‎Gelzer, Mattias‎

‎CAESAR Politician and Statesman‎

‎Harvard University Press. Good in Good dust jacket. 1969. Hardcover. Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. Tape stains to boards. DJ has edgewear with minor chipping. ; In 1912 a young scholar published a slim volume investigating the social structure of the late Roman Republic which was in due course to transform the study of Roman history. The author Professor Gelzer went on to hold the Chair of Ancient History at Frankfurt and to become the greatest German-speaking historian of the Roman Republic since Mommsen. In 1921 he published his Caesar which has by now gone through six editions in Germany and is still the standard account in any language of Caesar and his age. It amply fulfills the author's intent "to give the educated public a lively picture of the complete political career of one of the great statesmen of the past. " Based on a conscientious evaluation of the abundant source materials--primarily the writings of Caesar and his contemporaries--Professor Gelzer's portrait renders Caesar in heroic proportions destined and determined from the beginning to overthrow a corrupt aristocracy. The sixth edition 1960 brought up to date and provided with full annotations by the author is the basis of this translation which for the first time makes the work available in English. With Professor Gelzer's approval some minor errors have been corrected both in the text and in the chronological table and the map at the end of the book and an analytical index of names has been added. ; 0.85 x 9.01 x 6.06 Inches; 368 pages .

Corner creasing to 1 page. ; Sather Classical Lectures 43; 222 pages; "Technical progress economic growth productivity even efficiency have not been significant goals since the beginning of time " declares M. I. Finley in his classic work. The states of the ancient Mediterranean world had no recognizable real-property market never fought a commercially inspired war witnessed no drive to capital formation and assigned the management of many substantial enterprises to slaves and ex-slaves. In short to study the economies of the ancient world one must begin by discarding many premises that seemed self-evident before Finley showed that they were useless or misleading. These sagacious fertile and occasionally combative essays are just as electrifying today as when Finley first wrote them. . University of California Press paperback‎

Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; This brief and compressed study comprises twelve self-contained chapters and begins by proposing a revised chronology for several works of Ovid. The central theme is Roman social history in the time of Caesar Augustus revealing Ovid in his milieu and in the ambit of his friendships. Attention is concentrated on the poems from exile especially the four books of Epistulae ex Ponto which reveal much more than previously suspected about the last decade of the reign of Augustus. Finally writing on Ovid's exile Syme argues that it was not the result of a misdemeanour by the poet but the blunder of an angry despot-- the error of Caesar Augustus. ; 240 pages .

‎IMPERIAL IDEOLOGY AND PROVINCIAL LOYALTY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE‎

‎University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0520220676 . Small remainder mark to base of textblock black dot. Lower corners bumped. ; xxi 494pp.; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world it did not. Rather its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question Why did the Roman empire fall Rather he asks Why did the empire last so long Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified. This consensus was itself the product of a complex conversation between the central government and its far-flung peripheries. Ando investigates the mechanisms that sustained this conversation explores its contribution to the legitimation of Roman power and reveals as its product the provincial absorption of the forms and content of Roman political and legal discourse. Throughout his sophisticated and subtle reading is informed by current thinking on social formation by theorists such as Max Weber Jrgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu. .
