Staples, Ariadne
FROM GOOD GODDESS TO VESTAL VIRGINS Sex and Category in Roman Religion
Very minor edgewear to top corners of DJ else Fine. ; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social, material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures, such as Agrippina and Livia, their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion, as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture, including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society, which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions.

THE ORPHIC POEMS
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; A large number of Greek religious poems in hexameter were attributed to Orpheus, as they were to similar miracle-man figures like Bakis, Musaeus, Abaris, Aristeas, Epimenides, and the Sybil. Of this vast literature, only two examples survive whole: a set of hymns composed at some point in the 2nd or 3rd century AD, and an Orphic Argonautica composed somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. Earlier Orphic literature, which may date back as far as the 6th century BC, survives only in papyrus scraps or in quotations by later authors. ; 296 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1983 Edition.

Wiles, David
THE MASKS OF MENANDER Sign and Meaning in Greek and Roman Performance
Publisher's remainder mark to bottom of textblock (small black dot). Small tear to cloth at base of spine (~1 cm). ; 1.06 x 9.33 x 6.26 Inches; 287 pages; This book provides a detailed analysis of the conventions and techniques of performance characteristic of the Greek theatre of Menander and the subsequent Roman theatre of Plautus and Terence. Drawing on literary and archaeological sources, and on scientific treatises, David Wiles identifies the mask as crucial to the actor's art, and shows how sophisticated the art of the mask-maker became. He also examines the other main elements which the audience learned to decode: costume, voice, movement, etc. In order to identify features that were unique to Hellenistic theatre he contrasts Greek New Comedy with other traditions of masked comedy, and shows how different Roman conventions of performance rest upon different underlying assumptions about religion, marriage and class. David Wiles offers theatre historians and classicists a radical new approach to reading play texts. His book will also be useful to archaeologists seeking to understand what masks mean and how Greek and Roman theatres were used.

Claudian; Hall, J. B.
CLAUDIAN: DE RAPTU PROSERPINAE Edited with an Introduction and Commentary
DJ is price-clipped else Fine. Dustjacket is protected in plastic. ; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 11; 262 pages; An exhaustive study of Claudian's unfinished mythological epic, with a text, apparatus criticus, and commentary. The long introduction begins with a catalogue of manuscripts; and this leads to an investigation into the manuscript tradition and the history of the poem's transmission. Dr Hall then surveys the most important printed editions of the poem. He examines various theories of dating and discusses the sources of the story. He concludes the introduction with a brief critical assessment of the form and style of the poem. Dr Hall establishes his text after an examination of all the extant manuscripts. The apparatus, though very full, is selective in that it records readings of younger manuscripts only when they offer something new. It also ignores trifling corruptions. The commentary is similarly selective. In general, it discusses everything relevant to the establishing of the text and ignores points of purely mythological and literary interest.

LA VILLA DEI VOLUSII A LUCUS FERONIAE
Minor chip to cloth at middle of spine and lower spine else Fine. ; This is the most fascinating of journeys, through time. Today's main roads and rest areas follow the same communication routes used by the ancient Romans. In 1962 work was stopped on the Autosole motorway (Milan - Naples) just outside Rome following the discovery of a unique archaeological find, Villa dei Volusii. The company contributed to the recovery of the site in cooperation with the Archaeology Service for Southern Etruria and other archaeologists. Villa dei Volusii dates from the 1st century BC although the remains are part of a far larger archaeological site, Lucus Feroniae. ; 79 pages; In Italian.

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

Light shelfwear to book. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; Lucian of Samosata (c.

THINKING LIKE A LAWYER Essays on Legal History and General History for John Crook on His Eightieth Birthday
Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava : Supplementum; 1 x 9.7 x 6.3 Inches; 301 pages; This is a book about the law and life of Rome—in which contributors respond to John Crook's injunction to 'think like lawyers' by ranging as far as ancient Greece, ancient Persia and modern Denmark to expound their themes and draw comparisons. An opening section focuses on Civil Law, more or less as conventionally conceived, with chapters on the peculium, on municipal law at Irni in Roman Spain, on advisers of Roman provincial governors, and on violent crime. Roman perceptions of the physical and human worlds are the focus of a second section, and comparisons between Greek, Roman and modern ways of thinking about law and government come into the third section. In the final section, contributors argue the history of law and life from refractions of real and imagined Rome.

One small closed tear to DJ along top edge near spine. ; This is the first serious attempt to formulate a system of literary criticism for ancient poetry, derived wholly from ancient evidence. It is based on methods of generic analysis, assignment and interpretation applicable to all Greek and Roman poetry. It outlines what the author deduces are the creative principles informing ancient poets' approach to their subject matter, and establishes criteria that enable an objective discussion of the poems' originality and merit. ; 331 pages

RAPE AND THE POLITICS OF CONSENT IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 0.8 x 8.7 x 5.5 Inches; 260 pages; Were acts of sex which we would call rape and regard as a criminal offence similarly regarded in classical Athens? That is the main question posed in this book, the first in-depth study of the topic ever to be undertaken. It considers the legal terminology for rape and discusses exactly what these different terms describe. It also examines literary stories where rape and/or seduction feature as plot devices and looks at different characters' responses to them. The book's presentation makes it accessible to a wider readership of non-classicists.

Luschey, Heinz
RECHTS UND LINKS Untersuchungen Über Bewegungsrichtung, Seitenordnung Und Höhenordnung Als Elemente Der Antiken Bildsprache
Minor creasing along top of DJ. Minor rubbing to DJ. ; 131 pages; Das von Heinz Luschey (3. 12. 1910 -1.1. 1992) selbst gewählte Thema hat den Verfasser ein Leben lang begleitet. Doch seine Fragestellungen sind immer noch aufregend und ganz und gar nicht überholt. Heinz Luschey sagte dazu: "Das Bildmaterial ist nicht so sehr neu, es ist aber neu gesehen"; oder: "... Denn in der Bewegungsrichtung allein der Gestalten schon liegt etwas, was außer J. D. Beazley eigentlich niemand in unserer Wissenschaft gesehen hat. Wer sieht schon das Einfache?" Bernhard Schweitzer, der damalige Ordinarius für Klassische Archäologie in Tübingen, habilitierte Heinz Luschey mit dieser Arbeit und schloß sein Gutachten vom 22. 12. 1955 mit der Formulierung: "in summa: ein sehendes Auge und ein produktives Denken, Verantwortung vor Wissenschaft und Sprache, didaktische Begabung, endlich die Erfahrung und die Sicherheit eines reifen Gelehrten stehen hinter der vorgelegten Arbeit. " Karl Schefold, Klassischer Archäologe aus Basel, meinte 1993 dazu: "Als hervorragender Kenner der griechischen und römischen, aber auch der fernöstlichen und alt-orientalischen Kunst und mit seinem feinen Sinn für die Form des Kunstwerks hat er dieses Problem in einen weltgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang gestellt. " Und Heinz Gaube, Orientalist aus Tübingen: "Nun liegt die Arbeit technisch auf den wissenschaftlich neuesten Stand gebracht vor. Ich schrieb "technisch" (d. H. Die Anmerkungen) , denn inhaltlich ist an diesem Wurf nichts zu ändern. Die Arbeit ist ein "Klassiker" und kann in dieser Art von niemandem wiederholt werden. "

Mistra remained Byzantine for seven years after the Turks conquered Constantinople itself; Sultan Mehmed II finally extinguished Byzantine rule there in 1460.
