201215860Franz Steiner Verlag. 2012. Softcover. Very Good. Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine.; Silvanus war einer der populärsten Götter in den Donauprovinzen. Er prägte das religiöse Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbevölkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten Städten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Phänomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erklärt. In Peripherie-Denken wird für diese Differenz eine neue Erklärung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begründung sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion für die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religiöse Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar es leistet auch einen Ansatz für eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge Pawb Band 35; 340 pages . 351509945X .

201039747Johns Hopkins University Press. 2010. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Minor shelfwear to book.; Stephen L. Dyson has spent a lifetime studying and teaching the history of ancient Rome. That unparalleled knowledge is reflected in his magisterial overview of the Eternal City. Rather than look only at the physical development of the city-its buildings monuments and urban spaces-Dyson also explores its social economic and cultural histories. This unique approach situates Rome against a background of comparative urban history and theory allowing Dyson to examine the dynamic society that once thrived there. In his personal effort to reconstruct the city Dyson populates its streets with the hurried politicians hawking vendors and animated students that once lived worked and studied there bringing the ancient city to life for a new generation of students and tourists. Dyson follows Rome as it developed between the third century BC and the fourth century AD dividing the great megalopolis into distinct neighborhoods and locales. He shows how these communities each with its own unique customs and colorful inhabitants eventually grew into the great imperial capital of the Italian Empire. Dyson integrates the full range of sources available-literary artistic epigraphic and archaeological-to create a comprehensive history of the monumental city. In doing so he offers a dramatic picture of a complex and changing urban center that despite its flaws flourished for centuries.; Ancient Society And History; 6 X 1.39 X 9 inches; 488 pages . 0801892538 .

Type: Book It is universally recognised that Venice and its lagoon are of such value that they constitute an international public good that must be preserved for humanity as a whole. But such an ambitious task requires a diversified sustainable set of economic activities mostly focused on the production of services and non-material goods. This complex issue is analyzed using different approaches with a discussion of the case of Venice as an example of some of the most relevant problems concerning the relation between the environment and development in the contemporary world: the trade-off between preserving an ecosystem and considering it as an economic resource; the evolution of different urban growth scenarios and the preservation of a physical habitat; the role of immaterial production in urban economic development; the nature of tourism as a sustainable activity considered from both from the environmental and cultural angles; the institutional aspect of governing a process of sustainable urban development. 269pp. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover

This statement is equally applicable for that century between 146 and 31 BC which today is usually designated the Late Roman Republic. On the basis of often rather meagre facts reputations have been constructed and as a result whole careers became mythologised by later writers even in antiquity. The main aim of this volume is to question certain reputations in order to place into a more realistic historical context the subjects under discussion. . 1868881989 . Unisa Press paperback
200638317Oxford University Press. 2006. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Digitally reprinted; 364 pages; The Roman World of Cicero's De Oratore aims to provide an accessible study of Cicero's first and fullest dialogue on the ideal orator-statesman. It illustrates the dialogue's achievement as a reflection of a civilized way of life and a brilliantly constructed literary unity and considers the contribution made by Cicero's recommendations to the development of rhetoric and higher education at Rome. Because Cicero deliberately set his extended conversation in the generation of his childhood teachers a study of the dialogue in its historical setting can show how the political and cultural life of this earlier period differed from Cicero's personal experience of the collapse of senatorial government when the overwhelming power of the "first triumvirate" forced him into political silence in the last decade of the republic. After an introductory chapter reviewing Cicero's position on return from exile chapters include a comparative study of the careers of M. Antonius and L. Licinius Crassus protagonists of the dialogue a discussion of Cicero's response to Plato's criticisms of rhetoric in the Gorgias and Phaedrus and his debt to Aristotle's Rhetoric analysis of the dialogue's treatment of Roman civil law existing Latin literature and historical writing Strabo's survey of the sources and application of humor political eloquence in senate and contio theories of diction and style and the techniques of oral delivery. An epilogue looks briefly at Cicero's De re publica and Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus as reflections on the transformation of oratory and free if oligarchic republican government by debate to meet the context of the new autocracy. . 0199263159 .

Xx 337pp. The ancient Romans are usually thought of as a monolithic ethnic group though in fact they formed a self-consciously pluralistic society. In this book Gary D. Farney explores how senators from Rome's Republican period celebrated and manipulated their ethnic identity to get ahead in Rome's political culture. He examines how politicians from these lands tried to advertise positive aspects of their ethnic identity how others tried to re-create a negative identity into something positive and how ethnic identity advertisement developed over the course of Republican history. Finally in an epilogue Farney addresses how the various Italic identities coalesced into a singular Italian identity in the Empire and how Rome's experience with Italic groups informed how it perceived other groups such as Gauls Germans and Greeks.; 337 pages . 0521151805 .

20061425Brill Academic Publishers. 2006. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. New in plastic wrapping; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World 157; 9 x 2.5 x 5 Inches; 447 pages; This study deals essentially with the knowledge of the Palestinian Rabbis concerning paganism in the days of Mishna and Talmud. The Late Professor Saul Lieberman wrote that "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic". This valuable and exhaustive study proves methodically that the Rabbis had deeper knowledge about Syrian Arabian Anatolian and Graeco-Roman Pagan cults than is commonly believed. Clear accessible and displaying considerable scholarship this work will undoubtedly provide an important challenge to both historians archaeologists and scholars of Rabbinic texts. Cette étude traite essentiellement du niveau de connaissances des Rabbins de Judée et de Galilée concernant les cultes païens dans le sens le plus large du terme. Le Professeur Saul Lieberman affirmait : "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic" Ce travail exhaustif à travers l’ensemble du corpus talmudique et au regard de la réalité historique propre à la Palestine romaine montre méthodiquement que les connaissances des Sages tant sur les divinités du paganisme que sur des rites syriens arabes anatoliens voire gréco-romains étaient bien plus vastes et approfondies que ce qu’il est communément admis aujourd’hui par la recherche historique. De part sa clareté et son accessibilité ce livre intéressera aussi bien les historiens du peuple juif que ceux des religions antiques. Les archéologues les historiens du Levant à l’époque romaine ainsi que les spécialistes de la littérature talmudique y trouveront également un vif intérêt en vertu de son aspect extrêmement novateur. . 9004146431 .
