Magnus Pius: Sextus Pompeius and the Transformation of the Roman Republic
ISBN: 9781905125449 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sextus Pompeius Magnus Pius, son of Pompey the Great, fits uneasily - or not at all - into the grand narrative of the civil war of 49-31BC. Modern scholars tend to exclude him or mention him without asking what or whom he represented. Ronald Syme, the father of international orthodoxy in this field, famously remarked that Sextus was 'in reality an adventurer' who was 'easily represented as a pirate'. He was wrong. Sextus Pompeius plays havoc with key elements of the accepted narrative. His military success destroys the myth of continuous Caesarian victory. His commitment to rescuing the...

Appian's Roman History: Empire and Civil War
ISBN: 9781910589007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Appian of Alexandria lived in the early-to-mid second century AD, a time when the pax Romana flourished. His Roman History traced, through a series of ethnographic histories, the growth of Roman power throughout Italy and the Mediterranean World. But Appian also told the story of the civil wars which beset Rome from the time of Tiberius Gracchus to the death of Sextus Pompeius Magnus. The standing of his work in modern times is paradoxical. Consigned to the third rank by nineteenth-century historiographers, and poorly served by translators, Appian's Roman History profoundly shapes our...

Roman Crossings: Theory and Practice in the Roman Republic
ISBN: 9781905125005 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Eleven new essays, from an international cast, trace the development of political culture in the Roman Republic. Themes include the flourishing of civic society, as with the introduction of the Roman Games, and the emergence of a theory of politeness. How was a Roman aristocrat formed? How did the term 'Optimates' develop from the middle Republic onwards? And how, especially, did the rhetoric of Cicero reflect and adapt to the pressures of civil war in the Republic's climactic and dying years?

Julius Caesar as Artful Reporter: The War Commentaries as Political Instruments
ISBN: 9781905125289 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The writings of Julius Caesar have beguiled by their apparent simplicity. Generations of readers have been encouraged to see them as a limpid record of positive achievement. The contributors to this volume demonstrate that the appearance of simplicity is achieved by devious and accomplished art. In nine original studies, focussing mainly on the Gallic War, the contributors trace systems of justification and omission, of measured praise and subtle criticism, which served to promote Caesar and to leave Roman enemies empty-handed. It is shown that Caesar's writing has an ingenuity of description...

Sextus Pompeius
ISBN: 9780715631270 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The son of Pompey the Great cast a long shadow. Acclaimed by the Roman populace in his lifetime, his traditional virtues and military successes put to shame his civil-war rival Octavian. After his death, he was passionately and safely abused by Octavian and Augustan writers as a marginal nuisance, a pirate. The image of a 'second rank' figure has been propagated by scholars into recent times. But a very different story can now be constructed, from the testimony of historians and poets in antiquity and from the eloquent and long-neglected coinage of Sextus Pompeius himself. Here ten studies...
