Galinsky Karl
AUGUSTAN CULTURE An Interpretive Introduction
Princeton University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. Hardcover. 069104435X . very light shelfwear to book. DJ has faint edgewear. ; Grand political accomplishment and artistic productivity were the hallmarks of Augustus Caesar's reign 31 B. C. To A. D. 14 which has served as a powerful model of achievement for societies throughout Western history. Although much research has been done on individual facets of Augustan culture Karl Galinsky's book is the first in decades to present a unified overview one that brings together political and social history art literature architecture and religion. Weaving analysis and narrative throughout a richly illustrated text Galinsky provides not only an enjoyable account of the major ideas of the age but also an interpretation of the creative tensions and contradictions that made for its vitality and influence. Galinsky draws on source material ranging from coins and inscriptions to the major works of poetry and art and challenges the schematic concepts and dichotomies that have commonly been applied to Augustan culture. He demonstrates that this culture was neither monolithic nor the mere result of one man's will. Instead it was a nuanced process of evolution and experimentation. Augustan culture had many contributors as Galinsky demonstrates and their dynamic interactions resulted in a high point of creativity and complexity that explains the transcendence of the Augustan age. Far from being static its sophisticated literary and artistic monuments call for the active response and involvement of the reader and viewer even today. ; 496 pages .

Fagan, Garrett G.
BATHING IN PUBLIC IN THE ROMAN WORLD
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0472108190 . Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear; 1.25 x 9.57 x 6.47 Inches; 437 pages; For Romans bathing was a social event. Public baths in fact were one of the few places where large numbers of Romans gathered daily in an informal context. They went to meet friends drink wine pick up sexual partners and generally while away the idle afternoon hours. Despite the disapproval of the morally superior the popularity of the baths endured for over a millennium and spread to every corner of the Roman world. This book is the first to study the Roman public bathing experience primarily as a historical social and cultural phenomenon rather than a technological or architectural one. As a result many issues are developed here that have to date been addressed only superficially. Fagan reconstructs what a trip to a Roman bath was like. He asks when and why the baths became popular at Rome who built and maintained the abundant bathing establishments and what sociological function the baths played in the Roman empire's rigidly hierarchical social order. To throw light on these everyday topics the author deploys a wide variety of evidence including literary allusions; the remains of the baths themselves graffiti scribbled on bathroom walls; and above all formal inscriptions that throw light on the ubiquitous bathing culture. In the course of this study Fagan challenges some widely held beliefs about baths ranging from such broad notions of baths as palaces of public hygiene or places where the social identity of the bathers broke down to more mundane matters such as the habitual donning of bathing costumes. This volume will be of great interest for those studying luxury and public ostentation municipal life and the meaning of Roman leisure. Comparative evidence from other bathing cultures will also interest social anthropologists and historical sociologists. Garret Fagan is Assistant Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Pennsylvania State University. . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Farney, Gary D.
ETHNIC IDENTITY AND ARISTOCRATIC COMPETITION IN REPUBLICAN ROME
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 2007. Softcover. 0521151805 . Xx 337pp. The ancient Romans are usually thought of as a monolithic ethnic group though in fact they formed a self-consciously pluralistic society. In this book Gary D. Farney explores how senators from Rome's Republican period celebrated and manipulated their ethnic identity to get ahead in Rome's political culture. He examines how politicians from these lands tried to advertise positive aspects of their ethnic identity how others tried to re-create a negative identity into something positive and how ethnic identity advertisement developed over the course of Republican history. Finally in an epilogue Farney addresses how the various Italic identities coalesced into a singular Italian identity in the Empire and how Rome's experience with Italic groups informed how it perceived other groups such as Gauls Germans and Greeks. ; 337 pages .

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 .
