The Dancing Lares and the Serpent in the Garden: Religion at the Roman Street Corner
ISBN: 9780691175003 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The most pervasive gods in ancient Rome had no traditional mythology attached to them, nor was their worship organized by elites. Throughout the Roman world, neighborhood street corners, farm boundaries, and household hearths featured small shrines to the beloved lares, a pair of cheerful little dancing gods. These shrines were maintained primarily by ordinary Romans, and often by slaves and freedmen, for whom the lares cult provided a unique public leadership role. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated book, the first to focus on the lares, Harriet Flower...

Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture
ISBN: 9780199240241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Flower explains why the Roman elite commemorated politically prominent family members with wax masks worn by actors at the funerals of the deceased. She looks at literary sources, legal texts, epigraphy, archaeology, numismatics, and art, tracing the functional evolution of ancestor masks, from the third century BC to the sixth century AD. By putting these masks into their legal, social, and political context, Flower elucidates their central position in the media of the time and their special meaning as symbols of power and prestige.

Roman Republics
ISBN: 9780691152585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the Renaissance to today, the idea that the Roman Republic lasted more than 450 years--persisting unbroken from the late sixth century to the mid-first century BC--has profoundly shaped how Roman history is understood, how the ultimate failure of Roman republicanism is explained, and how republicanism itself is defined. In Roman Republics, Harriet Flower argues for a completely new interpretation of republican chronology. Radically challenging the traditional picture of a single monolithic republic, she argues that there were multiple republics, each with its own clearly...

The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic
ISBN: 9781107669420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 513 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic examines all aspects of Roman history and civilization from 509 to 49 B.C. The key development of the republican period was Rome's rise from a small city to a wealthy metropolis, which served as the international capital of an extensive Mediterranean empire. These centuries produced a classic republican political culture, closely associated with the growth of a world empire. They also witnessed the slow disintegration of republican government under the relentless and combined pressure of external commitments, growing internal dissension, and the...

The Art of Forgetting: Disgrace & Oblivion in Roman Political Culture
ISBN: 9780807871881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Elite Romans periodically chose to limit or destroy the memory of a leading citizen who was deemed an unworthy member of the community. Sanctions against memory could lead to the removal or mutilation of portraits and public inscriptions. Harriet Flower provides the first chronological overview of the development of this Roman practice--an instruction to forget--from archaic times into the second century A.D. Flower explores Roman memory sanctions against the background of Greek and Hellenistic cultural influence and in the context of the wider Mediterranean world. Combining literary texts,...
