DJ spine is sunned and discolored now in brodart. Light bump to top corner of book with small scratches to front board. ; 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

Light edgewear and creasing along top edge of DJ. ; Anger is found everywhere in the ancient world, from the very first word of the Iliad through all literary genres and every aspect of public and private life. Yet, it is only very recently that classicists, historians, and philosophers have begun to study anger in antiquity. This volume includes significant new studies by authors from different disciplines and countries on the literary, philosophical, medical, and political aspects of ancient anger. ; Yale Classical Studies XXXII; 336 pages
DJ has light edgewear to extremities. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 233 pages; Athens was the dominant maritime power in the West from the eighth to fourth centuries BCE. Athenian preeminence insured that its maritime law was accepted throughout the Mediterranean world. Indeed, its influence outlasted Athens and is the only area of classical Greek law that wasn't replaced entirely by Roman models. Codified during the Roman period in the Rhodian Sea laws, it went on to influence the subsequent development of European commercial and maritime law. Cohen explores the development of Athenian maritime law, the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts and the Athenian principles that have endured to the present day.

Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (34 x 23 cm). In English and Turkish. [viii], 163 p., ills. Ancient coins: The Roman world. "Every year a number of books of Roman coinage appear on the market. To write another one, when so many works on the subject occupy the shelves of the libraries, is to say the least a bold enterprise. It can be justified only if the book differs in essence from all the previous works. (.) The present work is, so far as I can ascertain, the only one of its kind to appear in print. It is merely a survey when compared to the many volumes of treaties published on the subject. I do hope that this modest handbook will allow collectors to talk about the pieces in their collection with some authority as well as provide them with an insight into the various aspects of Roman coinage, the whole compressed within 170 pages".
