Small chip along top edge of DJ else Fine. ; 1.02 x 9.21 x 6.22 Inches; 304 pages; Why did the Western Roman empire collapse in the fifth century and the Eastern Roman empire survive for another thousand years? The Rome That Did Not Fall examines the two halves of the Roman empire in the fifth century the Latin West and the Greek East. Stephen Williams and Gerard Friell explore how, despite similar military and political turmoils, the western empire all but collapsed and the eastern empire survived and consolidated its power in the face of the invading barbarians, weak and immature emperors and intrigues around the throne. The Rome That Did Not Fall analyzes the remarkable recovery of the eastern empire, comparing the parallel and diverging developments in east and west, and tracing the evolution of new skills and strategies in the east diplomatic, military, political and fiscal. This well-illustrated and well-documented book provides a stimulating exploration of the fifth century Roman empire.

8vo; br., pp. 382. (Lit. Libri in Tasca). Il pugnale di Bruto grondava ancora di sangue quando, appena diciottenne, il giovane Ottaviano, nipote di Giulio Cesare, venne informato dell'assassinio del condottiero. Gli ideali che avevano fatto grande il periodo repubblicano, in quel momento, erano ridotti a maschere grottesche, mentre sullo stesso Senato romano regnavano indisturbati la corruzione e il caos. Proiettato in una spietata lotta per il potere, Ottaviano dovrà ricorrere alla forza delle spade e alle seduzioni della politica per trasformare in realtà il proprio destino: quello di essere, al culmine di sanguinose battaglie, proclamato "Augusto" e salutato come il padre dell'Impero. Raccontate dalla viva voce degli uomini e delle donne più vicini all'Imperatore, le gesta di Augusto, le guerre che lo videro opporsi trionfalmente alle forze di Marco Antonio e di Cleopatra, figure leggendarie come Marco Tullio Cicerone compongono un affresco di insuperata forza narrativa.

There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. 283p, map incdex Book
