McCormick, Michael
Eternal Victory: Triumphal Rulership in Late Antiquity, Byzantium and the Early Medieval West
"As the Roman empire declined and 'fell', contemporary glorification of the emperor's triumphal rulership reached new heights, strewing traces of the empire's perennial victory across the physical and mental landscape of late antiquity. In this, the first comprehensive study of how a great imperial ceremony actually developed and how it influenced both the eastern and western heirs to the Roman legacy, the Roman triumph's resurgence and afterlife is documented from the Tetrarchy to the end of the Macedonian dynasty in Byzantium and to Charlemagne's successors in the early medieval West. This perspective shows that celebrations of the ruler's victory experienced unceasing change in ritual form and content and that these changes mirrored broader trends in the development of society and the monarchy. At the same time, it casts new light on the late Roman origins of the trappings of early medieval kingship. Far from the imperial capital, the cult of triumphal rulership permeated local elites, as commanders in the provinces imitated the supreme victor by staging triumphs of their own, and the new Germanic kings followed suit. Classicists, medievalists, Byzantinists, specialists of art and ritual will find here new data and approaches to a central problem in the transformation of the Roman Empire which culminated in the new civilization by Byzantium and the Germanic Kingdoms." 454p. bibliography.index Neat crisp copy.

THE OCTOBER HORSE A Novel of Caesar and Cleoparta
NY: Simon & Schuster. Near Fine in As New dust jacket. 2002. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0684853310 . Publisher's black cloth over red boards gilt lettering on spine. Maps on endpapers. Illustrated with B&W portraits and maps by the author. Includes extensive Glossary. This is the sixth volume in Colleen McCullough's massive Roman epic "The Masters of Rome" a life of Gaius Julius Caesar covering not only his career but also the periods immediately before and after Caesar. McCullough's seven books in her "Masters of Rome" series are perhaps the finest historical novels based on Roman history that have ever been produced and provide the reader with unequalled absorption into Roman life suspense excitement and minutely accurate Roman history. In this sixth volume Gaius Julius Caesar is at the height of his stupendous career. When he becomes embroiled in a civil war between Egypt's King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra he finds himself torn between the fascinations of a remarkable woman and his duty as a Roman. Though he must leave Cleopatra she remains a force in his life as a lover and as the mother of his only son. Caesar now dictator of Rome is determined not to be worshipped as a god nor to be crowned king but his unique circumstances make it appear otherwise. Caesar's enemies masquerading as friends plot to destroy him. Among these traitors are his cousin Marc Antony the jealous Gaius Cassius and his long-time mistress Servilia's son Marcus Brutus. All of them owe everything to Caesar and all betray him. With her extraordinary knowledge of Roman history Colleen McCullough brings Caesar to life as no one has ever done before. She surrounds him with an enormous and vivid cast of historical characters characters like Cleopatra who call to us from beyond the centuries for McCullough's genius is to make them live again.

McIlvaine, Charles; Leiser, Joseph; Straus, Oscar S; Root, Elihu; White, Andrew Dickson; Krauskopf, Joseph [Listed Speakers]
UNVEILING AND CONSECRATION OF THE JOHN HAY MEMORIAL WINDOW AT THE TEMPLE OF THE REFORM CONGREGATION KENESETH ISRAEL [EVENT PROGRAM]
1st edition. Original paper wrappers with glossy interior. 8vo. 6 pages, 25 cm. In English. A full program for the dedication of a large stain glass window to former Secretary of State John Hay. John Milton Hay (18381905) was a U.S. statesman who supported Romanian and Russian Jewish rights. Hay was a secretary of state under presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt from 1898 until his death in 1905. He was involved in U.S. diplomatic representations during this period on behalf of Romanian and Russian Jews. In 1902, at the urging of American Jewish leaders including Oscar S. Straus and Jacob H. Schiff, Hay addressed a note to the signatories of the Berlin Treaty of 1878 protesting Romania's violation of that treaty by its restrictions on Jews. Following the Kishinev pogrom of 1903, again after Jewish pressure and with an eye to domestic political considerations, Hay publicized a protest petition drawn up by B'nai B'rith. Oscar Straus, one of the speakers, was appointed to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague under President Theodore Roosevelt. He would be reappointed by President Roosevelt in 1908, President Taft in 1912, and President Wilson in 1920. Straus made history in 1906 when he became the first Jewish cabinet member after being appointed by Roosevelt as Secretary of Commerce and Labor. He also participated at the Paris Peace Conference, advising President Wilson on the interests of European Jewry. Elihu Root, another of the speakers, served as the Secretary of State under President Theodore Roosevelt and as Secretary of War under Roosevelt and President William McKinley. He is sometimes considered to be the prototype of the 20th century political wise man, advising presidents on a range of foreign and domestic issues
.Root was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1912. Andrew Dickson White, another speaker, was an American historian and educator, who was the cofounder of Cornell University and served as its first president for nearly two decades
.He was later appointed as a US diplomat to Germany and Russia (Wikipedia, 2018). Published as part of the series Sunday discourses by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf featuring text of addresses from the event. "Presented by Rabbi Krauskopf" noted on front cover in pencil. Congregation Keneseth Israel is the sixth oldest Reform Jewish synagogue in the United States, beginning in Philadelphia in 1847 (Wikipedia, 2018). SUBJECTS: American Jewry. OCLC lists 7 copies worldwide (OCLC:18098188). Some pencil on front wrapper. Slight fading of images on wrapper. Very Good Condition. (AMR-54-3-BDXZ)

An Experience of Finland
London: Hurst & Company 1993. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 164 pages. Index. "A very personal book in which the author explains how his interests in Finland have developed in parallel with the transformation of the country from a pre-war agrarian economy to a modern welfare state with an advanced technological basee. An interpretation of the landscape is accompanied by a description of the features - often peculiar to Finland - that stir the five senses. Illustrates more familiar topics with a mass of 'unconsidered trifles' - a diary here a manuscript there; an idea here a critical observation there - to produce an unusual and often intimate picture of the country and its people." - from dust jacket.
