WAR AND SOCIETY IN THE ROMAN WORLD

Minor shelfwear else Fine; Leicester-Nottingham Studies in Ancient Society; 0.88 x 8.5 x 5.5 Inches; 328 pages; The essays in War and Society in the Roman World collectively offer an innovative investigation into this area of classical studies, a field which has long been in need of different critical perspectives. This collection avoids rehashing the minutiae of warfare, viewing it instead as a species of social action, affected by social conditions and ideologies, and having social, economic and cultural consequences. The central theme of this volume is the shifting relationship between warfare and the Roman citizen body. The dominant role of war in Roman life under the Republic is examined, together with the related themes of Roman expansion and its consequences both for the Romans and for those they conquered. Under the principate, expansion largely ended, and the inhabitants of the empire enjoyed the Roman peace, protected by a professional army. A number of chapters focus on these changes, explaining how they came about, analyzing their effect on attitudes to war and probing the extent to which peace was a reality. The final chapters study the Late Empire in terms of the rise of warlords and, in the West, the final disappearance of the Roman army.

GEWALT UND LEID Das Bild Des Krieges Bei Den Athenern Im 6. Und 5. Jh. V. Chr.

Lower corners bumped. Else minor shelfwear. ; In German with a detailed summary in Turkish. The work examines the literary and archaeological works in order to understand a view on the violence in war in Athens of 6th and 5th centuries BCE. The study starts with the depictions of the Iliad and Iliupersis, which are found extensively in the Attic vase pictures. Due to the increase in the number of finds recently, it is now possible to use statistical methods. The study has yielded that the depiction of war - in the pictures and in evaluation - is not the same at all times. The same point is valid for the other warriors and civilians - the victims of war. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 322 pages
