Trade in Classical Antiquity
ISBN: 9780521634168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Historians have long argued about the place of trade in classical antiquity: was it the life-blood of a complex, Mediterranean-wide economic system, or a thin veneer on the surface of an underdeveloped agrarian society? Trade underpinned the growth of Athenian and Roman power, helping to supply armies and cities. It furnished the goods that ancient elites needed to maintain their dominance - and yet, those same elites generally regarded trade and traders as a threat to social order. Trade, like the patterns of consumption that determined its development, was implicated in wider debates about...

Metropolis and Hinterland: The City of Rome and the Italian Economy, 200 BC-AD 200
ISBN: 9780521560061 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book studies the growth of the city of Rome and the effects of the city's demands for food and migrants on the economy of Italy. It seeks to question the idea that all great cities, especially in the ancient world, were parasites on the societies that supported them. On the contrary, the growth of Rome promoted development in agriculture, marketing systems and urbanization in Italy. The book reappraises not only the traditional view of Rome as a consumer city but also the history of Italy in the late Republic and early Principate.

The Roman Empire: Roots Of Imperialism
ISBN: 9780745328690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A millennium and a half after the end of the period of its unquestioned dominance, Rome remains a significant presence in western culture. This book explores what the empire meant to its subjects.
The idea of Rome has long outlived the physical empire that gave it form, and now holds sway over vastly more people and a far greater geographical area than the Romans ever ruled. It continues to shape our understanding of the nature of imperialism, and thus, however subtly, to influence the workings of the world. Unlike most works on Roman history, this book does not offer a simplistic...

Thucydides and the Idea of History
ISBN: 9781848851702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the eighteenth century onwards, the ancient Greek writer Thucydides (c 460 - c 395 BCE) was viewed as the most important classical historian. He was acclaimed not only as a vital source for reconstructing antiquity but as a purveyor of timeless political wisdom. His name is almost inescapable in nineteenth-century discussions of history's nature and purpose. And his spirit, or the image of him constructed by German historicists, remains a significant presence in more recent debates about historical method. It is remarkable, then, that the trajectory of Thucydides' modern reception has...
