contributors are continuing in a long tradition of autopsy – in the sense of 'personal observation' – in Athens, that began even in the Hellenistic period and has continued through the writings of centuries of travellers and academics to the present day. ; 11.3 X 8.8 X 0.7 inches; 224 pages

THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
Small tear to head of spine (1/2 cm). Else book is fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters, advise other officeholders, and make some administrative decisions, it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures, Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic, which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights, voters had to come to Rome (or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did) and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. , the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon, and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers, as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained, and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages

THE ROMAN NEAR EAST 31 BC - AD 337
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor bumping to head of spine. ; Carl Newell Jackson Lectures; 9.5 x 1.5 x 6.75 Inches; 624 pages; From Augustus to Constantine, the Roman Empire in the Near East expanded step by step, southward to the Red Sea and eastward across the Euphrates to the Tigris. In a remarkable work of interpretive history, Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria, Judaea, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples, religions, and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop, Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control, he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities, bringing out the different strands of culture, communal identity, language, and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world, distilling a vast amount of literary, documentary, artistic, and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East.

ATHENS AND PERSIA IN THE FIFTH CENTURY BC A Study in Cultural Receptivity
Initial in ink to front inner cover 'N' (Jenifer Neils). Light shelfwear to DJ. ; 345 pages; It is a commonplace of modern scholarship that the Athenians hated and despised the Persians, but the claims of contempt are disproved by the evidence of archaeology, epigraphy, iconography and literature, all of which reveal some facet of Athenian receptivity to Achaemenid Persian culture. The Athenian response was as richly complex as the spheres of interaction: both private and public, elite and sub-elite. It appears in pot shapes, clothing, luxurious display and monumental architecture. This innovative study, the first comprehensive collection of evidence pertaining to the relations between Athens and Persia in the fifth century BC, aims to make this evidence better known and in so doing to argue that the social culture of classical Athens was not the monolithic construct it might appear

Very light bump to top of spine else book is fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; Lyric Texts and Lyric Consciousness presents a model for studying the history of lyric as a genre. Prof Miller draws a distinction between the work of the Greek lyrists and the more condensed, personal poetry that we associate with lyric. He then confronts the theoretical issues and presents a sophisticated, Bakhtinian reading of the development of the lyric form from its origins in archaic Greece to the more individualist style of Augustan Rome. This book will appeal to classicists and, since English translations of passages from the ancient authors are provided, to those who specialise in comparative literature. ; 248 pages

ARETE Greek Sports from Ancient Sources. (A Second and Expanded Edition)
Light creasing to spine. Minor shelfwear. Former owner's name to ffep. ; 239 pages; From the informal games of Homer's time to the highly organized contests of the Roman world, Miller has compiled a trove of ancient sources--Plutarch on boxing, Aristotle on the pentathlon, Philostratos on clay dust as an anti-perspirant and on the buying and selling of victories, Vitruvius on literary competitions, Xenophon on female body building. With fully twice as many texts as the highly successful first edition, this new version of Arete offers readers an absorbing lesson in the culture of Greek athletics from the greatest of teachers--the ancients themselves. These sources, which Miller himself has translated, provide unparalleled insights into ancient athletic practices and competitive festivals. They emphasize the fundamental role of athletics in education and shed light on such issues as the role of women in athletics and the politics and economics of the games. Ultimately they demonstrate that the concepts of virtue, skill, pride, valor, and nobility embedded in the word arete and so closely associated in the modern mind with Greek athletics are only part of the story from antiquity.

DIE GRIECHISCHE KOLONISATION Im Spiegel Literarischer Zeugnisse
Light shelfwear to bottom back corner else Fine. ; Kaum ein geschichtliches Phänomen hat die griechische Kultur so geprägt wie die große Kolonisationsbewegung, die im 8. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Einsetzte und zur Besiedlung entlegenster Gebiete des Mittelmeerraumes durch Griechen führte. Deshalb findet die Gründung von Kolonien in so gut wie allen literarischen Gattungen der archaischen und klassischen Zeit ihren Niederschlag, vom Epos bis zur Komödie, von der Historiographie bis zur Philosophie. Das vorliegende Buch macht es sich zur Aufgabe, dieses vielfältige Material zu sichten und die Hauptmotive herauszuarbeiten, die in der Darstellung der griechischen Autoren die wichtigste Rolle spielen. Es ist dabei nicht der Blickwinkel des Historikers, sondern der des Literaturwissenschaftlers, aus dem das gewonnene Material untersucht wird. Nicht die Rekonstruktion historischer Abläufe ist Ziel der Arbeit, sondern eine kritische Betrachtung der "Leitmotive", die in Dichtung und Prosa der Griechen (von Homer bis Aristoteles) das Thema "Kolonisation" bestimmen. Es geht darum, die Grundstruktur des Bildes nachzuzeichnen, das die Griechen selbst sich von ihrer Kolonisationsgeschichte machten. Dabei soll gezeigt werden, wie das untersuchte Phänomen von den Überlieferungsträgern literarisch umgesetzt wird, insbesondere durch Einbindung in mythischen und religiösen Kontext. ; Classica Monacensia; 337 pages

RATIO ET RES IPSA Classical Essays Presented by Former Pupils to James Diggle on His Retirement
Cambridge Classical Journal Supplementary Volume 36; 296 pages; Since 1966, when James Diggle was elected to his Fellowship at Queen's College, Cambridge, his teaching and scholarly example have inspired many of his pupils to embark on their own academic careers. In this volume fourteen former pupils have contributed essays to mark his retirement.
