The Etruscans Outside Etruria
ISBN: 9780892367672 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the last millennium B.C., before the coming of the Romans, the Etruscans built a thriving civilization in the western Mediterranean basin, which was rich in natural resources. From the eighth century B.C., Etruria became a destination on the Italian peninsula for refined works by artisans of the Hellenic regions, the Near East, and central Europe, and for masters from these regions, who emigrated and began to work for the local clientele. These artisans would contribute significantly to the development of an art that was recognizably Etruscan. The influence of Etruscan civilization on...

Sextus Aurelius Victor: A Historiographical Study
ISBN: 9780905205212 / Angielski / Twarda / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sextus Aurelius Victor was an imperial bureaucrat whose life spanned most of the fourth century AD. Harry Bird describes how Victor, a man of humble African origin, acquired by virtue of his education and personal qualities a consular governorship in Pannonia and the urban prefecture at Rome. Victor's short historical monograph, the De Caesaribus, reveals his attitudes towards education, culture, history and politics - attitudes which probably reflect those of a considerable segment of fourth-century society. We can therefore glimpse how the emperors, the senate, the army and the bureaucracy...

The Fifth-Century Chroniclers: Prosper, Hydatius and the Gallic Chronicle of 452
ISBN: 9780905205465 / Angielski / Miękka / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The fifth century AD has always been a period of intense interest for historians. At the beginning, the Roman Empire looked as impentrable as it had done for centuries, but by 500AD the world had changed beyond recognition. The western emperor had been deposed and the imperial government had lost control of most of Europe. From now on, inhabitants of western Europe lived in a post-Roman world. The writers of Latin histories in the fifth century were not concerned with the minutiae of politcs, or military affairs, they were Christians who saw the development of the world purely as God's plan...
