Violence, Civil Strife and Revolution in the Classical City (Routledge Revivals): 750-330 BC
ISBN: 9781138019737 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Violent conflict between individuals and groups was as common in the ancient world as it has been in more recent history. Detested in theory, it nevertheless became as frequent as war between sovereign states. The importance of such "stasis" was recognised by political thinkers of the time, especially Thucydides and Aristotle, both of whom tried to analyse its causes. " Violence, Civil Strife and Revolution in the Classical City," first published in 1982, gives a conspectus of "stasis" in the societies of Greek antiquity, and traces the development of civil strife as city-states grew in...

The Constitution of the Roman Republic
ISBN: 9780199261086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is no other published book in English studying the constitution of the Roman Republic as a whole. Yet the Greek historian Polybius believed that the constitution was a fundamental cause of the exponential growth of Rome's empire.

Plutarch: Demosthenes and Cicero
ISBN: 9780199699728 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Plutarch's Lives have been popular reading from antiquity to the present day, combining engaging biographical detail with a strong underlying moral purpose. The Lives of Demosthenes and Cicero are an unusual pair in that they are about unmilitary men who, while superb technically as orators, were both in the end political failures, crushed by the military power which dominated their world.
In these two Lives, Plutarch is not so much interested in Demosthenes' and Cicero's rhetorical technique as in their ability to persuade an audience to vote for the right course of action, even if that...

Judicial Reform and Land Reform in the Roman Republic: A New Edition, with Translation and Commentary, of the Laws from Urbino
ISBN: 9780521130882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Twelve fragments of bronze were found near Urbino in the late fifteenth century, engraved with Roman laws - on one side a law concerning extortion, on the other an agrarian law. Dating as they do from the time of the Gracchi and of Marius in the later years of the Roman Republic, the laws are of considerable interest to Roman historians and are important evidence for the understanding of the revolutionary period that led to the overthrow of the Republic. In this volume, Dr Lintott offers a complete re-edition of these complicated and fragmentary texts, including a revision of the relationship...

Violence, Justice, and Law in Classical Antiquity: Collected Papers of Andrew Lintott
ISBN: 9789004543027 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Violence, Justice, and Law in Classical Antiquity collects together forty-three of Andrew Lintott’s most significant papers. Lintott’s corpus of work exposes the fundamental reliance of ancient Romans (and Greeks) on violent measures, including their readiness to resort to violence in the manner of judicial “self-help” or political tyrannicide. The legitimation of violence in Roman culture and Roman political discourse informs the nature of Roman imperialism, and equally it is impossible to understand the illegitimate violence which characterised the political collapse of the Roman...
