Faint creasing to wraps at corners. ; Isbn: 9090236791 Text in English; summary in Dutch. ; Proefschrift Diss. ; 339 pages; Elagabalus 218-222 AB is one of the most peculiar emperors to have occupied the Roman throne. During his short reign this remarkable ruler carried through some unprecedented reforms in Roman state religion. He put Elagabal the sun god of the Syrian town of Emesa at the head of the Roman pantheon and presented himself as the god's high priest on coins and in inscriptions. In March 222 AD Elagabalus was killed by praetorians His memory was condemned by the senate his images destroyed.Images of Elagabalus attempts to reconstruct and explain the events of the period in partuclar the elevation of Elagabal to supreme Roman deity. Consequently it looks at the different images of the priest-emperor which have been generated throughout the ages; first by the imperial administration itself then by ancient and Byzantine authors and finally by scholars literary authors and artists from the Renaissance up to the present. .

One small chip to DJ else Fine. ; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 1.57 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 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. .

‎URSUPATOR TANTI NOMINIS Kaiser Und Ursupator in Der Spatantike 337-476 N. Chr.‎

‎Franz Steiner Verlag. Fine with no dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 3515096361 . Historia - Einzelschriften 210; 458 pages; English summary: The Roman Empire knew no institutionalized process that governed the transfer of power at the head of the empire. A change of government thus often led to crisis situations. Joachim Szidat examines elevations and usurpations of emperors in late antiquity after 337 through to the end of the western Empire in 476. Moreover he illuminates the time of the tetrarchy and the early Byzantine era up through the middle of the 6th Century. Starting from the analysis of individual cases of exemplary transfers of power the author works out the general processes in the seizure of power and their political and social circumstances and conditions. As crucial for the transfer and assurance of rule appears to be the role of the new political leadership particularly emphasizing the great importance of civilian dignitaries that developed during the rule of Constantine. The usurpation therefore constituted a political rather than military problem: the new claimant to power had to be recognized. German text. German description: Die romische Kaiserzeit kannte kein institutionalisiertes Verfahren das die Ubergabe der Macht an der Spitze des Reiches regelte. Ein Wechsel der Herrschaft fuhrte daher haufig zu Krisensituationen. Joachim Szidat untersucht Kaisererhebungen und Usurpationen in der Spatantike nach 337 bis zum Ende des Kaisertums im Westen 476. Ausserdem beleuchtet er die Zeit der Tetrarchie und die fruhbyzantische Epoche bis in die Mitte des 6. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehend von der Analyse exemplarischer Einzelfalle arbeitet der Autor die generellen Ablaufe bei der Machtubernahme sowie ihre politischen und gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen heraus. Als entscheidend fur die Weitergabe und Sicherung der Herrschaft erscheint dabei die Rolle der sich seit Konstantin bildenden neuen Fuhrungsschicht mit der grossen Bedeutung der zivilen Wurdentrager. Die Usurpation stellte daher eher ein politisches als ein militarisches Problem dar: Der Pratendent musste Anerkennung finden. . Franz Steiner Verlag hardcover‎

‎BEYOND POPULARES AND OPTIMATES Political Language in the Late Republic‎

‎Franz Steiner Verlag. Fine with no dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 3515096434 . Historia - Einzelschriften 213; 225 pages; Modern interpretations of the late Roman Republic have been dominated by the twin concepts of 'populares' and 'optimates' commonly assumed to refer to two antithetical political categories. However the definition of these groups is much debated: some historians see them as ideological movements or traditions others as differences of political style and method. This book asks whether this debate may in fact be chasing a mirage. Through a detailed analysis of the usage of the two terms in Cicero and his close contemporaries it is argued that they carried no clear political meaning. What emerges instead is a political language focused on the elite's fundamental concerns about internal divisions and the maintenance of aristocratic consensus. . Franz Steiner Verlag hardcover‎
