Download or read book Caesar Rules written by Olivier Hekster and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Roman emperors ruled a vast empire. Yet, at least officially, the emperor did not exist. No one knew exactly what titles he possessed, how he could be portrayed, what exactly he had to do, or how the succession was organised. Everyone knew, however, that the emperor held ultimate power over the empire. There were also expectations about what he should do and be, although these varied throughout the empire and also evolved over time. How did these expectations develop and change? To what degree could an emperor deviate from prevailing norms? And what role did major developments in Roman society – such as the rise of Christianity or the choice of Constantinople as the new capital – play in the ways in which emperors could exercise their rule? This ambitious and engaging book describes the surprising stability of the Roman Empire over more than six centuries of history.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Nineveh by : Murray Lee Eiland
Download or read book The Archaeology of Nineveh written by Murray Lee Eiland and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the three great Persian civilisations in antiquity ? Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian ? the Parthians, as they are known in western sources, are the most obscure, an issue that this book seeks to redress. It arguably does more to solve the paradox of a civilisation seemingly largely ? but not exclusively ? devoid of a solid urban tradition on the one hand, while on the other, holding sway as a great empire over much of Western and Central Asia for several centuries. This great archaeological and historical problem is accomplished with an extraordinary grasp of the material evidence to tease out the answer to one of ancient civilisation?s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Book Synopsis Environment and Habitation around the Ancient Black Sea by : David Braund
Download or read book Environment and Habitation around the Ancient Black Sea written by David Braund and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environment and human habitation have become principal topics of research with the growing interest in the Black Sea region in antiquity. This book highlights their interaction around all the coasts of the region, from different perspectives and disciplines. Here, archaeological excavation and survey combine with studies of classical texts, cults, medicine, and more, to explore ancient experiences of the region. Accordingly, the region is examined from external viewpoints, centred in the Mediterranean (Herodotus, the Hippocratics, ancient geographers, and poets), and through local lenses, particularly supplied by archaeology. While familiar disconnects emerge, there is also a striking coherence in the results of these different pathways into the study of local environments, which embrace not only Graeco-Roman settlement, but also a broader range of agricultural and pastoralist activities across a huge landscape which stretches as far afield as ancient Hungary. Throughout, there are methodological implications for research elsewhere in the ancient world. This book shows people in landscapes across a huge expanse, in local reality and in external conceptions, complete with their own agency, ideas, and lifestyles.
Book Synopsis Lucretius on Disease by : George Kazantzidis
Download or read book Lucretius on Disease written by George Kazantzidis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard view in scholarship is that disease in Lucretius' De rerum natura is mainly a problem to be solved and then dispensed with. However, a closer reading suggests that things are more layered and complex than they appear at first sight: just as morbus causes a radical rearrangement of atoms in the body and makes the patient engage with alternative and up to that point unknown dimensions of the sensible world, so does disease as a theme generate a multiplicity of meanings in the text. The present book argues for a reconsideration of morbus in De rerum natura along those lines: it invites the reader to revisit the topic of disease and reflect on the various, and often contrasting, discourses that unfold around it. More specifically, it illustrates how, apart from calling for therapy, disease, due to its dominant presence in the narrative, transforms at the same time into a concept that is integral both to the poem’s philosophical agenda but also to its wider aesthetic concerns as a literary product. The book thus sheds new light on De rerum natura's intense preoccupation with morbus by showing how disease is not exclusively conceived by Lucretius as a blind, obliterating force but is crucially linked to life and meaning—both inside and outside the text.
Book Synopsis Cassius Dio the Historian by : Jesper Majbom Madsen
Download or read book Cassius Dio the Historian written by Jesper Majbom Madsen and published by Historiography of Rome and Its. This book was released on 2021 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume focuses on Cassius Dio as a historian - the only historian who allows us to follow the developments of Rome's political institutions during a more than thousand year period, from the foundation of the city to Cassius Dio's retirement from public life in 229 CE. The volume explores the Roman historian's methodology and agendas, all of which influenced his approaches to Rome's history. It offers a reassessment that rests on a deeper study of his relationship with historiographical traditions as well as his narrative and structural approach to Roman history. It examines Cassius Dio as both a writer in the historiographic tradition with his own agenda for writing The Roman History and a historian with his own ambition to tell the history of Rome. Contributors are: Valérie Fromentin, Mads O. Lindholmer, Christopher Baron, Konstantin V. Markov, Josip Parat, Christopher Burden-Strevens, Adam M. Kemezis, Andrew G. Scott, Jesper M. Madsen, Alex Imrie, Graham Andrews, Eric Adler, Carsten H. Lange, Antonio Pistellato, Jesper Carlsen, Brandon Jones, Julie Langford"--
