The City in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780415144315 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The city was the nexus of the Roman Empire in its early centuries. The City in Late Antiquity charts the change undergone by cities as the Empire was weakened by the third-century crisis, and later disintegrated under external pressures. The old picture of the classical city as everywhere in decline by the fourth century is shown to be far too simple, and John Rich seeks to explain why urban life disappeared in some regions, while elsewhere cities survived through to the Middle Ages and beyond.

The History of Rome
ISBN: 9780415149532 / Angielski / Twarda / 1704 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Mommsen wanted to bring down the ancients from their fantastic pedestal into the real world. Most agree he succeeded and his book was soon translated into every major language and gained favour with a huge international public. Abused as a journalistic hack by his colleagues, part of Mommsen's appeal lay in his...

Roman Villas explores the social structures of the Roman world by analysing the plans of buildings of all sizes from slightly Romanized farms to palaces.
