199316698University of California Press. 1993. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Very light shelfwear to DJ.; With a contribution by Lee Sherry.; Transformation of the Classical Heritage; 441 pages; The chaotic events of A. D. 395-400 marked a momentous turning point for the Roman Empire and its relationship to the barbarian peoples under and beyond its command. In this masterly study Alan Cameron proposes a complete rewriting of received wisdom concerning the social and political history of these years. Our knowledge of the period comes to us in part through Synesius of Cyrene who recorded his view of events in his De regno and De providentia. By redating these works Cameron offers a vital new interpretation of the interactions of pagans and Christians Goths and Romans. In 394/95 during the last four months of his life the emperor Theodosius I ruled as sole Augustus over a united Roman empire that had been divided between at least two emperors for most of the preceding one hundred years. Not only did the death of Theodosius set off a struggle between Roman officeholders of the two empires but it also set off renewed efforts by the barbarian Goths to sieze both territory and office. Theodosius had encouraged high-ranking Goths to enter Roman military service; thus well placed their efforts would lead to Alaric's sack of Rome in 410. Though Cameron's interest is in the particularities of events the book conveys a wonderful sense of the general time and place. Cameron's rebuttal of modern scholarship which pervades the narrative enhances the reader's engagement with the complexities of interpretation. The result is a sophisticated recounting of a period of crucial change in the Roman Empire's relationship to the non-Roman world. . 0520065506 . University of California Press hardcover

199932296University of Michigan Press. 1999. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Upper corner a bit bumped. DJ spine sunned. Else minor shelfwear.; The Papers and Monographs of the American Academy in Rome Vol. XXVII; 368 pages; Recent years have seen a welcome growth of interest in the history of early Rome. Libri Annales Pontificum Maximorum: the Origins of the Annalistic Tradition contributes important information on this period by focusing on the earliest stages of Roman historical writing. The book is once again available with a new Introduction by the author that brings the work up to date and helps place it in its current context. This book remains the starting point for study of the pre-annalistic tradition of Roman history. When first published the volume sparked a lively debate among classicists and historians of the ancient world. Previous scholarship had often assigned the pontifical chronicle a central role not only in preserving the history of the early Republic but also in shaping the form of the annalistic tradition. But the author showed that these assumptions rested on insecure foundations; to a large extent they misrepresented the historiographic development of the annalistic tradition as we know it from above all Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Perhaps the book's most controversial contention was that the final eighty-book edition of the chronicle which previous scholars had dated to the later second century BCE is more probably a massive reworking of materials in the Augustan period. This finding will likely require a considerable revision in our understanding of the development of the annalistic tradition. In the course of making these innovative arguments the author offers extensive information about the origins of the annalistic tradition and about the early history and historiography of Rome. Bruce W. Frier is Professor of Classics and Roman Law and Henry King Ransom Professor of Law University of Michigan. He has published numerous books and articles on classical and legal topics and has won the Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit from the American Philological Association. . 0472109154 .

20107446Franz Steiner Verlag. 2010. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Historia - Einzelschriften 213; 225 pages; Modern interpretations of the late Roman Republic have been dominated by the twin concepts of 'populares' and 'optimates' commonly assumed to refer to two antithetical political categories. However the definition of these groups is much debated: some historians see them as ideological movements or traditions others as differences of political style and method. This book asks whether this debate may in fact be chasing a mirage. Through a detailed analysis of the usage of the two terms in Cicero and his close contemporaries it is argued that they carried no clear political meaning. What emerges instead is a political language focused on the elite's fundamental concerns about internal divisions and the maintenance of aristocratic consensus. . 3515096434 .
