2003Failure of Empire is the first comprehensive biography of the Roman emperor Valens and his troubled reign (a. D. 364-78). Valens will always be remembered for his spectacular defeat and death at the hands of the Goths in the Battle of Adrianople. This singular misfortune won him a front-row seat among history's great losers. By the time he was killed, his empire had been coming unglued for several years: the Goths had overrun the Balkans; Persians, Isaurians, and Saracens were threatening the east; the economy was in disarray; and pagans and Christians alike had been exiled, tortured, and executed in his religious persecutions. Valens had not, however, entirely failed in his job as emperor. He was an admirable administrator, a committed defender of the frontiers, and a ruler who showed remarkable sympathy for the needs of his subjects. In lively style and rich detail, Lenski incorporates a broad range of new material, from archaeology to Gothic and Armenian sources, in a study that illuminates the social, cultural, religious, economic, administrative, and military complexities of Valens's realm. Failure of Empire offers a nuanced reconsideration of Valens the man and shows both how he applied his strengths to meet the expectations of his world and how he ultimately failed in his efforts to match limited capacities to limitless demands. ; 1.35 x 9.86 x 6.24 Inches; 454 pages

Even though the family has always been a fundamental institution in Greek society, this is the first study in English devoted to it. This book deals in detail with the family in the archaic and classical ages -- the great era of the city-states. It was during this period that a close and complex relationship existed between the family and the city-state. Each city-state was, in fact, the sum total of the households contained in it, and each household resembled a miniature kingdom, with its own gods and lands, and the head of the house exercised almost royal powers over his children. So powerful and close-knit was the family group that it was regarded by politicians and philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle, as damaging to their ideals of personal detachment and public service, and even as a menace to the unity of the state. Mr Lacey supports his views of family life by quoting and discussing relevant writings of the Greek philosophers and by citing contemporary literature, especially the comedies. He analyzes also the valuable evidence supplied by inscriptions, vase paintings, sculpture, terracottas, and coins, many of which are presented in black-and-white photographs. From ancient times until today, the most pervasive force in Greek life has been the family. This study of its influence in classical Greece makes possible a better understanding of greek history, literature, and art.

Very light shelfwear to book. ; 1.11 x 8.57 x 6.16 Inches; 348 pages; Shortly before the launch of the reconstructed Greek warship, Olympias, the first edition of The Athenian Trireme was published, providing historical and technical background to the reconstruction of the ship. Since then, five seasons of experimental trials have been conducted on the ship under oar and sail, and the lessons learned have been supplemented by new archaeological discoveries and by historical, scientific and physiological research over the past fifteen years. For this second edition, the text has been recast and a number of substantive changes have been made. In addition, there is an entirely new chapter that describes the trials of Olympias in detail, reports the performance figures, and outlines the changes desirable in any second reconstruction. There are nineteen new illustrations, including eleven photographs of Olympias at sea demonstrating features of the design that could be represented only by drawings in the first edition.
