19991908Oxford University Press. 1999. Softcover. Fine. National University Series; 0.87 x 9.06 x 6.14 Inches; 400 pages; The family continues to be seen as a central institution in Roman as well as modern Western society. The Roman family is often used as a stereotype sometimes of severity sometimes of decadence with its decline often cited as a cause of wider decline and fall. Definitions and concepts continue to be modified and nuanced however as the availability of new evidence and new methodologies make possible a much less simplistic picture. In this volume the study of family draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop the intertwined themes of status sentiment and space. For example on status there are contributions about Junian Latins and a survey of senators' monuments while sentiment is represented by a gloomy but convincing picture of old age and a paper on the sentimental ideal which argues that conflict as well as concord is a feature of family life. Space is represented among others by the contribution on who commemorates whom in Roman Italy pointing up the regional variations in custom and the difficulties in tracing complete families. The final contributions focus on the house: how people lived in the Roman house the use of rooms and the artefacts that might indicate this use. The book makes use of many types of evidence from the legal and literary to the iconographical and archaeological. Visual and material evidence play an important role in reconstructing real lives in considerable colour and variety. The book moves beyond the city of Rome to the rest of Roman Italy and even into the provinces just as Roman culture moved outwards and mingled with other cultures. Chronologically too there are new directions towards the later Empire and Christianity. So although the contributors do not abandon any of the territory already gained in Rome nor literary and epigraphical sources nor the late Republic or early Empire there is an exciting sense of new discovery. . 0198152833 .

"Advances reflections on the religiosity of the Indo-European speaking peoples originating from a common Bronze Age nucleus. Examines the inate religiosity of the European peoples." - back cover. "If in our era of the 'Decline of the West' the last remnants of the Western Indo-European peoples are submerged due to the dearth of true-blooded Nordics then nevertheless the last few survivors will retain that same Indo-European conviction which supported and inspired 'the last Romans' who witnessed the conversion of the aristocratic Roman repulbic into the 'de-Romised' empire - the proud belief in inflexible and unyeilding courage before destiny which will be portrayed in this work as characteristically Indo-European and above all Nordic." - Foreword to the sixth German edition. "Hans F.K. Gunther 1891-1968 joined the Nazi Party in 1932 the only leading racial theorist to do so before Hitler's rise to power in 1933 and Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering were students of his works attending his inaugural lecture at Jena in 1930. In 1935 he was declared the 'pride of the NSDAP' for his work. He was interned for three years after World War II denied the Holocaust and supported eugenicist causes until his death." - Historica Fandom website. First published in the 1930s. Text in English.

201016597Cambridge University Press. 2010. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine.; 270 pages; This book examines the connection between political and religious power in the pagan Roman Empire through a study of senatorial religion. Presenting a new collection of historical epigraphic prosopographic and material evidence it argues that as Augustus turned to religion to legitimize his powers senators in turn also came to negotiate their own power as well as that of the emperor partly in religious terms. In Rome the body of the senate and priesthoods helped to maintain the religious power of the senate; across the Empire senators defined their magisterial powers by following the model of emperors and by relying on the piety of sacrifice and benefactions. The ongoing participation and innovations of senators confirm the deep ability of imperial religion to engage the normative symbolic and imaginative aspects of religious life among senators. . 0521897246 .
