199527987Oxford University Press. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Else very minor shelfwear to book. DJ spine sunned with a bit of sunning to panels.; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme 1903-89. His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books The Roman Revolution which appeared in 1939 and Tacitus two volumes 1958 - although he went on to produce many more monographs and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war Syme had continued to write in these years in particular 'Strabonia' investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work but what he had written with almost complete annotation represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo at the same time providing rich detail on client kings Roman generals and emperors writers and travellers. Above all he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia.; 424 pages . 0198149433 . Oxford University Press hardcover

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Bottom corners of book lightly bumped else book is fine.; 246 pages; This volume brings together fifteen studies written since 1972 on the notorious Historia Augusta. Syme advances the theory supported by computer evidence that the papers are the work of only one person rather than six as they purport and that they were written considerably later than the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine. He argues that taken as a whole the papers are a work of "fictional history" and constitute an elaborate and erudite hoax. . 0198148534 . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Stobart Was A Classical Scholar A University Of Cambridge Lecturer An Hm Inspector Of Schools And The Bbc's First Director Of Education. After The War He Helped Organize The 1924 British Empire Exhibition At Wembley And In 1925 Joined The Bbc As Its First Director Of Education. He Was Responsible For Two Long-Lasting Programs Children's Hour And The Epilogue And According To One Source Suggested The Bbc's Motto 'Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation'. He Also Proposed Creating A New Cultural Network To Be Named The Minerva Programme After The Roman Goddess Of Wisdom But This Idea Was Turned Down And Was Not Realised Until The Creation Of 'The Third Programme' At The End Of The Second World War. Stobart Became Well-Known All Over The World For His Regular New Year's Eve Broadcast 'The Grand Good-Night'. He Disagrees With Edward Gibbon's Pessimistic View Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Pointing Out That 'The Mere Notion Of Empire Continuing To Decline And Fall For Five Centuries Is Ridiculous' And Remarking That 'This Is One Of The Cases Which Prove That History Is Made Not So Much By Heroes Or Natural Forces As By Historians' Since 'If All The Roman Historians Had Perished And Only The Inscriptions Remained We Should Have A Very Different Picture Of The Roman Empire A Picture Much Brighter And I Think Much More Faithful To Truth.' He Admires The Romans For Their Law Discipline Engineering And Especially Their Sanitation But It Is Clear That He Prefers The Greeks For Their Art Philosophy Mathematics And Literature. <br/> <br/> Sidgwick & Jackson / Lippincott hardcover

20083767Oxbow Books. 2008. Softcover. Fine. These ten papers from two Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference 2007 sessions bring together a growing body of new archaeological evidence in an attempt to reconsider the way in which the Roman army was provisioned. Clearly the adequate supply of food was essential to the success of the Roman military. But what was the nature of those supply networks Did the army rely on imperial supply lines from the continent as certainly appears to be the case for some commodities or were provisions requisitioned from local agricultural communities If the latter was the case was unsustainable pressure placed on such resources and how did local communities respond Alternatively did the early stages of conquest include not only the development of a military infrastructure but also an effective supply-chain network based on contracts Beyond the initial stages of conquest how were provisioning arrangements maintained in the longer term did supply chains remain static or did they change over time and if so what precipitated those changes Addressing such questions is critical if we are to understand the nature of Roman conquest and the extent of interaction between indigenous communities and the Roman army. Case studies come from Roman Britain Alchester Cheshire Dorset France the Netherlands and the Rhine Delta looking at evidence from animal products military settlements the size of cattle horses pottery and salt. The editors also provide a review of current research and suggest a future agenda for economic and environmental research.; 160 pages . 1842173235 . Oxbow Books paperback
