Children and Childhood in Roman Italy
ISBN: 9780199240340 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 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...

The Roman Nude: Heroic Portrait Statuary 200 BC - Ad 300
ISBN: 9780199240494 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Statues of important Romans frequently represented them nude. Men were portrayed naked holding weapons. The naked emperor might wield the thunderbolt of Jupiter, while Roman women assumed the guide of the nude love-goddess, Venus.

This book offers a new approach. Comprehensively illustrated with black and white photographs of its subjects, it investigates how this tradition arose, and how the...

Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome
ISBN: 9780199262120 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Flavian Rome has most often been studied without serious attention to its most prolific extant author, Titus Flavius Josephus. Josephus, in turn, has usually been studied for what he is writing about (mainly, events in Judaea) rather than for the context in which he wrote: Flavian Rome. For the first time, this book brings these two phenomena into critical engagement, so that Josephus may illuminate Flavian Rome, and Flavian Rome, Josephus. Who were his likely audiences or patrons in Rome? How did the context in which he wrote affect his writing? What do his narratives say or imply about that...

Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces
ISBN: 9780199265268 / Angielski / Twarda / 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...

ISBN: 9780199278121 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This volume brings together seven seminal papers by the great radical historian Geoffrey de Ste. Croix, who died in 2000, on early Christian topics, with a special focus on persecution and martyrdom. Christian martyrdom is a topic which conjures up ready images of inhumane persecutors confronted by Christian heroes who perish for the instant but win the long-term battle for reputation. In five of these essays Ste. Croix scrutinizes the evidence to reveal the significant role of Christians themselves, first as volunteer martyrs and later, after the triumph of Christianity in the early fourth...

Greek Athletics in the Roman World: Victory and Virtue
ISBN: 9780199279302 / Angielski / Twarda / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The enduring importance of Greek athletic training and competition during the period of the Roman Empire has been a neglected subject in past scholarship on the ancient world. This book examines the impact that Greek athletics had on the Roman world, approaching it through the plentiful surviving visual evidence, viewed against textual and epigraphic sources. It shows that the traditional picture of Roman hostility has been much exaggerated. Instead Greek athletics came to exercise a profound influence upon Roman spectacle and bathing culture. In the Greek east of the empire too, athletics...

Gender, Domesticity, and the Age of Augustus: Inventing Private Life
ISBN: 9780199280827 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The age of Augustus has long been recognized as a time when the Roman state put a new emphasis on "traditional" feminine domestic ideals, yet at the same time gave real public prominence to certain women in their roles as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Kristina Milnor takes up a series of texts and their contexts in order to explore this paradox. Through an examination of authors such as Vitruvius, Livy, Valerius Maximus, Seneca the Elder, and Columella, she argues that female domesticity was both a principle and a problem for early imperial writers, as they sought to construct a new...

From the third century AD, barbarians attacked and then overran the west. Some--Goths, Franks, Saxons--are well known, others less so.

This pioneering study, the first in English, uses new historical and archaeological findings to reconstruct the origins of the Alamanni, their settlements, their politics, and their society, and to establish the nature of their relationship with...
