‎ILLUSTRATIONS OF OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY‎

‎Wraps a little rubbed. Light shelfwear. ; 91pp, illustrated. Thanks to a great tradition of study and research, we are in this country extremely fortunate to have been able to assemble over the years, and thereby preserve in the British Museum a remarkable number of items from various sources throwing a direct light on the historical events mirrored in the pages of the Hebrew Bible. They are, of course, only a portion of all the material of this kind which exists, much being found in museums in other countries, which the student of the subject will find described elsewhere. In this book we attempt to relate the selection of material more or less to particular historical events. The relation has not been absolutely strict. Such matters of selection are inevitably difficult, and in the last resort, depend on professional preferences. [From the Foreword]; 91 pages‎

‎HOUSES AND SOCIETY IN POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM‎

‎Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Underlining in pen to pages. Small stain to top of front panel of DJ. A few scratches to back panel of DJ . ; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture, he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private, family and outsiders, work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures, Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor, man and woman, master and slave? What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form? How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure? How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers? Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses, Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy, and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman." ; 244 pages‎
