The Matter of the Gods: Religion and the Roman Empirevolume 44
ISBN: 9780520259867 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What did the Romans know about their gods? Why did they perform the rituals of their religion, and what motivated them to change those rituals? To these questions Clifford Ando proposes simple answers: In contrast to ancient Christians, who had faith, Romans had knowledge, and their knowledge was empirical in orientation. In other words, the Romans acquired knowledge of the gods through observation of the world, and their rituals were maintained or modified in light of what they learned. After a preface and opening chapters that lay out this argument about knowledge and place it in context,...

Ancient States and Infrastructural Power: Europe, Asia, and America
ISBN: 9780812249316 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While ancient states are often characterized in terms of the powers that they claimed to possess, the contributors to this book argue that they were in fact fundamentally weak, both in the exercise of force outside of war and in the infrastructural and regulatory powers that such force would, in theory, defend. In Ancient States and Infrastructural Power a distinguished group of scholars examines the ways in which early states built their territorial, legal, and political powers before they had the capabilities to enforce them. The volume brings Greek and Roman historians...

Imperial Rome Ad 193 to 284: The Critical Century
ISBN: 9780748620500 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Roman empire during the period framed by the accession of Septimus Severus in 193 and the rise of Diocletian in 284 has conventionally been regarded as one of 'crisis'. Between 235 and 284, at least eighteen men held the throne of the empire, for an average of less than three years, a reckoning which does not take into account all the relatives and lieutenants with whom those men shared power. Compared to the century between the accession of Nerva and the death of Commodus, this appears to be a period of near unintelligibility. The middle of the century also witnessed catastrophic, if...

Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire: Volume 6
ISBN: 9780520220676 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 515 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world, it did not. Rather, its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover, the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem, Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question, Why did the Roman empire fall? Rather, he asks, Why did the empire last so long? Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman...

Roman Social Imaginaries: Language and Thought in Contexts of Empire
ISBN: 9781442650176 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In an expansion of his 2012 Robson Classical Lectures, Clifford Ando examines the connection between the nature of the Latin language and Roman thinking about law, society, and empire. Drawing on innovative work in cognitive linguistics and anthropology, Roman Social Imaginaries considers how metaphor, metonymy, analogy, and ideation helped create the structures of thought that shaped the Roman Empire as a political construct. Beginning in early Roman history, Ando shows how the expansion of the empire into new territories led the Romans to develop and exploit Latin's...

Law, Language, and Empire in the Roman Tradition
ISBN: 9780812243543 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Romans depicted the civil law as a body of rules crafted through communal deliberation for the purpose of self-government. Yet, as Clifford Ando demonstrates in "Law, Language, and Empire in the Roman Tradition," the civil law was also an instrument of empire: many of its most characteristic features developed in response to the challenges posed when the legal system of Rome was deployed to embrace, incorporate, and govern people and cultures far afield. Ando studies the processes through which lawyers at Rome grappled with the legal pluralism resulting from imperial conquests. He...
