Waldemar Heckel The Conquests of Alexander the Great In this book, Waldemar Heckel traces the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history. In 325 BCE, Alexander and his conquering army prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Little did they know that within two years their beloved king would be dead and their labours seemingly wasted. Tracing the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history, Heckel engagingly, and with great detail, shows us how Alexander earned his appellation, The Great.

The Conquests of Alexander the Great Heckel The Conquests of Alexander the Great

This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and Augustus. It considers the legend that developed around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and embellished by later interpreters, arguing that the rewriting of Paul’s history into legend makes him a key transformative figure of classical antiquity.

The Story of an Ancient Life

ALEXANDER

GREAT

verything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals. From his birth into a hypercompetitive world of royal women through his training under the eyes and fists of stern soldiers and the piercing intellect of Aristotle; through friendships, rivalries, conquests and negotiations; through acts of generosity and acts of murder, this book explains who Alexander was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new “mixed” nature combining the human and the divine. This book explains what made Alexander “Great” according to the people and expectations of his time and place and rejects modern judgments asserted on the basis of an implicit moral superiority to antiquity.

Book XII brings Virgil’s Aeneid to a close, as the longdelayed single combat between Aeneas and Turnus ends with Turnus’ death – a finale that many readers find more unsettling than triumphant. In this, the first detailed single-volume commentary on the book in any language, Professor Tarrant explores Virgil’s complex portrayal of the opposing champions, his use and transformation of earlier poetry (Homer’s in particular), and his shaping of the narrative in its final phases. In addition to the linguistic and thematic commentary, the volume contains a substantial introduction that discusses the larger literary and historical issues raised by the poem’s conclusion; other sections include accounts of Virgil’s metre, later treatments of the book’s events in art and music, and the transmission of the text.The edition is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students,and will also be of interest to scholars of Latin literature.

Horace's first book of Satires is his debut work, a document of one man's self-fashioning on the cusp between Republic and Empire and a pivotal text in the history of Roman satire. It wrestles with the problem of how to define and assimilate satire and justifies the poet's own position in a suspicious society.The commentary gives full weight to the dense texture of these poems while helping readers interpret their most cryptic aspects and appreciate their technical finesse. The introduction puts Horace in context as late-Republican newcomer and a vital figure in the development of satire and discusses the structure and meaning of Satires I, literary and philosophical influences, style, metre, transmission and Horace's rich afterlife. Each poem is followed by an essay offering overall interpretation. This work is designed for upper-level students and scholars of classics but contains much of interest to specialists in later European literature.

Cicero: Pro Marco Caelio

Book XXII recounts the climax of the Iliad: the fatal encounter between the main defender of Troy and the greatest warrior of the Greeks, which results in the death of Hector and Achilles’ revenge for the death of his friend Patroclus. At the same time it adumbrates Achilles’ own death and the fall of Troy. This edition will help students and scholars better appreciate this key part of the epic poem. The introduction summarises central debates in Homeric scholarship, such as the circumstances of composition and the literary interpretation of an oral poem, and offers synoptic discussions of the structure of the Iliad, the role of the narrator, similes and epithets. There is a separate section on language, which provides a compact list of the most frequent Homeric characteristics. The commentary offers up-to-date linguistic guidance, and elucidates narrative techniques, typical elements and central themes.

odes I

Pro Marco Caelio is perhaps Cicero’s best-loved speech, and has long been regarded as one of the best surviving examples of Roman oratory. Speaking in defence of the young aristocrat Marcus Caelius Rufus on charges of political violence, Cicero scores his points with wit but also with searing invective directed at a supporter of the prosecution, Clodia Metelli, whom he represents as seeking vengeance as a lover spurned by his client.This new edition and detailed commentary offers advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as scholars, a detailed analysis of Cicero’s rhetorical strategies and stylistic refinements, and presents a systematic account of the background and significance of the speech, including in-depth explanations of Roman court proceedings.

P e o p l es of the Roman World

In this highly-illustrated book, Mary T. Boatwright examines five of the peoples incorporated into the Roman world from the Republican through the Imperial periods: northerners, Greeks, Egyptians, Jews, and Christians. She explores over time the tension between assimilation and distinctiveness in the Roman world, as well as the changes effected in Rome by its multicultural nature. Underlining the fundamental importance of diversity in Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-identity, the book explores Roman tolerance of difference and community as the Romans expanded and consolidated their power and incorporated other peoples into their empire. The Peoples of the Roman World provides an accessible account of Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social, cultural, religious, and political history, exploring the rich literary, documentary, and visual evidence for these peoples and Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reactions to them.

This book offers readers a comprehensive and innovative introduction to the economy of the Roman Empire. Focusing on the principal determinants, features, and consequences of Roman economic development and integrating additional web-based materials, it is designed as an up-to-date survey that is accessible to all audiences. Five main sections discuss theoretical approaches drawn from Economics, labor regimes, the production of power and goods, various means of distribution from markets to predation, and the success and ultimate failure of the Roman economy. The book not only covers traditionally prominent features such as slavery, food production, and monetization but also highlights the importance of previously neglected aspects such as the role of human capital, energy generation, rent-taking, logistics, and human wellbeing, and convenes a group of ﬁve experts to debate the nature of Roman trade.

ANCIENT ROME

Rome was the largest city in the ancient world. As the capital of the Roman Empire, it was clearly an exceptional city in terms of size, diversity, and complexity. While the Colosseum, imperial palaces and Pantheon are among its most famous features, this volume explores Rome primarily as a city in which many thousands of men and women were born, lived and died. The thirty-one chapters by leading historians, classicists and archaeologists discuss issues ranging from the monuments and the games to the food and water supply, from policing and riots to domestic housing, from death and disease to pagan cults and the impact of Christianity. Richly illustrated, the volume introduces groundbreaking new research against the background of current debates and is designed as a readable survey accessible in particular to undergraduates and non-specialists.

Ancient epistemoloGy

PleAsure in Ancient Greek PhilosoPhy

this is the first title in a new series, Key themes in Ancient philosophy, which will provide concise books, written by major scholars and accessible to non-specialists, on important themes in ancient philosophy which remain of philosophical interest today. in this book, professor Gerson explores ancient accounts of the nature of knowledge and belief, from the presocratics up to the platonists of late antiquity. He argues that ancient philosophers generally held a naturalistic view of knowledge as well as of belief. Hence, knowledge was not viewed as a stipulated or semantically determined type of belief but was rather a real or objectively determinable achievement. in fact, its attainment was identical with the highest possible cognitive achievement, namely wisdom. it was this naturalistic view of knowledge at which the ancient sceptics took aim. the book concludes by comparing the ancient naturalistic epistemology with some contemporary versions.

Gerson

Each book in this new series offers a concise and accessible treatment by a single author of a topic of major philosophical importance in the ancient Greek and Roman world. The emphasis is on discussion of debates of philosophical interest, placed within their historical context.

Greek Art

New Surveys in the Classics are a series of short books dedicated to key themes and concepts in the classical world. They examine a wide range of topics, from key figures such as Homer and Virgil, to subjects such as Greek tragedy, thought and science, women, slavery, Roman religion, and satire.

Second edition Brian Sparkes University of Southampton This survey of Greek art looks at material culture between 600 and 300 BC, concentrating on research from the past twenty years where new discoveries have queried and overturned old interpretations. Organised chronologically in terms of media, and accompanied by fifty images, the chapters discuss polychromy, the ethics of collecting and the relationship between scenes of myth and everyday life.

his book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the roman world. it enables readers, especially those new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential and the limitations of inscriptions as historical

world, and how it has been transmitted to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from the Bay of naples, illustrating the dynamic epigraphic culture of that region. The second explores in detail the nature of epigraphic culture in the roman world, probing the limitations of traditional ways of dividing up inscriptions into different categories, and offering examples of how epigraphic culture developed in different geographical, social, and religious contexts. it examines the ‘life-cycle’ of inscriptions – how they were produced, viewed, reused, and destroyed.

Other supplementary reading THommEn: An Environmental History of Ancient Greece and Rome PPC C m Y BLk

An Environmental History of Ancient Greece and Rome In ancient Greece and Rome an ambiguous relationship developed between man and nature, and this decisively determined the manner in which they treated the environment. on the one hand, nature was conceived as a space characterised and inhabited by divine powers, which deserved appropriate respect. on the other, a rationalist view emerged, according to which humans were to subdue nature using their technologies and to dispose of its resources. This book systematically describes the ways in which the Greeks and Romans intervened in the environment and thus traces the history of the tension between the exploitation of resources and the protection of nature, from early Greece to the period of late antiquity. At the same time, it analyses the comprehensive opening up of the mediterranean and the northern frontier regions, both for settlement and for economic activity. The book’s level and approach make it highly accessible to students and non-specialists.

This book is a lively and accessible account of the relationship between man and nature in Graeco-Roman antiquity. Lukas Thommen describes the ways in which the Greeks and Romans intervened in the environment and thus traces the history of tension between the exploitation of resources and the protection of nature.

Mid fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open hostilities between the two greatest powers of ancient Greece. The Athenian statesman Pericles both fostered and supported many of these developments. While it is no longer fashionable to view Periclean Athens as a social or cultural paradigm, study of the history, society, art and literature of mid fifth-century Athens remains central to any understanding of Greek history. This Companion volume reveals the political, religious, economic, social, artistic, literary, intellectual, and military infrastructure that made the Age of Pericles possible. The essays collectively demonstrate the advances in our knowledge of fifth-century Athens over the last century and suggest new ways that we might begin to conceive of the Age of Pericles.

THE AEGEAN BRONZE AGE

This Companion volume offers fifteen original essays on the Hellenistic world and is intended to complement and supplement general histories of the period from Alexander the Great to Kleopatra VII of Egypt. Each chapter treats a different aspect of the Hellenistic world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; religion, philosophy, family, economy, material culture, and military campaigns, among other topics. The essays address key questions about this period: To what extent were Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conquests responsible for the creation of this new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hellenistic ageâ&#x20AC;?? What is the essence of this world and how does it differ from its Classical predecessor? What continuities and discontinuities can be identified? Collectively, the essays provide an indepth view of a complex world. The volume also provides the most recent bibliography on the topics along with recommendations for further reading.
