The City in Roman Palestine
ISBN: 9780195098822 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is a study of the city and urban life in Roman Palestine during the Talmudic period, 100-400 B.C.

Drawing on numerous literary records for his information, he describes the structure and use of many physical aspects of the city, such as its markets, pubs, streets, bathhouses, roads, walls, toilets, and water supply. Rounding out the study is a chapter describing the archeological evidence, written by Sperber's...

Slavery in Early Christianity
ISBN: 9780195136098 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Slavery was widespread throughout the Mediterranean lands where Christianity was born and developed. Though Christians were both slaves and slaveholders, there has been surprisingly little study of what early Christians thought about the realities of slavery. How did they reconcile slavery with the Gospel teachings of brotherhood and charity? Slaves were considered the sexual property of their owners: what was the status within the Church of enslaved women and young male slaves who were their owners' sexual playthings? Is there any reason to believe that Christians shied away from the use of...

Handbook to Life in the Ancient Maya World
ISBN: 9780195183634 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The ancient Mayan civilization of southern Mexico and northern Central America has long been described as "mysterious," even though scholars have been studying this culture for hundreds of years. Our view of the Maya has changed dramatically based on the various findings of these scholars; what were once thought of as "vacant ceremonial centers," inhabited by only a few calendar priests and used as places of ritual by the surrounding peasant farmers, have now been redefined as ancient thriving cities of thousands of Maya. Hierogliphic inscriptions, once thought to be astrological mumbo-jumbo,...

The Arabian Gulf in Antiquity: Volume II: From Alexander the Great to the Coming of Islam
ISBN: 9780198143918 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Arabian Gulf has, since the early 1970's, been one of the most promising areas of research in ancient near-eastern archaeology. Until now, however, there has been no attempt to synthesize the archaeology and history of this region from the beginnings of human settlement to the rise of Islam. Drawing on a wide array of archaeological, epigraphic, and literary sources, Dr. Potts presents here for the first time a comprehensive study of the area in two volumes. The period from Alexander the Great to the coming of Islam, including a full discussion of Christianity in the area, comprises the...

The Cities of Seleukid Syria
ISBN: 9780198146940 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first detailed study of the foundation, history, government, growth, and decline of the cities founded in Syria by Seleukos I in 301 B.C., shortly after the time of Alexander the Great. Focusing on the relationship between the kings and the cities in their kingdoms, Grainger reveals that former theories concerning such a relationship require drastic revision. He argues that neither the kings nor the cities intended the cities to be autonomous or independent, as they were far too reliant on royal support. Throwing fresh light on a most important period in ancient history, this...

Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa
ISBN: 9780198152354 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book seeks to define the cultural, social, and economic consequences of the Roman occupation of North Africa (c.50 B.C.-250 A.D.), mainly in the semi-arid frontier-zone of what is today Algeria. It also offers a fresh look at the development and purpose of the north African frontier-system. Through detailed examination of the region's archaeological and epigraphic record, including the marriage-patterns recorded on its surviving, funerary inscriptions, Cherry demonstrates that there was probably little acculturation in the north African frontier-zone. The Roman army, long considered to...

Children and Childhood in Roman Italy
ISBN: 9780199240340 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Images of children in Roman society abound: an infant's first bath, learning to walk, playing with pets and toys, going to school, and--all too often--dying prematurely. Children and Childhood in Roman Italy argues that in Roman society children were, in principle and often in practice, welcome, valued and visible. This study builds on the dynamic work on the Roman family that has been developing in recent decades. Its focus on the period between the first century BCE and the early third century CE provides a context for new work being done on early Christian societies, especially in...

Pyrrho, his Antecedents, and his Legacy
ISBN: 9780199256617 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard Bett presents a ground-breaking study of Pyrrho of Elis, who lived in the late fourth and early third centuries BC and is the supposed originator of Greek scepticism. In the absence of surviving works by Pyrrho, scholars have tended to treat his thought as essentially the same as the long subsequent sceptical tradition which styled itself "Pyrrhonism." Bett argues, on the contrary, that Pyrrho's philosophy was significantly different from this later tradition, and offers the first detailed account of that philosophy in this light. Bett considers why Pyrrho was adopted as the...

Rethinking the Mediterranean
ISBN: 9780199265459 / Angielski / Twarda / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this collection of essays, an international group of renowned scholars attempt to establish the theoretical basis for studying the ancient and medieval history of the Mediterranean Sea and the lands around it. In so doing they range far afield to other Mediterraneans, real and imaginary, as distant as Brazil and Japan. Their work is an essential tool for understanding the Mediterranean, pre-modern and modern alike. It speaks to ancient and medieval historians, to archaeologists, anthropologists and all historians with environmental interests, and not least to classicists.

The Agricultural Revolution in Prehistory : Why did Foragers become Farmers?
ISBN: 9780199281091 / Angielski / Twarda / 598 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Agricultural Revolution in Prehistory addresses one of the most debated and least understood revolutions in the history of our species, the change from hunting and gathering to farming. Graeme Barker takes a global view, and integrates a massive array of information from archaeology and many other disciplines, including anthropology, botany, climatology, genetics, linguistics, and zoology. Against current orthodoxy, Barker develops a strong case for the development of agricultural systems in many areas as transformations in the life-ways of the indigenous forager societies, and argues...
