Wiseman, T. P.
UNWRITTEN ROME
University of Exeter Press. Very Good. 2008. Paperback. 0859898237 . Very minor shelfwear. Light creasing to upper corner of rear wrap. ; 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

POMPEII AD 79 The Treasure of Rediscovery
Clarkson N. Potter Distributed By Crown Publishers. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0517538598 . Very minor shelfwear. DJ has a few tears rubbing and chipping ; An Official Publication of the American Museum of Natural History New York; Folio 13" - 23" tall; 305 pages; Oversized. This is the story of man's restoration of Pompeii to the world from the earliest excavations to the most recent soundings. Each step of the archaeological history brought about a clearer picture of life as it was. The discoveries also had their impact on the times -- "Pompeian fever" swept 18th and 19th century Europe. This is also the story of the men who dominated the digs -- the initial probings of Prince d'Elbeuf the adventures -- amorous and otherwise -- of the Hamiltons and of the dedicated Italians such as Fiorelli and Spinazzola who eventually brought systematic order to the digs. As a pictorial reinforcement to the text the book presents a display of views and overviews reconstructions and artistic interpretations line drawings and etchings engravings vintage photography and contemporary photographs. .

De La Bedoyere, Guy
ROMAN BRITAIN A New History
London: Thames & Hudson. Near Fine. 2010. Softcover. 0500287481 . DJ in mylar. ; In this lively authoritative new account of Britain as a Roman province Guy de la Bédoyère puts the Roman conquest and occupation of the island within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned. Following introductory chapters outlining events from the Iron Age period to the emperor Honorius' advice to the Britons in 410 to fend for themselves the author tackles the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army including the role of government and the military in the province religion commerce technology and day-to-day life both in towns and in the countryside. The narrative is brought vividly to life by quotations from inscriptions found on tombstones and buildings and the writings of historians such as Tacitus and Dio. The text is supplemented throughout by box features devoted to topics ranging from the Roman city of London and the building of Hadrian's Wall to discoveries such as the Vindolanda writing tablets and the treasure hoards found at Mildenhall and Thetford. Roman Britain is lavishly illustrated with over 290 illustrations many in color including reconstruction drawings by the author. Dramatic aerial views of the remains of Roman forts such as Housesteads and Vindolanda along Hadrian's Wall and the Saxon Shore fort of Portchester are also featured. The book incorporates the latest discoveries including the remains of a stadium recently uncovered in Colchester by the author and a team of archaeologists. 294 illustrations 77 in color. ; 288 pages .

Some minor pencilling. ; The first section of this volume examines the Persian empire the regions it comprised and its expansion under Cyrus Darius and Xerxes. In Greece Sparta attained maturity as the leader of a military coalition and Athens passed through a period of enlightened tyranny to a moderate democracy of dynamic energy and intelligence. Given the contrast between Greek idealism and Persian absolutism a clash between the two empires was inevitable. Important chapters deal with the revolt of Ionian Greeks against the Persians and the two Persian invasions of Greece including epic battles at Marathon Tthermopylae and Salamis. The book's third part turns to the Western Mediterranean: Italy becomes a significant factor in the area's historical development and is explored in terms of its peoples and languages from the Bronze to the Iron Ages. ; Cambridge Ancient History Series; Vol. 4; 6.75 X 2.75 X 9.25 inches; 946 pages .

MILETOS THE ORNAMENT OF IONIA A History of the City to 400 B.C.E.
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 047211199X . Very light edgewear to DJ with 1 tiny chip. ; 320 pages; Situated on the southwest coast of modern Turkey Miletos stood for centuries as one of the paramount cities in the Hellenic world a gateway between the East and West. It became especially famous as the most prolific mother city in Greek history sending out at least forty-five known primary and secondary settlements into the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea while at home developing into an intellectual and artistic center and one of the birthplaces of Western science and philosophy. A history of Miletos is long overdue. Despite the significance of this city in antiquity and the important results of ongoing excavations there the last full-scale discussion of Miletos was written in 1915. In Miletos the Ornament of Ionia Vanessa B. Gorman provides the first and only modern integrated history of the city collecting and scrutinizing sources about Miletos for the period stretching from the first signs of habitation until 400 B. C. E. This book reviews the archaeological evidence for the physical city demonstrates the likelihood of both Minoan and Mycenaean settlements there and substantiates the fact of the Persian destruction and refoundation of Miletos along orthogonal lines. With insight and diligence Gorman surveys the cults known to have existed during this period; traces the political progress of the city through monarchy oligarchy tyranny and democracy; and sketches the terms of its subjugation under the Persians and later the Athenians. Providing a detailed and up-to-date account of the development of one of the major urban centers of Asia Minor Gorman's book will engage classicists historians and Near Eastern specialists. .

BLACK ATHENA REVISITED
The University of North Carolina Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0807845558 . Very minor shelfwear. ; 544 pages; Was Western civilization founded by ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians Can the ancient Egyptians usefully be called black Did the ancient Greeks borrow religion science and philosophy from the Egyptians and Phoenicians Have scholars ignored the Afroasiatic roots of Western civilization as a result of racism and anti-Semitism In this collection of twenty essays leading scholars in a broad range of disciplines confront the claims made by Martin Bernal in Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization. In that work Bernal proposed a radical reinterpretation of the roots of classical civilization contending that ancient Greek culture derived from Egypt and Phoenicia and that European scholars have been biased against the notion of Egyptian and Phoenician influence on Western civilization. The contributors to this volume argue that Bernal's claims are exaggerated and in many cases unjustified. Topics covered include race and physical anthropology; the question of an Egyptian invasion of Greece; the origins of Greek language philosophy and science; and racism and anti-Semitism in classical scholarship. In the conclusion to the volume the editors propose an entirely new scholarly framework for understanding the relationship between the cultures of the ancient Near East and Greece and the origins of Western civilization. .
