Book Synopsis Select Documents of the Principates of the Flavian Emperors by :
Download or read book Select Documents of the Principates of the Flavian Emperors written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1961-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was first published in 1966. Its authors, M. McCrum and A. G. Woodhead, were both fellows of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Here, they have produced a thorough and far-reaching compilation of literature dating from the Flavian dynasty and the year of revolution. By choosing to provide numerous texts, rather than reprinting fewer extracts accompanied by longer commentaries, the authors have ensured that their work will capture the interest of any classical scholar, as well as serving as an incredibly valuable reference work for academic research. McCrum and Woodhead's volume contains documents on topics such as the imperial family and household, the army and navy, and the Empire's cities and governance, amongst others. This volume will thus appeal to scholars of the Roman Empire in general, and of the years AD 68-96 more specifically.
Book Synopsis Representing the Dynasty in Flavian Rome by : Jonathan Davies
Download or read book Representing the Dynasty in Flavian Rome written by Jonathan Davies and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing the Dynasty in Flavian Rome investigates the problem of contemporary historiography and regime representation in Flavian Rome through a close study of a text not usually read for such purposes but which has obvious promise for a study of this theme, the Jewish War of Flavius Josephus. Having surveyed the evolution of our conception of Josephus' relationship to Flavian power, taken a broad account of issues of political expression and regime representation in Flavian Rome outside Josephus and examined questions relating to the structure and date of the work, Davies provides a series of thematically-focused readings of the three senior members of the Flavian family, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian, as represented by their contemporary and client Josephus. Key topics explored include the level of independence of Josephus' vision, his work's relationship to how the regime is depicted in other contemporary sources, how Josephus makes the Flavians serve his own agenda (which is distinct from the heavy focus of much previous scholarship on how Josephus served their agenda), and the viability and usefulness of certain types of reading practices relating to figured critique which have recently become influential in Josephan scholarship. The book offers a new approach to Josephus' relationship to the Flavian Dynasty and sheds new light on contemporary historiography and political expression in the Early Principate.

The last section of the volume presents contributions on the impact of the Roman imperial administration and appointment policies on communal rights and politics, the composition of local councils, local administrative structures, Romanisation, and social mobility of regional and local notables in various provinces of the Roman Empire.
Book Synopsis A Brief History of the Roman Empire by : Stephen P. Kershaw
Download or read book A Brief History of the Roman Empire written by Stephen P. Kershaw and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and very readable history of the Roman Empire from its establishment in 27 BC to the barbarian incursions and the fall of Rome in AD 476, Kershaw draws on a range of evidence, from Juvenal's Satires to recent archaeological finds. He examines extraordinary personalities such as Caligula and Nero and seismic events such as the conquest of Britain and the establishment of a 'New Rome' at Constantinople and the split into eastern and western empires. Along the way we encounter gladiators and charioteers, senators and slaves, fascinating women, bizarre sexual practices and grotesque acts of brutality, often seen through eyes of some of the world's greatest writers. He concludes with a brief look at how Rome lives on in the contemporary world, in politics, architecture, art and literature.
Book Synopsis Imperial Inquisitions by : Steven H. Rutledge
Download or read book Imperial Inquisitions written by Steven H. Rutledge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delatores (political informants) and accusatores (malicious prosecutors) were a major part of life in imperial Rome. Contemporary sources depict them as cruel and heartless mercenaries, who bore the main responsibility for institutionalising and enforcing the 'tyranny' of the infamous rulers of the early empire, such as Nero, Caligula and Domitian. Stephen Rutledge's study examines the evidence to ask if this is a fair portrayal. Beginning with a detailed examination of the social and political status of known informants and prosecutors, he goes on to investigate their activities - as well as the rewards they could expect. The main areas covered are: * checking government corruption and enforcing certain classes of legislation * blocking opposition and resistance to the emperor in the Senate * acting as a partisan player in factional strife in the imperial family * protecting the emperor against conspiracy. The book includes a comprehensive guide to every known political informant under the early empire, with their name, all the relevant primary and secondary sources, and an individual biography.

Book Synopsis Jewish Reactions to the Destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 by : Ken Jones
Download or read book Jewish Reactions to the Destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 written by Ken Jones and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 was a watershed event in the religious, political, and social life of first-century Jews. This book explores the reaction to this event found in Jewish apocalypses and related literature preserved among the Pseudepigrapha (4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, 3 Baruch, 4 Baruch, Sibylline Oracles 4 and 5, and the Apocalypse of Abraham). While keeping the historical context of their composition in mind, the author analyzes the texts with a view to answering the following questions: What do these texts tell us about Jewish attitudes toward the Roman Empire? How did Jews understand the situation in post-70 Judea through the lens of Israel’s past, especially the Babylonian sack of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.?

Download or read book Claudius written by Barbara Levick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claudius became emperor after the assassination of Caligula, and was deified by his successor Nero in AD 54. Opinions of him have varied greatly over succeeding centuries, but he has mostly been caricatured as a reluctant emperor, hampered by a speech impediment, who preferred reading to ruling. Barbara Levick's authoritative study reassesses the reign of Claudius, examining his political objectives and activities within the constitutional, political, social and economic development of Rome. Out of Levick's critical scrutiny of the literary, archaeological and epigraphic sources emerges a different Claudius - an intelligent politician, ruthlessly determined to secure his position as ruler. Now updated to take account of recent scholarship, Claudius remains essential reading for students and historians of the early Roman Empire.
