A young woman stands at a crossroad: her father has recently died; she has left her husband; and more, recently, her lover has left her. Traveling east with her young daughter, she stops off to visit old friends and relatives, each of whom reflects a different facet of her own life. Having still to come to terms with past losses, Nikki is not yet prepared to face her future. Her trip is a kind of hiatus, a time during which no irrevocable decisions need be made, a time to consolidate and clarify. Each of the people she meets, each new situation, triggers a memory, reveals the past in a new light, prods a reassessment so that the novel becomes a tapestry of association whose design gains depth and richness as each new color is laid in. Finally, reader and narrator together come to see the pattern complete, to understand its meaning and so to be able to move on. Book

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Additional plate of inner cover ("With the compliments of the author. Sent by Harvard University Press..." ). Light Foxing to top of textblock. DJ spine sunned. Light edgewear. ; Loeb Classical Monographs; 0.39 x 9.06 x 5.91 Inches; 216 pages; The Greek orator Dio Chrysostom is a colorful figure, and along with Plutarch one of the major sources of information about Greek civilization during the early Roman Empire. C. P. Jones offers here the first full-length portrait of Dio in English and, at the same time, a view of life in cities such as Alexandria, Tarsus, and Rhodes in the first centuries of our era. Skillfully combining literary and historical evidence, Mr. Jones describes Dio's birthplace, education, and early career. He examines the civic speeches for what they reveal about Dio's life and art, as well as the life, thought, and language of Greek cities in this period. From these and other works he reinterprets Dio's attitude toward the emperors and Rome. The account is as lucid and pleasantly written as it is carefully documented.

8vi, br. ed. pp.790. The Roman Empire at Bay is the only one volume history of the critical years 180-395 AD, which saw the transformation of the Roman Empire from a unitary state centred on Rome, into a new polity with two capitals and a new religion-Christianity. The book integrates social and intellectual history into the narrative, looking to explore the relationship between contingent events and deeper structure. It also covers an amazingly dramatic narrative from the civil wars after the death of Commodus through the conversion of Constantine to the arrival of the Goths in the Roman Empire, setting in motion the final collapse of the western empire. The new edition takes account of important new scholarship in questions of Roman identity, on economy and society as well as work on the age of Constantine, which has advanced significantly in the last decade, while recent archaeological and art historical work is more fully drawn into the narrative. At its core, the central question that drives The Roman Empire at Bay remains, what did it mean to be a Roman and how did that meaning change as the empire changed? Updated for a new generation of students, this book remains a crucial tool in the study of this period.
