ill., br. Roma non è caduta. O almeno cosi dicono le più recenti teorie storiografiche. La transizione al dominio germanico sarebbe stata graduale e pacifica, risultato di una progressiva integrazione delle popolazioni del nord, vitali ma primitive, nel grande organismo imperiale, raffinato e ormai prossimo all'esaurimento. II loro mescolarsi avrebbe dato vita a una nuova era di positive trasformazioni culturali. Niente affatto, sostiene Bryan Ward-Perkins. Ma quale integrazione, quale proficua sistemazione delle popolazioni esterne entro i confini dell'impero! "I Germani che invasero l'impero d'Occidente occuparono o estorsero con la minaccia della forza la massima parte dei territori in cui si stabilirono, senza alcun accordo formale sulla divisione delle risorse con i loro nuovi sudditi romani. Dovunque si abbiano testimonianze di una certa ampiezza, la norma era indubbiamente la conquista o la resa alla minaccia della forza, e non un accordo pacifico".

Ex-library copy with usual stamps and traces of removed pocket (to ffep). No call numbers to spine. ; Seutonius, a Roman historian, was the author of "The Lives of the Caesars". This biography sets the historian's career and his method of dealing with his subject matter in the context of Roman society in the early Empire, and draws a picture of the coherence of Suetonius's life, appointments, scholarship and literary activities. Seutonius is presented as a man of learning, rather than as a failed narrative historian. This portrait takes account of evidence concerning his life and seeks to clarify the character of "The Lives of the Caesars" as a description of emperors and Roman imperial society by a scholarly biographer who himself was in the service of a scholarly Caesar; Classical Life and Letters; 216 pages

Light edgewear to wraps. Spine a bit creased. ; This lavishly illustrated catalogue coincides with a major international exhibition celebrating images of Cleopatra. It explores how she was depicted during her own era, in works ranging from coins to life-size sculpture. Exciting new discoveries are featured--including seven Egyptian-style statues believed to represent Cleopatra, and two portraits probably commissioned while she was living in Rome with Julius Caesar. The book also examines interpretations of Cleopatra from the Renaissance to modern times, as seen in paintings, ceramics, jewelry, plays, operas, and film. In addition, recent archaeological finds from Alexandria (Cleopatra's capital) and from Rome illustrate aspects of life in Cleopatra's day. ; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; 384 pages
Faint yellowing to rear wraps. ; Few rulers have surpassed the first Roman Emperor Augustus in the use of visual propaganda. The images he chose for his portraits, and the designs stamped on his coins or carved on his public monuments, were skilfully chosen to cloak the reality of his power by setting the benefits of his autocracy against a Republican façade. This book introduces the historical background to Augustan portraiture and illustrates the development of the emperor's public image from the beginning of his career in 44 BC to the posthumous portraits which likened him to a god. Includes images of coins of Alexander the Great, Seleucus, Julius Caesar and others. ; 47 pages

vii, 126 + Tipped in errata, and an apology from the printer (King & Baird) for the paper stock. Fragmentary original wraps. The copy of General John Watts de Peyster, who is mentioned in "To the Reader" XLib . This is a response to a work by Scott Frederick Surtees (1814-1889) dealing with Julius Caesar and the Invasion of Britain, 55 B.C. It is very scarce. ohn Watts de Peyster, Sr. (1821-1907), was an author on the art of war, philanthropist, and early Adjutant General of the New York National Guard. He served in the New York State Militia during the Mexican-American War and American Civil War. He was one of the first American military critics and noted for his histories of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and also published works of drama, poetry, military history, and military biography.

Acquaforte e bulino, circa 1690. "In alto al centro lo stemma SPQR sormontato da una corona. Il prototipo iniziale per questo tipologia di panorami è identificabile nel panorama inciso dal Silvestre nel 1642 (si vedano tra l'altro i campanili di San Pietro all'epoca appena costruiti ed immediatamente dopo demoliti per ragioni statiche) e dunque raffigura Roma alla metà del '600. Gli edifici sono poco riconoscibili ed il Tevere segue un errato percorso sotto Trinità dei Monti. La stampa mostra un primo piano con colline ed alberi in controluce senza personaggi, e una legenda di 12 voci. Il nome dell'autore non è scritto sull'incisione ma solo sull'opera che non è stato comunque possibile reperire; non è chiaro neppure se il Wagner sia l'autore o l'editore. Incisa prima del 1694, anno in cui Wagner morì. Secondo alcuni studiosi l'editore potrebbe essere J. Wollf e la data di pubblicazione spostata a circa al 1710" (cfr. Marigliani p. 198). Buono stato di conservazione. Rara. Etching and engraving, circa 1690. In the top centre the SPQR coat of arms surmounted by a crown. The initial prototype for this type of panorama is identifiable in the panorama engraved by Silvestre in 1642 - see among other things the bell towers of St. Peter's that had just been built and immediately afterwards demolished for static reasons - and therefore depicts Rome in the mid 17th century. The buildings are hardly recognisable and the Tiber follows a wrong path under Trinità dei Monti. The print shows a foreground with hills and trees against the light without any characters, and a key-legend of 12 items. The name of the author is not written on the engraving but only on the title page, which could not be found anyway; it is not clear either if Wagner is the author or the publisher. Engraved before 1694, the year Wagner died. According to some scholars the publisher could be J. Wollf and the date of publication moved to around 1710" (cf. Marigliani p. 198). Good state of preservation. Rare. C. Marigliani, "Le Piante di Roma delle collezioni private", tav. 103.
