Miller Stephen G. Ed.
NEMEA A Guide to the Site and Museum
Berkeley CA U.S.A.: University of California Press. Fine. 1990. Softcover. 0520067991 . In classical antiquity beginning in 573 B. C. Nemea hosted international athletic competitions like those at Olympia Delphi and Isthmia; the games at the four sites constituted the Panhellenic cycle and the victors were the most famous athletes of antiquity. Nemea was never a city-state but served as a religious and athletic festival center where the Greek world assembled every two years under a flag of truce. Since 1974 excavations sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley have revealed many details of Nemea's history as well as evidence for the nature of the buildings and other facilities which were part of the festival center. These discoveries together with smaller finds in the museum and ancient literary and epigraphic sources form the basis of a new and sharply defined picture of the Nemean Games. This guidebook is an introduction to the history and physical remains of the festival center and a complement to detailed final publications on the excavation now being prepared. ; 214 pages . University of California Press paperback

Castleden Rodney
THE KNOSSOS LABYRINTH A New View of the `Palace of Minos' At Knossos
Routledge. Very Good. 1989. Hardcover. 0415033152 . Foxing to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Knossos like the Acropolis or Stonehenge is a symbol for an entire culture. The Knossos Labyrinth was first built in the reign of a Middle Kingdom Egyptian pharaoh and was from the start the focus of a glittering and exotic culture. Homer left elusive clues about the Knossian court and when the lost site of Knossos gradually re-emerged from obscurity in the nineteenth century the first excavators - Minos Kalokairinos Heinrich Schliemann and Arthur Evans - were predisposed to see the site through the eyes of the classical authors. Rodney Castleden argues that this line of thought was a false trail and gives an alternative insight into the labyrinth which is every bit as exciting as the traditional explanations and one which he believes is much closer to the truth. Rejecting Evans' view of Knossos as a bronze age royal palace Castleden puts forward alternative interpretations - that the building was a necropolis or a temple - and argues that the temple interpretation is the most satisfactory in the light of modern archaeological knowledge about Minoan Crete. ; 9.3 X 6.4 X 0.8 inches; 230 pages .

Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1977. Second Edition. Hardcover. 0198148100 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Light scuffing to DJ spine with 1 small chip. ; Ostia an ancient town on the coast facing the Tyrrhenian Sea in Latium Italy was the harbour of ancient Rome and perhaps its first colonia. Located at the mouth of the River Tiber Ostia was said to have been founded by Ancus Marcius one of the kings of Rome in the 7th century BC. However the most ancient archaeological remains so far discovered are no earlier than the 4th century BC and the most ancient buildings currently visible are from the 3rd century BC notably the Castrum military camp and of a slightly later date the Capitolium temple of Jupiter Juno and Minerva. The opus quadratum walls of the original castrum at Ostia provide important evidence for the building techniques that were employed in Roman urbanism during the period of the Middle Republic. Although Ostia was probably founded for the sole purpose of military defence � since through the Tiber's mouths armies could eventually reach Rome by water � in time the port became a commercial harbour and a very important one too. Many of the goods that Rome received from its colonies and provinces passed through Ostia. In this role Ostia soon replaced Pozzuoli. ; 1.54 x 9.51 x 6.45 Inches; 722 pages .

Edinburgh University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0852240899 . Faint foxing to textblock else book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; This volume constructs a narrative of four centuries of Greek history from a synthesis of literary and archaeological evidence including pottery burial practices architecture and metalwork religion commerce and language. The author argues that this era was in truth a dark age from the perspective both of scholarship and the people who lived through it conscious of lost skills and departed glories. The recession was caused he demonstrates not by external factors but by a process of internal collapse. ; 456 pages . Edinburgh University Press hardcover

Wiseman T. P.
UNWRITTEN ROME
University of Exeter Press. Very Good. 2008. Paperback. 0859898237 . Very minor shelfwear. Light bumping to spine ends. ; In Unwritten Rome a new book by the author of Myths of Rome T. P. Wiseman presents us with an imaginative and appealing picture of the early society of pre-literary Rome-as a free and uninhibited world in which the arts and popular entertainments flourished. This original angle allows the voice of the Roman people to be retrieved empathetically from contemporary artefacts and figured monuments and from selected passages of later literature. How do you understand a society that didn't write down its own history That is the problem with early Rome from the Bronze Age down to the conquest of Italy around 300 BC. The texts we have to use were all written centuries later and their view of early Rome is impossibly anachronistic. But some possibly authentic evidence may survive if we can only tease it out - like the old story of a Roman king acting as a magician or the traditional custom that may originate in the practice of ritual prostitution. This book consists of eighteen attempts to find such ma; 376 pages . University of Exeter Press paperback
