Very light bump to top of spine. Minor creasing along top edge of DJ.; Rome's transition from a republican system of government to an imperial regime comprised more than a century of civil upheaval and rapid institutional change. Yet the establishment of a ruling dynasty centered around a single leader came as a cultural and political shock to Rome's aristocracy who had shared power in the previous political order. How did the imperial regime manage to establish itself and how did the Roman elites from the time of Julius Caesar to Nero make sense of it In this compelling book Matthew Roller reveals a "dialogical" process at work in which writers and philosophers vigorously negotiated and contested the nature and scope of the emperor's authority despite the consensus that he was the ultimate authority figure in Roman society. Roller seeks evidence for this "thinking out" of the new order in a wide range of republican and imperial authors with an emphasis on Lucan and Seneca the Younger. He shows how elites assessed the impact of the imperial system on traditional aristocratic ethics and examines how several longstanding authority relationships in Roman society--those of master to slave father to son and gift-creditor to gift-debtor--became competing models for how the emperor did or should relate to his aristocratic subjects. By revealing this ideological activity to be not merely reactive but also constitutive of the new order Roller contributes to ongoing debates about the character of the Roman imperial system and about the "politics" of literature.; 296 pages; Signed by Author . 069105021X .

Per Wikipedia Paolo Sarpi O.S.M. 1552 - 1623 Was An Italian Servite Friar And Catholic Priest Who Was A Notable Historian Scientist Canon Lawyer Polymath And Statesman Active On Behalf Of The Venetian Republic During The Period Of Its Successful Defiance Of The Papal Interdict 1605-1607 And Its War 1615-1617 With Austria Over The Uskok Pirates. His Writings Frankly Polemical And Highly Critical Of The Catholic Church And Its Scholastic Tradition "Inspired Both Hobbes And Edward Gibbon In Their Own Historical Debunkings Of Priestcraft." Sarpi's Major Work The History Of The Council Of Trent 1619 Was Published In London In 1619; Other Works: A History Of Ecclesiastical Benefices History Of The Interdict And His Supplement To The History Of The Uskoks Appeared Posthumously. Organized Around Single Topics They Are Early Examples Of The Genre Of The Historical Monograph. As A Defender Of The Liberties Of Republican Venice And Proponent Of The Separation Of Church And State Sarpi Attained Fame As A Hero Of Republicanism And Free Thought And Possible Crypto Protestant.4 His Last Words "Esto Perpetua" "May She I.E. The Republic Live Forever" Were Recalled By John Adams In 1820 In A Letter To Thomas Jefferson When Adams "Wished 'As Devoutly As Father Paul For The Preservation Of Our Vast American Empire And Our Free Institutions' As Sarpi Had Wished For The Preservation Of Venice And Its Institutions." Sarpi Was Also An Experimental Scientist A Proponent Of The Copernican System A Friend And Patron Of Galileo Galilei And A Keen Follower Of The Latest Research On Anatomy Astronomy And Ballistics At The University Of Padua. His Extensive Network Of Correspondents Included Francis Bacon And William Harvey. Sarpi Believed That Government Institutions Should Rescind Their Censorship Of The Avvisi-The Newsletters That Started To Be Common In His Time-And Instead Of Censorship Publish Their Own Versions Of The News To Counter Enemy Publications. In That Spirit Sarpi Himself Published Several Pamphlets In Defence Of Venice's Rights Over The Adriatic. As Such Sarpi Could Be Considered As An Early Advocate Of The Freedom Of The Press Though The Concept Did Not Yet Exist In His Lifetime. On 5 October 1607 Sarpi Was Attacked By Assassins And Left For Dead With Three Stiletto Thrusts But He Recovered. His Attackers Found Both Refuge And A Welcome Reception In The Papal Territories Described By A Contemporary As A "Triumphal March" And Papal Enthusiasm For The Assassins Cooled Only After Learning That Brother Sarpi Was Not Dead After All. Sarpi Wrote Notes On François Viète Which Established His Proficiency In Mathematics And A Metaphysical Treatise Now Lost Which Is Said To Have Anticipated The Ideas Of John Locke. His Anatomical Pursuits Probably Date From An Earlier Period. They Illustrate His Versatility And Thirst For Knowledge But Are Otherwise Not Significant. His Claim To Have Anticipated William Harvey's Discovery Rests On No Better Authority Than A Memorandum Probably Copied From Andreas Caesalpinus Or Harvey Himself With Whom As Well As With Francis Bacon And William Gilbert Sarpi Corresponded. The Only Physiological Discovery Which Can Be Safely Attributed To Him Is That Of The Contractility Of The Iris. Sarpi Wrote On Projectile Motion In The Period 1578-84 In The Tradition Of Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia; And Then Again In Reporting On Guidobaldo Del Monte's Ideas In 1592 Possibly By Then Having Met Galileo Galilei. Galileo Corresponded With Him. Sarpi Heard Of The Telescope In November 1608 Perhaps Before Galileo. Details Then Came To Sarpi From Giacomo Badoer In Paris In A Letter Describing The Configuration Of Lenses. <br/> <br/> Sampson Low, Marston & Company hardcover

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 .
