A couple of tiny dots to textblock (as published? ). Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear. ; Library of Classical Studies; 320 pages; Late Antiquity, the period of transition from the crisis of Roman Empire in the third century to the Middle Ages, has traditionally been considered only in terms of the "decline" from classical standards. Recent classical scholarship strives to consider this period on its own terms. Taking the reign of Constantine the Great as its starting point, this book examines the unique intersection of rhetoric, religion and politics in Late Antiquity. Expert scholars come together to examine ancient rhetorical texts to explore the ways in which late antique authors drew upon classical traditions, presenting Roman and post-Roman religious and political institutions in order to establish a desired image of a "new era." This book provides new insights into how the post-Roman Germanic West, Byzantine East and Muslim South appropriated and transformed the political, intellectual and cultural legacy inherited from the late Roman Empire and its borderlands.
Minor creasing to wraps. ; 2 vol. (XXI-282 p. , 112 pp of pl. + 15 p. -[1] foldout ) La présente étude comporte une analyse des vestiges architecturaux du théâtre de Délos, une nouvelle publication des passages des comptes des gestionnaires de la caisse sacrée concernant sa construction et son entretien, enfin une synthèse sur les concours qui y étaient célébrés. Elle permet de restituer l’évolution du projet et les étapes du chantier entre la fin du ive siècle et les environs de 240 avant J. -C. , de préciser les modes de mise en scène des spectacles à l’époque hellénistique. Elle conduit aussi à cerner la place du monument dans l’architecture et l’urbanisme déliens. Le théâtre de Délos, qui associe des gradins en demi-cercles outrepassés et un bâtiment de scène à proskènion et skènè avec un étage à front percé de larges baies, est tributaire des édifices réalisés à Athènes puis à Épidaure. Certains de ses dispositifs se rencontrent uniquement dans les Cyclades, à Cos et sur une courte frange de la côte occidentale de l’Asie Mineure. ; Exploration Archéologique De Délos. XLII

Very slight bump to bottom back corner else Fine. ; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World, 146; Vol. 3.2; 0.9 x 9.7 x 6 Inches; 256 pages; This volume analyzes the priesthood of the provincial cult in every province of the Latin west where evidence has survived in the period from Augustus down to the mid third century. Particular attention is paid to the epigraphic record, notably the Testimony of honorific statues especially at provincial centres, but discussion also focusses on the origin and background of provincial priests, their office and duties, and their careers both before and after holding provincial office. Of special interest are the sixteen tables that list the main facts preserved by the epigraphic record, also a concluding overview that summarizes the principal features of the institution including the office of priestess and the role of administrative officials. Some fifty plates illustrate the text.

The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J. -P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writers. This book, a collection of essays by leading scholars, incorporates all these subjects and provides a theoretical background for the study of animal sacrifice in an ancient context. ; 9.1 X 6.1 X 0.8 inches; 224 pages
