2010Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 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.

20082 volume set. Light bumping to extremities else Fine. ; Alba Longa et sa légende demeurent pour la science une énigme : alors qu’elle explore les origines de Rome avec une intensité sans précédent, elle ne sait que penser de cette ville introuvable, de ce lac débordant, de ces forêts ombreuses, de ces rois fantômes. Quel rôle jouèrent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale ? A-t-on eu raison, depuis plus de cinq siècles, de chercher inlassablement Albe, cette cité d’où seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome ? Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome, entre la Ligue latine et la Ville ? Géographie historique et culturelle, sciences de la terre, archéologie, histoire des religions, philologie : le recours à un très large éventail de disciplines aboutit ici à une synthèse, d’où le souci de la réflexivité épistémologique n’est jamais absent. Pour comprendre le légendaire albain, il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe siècle sont donc restituées dans leur contexte. Au-delà de ce qui a été conservé, émerge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus, des sites oubliés, des textes négligés, des rites méconnus et, avec eux, toute la richesse d’une véritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux l’apport des plus récentes découvertes dans ce Latium préromain dont le massif Albain constituait précisément le centre. C’est là, sur le mons Albanus, moderne Monte Cavo, que les Anciens plaçaient Alba Longa et ses rois ; c’est là aussi qu’ avait lieu une grandiose cérémonie religieuse, les Féries Latines, délaissées pourtant par la recherche moderne qui n’a su où situer les mystérieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires précis, des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concernés, donnés à chaque fois avec leur traduction, permettent de redonner à ces thèmes toute leur importance, et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la première synthèse française sur cet ancien Latium, naguère dit primitif, objet, depuis trois décennies, d’un grand mouvement international de recherche. Mémoire ou histoire ? À cette interrogation, aujourd’hui omniprésente, ce livre apporte une réponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au débat actuel sur les origines de Rome. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE.

2004Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; BAR International Series 1220; 153 pages; The Greek and Roman year were divided into festivals and games even more than our year is today. Politics and competition went together and the spectacle and even danger of games and sports spiced up the lives of Greek and Roman citizens. This volume presents fourteen papers, half of which originated at a conference held in Edinburgh in 2000, which examine the archaeological, material and documentary evidence for ancient sports and festivals, making comparison between Greek and Roman habits and placing the events in their political and religious setting. Subjects include: Minoan bull sports; the evidence of dance imagery; Pindar; chariot racing and politics in 5th-century Athens and Sophocles' Electra; competitive Greek games; Dionysiac festivals in Aristophanes' Acharnians; cock fighting and dicing in classical Athens; the festival of Artemis Leukophyrene; Roman games and Greek origins in Dionysius of Halicarnassus; epic and real games in Statius and Virgil; Roman naumachiae or naval battles in artifical basins; Dionysiac scenes on Oinophoroi vessels from Sagalassos; Christianising the celebrations of death in Late Antiquity; the portraits of champions in Palazzo Te.
2008Faint 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.
2011Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage (Pawb) Band 34; 532 pages; English summary: The ability to translate the inner world of ideas into image displays is one of the original human characteristics. The figments of imagination translated into the communicative sphere as images represent not only external forms, but also memories, conveyed fears, hopes, or other emotions. This is especially true as it pertains to religion. But what image of God did the majority of Greeks of the ancient world hold, and what were their godly images? The book by Peter Eich focuses on the prevailing ideas that religious image production held in Greece, as well as on the community-building function of religious images over the course of time. Contemporary testimonies are fully investigated and reinterpreted in their idiom and their contexts of meaning. German text. German description: Die Fahigkeit, die innere Vorstellungswelt in Bilddarstellungen umzusetzen, gehort zu den ursprunglichen menschlichen Eigenschaften. Die aus der Vorstellung in die kommunikative Sphare ubersetzten Bilder reproduzieren nicht nur aussere Formen, sondern verankern auch Erinnerungen oder transportieren Angste, Hoffnungen oder andere Emotionen. Dies gilt besonders auf dem Gebiet der Religion. Doch welches Gottesbild hatte die Mehrheit der Griechen der Antike, und was waren Gotterbilder fur sie?Das Buch von Peter Eich konzentriert sich auf die in Hellas vorherrschenden Vorstellungen, die die religiose Bildproduktion bedingten, und die gemeinschaftsstiftende Funktion sakraler Bilder im Wandel der Zeit. Dazu werden die Aussagen der Zeitgenossen in ihrem Idiom und in ihren Sinnzusammenhangen umfassend untersucht und mit Hilfe eines verbreiterten Methodenkanons neu gedeutet.
