Family and Familia in Roman Law and Life
ISBN: 9780198152170 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Ancient Roman families were very diverse, of course, but the basis of Roman civil law was the familia, a strictly defined group consisting of a head, called a paterfamilias, and his descendants in the male line. Recent work on the Roman family mainly ignores the familia, examining instead such matters as emotional relationships within families, the practical effects of control by a paterfamilias, and demographic factors producing families which did not fit the familia pattern. Gardner investigates the complex relationship that existed between family and familia, illustrating in particular how...

Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa
ISBN: 9780198152354 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 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...

Tacitus Reviewed
ISBN: 9780198152583 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Tacitus was Rome's greatest historian, and the Annals his greatest work. This book collects A.J. Woodman's writings on Tacitus over the past twenty-five years, focusing almost exclusively on the Annals. Woodman offers new or different interpretations of some of the most famous passages in the work, and argues that, through familiarity, generations of scholars have misread significant passages, thereby gaining and perpetuating a distorted view of what Tacitus had to say, especially about Tiberius. His iconoclastic insights will have major implications for those who wish to use the Annals as a...

Beyond the Rubicon: Romans and Gauls in Republican Italy
ISBN: 9780198153009 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Throughout the middle and late Republican periods (fourth to first centuries BC) the Romans lived in fear and loathing of the Gauls of northern Italy, caused primarily by their collective historical memory of the destruction of the city of Rome by Gauls in 387 BC. By examining the literary evidence relating to the historical, ethnographic, and geographic writings of Greeks and Romans of the period focussing on invasion and conflict, this book attempts to answer the questions how and why the Gauls became the deadly enemy of the Romans. Dr. Williams also examines the problematic notion of the...

The Empire of the Tetrarchs: Imperial Pronouncements and Government Ad 284-324
ISBN: 9780198153047 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The era of Diocletian and Constantine--when the Christian church passed from persecution to imperial favor--saw far-reaching administrative changes that established the structure of government in the Roman Empire for three hundred years. This was a complex period of cooperation and rivalry between co-emperors, the result of Diocletian's experiment in government by four rulers, the tetrarchs. Drawing together material from a wide variety of sources, Corcoran studies the vast range of documents issued by the emperors and their officials, and assesses how effectively the machinery of government...

Goths and Romans Ad 332-489
ISBN: 9780198202349 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This is a scholarly study of the collision of Goths and Romans in the fourth and fifth centuries. Gothic tribes played a major role in the destruction of the western half of the Roman Empire between 350 and 500, establishing successor kingdoms in southern France and Spain (the Visigoths), and in Italy (the Ostrogoths). Our historical understanding of this Migration Period' has been based upon the Gothic historian Jordanes, whose mid-sixth-century Getica suggests that the Visigoths and Ostrogoths entered the Empire already established as coherent groups and simply conquered new...

Law and Family in Late Antiquity: The Emperor Constantine's Marriage Legislation
ISBN: 9780198208228 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This is a new and thought-provoking look at law and marriage in late antiquity, dealing particularly with the legislation on marriage enacted by the Roman emperor Constantine. Though Constantine is usually accepted as being the first Christian emperor, Judith Grubbs argues here that the extent of Christian influence on his marriage legislation was limited. Her study of his laws against the background of both classical Roman law and early Christian attitudes toward marriage reveals much about contemporary behavior and belief in this period.

Orthodoxy and the Courts in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780198208419 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book approaches the subject of late Roman law from the perspective of legal practice revealed in courtroom processes, as well as more "informal" types of dispute settlement. From at least the early fourth century, leading bishops, ecclesiastics, and Christian polemicists participated in a vibrant culture of forensic argument, with far-reaching effects on theological debate, the development of ecclesiastical authority, and the elaboration of early "Canon law." One of the most innovative aspects of late Roman law was the creation and application of new legal categories used in the...

ISBN: 9780198721406 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sallust (86-35 BC) was a historian of major importance, writing at the time of the late Roman Republic. This is the first full-length commentary and English translation of one of his major works, the Histories, covering the years 78-67 BC--one of the most poorly documented periods of the era. The translation is based on a fresh examination of the text and also includes newly-discovered material with a bearing on the interpretation of the text.

The Sites of Rome: Time, Space, Memory
ISBN: 9780199217496 / Angielski / Twarda / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Rome was a building site for much of its history, a city continually reshaped and reconstituted in line with political and cultural change. In later times, the conjunction of ruins and rebuilding lent the cityscape a particularly fascinating character, much exploited by artists and writers. This layering and changing of vistas also finds expression in the literary tradition, from classical times right up to the twenty-first-century. This collection of essays offers glimpses, sideways glances and unexpected angles that open up Rome in its widest possible sense, and explores how the visible...

Agrarian Change in Late Antiquity: Gold, Labour, and Aristocratic Dominance
ISBN: 9780199226030 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The economy of the late antique Mediterranean is still largely seen through the prism of Weber's influential essay of 1896. Rejecting that orthodoxy, Jairus Banaji argues that the late empire saw substantial economic and social change, propelled by the powerful stimulus of a stable gold coinage that circulated widely. In successive chapters Banaji adduces fresh evidence for the prosperity of the late Roman countryside, the expanding circulation of gold, the restructuring of agrarian elites, and the extensive use of paid labour, above all in the period spanning the fifth to seventh centuries....

Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces
ISBN: 9780199237845 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Coins were the most deliberate of all symbols of public communal identities, yet the Roman historian will look in vain for any good introduction to, or systematic treatment of, the subject. Sixteen leading international scholars have sought to address this need by producing this authoritative collection of essays, which ranges over the whole Roman world from Britain to Egypt, from 200 BC to AD 300. The subject is approached through surveys of the broad geographical and chronological structure of the evidence, through chapters which focus on ways of expressing identity, and through regional...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Roman empire radically affected geographical conceptions, evoking new ways of describing the earth and of constructing its history. This book explores the writings of three literary figures of the age--Polybius, Posidonius, and Strabo--and how they used and transformed pre-existing Greek traditions in order to describe the new world of Rome.

Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture
ISBN: 9780199240241 / Angielski / Miękka / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Flower explains why the Roman elite commemorated politically prominent family members with wax masks worn by actors at the funerals of the deceased. She looks at literary sources, legal texts, epigraphy, archaeology, numismatics, and art, tracing the functional evolution of ancestor masks, from the third century BC to the sixth century AD. By putting these masks into their legal, social, and political context, Flower elucidates their central position in the media of the time and their special meaning as symbols of power and prestige.

Law, Society, and Authority in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780199240326 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The sixteen papers in this volume investigate the links between law and society during Late Antiquity (260-640 CE). On the one hand, they consider how social changes such as the barbarian settlement and the rise of the Christian church resulted in the creation of new sources of legal authority, such as local and "vulgar" law, barbarian law codes, and canon law. On the other, they investigate the interrelationship between legal innovations and social change.
