‎THE FOUNDATION OF ROME Myth and History‎

‎Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 080143114X . Top corners lightly bumped. Light general soiling. ; 9.5 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 236 pages; "The Foundation of Rome is one of the few intelligent books on the subject neither hypercritical nor visionary; its particular strength lies in the skillful interweaving of modern historiography and ideology with ancient history. "--Jerzy Linderski University of North Carolina. At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks for example at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth. Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating and he writes with clarity verve and wit. .

‎Grandhomme, Jean-Noel (dir.)‎

‎1866, une querelle d'Allemands? Perceptions croisées et mémoire(s) dun moment clé de lhistoire européenne. / Convergences ; Vol. 91.‎

‎Bruxelles ; Bern ; Berlin ; Frankfurt am Main ; Wien : Peter Lang, 2018. 401 S. Originalbroschur.‎

‎Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - De juin à août 1866, une guerre fratricide (Deutscher Krieg ou Deutscher Bruderkrieg) oppose l?Empire d?Autriche, suivi par la plus grande partie de la Confédération germanique, au royaume de Prusse, allié à une quinzaine de petits États allemands et au royaume d?Italie. Étape décisive de l?unification de l?Allemagne, parachevée par la guerre contre la France en 1870, le conflit de 1866 est lourd de conséquences pour la suite de l?histoire européenne. On le présente souvent comme le triomphe d?une Allemagne protestante marquée par le militarisme et l?autoritarisme d?une Prusse agressive et expansionniste sur une germanité méridionale catholique, censée davantage cultiver le goût des arts que celui des armes. Cette vision simpliste a cependant fait l?objet de multiples révisions. En même temps, ce conflit forme une partie intégrante du processus d?unification de l?Italie. Après avoir retracé les faits, sans doute pour la première fois de manière aussi détaillée en français, cet ouvrage s?intéresse à la perception des événements par les puissances européennes, mais aussi par les acteurs et spectateurs locaux, ainsi qu?à ses multiples conséquences proches ou lointaines, abordant finalement la mémoire de cette guerre.

‎THE ANTONINES The Roman Empire in Transition‎

‎Routledge. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0415138140 . Some edgewear to wraps. Shelfwear. ; 0.87 x 9.21 x 6.22 Inches; 210 pages; The Roman Empire was an achievement of startling proportions. In its size alone it extended from the Atlantic to the Euphrates and from the Rhine to Danube all the way to the Sahara. In many ways as the global question of emerging national identities persists and attempts at multinational unity fail Rome's vast empire becomes an extremely relevant historical lesson. In The Antonines the eminent historian of classical history Michael Grant examines the vital role played by the Antonines in the development and expansion of the Roman Empire. He surveys that period's renowned contributions to the arts discussing at length Marcus Aurelius's Meditations perhaps one of the greatest literary products of the classical world. He suggests that the Antonines occasioned a major transition in Roman life politics and that the period over which they presided witnessed extraordinary changes that heralded a new epoch to many. The Antonines he argues were singularly responsible for ushering the Roman Empire from the ancient world to the early Medieval. Grant examines the political dynamics that brought about these changes analyzing such issues as the role of "adoption" the policy of choosing Emperors who were not direct descendants of the throne. He profiles the individuals who made up the Antonines: of Antoninus Pius an altogether understudied figure who curiously bequeathed his position to two men particularly unfit to rule his vast and efficacious regime; Marcus Aurelius an avid militarist who could oddly find the time to write one of the best works of Roman literature known to date; Commodus and his abandonment of imperial ambitions in what is presently Germany and the implications it had on the decline of the Empire as well as his emphasis on monotheism within the terms of Roman religion. Grant's historical analysis provides a thorough and above all high-minded look at this often neglected yet critical period in the Roman Empire--a period that not only illuminates the processes of dramatic transformation but presents a point of comparison to the current historical circumstance as well. .

‎THE CLIMAX OF ROME‎

‎London: Weidenfeld. As New with no dust jacket. 1993. Reprint. 1. Soft Cover. 0297813919 . Publisher's glossy wraps. 299 pp. 12mo. Illustrated with numerous B&W photographs. This is a new unopened copy in perfect pristine condition. AS NEW. The period from the accession of Marcus Aurelius in AD 161 to the death of Constantine in 337 is often seen as little more than a protracted interval between the glories of the ancient world and the genesis of medieval Europe. Michael Grant's landmark study shows a much more creative picture: for despite internal strife and wars along vast frontiers there was a stupendous military achievement which preserved the Empire for several centuries. This overall stability allowed Roman civilization to flourish combining "an artistic literary spiritual and political brilliance with unparalleled lavishness".

‎THE TWELVE CAESARS‎

‎NY: Charles Scribner's Sons. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1975. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0684144026 . First Printing full number line. Publisher's full black cloth gilt lettering on spine. 8vo. xi i 282 pp. llustrated with 38 black & white photographs on 16 pages and four maps. Includes Notes; Bibliography; Genealogical Tables; Dates of the Twelve Caesars; Dates of Subsequent Emperors; and Index. "The personalities of the Twelve Caesars at Rome Julius Caesar and the first eleven Roman emperors who followed him have profoundly impressed themselves upon the world. In this classic example of the unique blend of scholarship and readability that has made him one of the most popular authors of ancient history Michael Grant penetrates the fog of rumor and speculation surrounding these dynamic leaders and explores the biographer Suetonius' claims about their sexual abnormalities and other aberrations." "The Twelve Caesars bore the perilous responsibility of governing an empire comparable in its magnitude to the United States today. It is a timeless concern of mankind to measure the power that such men and their advisors wield. For example are we justified after a study of Tacitus in applying to the Roman Caesars Lord Acton's saying that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" This is one of a number of questions relating to their exercise of authority that Michael Grant endeavors to answer in this timeless work. "Michael Grant one of the world's greatest writers on ancient history has been a Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge; Professor of Humanities at the University of Edinburgh; President and Vice-Chancellor of the Queen's University Belfast; Vice-Chancellor of the University of Khartoum; and President of the Classical Association and the Virgil Society.

‎Norman Granz presents Jazz: Kid Ory and his Creole Jazz Band. Starring: Henry Red Allen. Programmheft.‎

‎Horst Lippmann, 1959. 8 S.; Text und Abb.; kart.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; der illustrierte Einband leicht berieben; kl. Fehlstelle; innen Seiten lose. - Der (kurze) biographische Text über Kid Ory in drei Sprachen: deutsch; englisch und französisch. // IMPRESSUM: This book was produced for Kid Ory's European Tour Fall 1959 by Horst Lippmann Graphic Work and Design: Hans Michel + Günther Kieser. // Der 73jährige Kid Ory ist mehr als "nur" einer der wenigen, noch lebenden, echten Pioniere des Jazz aus New Orleans. Er ist einer der wirklichen Großen der Jazzgeschichte, dessen schöpferischer Beitrag, neben der Erschließung der Posaune für die Improvisation, bis in unsere Zeit spürbar geblieben ist. Ory leitete die erste künstlerisch bedeutungsvolle Band der Jazzgeschichte. Aus seinen "Creole Jazz Bands" gingen solche bedeutende Musiker wie King Oliver, Papa Mutt Carey und .... Louis Armstrong hervor (der bei Ory sein erstes professionelles Engagement hatte). Ory's Creole Jazz Band war auch das erste farbige Ensemble, das Schallplatten-Aufnahmen machen konnte (1921). Mit King Oliver, Louis Armstrong und Jelly Roll Morton ist Kid Ory Träger jener Jazz-Epoche, die das "Golden Age of Jazz" heißt (1923-1929). Sein "tailgate"-Posaunenstil ist bis heute wesentlichstes Stilmerkmal des Dixieland-Jazz geblieben. // Besetzung : Kid Ory, trombone - Henry Red Allen, trumpet - Bob McCracken, clarinet - Cedric Haywood, piano - Squire Gersh, bass - Alton Redd, drums. // Song of the Wanderer - Tailgate Ramble - Mahogany Hall Stomp - Baby won't you please come home - St. Louis Blues - Sheik of Araby - Tiger Rag - Memphis Blues - .Four or five times - Washington and Lee Swing - Basin Street Blues - Dippermouth Blues - South - Down in jungle town - Muskat Ramble - Original Dixieland Onestep - Oh, didn't he Ramble - Savoy Blues - Maryland, my Maryland - Creole Song - The Saints - Milenberg joys - Twelfth Street Rag. // Innen mit Werbung von Braun (Radio- und Phonogeräte) und Verve Records (Old Time).‎
