The reasons for Roman annexation have too often been explained in simplistic monocausal terms, such as a desire for glory or wealth or as a defensive measure against a warlike neighbour. This book seeks to redress this simplistic perception of causality for Roman annexation and argues that the Romans sought advantage from their military endeavours and possessed a complex understanding of the factors that could contribute to advantage or disadvantage. This work provides a comprehensive methodology, which is based on the modern cost-benefit analysis tool, for the assessment of Roman annexation...

This volume examines social ontology. It expands the reach and depth of the philosophy of sociality by relating it to philosophical ideas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and to key thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, and Bourdieu.

The Roman conquests of Macedonia in the 2nd century BC led directly to the extension of their authority over the troublesome tribes of Thrace to the south of the Danube. But their new neighbor on the other side of the mighty river, the kingdom of the Dacians, was to pose an increasing threat to the Roman empire. Inevitably, this eventually provoked Roman attempts at invasion and conquest. It is a measure of Dacian prowess and resilience that several tough campaigns were required over more than a century before their kingdom was added to the Roman Empire. It was one of the Empire's last major...

Cavallini, alongside Giotto, was one of the trailblazers of Renaissance painting, and the most important protagonist of the Roman school that from 1275 to 1305 gave rise to art production whose influence spread beyond the region s boundaries. This includes the first-class masterwork of the frescoes of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, executed in ca. 1300. They have been examined for the first time using scientific methods, providing new findings regarding the dating, the identification of the person who commissioned them, and the reconstruction of the iconographic structure using an architectural...

Religion was integral to the conduct of war in the ancient world and the Greeks were certainly no exception. No campaign was undertaken, no battle risked, without first making sacrifice to propitiate the appropriate gods (such as Ares, god of War) or consulting oracles and omens to divine their plans. Yet the link between war and religion is an area that has been regularly overlooked by modern scholars examining the conflicts of these times. This volume addresses that omission by drawing together the work of experts from across the globe. The chapters have been carefully structured by the...
