2002264 pages; The warring Greek city-states of the classical period often found it advantageous to use slaves in their armed forces and to encourage rebellion or desertion among the slaves of their enemies. But since military service was highly esteemed, while the state of slavery was despised, classical Greek historians such as Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon tended not to discuss slave participation in war. This book examines the actual role of slaves in war, the neglect of it by historians, and the reasons for this reticence.

2011Upper corners slightly bumped else fine. ; Les horrea, édifices de stockage et de rangement, font partie intégrante des circuits d'approvisionnement du monde méditerranéen antique. Leur utilisation relève d'une nécessité économique et politique et renvoie à un contrôle des ressources exercé à différentes échelles, selon des logiques différenciées et pour des durées plus ou moins longues. À travers l'étude des différents types d'entrepôts de la période romaine, le présent ouvrage se propose d'analyser les logiques du stockage et les réseaux de distribution et de redistribution dans le monde méditerranéen. Il porte principalement sur la péninsule Ibérique, tout en offrant des points de comparaison avec l'Italie, l'Orient et l'Afrique. Il fournit ainsi un premier bilan sur les structures de stockage de l'Hispanie et ouvre également des perspectives plus larges sur le fonctionnement de l'économie et le rôle de l'État dans le monde romain. ; Collection De La Casa De Velázquez Volume 125; 352 pages

2001Very faint spotting to top of textblock else book is fine. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; Archaic Naukratis was a busy trading place in the Western Delta of the Nile, renowned for its sanctuaries and courtesans, granting the Greeks access to Egyptian grain and luxury items. Now, more than one hundred years after the discovery and excavation of Naukratis, the author offers the first full-length analysis of the archaeology and archaic history of this important site. Although Naukratis always features in modern accounts of ancient Greek colonization, it was not a place where the Greeks could freely establish their own political and social organization--it was under the strict control of the Egyptian pharaoh and his officials. To understand the special status of Naukratis, the author takes the port of trade model, surveying the political, social, and economic background of both Late Period Egypt and archaic Greece. A major section of the book comprises an archaeological re-evaluation of the topography of archaic Naukratis and its material finds. The sanctuaries, archaic pottery styles, terracottas, faiences, statuettes, and other small finds are examined in the light of recent scholarship, and an in-depth study of the literary evidence is brought to bear on the archaeological material. This book comprises a significant contribution to our understanding of Graeco-Egyptian relations during the seventh and sixth centuries BC and also demonstrates that Polanyian economic theory can play an invaluable rôle in the ongoing debate about the concepts best employed to analyse the ancient Greek economy. ; Oxford Monographs on Classical Archaeology; 328 pages

2004Very light shelfwear else fine. ; For many today Spartacus is Kirk Douglas. The influence of Kubrick's film has been enormous, but Spartacus was famous before 1960. For hundreds of years he has been a byword for resistance, revolution and the fight for freedom. He has given his name to a revolutionary party in Germany and a political group in the USA; he is the subject of several novels and films, and even a ballet. Though only a slave, he is as famous as Julius Caesar. Not much information, and much of it negative, survives about him from the ancient world, yet his reputation has survived this character assassination and he is still famous as a popular hero two thousand years after his death. Theresa Urbainczyk explores the man and the myth in this fascinating short treatment of an icon of revolution. ; Ancients in Action; 144 pages
