‎THE IMPERIAL ROMAN ARMY‎

‎Hippocrene Books. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0781802598 . Bumping to lower corners. Book and Dustjacket have minor shelfwear. ; The Emperor Augustus believed that the Roman army occupied a crucial place at the heart of the empire and it was he who made it a fully professional force. This book looks at the structure and development of the army between the Republic and the Late Empire examining why the army has always been accorded such a prominent position in the history of the Roman Empire and whether that view is justified. The book is divided into three sections. The author first examines the major divisions of army organization - the legions the auxiliary units the fleet - and how the men were recruited. Secondly he looks at what the army did - the training tactics and strategy. Finally he considers the historical role of the army - how it fitted into Roman society of which it was only part and what influence it had economically and politically. In exploring these themes the author gives equal weight to epigraphic documentary and archaeological evidence. With tables summarizing detailed information Yann Le Bohec provides a synthesis of current knowledge of the Roman army from the first to the third century AD putting it in its context as part of the state structure of the Roman Empire. ; 9.75 x 1.25 x 6.75 Inches; 304 pages .

‎PROMISED VERSE Poets in the Society of Augustan Rome‎

‎Harvard University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 067471525X . Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; It served a poet well indeed to have Augustus for a friend. And if Augustus were a friend of poets All the better for the great glory of Roman letters. It is this arrangement complicated by questions of influence and accommodation and simple human susceptibility to the blandishments of power that Peter White explores in "Promised Verse". Combining social history and literary interpretation this book reveals the circumstances of poetic production in the golden era of Virgil Ovid Horace Tibullus and Propertius. Peter White takes a close look at the relationship between the Augustan poets and the men of wealth and status who befriended them - and rewarded their literary efforts with money gifts and the benefits of illustrious connection. These ties - between for instance Horace and Maecenas - appear as part of an elaborate system of social conventions a system of mutual advantage to poet and patron. Within this context White also considers groups and institutions - the mysterious collegium poetarum the schools of the grammarians libraries and public recitations - that helped the poet make his way and linked him to Roman society. In Augustus we see a patron comparable in many ways to his aristocratic counterparts. The Emperor sought to promote Roman literature and yet seems to have intervened only rarely in the poetry he sponsored. Contrary to a view that has been prevalent since the eighteenth century the result was not literary propaganda. Instead White shows the public poetry created by Augustan poets was as independent and inventive as the rest of their work. ; 330 pages . Harvard University Press hardcover‎

‎Philadelphia: Casemate. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 1935149067 . 238pp 8pp of plates. The war between Caesar and Pompey was one of the defining moments in Roman history. The clash between these great generals gripped the attention of their contemporaries and it has fascinated historians ever since.

In this original and perceptive study Nic Fields explores the complex often brutal world of Roman politics and the lethal rivalry of Caesar and Pompey that grew out of it. He reconsiders them as individuals and politicians and above all as soldiers. His highly readable account of this contest for power gives a vivid insight into the rise and fall of two of the greatest warlords of the ancient world. ; 238 pages . Casemate hardcover‎

‎BARBARIANS AND POLITICS AT THE COURT OF ARCADIUS‎

‎University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0520065506 . Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; With a contribution by Lee Sherry. ; Transformation of the Classical Heritage; 441 pages; The chaotic events of A. D. 395-400 marked a momentous turning point for the Roman Empire and its relationship to the barbarian peoples under and beyond its command. In this masterly study Alan Cameron proposes a complete rewriting of received wisdom concerning the social and political history of these years. Our knowledge of the period comes to us in part through Synesius of Cyrene who recorded his view of events in his De regno and De providentia. By redating these works Cameron offers a vital new interpretation of the interactions of pagans and Christians Goths and Romans. In 394/95 during the last four months of his life the emperor Theodosius I ruled as sole Augustus over a united Roman empire that had been divided between at least two emperors for most of the preceding one hundred years. Not only did the death of Theodosius set off a struggle between Roman officeholders of the two empires but it also set off renewed efforts by the barbarian Goths to sieze both territory and office. Theodosius had encouraged high-ranking Goths to enter Roman military service; thus well placed their efforts would lead to Alaric's sack of Rome in 410. Though Cameron's interest is in the particularities of events the book conveys a wonderful sense of the general time and place. Cameron's rebuttal of modern scholarship which pervades the narrative enhances the reader's engagement with the complexities of interpretation. The result is a sophisticated recounting of a period of crucial change in the Roman Empire's relationship to the non-Roman world. . University of California Press hardcover‎

‎THE RELIGION OF SENATORS IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Power and the Beyond‎

‎Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0521897246 . Bumping to top of spine. DJ has some minor edgewear with some creasing along edges. ; 270 pages; This book examines the connection between political and religious power in the pagan Roman Empire through a study of senatorial religion. Presenting a new collection of historical epigraphic prosopographic and material evidence it argues that as Augustus turned to religion to legitimize his powers senators in turn also came to negotiate their own power as well as that of the emperor partly in religious terms. In Rome the body of the senate and priesthoods helped to maintain the religious power of the senate; across the Empire senators defined their magisterial powers by following the model of emperors and by relying on the piety of sacrifice and benefactions. The ongoing participation and innovations of senators confirm the deep ability of imperial religion to engage the normative symbolic and imaginative aspects of religious life among senators. .
