DJ spine sunned with a bit of sunning to panels.; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme 1903-89. His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books The Roman Revolution which appeared in 1939 and Tacitus two volumes 1958 - although he went on to produce many more monographs and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war Syme had continued to write in these years in particular 'Strabonia' investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work but what he had written with almost complete annotation represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo at the same time providing rich detail on client kings Roman generals and emperors writers and travellers. Above all he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia.; 424 pages . 0198149433 . Oxford University Press hardcover

201417834Oxford University Press. 2014. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures are resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments and are therefore embedded within a narrative which serves various purposes depending on the director of the film its screenwriters the studio the country of its origin and the sociopolitical context at the time of its production. Using a diverse array of hermeneutic approaches such as gender theory feminist criticism psychoanalysis viewer-response theory and personal voice criticism the essays aim to cast light on cinema's investments in the classical past and decode the mechanisms whereby the women under examination are extracted from their original context and are brought to life to serve as vehicles for the articulation of modern ideas concerns and cultural trends. The volume thus aims to investigate not only how antiquity on the screen depicts and in this process distorts compresses contests and revises antiquity on the page but also more crucially why the medium follows such eclectic representational strategies vis-a-vis the classical world.; Classical Presences; 400 pages . 0199678928 .

201233258Oxford University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. DJ flaps are creased. Faint yellowing to DJ.; In antiquity Rome represented one of the world's great cultural capitals. The city constituted a collective repository for various commemoratives cultural artefacts and curiosities not to mention plunder taken in war and over its history became what we might call a "museum city." Ancient Rome as a Museum considers how cultural objects and memorabilia both from Rome and its empire came to reflect a specific Roman identity and in some instances to even construct or challenge Roman perceptions of power and of the self. In this volume Rutledge argues that Roman cultural values and identity are indicated in part by what sort of materials Romans deemed worthy of display and how they chose to display view and preserve them. Grounded in the growing field of museum studies this book includes a discussion on private acquisition of cultural property and asks how well the Roman community at large understood the meaning and history behind various objects and memorabilia. Of particular importance was the use of collections by a number of emperors in the further establishment of their legitimacy and authority. Through an examination of specific cultural objects Rutledge questions how they came to reflect or even perpetuate Roman values and identity.; Oxford Studies In Ancient Culture & Representation; 9.7 X 7.7 X 1.2 inches; 424 pages . 0199573239 .
