David, Jean-Michel
THE ROMAN CONQUEST OF ITALY
Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; This is an account of the turbulent centuries in which the forces of Rome subdued the peoples of Italy, incorporated their aristocracies and created, by the end of the first-century BC, a unified Italian state of Roman citizens. At the time of the second Punic War when Hannibal descended from the Alps, Italy consisted of several ancient settlements and peoples: among them, the Gauls in the North, the Etruscans in the centre, the Greeks on the Southern coasts and in Sicily, and the indigenous Phoenicians in Sardinia. The Romans themselves occupied little more than one-tenth of what is now modern Italy. The process by which these people were incorporated into the Roman Polity was violent and effective. The state that Augustus inherited was not only the largest in the ancient world, but efficiently ordered and administered from the Roman centre. The book opens with a description of the peoples of Italy at around the end of the fourth-century BC. It describes the early success of Roman diplomacy and force in creating client populations among the Etruscans, the Latins and the Hellenized populations of the south. Hannibal's invasion both accelerated and accentuated the process of incorporation. Those people who sided with the Carthaginians were ruthlessly punished, their lands confiscated and tens of thousands massacred. Those people siding with the Romans required their protection. Whereas at the beginning of the period the Italian peoples sought to preserve their independence and ethnic traditions, by its end those who had not achieved Roman citizenship were demanding it, by argument and by force. The author shows how the social and civil wars stemmed more from a desire for inclusion in the Roman state than independence from it. Jean-Michel David describes the dramatic change in the Roman economy and polity during the period. He also examines the causes and consequences of the changes in population that took place, including the effects of the enslavement and importation of large numbers of defeated rebels (including, for example, over one million Gauls). By the end of the period many of the slaves had, too, graduated by a process of emancipation and economic well-being to the citizenship which had once held them in thrall. This is a history of the formative years of Roman power. It takes full account of recent scholarship and archaeological discoveries in Italy. ; 218 pages

Prose, Francine
SICILIAN ODYSSEY
A blending of art and cultural criticism, travel writing, and personal narrative, Sicilian Odyssey is Francine Prose's imaginative consideration of the diverse cultural legacies found juxtaposed and entangled on the Mediterranean island of Sicily. She writes of the intensity of Sicily, the "commitment to the extreme," where the history is more colorful, the sun hotter, the cooking earthier, the violence more horrific, the carnival more raucous, the politics more Byzantine than other places on Earth, and how much the island can teach us about the triumph of beauty over violence and life over death. Prose examines architectural sites and objects and looks at the ways in which myth and actuality converge. Exploring the intact and beautiful Greek amphitheaters at Siracusa and Taormina, the cathedral at Monreale, the Roman mosaics at Piazza Armerina, and some of the masterpieces of the Baroque scattered throughout the island, Prose focuses her keen insight to imagine them in their own time, to examine the evolution and decline of the cultures that produced them, and to deconstruct powerful responses each evokes in her. ; National Geographic Directions; 8.1 X 5.7 X 0.9 inches; 192 pages

Rutledge, Steven
ANCIENT ROME AS A MUSEUM Power, Identity, and the Culture of Collecting
DJ flaps are creased. Faint yellowing to DJ. ; In antiquity, Rome represented one of the world's great cultural capitals. The city constituted a collective repository for various commemoratives, cultural artefacts, and curiosities, not to mention plunder taken in war, and over its history became what we might call a "museum city." Ancient Rome as a Museum considers how cultural objects and memorabilia both from Rome and its empire came to reflect a specific Roman identity and, in some instances, to even construct or challenge Roman perceptions of power and of the self. In this volume, Rutledge argues that Roman cultural values and identity are indicated in part by what sort of materials Romans deemed worthy of display and how they chose to display, view, and preserve them. Grounded in the growing field of museum studies, this book includes a discussion on private acquisition of cultural property and asks how well the Roman community at large understood the meaning and history behind various objects and memorabilia. Of particular importance was the use of collections by a number of emperors in the further establishment of their legitimacy and authority. Through an examination of specific cultural objects, Rutledge questions how they came to reflect or even perpetuate Roman values and identity.; Oxford Studies In Ancient Culture & Representation; 9.7 X 7.7 X 1.2 inches; 424 pages

Clarke, John R.
ART IN THE LIVES OF ORDINARY ROMANS Visual Representation and Non-Elite Viewers in Italy, 100 B. C. -A. D. 315
This splendidly illustrated book brings to life the ancient Romans whom modern scholarship has largely ignored: slaves, ex-slaves, foreigners, and the freeborn working poor. Though they had no access to the upper echelons of society, ordinary Romans enlivened their world with all manner of artworks. Discussing a wide range of art in the late republic and early empire-from familiar monuments to the obscure Caupona of Salvius and little-studied tomb reliefs-John R. Clarke provides a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of ordinary Roman people. Writing for a wide audience, he illuminates the dynamics of a discerning and sophisticated population, overturning much accepted wisdom about them, and opening our eyes to their astounding cultural diversity. Clarke begins by asking: How did emperors use monumental displays to communicate their policies to ordinary people? His innovative readings demonstrate how the Ara Pacis, the columns of Trajan and of Marcus Aurelius, and the Arch of Constantine announced each dynasty's program for handling the lower classes. Clarke then considers art commissioned by the non-elites themselves-the paintings, mosaics, and reliefs that decorated their homes, shops, taverns, and tombstones. In a series of paintings from taverns and houses, for instance, he uncovers wickedly funny combinations of text and image used by ordinary Romans to poke fun at elite pretensions in art, philosophy, and poetry. In addition to providing perceptive readings of many works of Roman art, this original and entertaining book demonstrates why historians must recognize, rather than erase, complexity and contradiction and asks new questions about class, culture, and social regulation that are highly relevant in today's global culture. ; Joan Palevsky Imprint in Classical Literature; 9.9 X 6.9 X 1.0 inches; 418 pages

THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Minor creasing lower corner of DJ. ; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation, from 1952 onwards, of the first Greek establishment in the West, Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early, and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore, the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there, which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery, the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages
