2013Like new. ; Die Griechen bezogen sich in klassischer Zeit gern und häufig auf ihre Vergangenheit. Wurde jedoch in der Außenpolitik Geschichte als Argument verwendet, so schlug sich diese Strategie selten in den getroffenen Entscheidungen nieder. Um diesem Widerspruch nachzugehen, prüft Maria Osmers mit Hilfe eines kommunikationshistorischen Ansatzes, in welcher Weise und mit welcher Intention sich die Griechen in der Außenpolitik auf Vergangenes bezogen und welche Bedeutung sie den Verweisen zuschrieben. Der gewählte methodische Ansatz ermöglicht es, außenpolitische Kommunikationen in vielen unterschiedlichen Quellengattungen zu lokalisieren. Dabei zeigt sich die Vergangenheit als geeignetes Instrument, um aktuelle Interessen oder Konflikte auszuhandeln. In den aufgerufenen Erzählungen erfahren sich die Beteiligten als Abstammungsgemeinschaft. Gleichzeitig schafft die 'Geschichte' ein Koordinatensystem, in dem weiterführende Verhandlungen stattfinden können. Die Vergangenheit fungiert damit nicht für sich allein als stichhaltiges Argument, sondern chiffriert die erwünschten, eingeforderten bzw. Existenten außenpolitischen Zustände der griechischen Welt. ; Historia - Einzelschriften 226; 407 pages
2006Corners lightly bumped. A few minor stains to endpapers (toner? ). ; Les dix études rassemblées dans ce volume sont le fruit d'une table ronde organisée en 2002 à l'Institut Ausonius (CNRS - université Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3). Des spécialistes de l'Antiquité issus d'horizons divers ont été invités à étudier les pratiques de diffusion et de circulation des informations dans différentes structures étatiques qui toutes avaient à assurer l'expression et l'efficacité de leur pouvoir auprès de leurs administrations locales. L'optique choisie permet de jeter un regard croisé sur le développement de ces réseaux de communication dans des époques, des régions et des conditions très différentes (empire néo-assyrien, royaumes hellénistiques, cités grecques, empire romain et monde chrétien). Les différentes enquêtes abordent des thèmes majeurs et récurrents tels que les codes de communication, la production et les vecteurs de l'information, sa conservation et son archivage. ; Ausonius Éditions Études 14; 228 pages
2006Strabo of Amasia, a Greek geographer of the Augusto-Tiberian period, collected his observations of the Roman world of his time in his magnum opus, the Geography, which he described as a 'Kolossourgia', a colossal statue of a work. This term reflects not only the work's size in seventeen books, but also its multi-faceted nature. An international team of Strabo scholars explores its details, and the cultural, political, historical and geographical questions addressed in the Geography. They present different approaches to the study of Strabo, from traditional literary and historical perspectives to newer material and feminist readings. ; 304 pages
2006This study of six historians from the edges of the Roman world at the end of the Republic--the author of I Maccabees, Posidonius, Diodorus Siculus, Pompeius Trogus, Nicolaus of Damascus, and Memnon of Heraclea--combines discussion of their biographical details, the intellectual and elite culture in which they composed, and the methodological difficulties of interpreting fragmentary texts, with textual analysis of their representations of Rome. These authors show remarkable unity in their acceptance of Roman hegemony. Nevertheless, their interpretations of Roman rule assume political significance in the light of their intentions in writing and the audiences whom they addressed. They therefore provide a unique insight into the minds of the conquered peoples and the intellectual culture which allowed them to influence their conquerors. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 416 pages
2008Book is fine. Front DJ flap creased. 1 very tiny chip to DJ. ; Latin and especially Greek texts of the imperial period contain a wealth of references to 'India'. Professor Parker offers a survey of such texts, read against a wide range of other sources, both archaeological and documentary. He emphasises the social processes whereby the notion of India gained its exotic features, including the role of the Persian empire and of Alexander's expedition. Three kinds of social context receive special attention: the trade in luxury commodities; the political discourse of empire and its limits; and India's status as a place of special knowledge, embodied in 'naked philosophers'. Roman ideas about India ranged from the specific and concrete to the wildly fantastic and the book attempts to account for such variety. It ends by considering the afterlife of such ideas into late antiquity and beyond. ; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 374 pages
2012Greek traditions of writing about food and the symposium had a long and rich afterlife in the first to fifth centuries CE, in both Greco-Roman and early Christian culture. This book provides an account of the history of the table-talk tradition, derived from Plato's Symposium and other classical texts, focusing among other writers on Plutarch, Athenaeus, Methodius and Macrobius. It also deals with the representation of transgressive, degraded, eccentric types of eating and drinking in Greco-Roman and early Christian prose narrative texts, focusing especially on the Letters of Alciphron, the Greek and Roman novels, especially Apuleius, the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles and the early saints' lives. It argues that writing about consumption and conversation continued to matter: these works communicated distinctive ideas about how to talk and how to think, distinctive models of the relationship between past and present, distinctive and often destabilising visions of identity and holiness. ; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 430 pages
2012This volume presents the first results of research conducted on 'The Social and Cultural Construction of Emotions: The Greek Paradigm' by a research group in Oxford funded by the European Research Council. The project aims at contributing to a better understanding of the social and cultural factors that determine the manifestation of emotions in texts (papyri, inscriptions, literary sources) and in the material evidence from the Greek and Greek-speaking world (c. 800 BCE – c. 600 CE). The four introductory chapters address problems in the study of emotions in antiquity. They are followed by ten case-studies in which the manifestation and arousal of emotions (fear, anger, envy, grief, hope) are studied in various contexts (religion, litigation, political life, art, private life) and in connection with a variety of media (narratives of miracles, dedications, curses, acclamations, petitions, condolence letters, forensic oratory, architecture, images). ; Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage Und Epigraphische Studien (HABES 52) ; 490 pages
2014Das Ausmaß der Teilhabe an der Herstellung kollektiv verbindlicher Entscheidungen ist ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Analyse politischer Systeme. Das klassische Griechenland und insbesondere die attische Demokratie gelten vielen dabei als Beispiele für Gemeinwesen, in denen die Bürger starken Einfluss auf die Politik nehmen konnten. Gleichwohl waren die Möglichkeiten, an politischen Entscheidungen mitzuwirken, nicht unbeschränkt. Es gab auch hier Grenzen politischer Partizipation. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes untersuchen beispielhaft an verschiedenen Gesellschaften des archaischen und klassischen Griechenlands Formen und Folgen der Exklusion vom politischen Entscheidungshandeln. Dabei steht im Zentrum der Beiträge die Frage, wie sich der Grad der Partizipationschance zur Legitimität der Entscheidung auf der einen, ihrer Qualität auf der anderen Seite verhielt. ; Alte Geschichte; 124 pages
