Minor edgewear to DJ.; Expanding the discussion of religious participation of women in ancient Rome Celia E. Schultz demonstrates that in addition to observances of marriage fertility and childbirth there were more--and more important--religious opportunities available to Roman women than are commonly considered. Based on research in ancient literature inscriptions and archaeological remains from the fifth to the first century B. C. E. Schultz's study shows that women honored gods unaffiliated with domestic matters including Hercules and Jupiter; they took part in commercial military and political rites; they often worshipped alongside men; and they were not confined to the private sphere the traditional domain of women. The Vestal Virgins did not stand alone but were instead the most prominent members of a group of women who held high-profile religious positions: priestesses of Ceres Liber and Venus; the flaminica Dialis and the regina sacrorum; other cult officials; and aristocratic matrons who often took leading roles in religious observances even though they were not priestesses. Schultz argues that women were vital participants--both professional and nonprofessional--in the religion of the Roman Republic and that social and marital status in addition to gender were important factors in determining their opportunities for religious participation in the public sphere.; Studies in the History of Greece and Rome; 248 pages . 0807830186 .

Very very light shelfwear else fine.; English summary: How did the Roman veterans make their lives after the end of the term of service and discharge from the army What positions did they take in the social and economic structures of their chosen residences There is scarcely other source material that offers more answers to these questions than that which remains in the surviving papyri from Egypt. Patrick Sanger uses the document collections of the veterans Aelius Sarapammon and Aelius Syrion to make possible a thorough analysis of the socio-economic position of the two protagonists who made their home in Ankyronpolis a village of mid-Egyptian region of Herakleopolis. The pertinent 19 archival texts P. Vet. Aelii span the time from the end of the 2nd to the middle of the 3rd century CR and are presented here some for the first time and some as a new edition. These documents which will not only garner interest by reason of their time period but also their contents serve as the point of departure for a presentation of the socio-economic situation of veterans in Egypt and other provinces of the Roman Empire as well as for the detailed study of the legal and administrative history.

20107548Franz Steiner Verlag. 2010. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Historia - Einzelschriften 210; 458 pages; English summary: The Roman Empire knew no institutionalized process that governed the transfer of power at the head of the empire. A change of government thus often led to crisis situations. Joachim Szidat examines elevations and usurpations of emperors in late antiquity after 337 through to the end of the western Empire in 476. Moreover he illuminates the time of the tetrarchy and the early Byzantine era up through the middle of the 6th Century. Starting from the analysis of individual cases of exemplary transfers of power the author works out the general processes in the seizure of power and their political and social circumstances and conditions. As crucial for the transfer and assurance of rule appears to be the role of the new political leadership particularly emphasizing the great importance of civilian dignitaries that developed during the rule of Constantine. The usurpation therefore constituted a political rather than military problem: the new claimant to power had to be recognized. German text. German description: Die romische Kaiserzeit kannte kein institutionalisiertes Verfahren das die Ubergabe der Macht an der Spitze des Reiches regelte. Ein Wechsel der Herrschaft fuhrte daher haufig zu Krisensituationen. Joachim Szidat untersucht Kaisererhebungen und Usurpationen in der Spatantike nach 337 bis zum Ende des Kaisertums im Westen 476. Ausserdem beleuchtet er die Zeit der Tetrarchie und die fruhbyzantische Epoche bis in die Mitte des 6. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehend von der Analyse exemplarischer Einzelfalle arbeitet der Autor die generellen Ablaufe bei der Machtubernahme sowie ihre politischen und gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen heraus. Als entscheidend fur die Weitergabe und Sicherung der Herrschaft erscheint dabei die Rolle der sich seit Konstantin bildenden neuen Fuhrungsschicht mit der grossen Bedeutung der zivilen Wurdentrager. Die Usurpation stellte daher eher ein politisches als ein militarisches Problem dar: Der Pratendent musste Anerkennung finden. . 3515096361 . Franz Steiner Verlag hardcover

The Author Is The First Scholar Of Turkish Origin To Publicly Acknowledge The Wwii Era Turkish Genocide Which Succeeded Many Other Waves Of Turkish Attacks On The Armenian Community In Turkey Which Were Extensively Reported In The West. Per Western Wikipedai Turkish Wikipedia Views Him Very Diferently Altug Taner Akçam Born 1953 Is A Turkish-German Historian And Sociologist.

He Is Recognized As A "Leading International Authority" On The Subject. Akçam's Frequent Participation In Public Debates On The Legacy Of The Genocide Have Been Compared To Theodor Adorno's Role In Postwar Germany. Akçam Argues For An Attempt To Reconcile The Differing Armenian And Turkish Narratives Of The Genocide And To Move Away From The Behaviour Which Uses Those Narratives To Support National Stereotypes Saying: "We Have To Re-Think The Problem And Place Both Societies In The Centre Of Our Analysis. This Change Of Paradigm Should Focus On Creating A New Cultural Space That Includes Both Societies A Space In Which Both Sides Have The Chance To Learn From Each Other." On March 9 1976 Soon After Graduating From University While A Graduate Student At The Same Department He Was Arrested For His Involvement In Producing A Student Journal That Focused On The Treatment Of Kurds In Turkey. He Received A Nine-Year Sentence In Early 1977 Which Resulted In Amnesty International Naming Him As A Prisoner Of Conscience. He Served For A Year Before Escaping From Ankara Central Prison On March 12 1977 Using The Leg Of An Iron Stove To Dig A Hole. He Received Political Asylum From West Germany In 1978 Where He Obtained Citizenship And Resided Until Obtaining His Doctorate Degree In 1995. In August 1988 Akçam Began Work As A Research Scientist At The Hamburg Institute For Social Research Following An Invitation From Iranian Scholar Hadi Ressesade. Ressesade Who Was Studying Torture In Iran Proposed That Akçam Could Do A Study On Torture In Turkey. Akçam Decided To Study Armenians After Meeting A German Librarian Of Lebanese-Armenian Origin Who Urged Him To Do So. In 1991 He Organized A Workshop On The Ottoman Military Tribunal That Judged The Crimes Of The Armenian Genocide. He Later Recalled "As I Progressed In My Readings Of Abdul Hamid's Massacres I Thought To Myself: I Know The History Of The French Revolution Of Russia In 1917 Of Chinese Communism But I Do Not Know Turkish History." Akçam Was Initially Reluctant To Use The Word "Genocide" For Anti-Armenian Violence Because "By Qualifying It A Genocide You Become A Member Of A Collective Associated To A Crime Not Any Crime But To The Ultimate Crime". He Received His Phd From Leibniz University Hannover With A Dissertation Titled Turkish Nationalism And The Armenian Genocide: On The Background Of The Military Tribunals In Istanbul Between 1919 And 1922. <br/> <br/> Princeton University Press hardcover

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 .

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 .
