The Art and Archeology of Ancient Greece is an introductory-level textbook for students with little or no background in ancient art. Arranged chronologically in broad swathes of time, from the Bronze and iron Ages through the geometric, Archaic, classical, and hellenistic periods, and concluding with the roman conquest of the greek world, the textbook focuses on greek art but also incorporates near eastern, etruscan, and roman objects. Judith M. Barringer examines a variety of media, analyzing marble and bronze sculpture, public architecture, and vase painting, as well as coins, domestic architecture, mosaics, terracotta figurines and reliefs, jewelry, and wall painting. This book adopts an approach that considers objects and monuments within their cultural contexts.

• More than 500 illustrations, with over 400 in color and 13 maps, including specially commissioned photographs, maps, plans, and reconstructions • Includes text boxes, chapter summaries and timelines, and detailed glossary • Looks at Greek art from perspectives of both art history and archaeology, giving students an understanding of the historical and everyday context of art objects

This book reflects the wide range of current scholarship on Roman law. The essays, newly commissioned for this volume, cover the sources of evidence for classical Roman law; the elements of private law, as well as criminal and public law; and the second life of Roman law in Byzantium, in civil and canon law, and in political discourse from AD 1100 to the present. Roman law nowadays is studied in many different ways, which is reflected in the diversity of approaches in the essays. Some focus on how the law evolved in ancient Rome, others on its place in the daily life of the Roman citizen, still others on how Roman legal concepts and doctrines have been deployed through the ages. All of them are responses to one and the same thing: the sheer intellectual vitality of Roman law, which has secured its place as a central element in the intellectual tradition and history of the West.

Harriet Flower Princeton University, New Jersey Editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic For me it was both an honor and a pleasure to be invited by CUP to revisit

The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic ten years after its first publication. The second, corrected edition includes valuable and up-to-date new chapters on slavery, demography, and the empire in the West.

Andrew Stewart University of California, Berkeley Author of Art in the Hellenistic World As a student, I heard one of my professors lecture on the Great Altar of Pergamon with open distaste. This is my riposte. Brilliant, diverse, often frustrating, and frequently surprising, Hellenistic art is never dull. Spanning three centuries, three continents, five great kingdoms and many lesser ones, hundreds of cities, and even Rome, it served a world that was rich, civilized, fractured, tumultuous, militaristic, insecure, and often brutal. It’s an art for our time.

Medieval Rome was uniquely important, both as a physical city and as an idea with immense cultural capital. Rome across Time and Space explores these twin dimensions of ‘place’ and ‘idea’ and analyses Rome’s role in the transmission of culture throughout the Middle Ages. ‘With its clearly defined questions, and its innovative papers, [Rome across Time and Space] proves to be an extremely useful compass that will help you navigate whether you are going towards or coming from Rome … it diversifies and refreshes our understanding of the idea(s) of Rome prevailing in the Middle Ages … a volume worthwhile reading both for its individual papers and for the overarching concept.’ Réka Forrai, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014 229 x 152 mm 372pp 39 b/w illus. 2 maps 2 tables 2 music examples 978-1-107-46019-5 Paperback £20.99 / US$31.99 Also available 978-0-521-19217-0 Hardback £64.99 / US$114.99 For all formats available, see

Classical Rhetoric and the Visual Arts in Early Modern Europe Caroline Van Eck Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, The Netherlands

In this book, Caroline van Eck examines how rhetoric and the arts interacted in early modern Europe. She argues that rhetoric, though originally developed for persuasive speech, has always used the visual as an important means of persuasion, and hence offers a number of strategies and concepts for visual persuasion as well. ‘This important new study draws on well-selected examples to explore the concepts derived from classical rhetoric in the arts and architecture of early modern Europe (15th-18th centuries).’ American Journal of Archaeology 2014 253 x 177 mm 225pp 978-1-107-68785-1 Paperback £22.99 / US$34.99 Also available 978-0-521-84435-2 Hardback £69.99 / US$104.99 For all formats available, see

The Decipherment of Linear B Second edition John Chadwick Downing College, Cambridge

The languages of the ancient world and the mysterious scripts, long undeciphered, in which they were encoded have represented one of the most intriguing problems of classical archaeology in modern times. This celebrated account of the decipherment of Linear B in the 1950s by Michael Ventris was written by his close collaborator in the momentous discovery. In revealing the secrets of Linear B it offers a valuable survey of late Minoan and Mycenaean archaeology, uncovering fascinating details of the religion and economic history of an ancient civilisation. Review of previous edition: ‘… not only an account of a startling piece of philological and archaeological research, but a simple, moving human story.’ The Spectator Canto Classics

The first two editions of this book have become the most popular means of teaching and learning the ancient Egyptian writing system, language, and culture. This new edition incorporates the latest advances in our understanding of the language and is both simpler and easier to use. ‘The Third Edition breaks much new ground from the earlier editions, incorporating many new ideas on the verb, from the author’s research. This book encourages the reader to consider the ancient language as a means of expression and not just a set of grammatical rules.’ Nigel Strudwick, Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge

The Regional Diversification of Latin 200 BC – AD 600 J. N. Adams University of Oxford

Classical Latin appears to be without regional dialects, yet Latin evolved in little more than a millennium into a variety of different languages. This book argues comprehensively that Latin in fact never lacked regional variations and examines the changing patterns and causes of this diversity throughout the Roman period. ‘Without doubt, this book will have a wide-ranging relevance and impact. … [Adams] has produced a rare book of outstanding scope and insight, combining all the best aspects of modern criticism with unrivalled traditional scholarship.’ Britannia 2014 229 x 152 mm 850pp 978-1-107-68458-4 Paperback £27.99 / US$41.99 Also available 978-0-521-88149-4 Hardback £149.99 / US$249.99 For all formats available, see

This book demonstrates that the earliest Greek users of the alphabet conceived of themselves as participants in a performance phenomenon – in the manner of the oral poets – when they wrote. This book offers a compelling interpretation for the concomitant demise of extemporaneous oral poetic composition and the rise of the alphabet.

The Colloquia of the Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana Edited by Eleanor Dickey University of Reading

The Colloquia are manuals written to help ancient Greeks and Romans get around in each other’s languages; they contain examples of how to conduct activities like shopping, banking, visiting friends, hosting parties, taking oaths, winning lawsuits, using the public baths, having fights, making excuses and going to school. They thus offer a unique glimpse of daily life in the early Roman Empire and are an important resource for understanding ancient culture. They have, however, been unjustly neglected because until now there were no modern editions of the texts, no translations into any modern language, and little understanding of what the Colloquia are and where they come from. This two-volume set makes the Colloquia accessible for the first time by combining a new edition, translation and commentary with a groundbreaking, comprehensive study of their origins. It is clearly written and will interest students, non-specialists and professional scholars alike. Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries

Advance praise: ‘This book fills beautifully a remarkable gap, and in so doing it involves a dream team of contributors. Second language acquisition has elicited much attention over the past few decades, but Greek and Latin – despite having been the object of such study for millennia – have never before been brought together and investigated from this perspective as this collection does across time and space. Learning Latin and Greek will be the go-to resource for readers interested in the history of education. Here they can track the learning of the classical languages from ancient papyri to present-day textbooks and software, and probe the pedagogy of second-language study in both the Old and New Worlds, from Russia to Mexico, by way of Egypt, Italy, and the British Isles.’ Jan Ziolkowski, Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin, Harvard University; and Director, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Yale Classical Studies, 37

The Poems of Catullus An Annotated Translation Catullus Edited and translated by Jeannine Diddle Uzzi University of Southern Maine

Translated by Jeffrey Thomson University of Maine, Farmington

The Roman poet Catullus is one of the most popular and frequently studied ancient authors. This new translation presents the poems as contemporary and concise with an energy and pace that both enhance Catullus’ appeal for non-specialists and challenge specialists to consider his work from a fresh perspective. Advance praise: ‘The bawdy poet Catullus wrote in the late Roman empire, in Latin, but he will always belong to the world at large and to the present tense – rowdy, randy, excoriating, funny, acrobatic and endlessly vernacular. He is our shameless poet of the lockerroom boast and the licentious manabout-town. He sings in the gossipy, fierce voices of Eros and Id without apology, and we love him for this particular exhibition of the glory of the human spirit. Catullus is so much of the present tense that his poetry requires the fresh transfusion of retranslation on a regular basis, needs a booster shot of the vernacular to restore the rose to his cheeks. In these fine new translations, Jeffrey Thomson and Jeannine Uzzi perfectly catch the

University of Thessaloniki, Greece

The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual authors – two of the most important questions in modern research on archaic epic. They also help to illuminate the early history of Greek mythology. Access to the poems, however, has been thwarted by their current fragmentary state. This volume provides the scholarly community and graduate students with a thorough critical foundation for reading and interpreting them.

Libanius A Critical Introduction Edited by Lieve Van Hoof Universiteit Gent, Belgium

A professor of Greek rhetoric, frequent letter writer and influential social figure, Libanius (AD 314–393) is a key author for anybody interested in Late Antiquity, ancient rhetoric, ancient epistolography and ancient biography. Nevertheless, he remains understudied because it is such a daunting task to access his large and only partially translated oeuvre. This volume, which is the first comprehensive study of Libanius, offers a critical introduction to the man, his texts, their context and reception. Clear presentations of the orations, progymnasmata, declamations and letters unlock the corpus, and a survey of all available translations is provided. At the same time, the volume explores new interpretative approaches of the texts from a variety of angles. Written by a team of established as well as upcoming experts in the field, it substantially reassesses works such as the Autobiography, the Julianic speeches and letters, and Oration 30 For the Temples.

Greek Mythology Poetics, Pragmatics and Fiction Claude Calame Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris

Translated by Janet Lloyd

Argues that the meaning of Greek myths can only be studied according to their artistic forms of expression. Using myths such as those of Persephone, Bellerophon, Helen and Teiresias, Claude Calame surveys Greek mythology as a category inseparable from the literature in which so much of it is found. ‘… for any reader who desires an introduction to myth theory or who wants to explore particular texts in more depth, Calame’s Greek Mythology provides an excellent place to start.’ Rosetta 2014 229 x 152 mm 288pp 978-1-107-43481-3 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 Also available 978-0-521-88858-5 Hardback £69.99 / US$119.99 For all formats available, see

Nonsense and Meaning in Ancient Greek Comedy Stephen E. Kidd Brown University, Rhode Island

Employs the ancient Greek concept of ‘nonsense’ to explore an observation that has vexed comic scholarship: although comedy can be meaningful (i.e. contain political opinions, moral sentiments and aesthetic tastes), some part is just ‘foolery’ or ‘fun’. Important for all scholars and students of Greek comedy. 2014 228 x 152 mm 213pp 978-1-107-05015-0 Hardback £55.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Sophocles: Ajax Sophocles Edited by P. J. Finglass University of Nottingham

Sophocles’ Ajax describes the fall of a mighty warrior denied the honour which he believed was his due. This new edition of the play presents a text and critical apparatus which take full advantage of recent advances in our understanding of Sophoclean manuscripts and scholarship. The introduction and commentary scrutinise all important aspects of the drama – from detailed analysis of style, language, and metre to consideration of wider issues such as ethics, rhetoric, and characterisation. Notorious dramaturgical problems, including the staging of Ajax’s suicide, receive particular attention; so too do questions of literary history, such as the date of the play and Sophocles’ creative interaction with previous accounts of the myth. The translation which accompanies

Classical literature the commentary ensures that this edition will be accessible to Hellenists of all levels of experience, as well as to readers with a general interest in the history of drama. ‘This is a wonderful resource for the study of Ajax, and its author [is] clearly a force to be reckoned with in the high-level explication of Greek texts. The book has been produced with the great care we associate with the series and its editors.’ Donald Mastronarde, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries, 48

The Cambridge Companion to Greek Comedy Edited by Martin Revermann

Stesichorus’ lyric poetry vividly recreates the most dramatic episodes of Greek myth: the labours of Heracles, the sack of Troy, the vengeance of Orestes, and more besides. It can be appreciated today as never before, thanks to the recent discovery of ancient manuscripts buried for some two millennia in the sands of Egypt. This fresh edition of Stesichorus’ poems presents the first full-scale analysis of all his surviving works. The detailed introduction and commentary investigate a wide range of key issues, such as Stesichorus’ imagery and style, his narrative technique, and his mythological innovations. The controversial question of how Stesichorus’ poems were originally performed receives careful scrutiny; particular attention is paid to the fascinating story of the transmission, disappearance, and recovery of his work. A translation integrated with the commentary renders this book accessible to all readers with an interest in early Greek poetry and its legacy.

It provides a comprehensive study of major monuments, including exciting new material that has been discovered in recent years and has transformed the field. It also offers a critical overview of scholarly debates and controversies on

aspects of style, iconography, technique and cultural context. This volume provides an up-to-date and muchneeded overview of the monuments that are now known and of the ideas that have been generated about them. Advance praise: ‘This richly illustrated, up-to-date overview is superbly written by a cast of stars. Filled with recent discoveries, there is something new of importance for every scholar and student of ancient Mediterranean painting.’ John H. Oakley, The College of William and Mary

Architecture of the Sacred Space, Ritual, and Experience from Classical Greece to Byzantium Edited by Bonna D. Wescoat Emory University, Atlanta

and Robert G. Ousterhout University of Pennsylvania

Explores the way space, place, architecture, memory and ritual interact to construct sacred experience in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, early Christian and Byzantine cultures. The book

Classical art and architecture demonstrates that architecture and its setting actively participated in the ritual process.

The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity Mark J. Johnson Brigham Young University, Utah

Constructed between c.AD 244 and 450 and bridging the transition from paganism to Christianity within the empire, these important buildings shared a common design. Mark Johnson examines the symbolism and function of the mausolea, demonstrating that these monuments served as temples and shrines to the divinized emperors. ‘Mark Johnson’s book offers a valuable and up-to-date survey of extant and otherwise attested Roman imperial mausolea from Augustus to Honorius. This accessible and informative study should be the first stop for scholars and students interested in pursuing further analysis of Late Roman imperial funerary monuments.’ American Journal of Archaeology 2014 253 x 177 mm 314pp 978-1-107-64441-0 Paperback £23.99 / US$39.99 Also available 978-0-521-51371-5 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

Art in the Hellenistic World An Introduction Andrew Stewart University of California, Berkeley

This textbook offers a new thematic, contextualized, and richly illustrated approach to Hellenistic art for advanced undergraduate and pre-MA students in art history, classics, history, and humanities. Helpful ancillary features include maps, excerpts from Hellenistic literature, appendices, a glossary, a

timeline, biographies of key figures, and suggestions for further reading. ‘Arranging his material with far-reaching originality by key preoccupations in Hellenistic art – power, victory, benefaction, prowess, wisdom, piety, desire, luxury, difference and death – Stewart brilliantly contextualizes and analyzes its wealth. He offers a fascinating and reliable study for our times and beyond, wearing his magisterial learning lightly and wittily.’ Graham Zanker, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

Vase Painting, Gender, and Social Identity in Archaic Athens Mark D. Stansbury-O’Donnell University of St Thomas, Minnesota

This study explores the phenomenon of spectators through a database built from a census of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, which reveals that the figures flourished in Athenian vase painting during the last two-thirds of the sixth century BCE. ‘This book will stimulate graduate students and scholars interested in the viewing and reading not just of Athenian pottery but of the ancient visual arts in general. While the author notes that his work is only the beginning, he addresses figures that often have been neglected, thus demonstrating the possibility that they have something to tell us about the ancient world. In short, StansburyO’Donnell has given us new and vital directions to explore in the study of decorated pottery.’ American Journal of Archaeology 2014 253 x 177 mm 327pp 95 b/w illus. 58 tables 978-1-107-66280-3 Paperback £24.99 / US$36.99 Also available 978-0-521-85318-7 Hardback £89.99 / US$139.99 For all formats available, see

The Mythology of Kingship in Neo-Assyrian Art Mehmet-Ali Ataç Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania

The relief slabs that decorated the palaces of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which emphasized military conquest and royal prowess, have traditionally been understood as statements of imperial propaganda that glorified the Assyrian king. Here, Mehmet-Ali Ataç argues that the reliefs hold a deeper meaning that was addressed primarily to an internal

audience composed of court scholars and master craftsmen. ‘There is much in this book that ancient and art historians will find of interest. The method of analyzing Assyrian art in the light of the wide body of textual sources and comparative mythology is most welcome.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014 253 x 177 mm 297pp 130 b/w illus. 978-1-107-62760-4 Paperback £22.99 / US$34.99 Also available 978-0-521-51790-4 Hardback £64.99 / US$114.99 For all formats available, see

Art and Society in Cyprus from the Bronze Age into the Iron Age Joanna S. Smith Princeton University, New Jersey

This study emphasizes the placement and scale of images and how they reveal the development of economic and social control at Kition from its establishment in the thirteenth century BCE until the development of a centralized form of government by the Phoenicians, backed by the Assyrian king, in 707 BCE. ‘Perhaps the greatest contribution of this study is the development of a new Iron Age chronology for Cyprus, which has significant implications for the history of early Cyprus and will surely be adopted by future scholars. Although thoroughly grounded in a careful reading of the material record, the book’s great strength comes from Smith’s ability to contextualize details within the broader historical record by seeking to understand the people and their lives, thoughts and actions.’ American Journal of Archaeology 2014 253 x 177 mm 415pp 100 b/w illus. 978-1-107-68396-9 Paperback £24.99 / US$39.99 Also available 978-0-521-51367-8 Hardback £64.99 / US$119.99 For all formats available, see

Roman Imperialism and Civic Patronage Form, Meaning and Ideology in Monumental Fountain Complexes Brenda Longfellow University of Iowa

In this book, Brenda Longfellow examines one of the features of Roman Imperial cities, the monumental civic fountain. These fountains were imposing in size, frequently adorned with grand sculptures. Dr Longfellow situates each of these examples within its urban environment and investigates the edifice as a product of an individual patron and a particular historical and geographical context. ‘Through an exhaustive and accurate review of archaeological, literary and numismatic evidence, Longfellow has demonstrated the tremendous importance of emperors in the dialectic exchange between local communities, local patrons and their rulers.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014 253 x 177 mm 291pp 70 b/w illus. 978-1-107-41524-9 Paperback £22.99 / US$36.99 Also available 978-0-521-19493-8 Hardback £60.00 / US$101.00 For all formats available, see

Unlike other books, she focuses on the reception rather than the creation of works of art, giving readings of important monuments integrating their analysis with less wellstudied ones such as German provincial relics. ‘Kousser demonstrates how careful iconographic analysis of the material can be insightful and help us understand better the importance of sculpture in specific contexts.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review

The Roman Forum A Reconstruction and Architectural Guide Gilbert J. Gorski University of Notre Dame, Indiana

and James E. Packer Northwestern University, Illinois

The Roman Forum was in many ways the heart of the Roman Empire. Today, the Forum exists in a fragmentary state, having been destroyed and plundered by barbarians, aristocrats, citizens and priests over the past two millennia. Enough remains, however, for archaeologists to reconstruct its spectacular buildings and monuments. This richly illustrated volume provides an architectural history of the central section of the Roman Forum during the Empire (31 BCE–476 CE), from the Temple of Julius Caesar to the monuments on the slope of the Capitoline hill. Bringing together stateof-the-art technology in architectural illustration and the expertise of a prominent Roman archaeologist, this book offers a unique reconstruction of the Forum, providing architectural history, a summary of each building’s excavation and research, scaled digital plans, elevations, and reconstructed aerial images that not only shed light on the Forum’s history but vividly bring it to life. With this book, scholars, students, architects and artists will be able to visualize for the first time since antiquity the character, design and appearance of the famous heart of ancient Rome.

The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean offers new insights into the material and social practices of many different Mediterranean peoples during the Bronze and Iron Ages, presenting in particular those features that both connect and distinguish them. Contributors discuss in depth a range of topics that motivate and structure Mediterranean archaeology today, including insularity and connectivity; mobility, migration, and colonization; hybridization and cultural encounters; materiality, memory, and identity; community and household; life and death; and ritual and ideology. The volume’s broad coverage of different approaches and contemporary archaeological practices will help practitioners of Mediterranean archaeology to move the subject forward in new and dynamic ways. Together, the essays in this volume shed new light on the people, ideas, and materials that make up the world of Mediterranean archaeology today, beyond the borders that separate Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Advance praise: ‘A magnificently multi-faceted, intellectually challenging collection of scholarly voices and interpretations that matches the complexity and dynamism of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean itself. This book will be a stimulus to fresh thinking in and beyond the Middle Sea for many years to come, as well as an ideal point of access for the less familiar.’ Cyprian Broodbank, John Disney Professor of Archaeology, University of Cambridge

Warfare was the single biggest preoccupation of historians in antiquity. In recent decades fresh textual interpretations, numerous new archaeological discoveries and a much broader analytical focus emphasising social, economic, political and cultural approaches have transformed our understanding of ancient warfare. This two-volume History reflects these developments and provides a systematic account, written by a distinguished cast of contributors, of the various themes underlying the warfare of the Greek world from Archaic Greece to the Arab conquests of the seventh century AD. For each broad period developments in troop-types, equipment, strategy and tactics are discussed. These are placed in the broader context of developments in international relations and the relationship of warfare to both the state and wider society. Numerous illustrations, a glossary and chronology, and information about the authors mentioned supplement the text. This will become the primary reference work for specialists and non-specialists alike. ‘These volumes are sure to be the standard reference on classical military history in the Englishspeaking world for some time … The quality of the chapters and the sheer readability of the work is very high and the editors and authors are to be congratulated for the production of these very useful volumes.’ Nuncius: Journal of the History of Science

The Cambridge History of Magic and Witchcraft in the West From Antiquity to the Present Edited by David J. Collins, SJ Georgetown University, Washington DC

This book presents twenty chapters by experts in their fields, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary overview of the theory and practice of magic in the West. Its chronological scope extends from the Ancient Near East to twenty-first-century North America; its objects of analysis range from Persian curse tablets to US neo-paganism. For comparative purposes, the volume includes chapters on developments in the Jewish and Muslim worlds, evaluated not simply for what they contributed at various points to European notions of magic, but also as models of alternative development in ancient Mediterranean legacy. Similarly, the volume highlights the transformative and challenging encounters of Europeans with non-Europeans, regarding the practice of magic in both early modern colonization and more recent decolonization.

The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire c.500–1492 Edited by Jonathan Shepard University of Cambridge

Byzantium lasted a thousand years, ruled to the end by self-styled ‘emperors of the Romans’. It underwent kaleidoscopic territorial and structural changes, yet recovered repeatedly from disaster: even after the near-impregnable Constantinople fell in 1204, variant forms of the empire reconstituted themselves. The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire tells the story, tracing political and military events, religious controversies and economic change. It offers clear, authoritative chapters on the main events and periods, with more detailed chapters on particular outlying regions, neighbouring

powers or aspects of Byzantium. With aids such as a glossary, an alternative place-name table and references to English translations of sources, it will be valuable as an introduction. However, it also offers stimulating new approaches and important new findings, making it essential reading for postgraduates and for specialists.

Campus Martius The Field of Mars in the Life of Ancient Rome Paul W. Jacobs, II and Diane Atnally Conlin University of Colorado Boulder

The Campus Martius began as a military training ground but later became filled with some of the most extraordinary republican and imperial structures conceived by Roman patrons and architects. This book explores the factors that contributed to the transformation of the site from an occasionally visited space to a crowded center of daily activity. Advance praise: ‘Campus Martius by Paul W. Jacobs, II and Diane Atnally Conlin expertly reveals how the ancients transformed this expansive plain outside Rome into an architectural showcase.

Homer on the Gods and Human Virtue Creating the Foundations of Classical Civilization Peter J. Ahrensdorf Davidson College, North Carolina

This book shows that Homer was not only a great poet but also a great thinker. Peter J. Ahrensdorf shows that Homer elevates human virtue over reverence for the gods, celebrates the wisdom of the poet over the heroism of the warrior, and teaches that the courageously questioning Achilles is superior to Hector and Odysseus. ‘Turning to the epics of Homer as resources for reflection about the deepest sources of human virtue and happiness, Ahrensdorf’s challenging and persuasive book, by inverting the familiar views of the central characters created by the poet, elucidates the relation between the singer of songs and the true meaning of excellence.’ Arlene W.

Roman Political Thought From Cicero to Augustine Dean Hammer Franklin and Marshall College, Pennsylvania

This is the first comprehensive treatment of the political thought of the Romans. Through chapters on Cicero, Lucretius, Sallust, Virgil, Livy, Seneca, Tacitus, Marcus Aurelius and Augustine, and discussions of Polybius, the Stoics, Epicurus, and Epictetus, Hammer argues that the Romans engaged in a penetrating reflection on politics.

The Barbarians of Ancient Europe Realities and Interactions Edited by Larissa Bonfante New York University

The authors of this beautifully illustrated book show how art and archaeology can illuminate the past lives and beliefs of the ethnic groups located on the fringes of the classical world – the barbarian, non-Greek Others of Europe: Celts, Scythians, Thracians, and Etruscans. ‘This is an amazing collection of essays and an astonishing illumination of what was happening in Central Europe during the years of Greek civilization. The word ‘barbarian’ will never lose its detrimental quality, but at least, thanks to this volume, one is better informed as to what was really happening.’ Duane W.

Introduction to the Old Testament Bill T. Arnold Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky

This volume introduces the Old Testament (also known as Israel’s Scriptures or the Hebrew Bible), tracing the legacy of monotheism in ancient Israel and the enduring contribution of the Old Testament. The book explores issues of history, comparative religions, and sociology, while striking a balance by focusing primarily on literary features of the text. ‘Arnold has provided an introduction to the Old Testament for the twentyfirst century unlike any other to date. Recognizing the influence of this collection on the three great monotheistic faiths of today, Arnold explores the significance of monotheism throughout Israel’s Scriptures while also providing a thorough, balanced, and informed introduction to the texts themselves. Highly recommended!’ W. Dennis Tucker, Jr, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University

The Geography of Strabo An English Translation, with Introduction and Notes Translated by Duane W. Roller Ohio State University

The Geography of Strabo is the only surviving work of its type in Greek literature, and the major source for the history of Greek scholarship on geography and the formative processes of the earth. In addition, this lengthy and complex work contains a vast amount of information on other topics, including the journey of Alexander the Great, cultic history, the history of the eastern Mediterranean in the first century BC, and women’s history. Modern knowledge of seminal geographical authors such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchos relies almost totally on Strabo’s use of them. This is the first complete English translation in nearly a century, and the first to make use of recent scholarship on the Greek text itself and on the history of geography. The translation is supplemented by a detailed discussion of Strabo’s life and his purpose in writing the Geography, as well as the sources that he used. 2014 228 x 152 mm 907pp 2 maps 1 table 978-1-107-03825-7 Hardback £120.00 / US$190.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Attila Edited by Michael Maas Rice University, Houston

This book considers the great cultural and geopolitical changes in western Eurasia in the fifth century CE. It focuses on the Roman Empire, but also examines the changes taking place in northern Europe, in Iran under the Sasanian Empire, and on the great Eurasian steppe. Attila is presented as a contributor to, and a symbol of, these transformations. ‘This work is transformational. Although focused on the Roman Empire, it also encompasses Eurasia, including the geopolitical dilemmas of Iran. Systematic treatment of subjects ranging from law and learning to climate change and mass migration serves to calibrate the Huns’ impact and identifies a shift in the stance of classical civilizations toward steppe peoples, from aloofness to fertile interaction.’ Jonathan Shepard, University of Oxford

Urban and rural economies in the age of Attila; 4. Mediterranean cities in the fifth century: elites, Christianizing, and the barbarian influx; 5. Big cities and the dynamics of the Mediterranean during the fifth century; 6. Dynasty and aristocracy in the fifth century; 7. Military developments in the fifth century; 8.

The Cambridge History of Christianity Volume 1: Origins to Constantine Edited by Margaret M. Mitchell University of Chicago

and Frances M. Young University of Birmingham

The first of the nine volume Cambridge History of Christianity series, Origins to Constantine provides a comprehensive overview of the essential events, persons, places and issues involved in the emergence of the Christian religion in the Mediterranean world in the first three centuries. Over thirty essays written by scholarly experts trace this dynamic history from the time of Jesus through to the rise of Imperial Christianity in the fourth century. It provides thoughtful and well-documented analyses of the diverse forms of Christian community, identity and practice that arose within decades of Jesus’s death, and which through missionary efforts were soon implanted throughout the Roman Empire. Origins to Constantine examines the distinctive characteristics of Christian groups in each geographical region up to the end of the third century, while also exploring the development of the institutional forms, intellectual practices and theological formulations that would mark Christian history in subsequent centuries. ‘The Cambridge History of Christianity is a most ambitious project … The full collection is intended to blend sociological, demographic, cultural, and institutional historical perspectives with the developement of worship and liturgical traditions and theological developement. Given the goal of the series, [this book] is a major success. Professor Mitchell … and Professor Young … have successfully combined their vast talents to edit a compendium of essays rich in detail and true to the objective of avoiding revisionist history … This volume is a mustread for all interested in the early church. It is written for an academic or professional audience and is a required addition to any wellequipped library. While each reader will find areas where more material would be of great interest, the extensive bibliographies (ninetytwo pages) provide a wealth of supplemental resources.’ History and Society of Religion

The Cambridge History of Christianity Volume 2: Constantine to c.600 Edited by Augustine Casiday University of Wales, Lampeter

and Frederick W. Norris Emmanuel School of Religion

This volume in the Cambridge History of Christianity presents the ‘Golden Age’ of patristic Christianity. After episodes of persecution by the Roman government, Christianity emerged as a licit religion enjoying imperial patronage and eventually became the favoured religion of the empire. The articles in this volume discuss the rapid transformation of Christianity during late antiquity, giving specific consideration to artistic, social, literary, philosophical, political, inter-religious and cultural aspects. The volume moves away from simple dichotomies and reductive schematizations (e.g., ‘heresy v. orthodoxy’) toward an inclusive description of the diverse practices and theories that made up Christianity at this time. Whilst proportional attention is given to the emergence of the Great Church within the Roman Empire, other topics are treated as well – such as the development of Christian communities outside the empire. ‘The twenty-nine essays in total paint a rich canvas of late antique Christianity in its many facets and illustrate the equally lively and varied engagement of current scholarship with this fascinating period. … The contributors, editors and the Press must be congratulated for a volume to which the scholarly community will come back for many years as a standard reference tool.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History

Ancient philosophy Plato’s Anti-hedonism and the Protagoras J. Clerk Shaw University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Anti-hedonism is the core of Plato’s critical project in ethics and politics, including in his seemingly hedonist work, the Protagoras. In this book, J. Clerk Shaw reconciles the Protagoras with Plato’s other dialogues, arguing that the Protagoras as a whole actually reflects Plato’s anti-hedonism. 2015 228 x 152 mm 240pp 978-1-107-04665-8 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 Publication March 2015 For all formats available, see

Porphyry’s Commentary on Ptolemy’s Harmonics A Greek Text and Annotated Translation Edited and translated by Andrew Barker University of Birmingham

Porphyry’s Commentary, the only surviving ancient commentary on a technical text, is not merely a study of Ptolemy’s Harmonics. It includes virtually free-standing philosophical essays on epistemology, metaphysics, scientific methodology, aspects of the Aristotelian categories and the relations between Aristotle’s views and Plato’s, and a host of briefer comments on other matters of wide philosophical interest. For musicologists it is widely recognised as a treasury of quotations from earlier treatises, many of them otherwise unknown; but Porphyry’s own reflections on musical concepts (for instance notes, intervals and their relation to ratios, quantitative and qualitative conceptions of pitch, the continuous and discontinuous forms of vocal movement, and so on) and his snapshots of contemporary music-making have been undeservedly neglected. This volume presents the first English translation and a revised Greek text of the Commentary, with an Introduction and notes designed to assist readers in engaging with this important and intricate work. 2015 228 x 152 mm 528pp 30 b/w illus. 978-1-107-00385-9 Hardback £100.00 / US$160.00 Publication April 2015 For all formats available, see

The Birth of Critical Thinking in Republican Rome

cultivate habits of collaborative reading capable of enriching our lives together.

Publication March 2015

Advance praise: ‘In presenting analyses of five dialogues – Protagoras, Gorgias, Phaedo, Apology of Socrates, and Phaedrus – Long draws extensively on a wide range of Platonic scholarship. His interpretation of the meaning of Socrates’ claim to practice the true art of politics, its exemplification in the specific dialogues he treats, and the way in which Plato’s dialogues are intended to replicate it is nevertheless quite original. Emphasizing the importance of dialogue and the ways in which Socrates addressed specific individuals and tried to benefit them by forming a philosophical community, Long’s account of Socrates’ true art of politics does not describe political practice as it was ordinarily understood. It is much nobler and more high minded.’

What Would Socrates Do? Self-Examination, Civic Engagement, and the Politics of Philosophy Joel Alden Schlosser Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania

What Would Socrates Do? speaks to contemporary concerns with democratic citizenship, civic engagement, and political education. The main purposes of the book are twofold: first, to challenge the received opinion about Socrates by showing how his activities in democratic Athens involved productively challenging the extant political consensus; and second, to imagine alternative forms of political engagement inspired by Socrates. ‘Drawing on Plato, Aristophanes, and Xenophon, What Would Socrates Do? reconstructs Socrates’ philosophy alongside and against Athens’s late fifth-century political culture. Sensitive to text and context, it brings to light the ways in which Socrates’ engagements with foreigners, women, slaves, and citizens alike challenged the exclusions of Athens’s democratic ideology and transformed Athenian practices of accountability, free speech, and freedom in the direction of more democracy. [This book] develops ‘a philosophy that lives in the people who practice it together’ as a mode of civic engagement that is no less relevant for contemporary democratic culture than it was for fifth-century Athens.’ Jill Frank, University of South Carolina 2014 228 x 152 mm 212pp 978-1-107-06742-4 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 For all formats available, see

New English translations, with accessible commentary, of psychological and ethical writings by Galen, the foremost philosopher-doctor of the ancient world.

This volume examines the relationship between theology and philosophy in Augustine’s City of God, offering ways of negotiating the contested boundary between faith and reason. Topics covered include Augustine’s notion of the secular, his critique of pagan virtue, dystopian politics and moral psychology, and his conception of a Christian philosophy. ‘To guide readers into the bishop’s magnum opus, this collection of twelve essays, one of fifteen titles in the Cambridge Critical Guide series focusing on philosophical authors, draws upon specialists from the fields of theology, philosophy, and classics … a helpful resource for suitably equipped readers critically examining De civitate Dei … The contributions are diverse enough that few are likely to agree with every argument, but those arguments are generally well presented and the collection will stimulate discussion … academics in any pertinent field leading honours/ upper-division students through De civ. would be hard pressed not to find several essays here suitable for assigning as supplemental reading …’ David Neal Greenwood, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Cambridge Critical Guides

years, has long held a firm grip on the historical imagination. This is the first book in English for over fifty years to survey this most elusive and fascinating period in medieval history. It is also the first book in any language to combine the expertise of two authors who are specialists in the written, archaeological and visual evidence from this period, a combination of particular importance to the iconoclasm debate. The authors have worked together to provide a comprehensive overview of the visual, written and other materials that together help clarify the complex issues of iconoclasm in Byzantium. In doing so they challenge many traditional assumptions about iconoclasm and set the period firmly in its broader political, cultural and social-economic context. ‘This is the most important book on Byzantium to appear in my lifetime. The authors admirably fulfil their stated intention to discuss political recovery and institutional reshaping, the final stages in the evolution of eastern Orthodox dogma, the emergence of a new political and social elite, the transformation of urban life and also urban-rural relations, and the generation of a new ‘medieval’ perspective on the past.’ Thomas F.

David, King of Israel, and Caleb in Biblical Memory

DePauw University, Indiana

This is a comprehensive, authoritative and innovative account of Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, one of the most enigmatic and influential philosophies in the West. In twenty-one chapters covering a timespan from the sixth century BC to the seventeenth century AD, leading scholars construct a number of different images of Pythagoras and his community, assessing current scholarship and offering new answers to central problems. Chapters are devoted to the early Pythagoreans, and the full breadth of Pythagorean thought is explored including politics, religion, music theory, science, mathematics and magic. Separate chapters consider Pythagoreanism in Plato, Aristotle, the Peripatetics and the later Academic tradition, while others describe Pythagoreanism in the historical tradition, in Rome and in the pseudoPythagorean writings. The three great lives of Pythagoras by Diogenes Laertius, Porphyry and Iamblichus are also discussed in detail, as is the significance of Pythagoras for the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

A Social Archaeology of Households in Neolithic Greece An Anthropological Approach Stella G. Souvatzi

This volume, first published in 2008, addresses the household as a process and as a conceptual and analytical means through which we can interpret social organization. Using detailed case studies from Neolithic Greece and drawing on contemporary social theory and thought, Souvatzi examines how the household is defined socially, culturally and historically. ‘This is a useful book that adds much to our current understandings of the household. It will be of interest to those studying the Neolithic and to those interested in the variable nature of housing and households more generally.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review Cambridge Studies in Archaeology
