MARCUS AURELIUS A Biography. Revised Edition
Routledge. Very Good. 1993. Revised Edition. Softcover. 0713454296 . Spine is sunned. A bit of edgewear to corners of front wrap. ; Marcus Aurelius the philosopher-emperor who ruled the Roman Empire between AD 161 and 180 is one of the best recorded individuals from antiquity. Even his face became more than usually familiar: the imperial coinage displayed his portrait for over 40 years from the clean-shaven young heir of Antonius to the war-weary heavily bearded ruler who died at his post in his late fifties. His correspondence with his tutor Fronto and even more the private notebook he kept for his last ten years the Meditations provides a unique series of vivid and revealing glimpses into the character and peoccupations of this emporer who spent many years in terrible wars against northern tribes. In this accessible and scholarly study Professor Birley paints a portrait of an emporer who was human and just - an embodiment of the pagan virtues of Rome. ; Roman Imperial Biographies; 320 pages .

According to the DJ "Fleeing from the great Irish potato famine in the 1840's they found themselves virtually penniless in the slums of New York and Boston where they were regarded ans an 'invasion' and a curse forced to accept the humiliation of notices which said 'No Irish Need Apply' and to find employment at tasks which even the emerging Blacks considered too degrading to perform. . Here in this engrossing and often hilarious book we read of how the Irish or at least some Irish emerged--frequently in less than a generation's time--out of poverty into positions of both social and business prominence."

VITA VIGILIA EST Essays in Honour of Barbara Levick
Institute of Classical Studies. Fine. 2008. Softcover. 1905670141 . Institute of Classical Studies Bulletin Supplement 97; 193 pages; The new millennium sees both Pliny the Elder and his massive encyclopaedic Natural History being studied more seriously and holistically than at any time in the preceding century. The essays in this volume which honour the seminal work of Barbara Levick on the politics and society of imperial Rome above all in the period of Plinys life and literary activity further this re-assessment. They consider aspects of Plinys life and output which have not so far received serious attention. These include his value as a source for the kings of Rome and their achievements; his attitude to astronomy and natural wonders to gentilician commemoration philosophical sects Roman dress and coinage; and his moral judgements on the fall of the Republic. The essays consider the ideological climate of the Flavian period as reflected not only in Plinys attitude to the past but in his construction of Rome and Italy and his relationship to contemporary writers like Licinius Mucianus. Pliny emerges clearly as a major literary and cultural figure of the early Empire. . Institute of Classical Studies paperback
