Religion, Language and Community in the Roman Near East: Constantine to Muhammad
ISBN: 9780197265574 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the way in which different ethnic, religious and linguistic communities co-existed and conflicted in the Roman Near East in the three centuries between the conversion of the Emperor Constantine to Christianity in 312 and the beginning of Muhammad's preaching in about 610. In the fourth century a major role was played by Greek-speaking pagans, most notably the great orator, Libanius, from Antioch in Syria. After about 400, however, the public observance of pagan rituals died away under the pressure of Christianity. But the Greek language, as used in the Church, remained...

A Greek Roman Empire: Power and Belief Under Theodosius II (408-450)Volume 64
ISBN: 9780520253919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the first half of the fifth century, the Latin-speaking part of the Roman Empire suffered vast losses of territory to barbarian invaders. But in the Greek-speaking half of the Eastern Mediterranean, with its capital at Constantinople, there was a stable and successful system, using Latin as its official language, but communicating with its subjects in Greek. This book takes an inside look at how this system worked in the long reign of the pious Christian Emperor Theodosius II (408-50), and analyzes its largely successful defense of its frontiers, its internal coherence, and its relations...

The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic: Volume 22
ISBN: 9780472088782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It has often been thought that Roman politics was dominated by a governing class, or even aristocracy, and it has sometimes been presumed that the Senate was a legislative body. The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic takes a dramatically new tack, and explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could be gained only by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters, advise other office-holders, and make some administrative decisions, it could not legislate. An office-holder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the...

The Roman Republic in Political Thought
ISBN: 9781584651994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is a fact that the very long-lived Roman Republic has consistently played a surprisingly slight role in political theory and discussions about the nature of democracy, forms of government, and other matters, particularly when compared to the enormous attention paid to fifth-century BCE Athenian democracy. Fergus Millar re-opens the issue of how the Roman Republic was understood and used by political thinkers from the Ancient World to the present. Describing both the reality of the late Roman Republic and showing how its nature was distorted even by contemporary sources, he tracks its...

Emperor in the Roman World
ISBN: 9780715617229 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book offers a large scale reassessment of the function of Roman emperor over three centuries (from Augustus to Constantine) and of the social realities of this exercise of power. Concentrating on the patterns of communication between the emperor and his subjects, the author shows that such communications were normally initiated by the subjects - whether grouped in cities or other associations, or individually and that the emperor fulfilled his role primarily by making responses to them or giving decisions or verdicts between them. The book casts new light on a number of detailed...
