Roman Portable Sundials: The Empire in Your Hand
ISBN: 9780190273484 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In an unscientific era when maps were rarities, how did ancient Romans envisage their far flung empire? This was done by various means for certain, including with the aid of an ingenious type of portable sundial that has barely attracted notice. As the Romans understood before the first century BCE, to track the passage of the sun across the sky hour-by-hour one needed to know one's latitude and the time of year, and that, furthermore, sundials did not have to be fixed objects. These portable instruments, crafted in bronze, were adjustable for the changes of latitude to be expected on long...

Reading 1 and 2 Peter and Jude: A Literary and Theological Commentary
ISBN: 9781573123143 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume is dedicated to the study of three late, little-known biblical works that historically have been relegated to the lesser works of the New Testament. "Reading 1 Peter, Jude, and 2 Peter" underscores the light that these letters shed upon one another and focuses on the snapshots they provide of early Christian communities as they encountered the social and religious environment in which they were situated. Careful reading of 1 Peter reveals the complex world of the post-apostolic period. Jude and 2 Peter provide a sober look at the early community's evolution in doctrinal and moral...

Talbert examines the composition, procedure, and functions of the Roman senate during the Principate (30 B.C.-A.D. 238).

Space in the Roman World : Its Perception and Presentation
ISBN: 9783825874193 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How was space perceived and presented in the Roman world? While it is tempting to assume that any modern historical atlas, with its maps of "the world as the Romans saw it," gives a sufficient answer to these questions, recent research has suggested that the issue is more complex. To explore such questions in more detail, the five original contributions to this volume, by leading experts from Britain, Germany, the United States, and Switzerland, discuss the tradition of scientific geography, Roman itinerary literature, and the Tabula Peutingeriana.
