Roller, Matthew B.
CONSTRUCTING AUTOCRACY Aristocrats and Emperors in Julio-Claudian Rome.
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 069105021X . Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham. Light pencil marginalia to a few pages. Very light bump to top of spine. Minor creasing along top edge of DJ. ; Rome's transition from a republican system of government to an imperial regime comprised more than a century of civil upheaval and rapid institutional change. Yet the establishment of a ruling dynasty centered around a single leader came as a cultural and political shock to Rome's aristocracy who had shared power in the previous political order. How did the imperial regime manage to establish itself and how did the Roman elites from the time of Julius Caesar to Nero make sense of it In this compelling book Matthew Roller reveals a "dialogical" process at work in which writers and philosophers vigorously negotiated and contested the nature and scope of the emperor's authority despite the consensus that he was the ultimate authority figure in Roman society. Roller seeks evidence for this "thinking out" of the new order in a wide range of republican and imperial authors with an emphasis on Lucan and Seneca the Younger. He shows how elites assessed the impact of the imperial system on traditional aristocratic ethics and examines how several longstanding authority relationships in Roman society--those of master to slave father to son and gift-creditor to gift-debtor--became competing models for how the emperor did or should relate to his aristocratic subjects. By revealing this ideological activity to be not merely reactive but also constitutive of the new order Roller contributes to ongoing debates about the character of the Roman imperial system and about the "politics" of literature. ; 296 pages; Signed by Author .

Suetonius is presented as a man of learning rather than as a failed narrative historian.

Millar Fergus
THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Minor shelfwear book is fine. DJ has 3 small holes to foreedges. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Princeton University Press. Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0691069875 . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Underlining in pen to pages. Small stain to top of front panel of DJ. A few scratches to back panel of DJ . ; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private family and outsiders work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor man and woman master and slave What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman." ; 244 pages .

Light creasing to a couple of corners. ; In this book third in a series which includes Jacques Le Goff's Medieval Characters and Eugenio Garin's Renaissance Portraits leading scholars search for the character of the ancient Romans through portraits of Rome's most typical personages. Essays on the politician the soldier the priest the farmer the slave the merchant and others together create a fresco of Roman society as it spanned 1300 years. Synthesizing a wealth of current research The Romans surveys the most complex society ever to exist prior to the Industrial Age. Searching out the identity of the ancient Roman the contributors describe an urbane figure at odds with his rustic peers known for his warlike nature and his love of virtue his magnanimity to foreigners and his predilection for cutting off his enemies' heads. Most important perhaps of the themes explored throughout this volume are those of freedom and slavery of citizenship and humanitas. What results from the depictions Roman society through time and across its many constituent cultures is the variety of Roman identity in all its richness and depth. These masterful essays will engage the general reader as well as the specialist in history and culture. ; 404 pages . University Of Chicago Press paperback

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear with creasing along upper edge. ; Roman Imperial Biographies; 0.95 x 9.43 x 6.38 Inches; 271 pages; Augustus the heir to Julius Caesar was the guiding light in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. In this biography Pat Southern traces the life and works of the emperor chronologically presenting idealogy and events as they occurred from Augustus' point of view including his transition from heir and successor of Julius Caesar to head of the new Principate and his development of the Roman Empire. Augustus did not have a master plan of politics and legislation but instead he had to wait and occasionally change course before he settled on a version of government that the Senate and people found acceptable. While there have been many books covering the political social and aesthetic culture of the Augustan Age this is the first book to present the life of Augustus the man. . Routledge hardcover

Feldherr, Andrew
SPECTACLE AND SOCIETY IN LIVY'S HISTORY
University of California Press. Very Good. 1998. Paperback. 0520210271 . Light shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Minor creasing to spine. ; Public spectacle--from the morning rituals of the Roman noble to triumphs and the shows of the Arena--formed a crucial component of the language of power in ancient Rome. The historian Livy c. 60 B. C. E. -17 C. E. who provides our fullest description of Rome's early history presents his account of the growth of the Roman state itself as something to be seen--a visual monument and public spectacle. Through analysis of several episodes in Livy's History Andrew Feldherr demonstrates the ways in which Livy uses specific visual imagery to make the reader not only an observer of certain key events in Roman history but also a participant in those events. This innovative study incorporates recent literary and cultural theory with detailed historical analysis to put an ancient text into dialogue with contemporary discussions of visual culture. In Spectacle and Society in Livy's History Feldherr shows how Livy uses the literary representation of spectacles from the Roman past to construct a new sense of civic identity among his readers. He offers a new way of understanding how Livy's technique addressed the political and cultural needs of Roman citizens in Livy's day. In addition to renewing our understanding of Livy through modern scholarship Feldherr provides a new assessment of the historian's aims and methods by asking what it means for the historian to make readers spectators of history. ; 250 pages .
