1989Light creasing to rear wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; Plus qu'un intermédiaire entre les hommes et les dieux, le prêtre romain, dépositaire des intérêts humains, défend l'existence de la Cité contre l'ennemi d'en haut, parfois plus redoutable que l'ennemi aux frontières. Mais, citoyen parmi d'autres, jouant de la superstition de ses contemporains, il oriente à son gré et au gré des dieux la vie juridique, politique de la communauté. Son pouvoir est ainsi bien souvent supérieur à toutes les puissances reconnues. Alors qui est vraiment le prêtre romain ? Homme des dieux ou fonctionnaire d'État? Messager ou magicien ? C'est à toutes ces interrogations que répond le livre de Danielle Porte. ; Collection Realia; 266 pages

1995Light wear to corners. Pencil marginalia to a few pages. ; Interest in goddess worship is growing in contemporary society, as women seek models for feminine spirituality and wholeness. New cults are developing around ancient goddesses from many cultures, although their modern adherents often envision and interpret the goddesses very differently than their original worshippers did. In this thematic study of the Roman goddess Ceres, Barbette Spaeth explores the rich complexity of meanings and functions that grew up around the goddess from the prehistoric period to the Late Roman Empire. In particular, she examines two major concepts, fertility and liminality, and two social categories, the plebs and women, which were inextricably linked with Ceres in the Roman mind. Spaeth then analyzes an image of the goddess in a relief of the Ara Pacis, an important state monument of the Augustan period, showing how it incorporates all these varied roles and associations of Ceres. This interpretation represents a new contribution to art history. With its use of literary, epigraphical, numismatic, artistic, and archaeological evidence, The Roman Goddess Ceres presents a more encompassing view of the goddess than was previously available. It will be important reading for all students of Classics, as well as for a general audience interested in New Age, feminist, or pagan spirituality. ; 308 pages

2002Faint staining to lower section of front inner cover and small stain (1cm) to first 2 pages. Staining to lower section of DJ (the reverse section cannot be seen unless DJ is removed). Small scratches to rear panel of DJ. ; Routledge Classical Monographs; 288 pages; Valerius Maximus was an indefatigable collector of historical anecdotes illustrating vice and virtue. His Memorable Deeds and Sayings are unparalleled as a source for the opinions of Romans in the early empire on a vast range of subjects. Mueller focuses on what Valerius can tell us about contemporary Roman attitudes to religion, attacking several orthodoxies along the way. He argues that Roman religion could be deeply emotional. That it was possible to believe passionately in the divinity of the emperor - even when, like Tiberius, he was still alive - and that Rome's gods and religious rituals had an important role in fostering conventional morality. The study further explores elements of ancient rhetoric, Roman historiography, and Tiberian Rome. The fact that Valerius was a contemporary of Jesus means his work is also valuable in reflecting the attitudes and beliefs of the ruling class to which Christ and his followers were politically subject, and which formed the background to the growth and persecution of Christianity.
