2nd Edition

An Introduction to the Ancient World

The Romans

L. de Blois, University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands and R.J. van der Spek, Free University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Antony Kamm

Translated by Susan Mellor

Integrating the results of scholarly work from the past decade, the authors of An Introduction to the Ancient World have fully-updated and revised all sixteen chapters of this best-selling introductory textbook. Covering the history and culture of the ancient Near East, Greece and Rome within the framework of a short narrative history of events, this book offers an easily readable, integrated overview for students of history, classics, archaeology and philosophy. This revised second edition offers a new section on early Christianity and more specific information on the religions, economies, and societies of the ancient Near East. There is extended coverage of Greek, Macedonian and Near Eastern history of the fourth to second centuries BC and the history of the Late Roman Republic. The consequences of Julius Caesar’s violent death are covered in more detail, as are the history and society of Imperial Rome. Benefits and features of this edition include: • comprehensive: covers 3,000 years of ancient history and provides the basis for a typical one-semester course • lavishly illustrated: contains maps, line drawings and plates to support and supplement the text, with updated captions • clearly and concisely written: two established and respected university teachers with thirty years’ experience in the subject areas • well-organized: traces the broad outline of political history but also concentrates on particular topics

An Introduction Series: Peoples of the Ancient World The second edition of The Romans: An Introduction is a concise, readable, and comprehensive survey of the civilization of ancient Rome. It covers more than 1200 years of political and military history, including many of the famous, and infamous, personalities who featured in them. Further, it describes the religions, society, and daily life of the Romans, and their literature, art, architecture, and technology, illustrated by extracts in new translations from Latin and Greek authors of the times.

This second edition contains extensive additional and revised material. In particular, the chapter on religions has been expanded, as have the sections on the role of women and on Roman social divisions and cultural traditions. There is more, too, on the diversity and administration of the empire at different periods, on changes in the army, and on significant figures of the middle and later imperial eras. New features include a glossary of Latin terms and timelines. Maps have been redrawn and new ones included along with extra illustrations, and reading lists have been revised and updated. The book now has its own dedicated website at www.the-romans.co.uk, which is packed full of additional resources. 2008: 234x156: 264pp Hb: 978-0-415-45824-5: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-45825-2: £17.99 eBook: 978-0-203-89508-5 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415458252 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

The Routledge History of the Ancient World Series Series Editor: F.G.B. Millar, Brasenose College, University of Oxford, UK Designed for undergraduate and upper-level school students, the volumes in this series provide a complete history of the ancient world. Emphasis is put on the plentiful quotation of original source material in translation, and the full notes and bibliography enable students to pursue further topics independently. 2nd Edition

3rd Edition

Greece in the Making 1200–479 BC

The Greek World 479–323 BC

Robin Osborne, University of Cambridge, UK

Greece in the Making 1200–479 BC is an accessible and comprehensive account of Greek history from the end of the Bronze Age to the Classical Period. The first edition of this book broke new ground by acknowledging that, barring a small number of archaic poems and inscriptions, the majority of our literary evidence for archaic Greece reported only what later writers wanted to tell, and so was subject to systematic selection and distortion. This book offers a narrative which acknowledges the later traditions, as traditions, but insists that we must primarily confront the contemporary evidence, which is in large part archaeological and art historical, and must make sense of it in its own terms. In this second edition Robin Osborne has addressed more explicitly the weaknesses and unsustainable interpretations which the first edition chose merely to pass over. He now spells out why this book features no ‘rise of the polis’ and no ‘colonization’, and why the treatment of Greek settlement abroad is necessarily spread over various chapters. Selected Contents: 1. The Traditions of History 2. Setting the Stage 3. The Problem of Beginnings 4. Forming Communities: The Eighth Century BC 5. The World of Hesiod and of Homer 6. Reforming Communities: The Seventh Century BC 7. The Greek World in 600BC 8. Inter-Relating Cities: The Short Sixth Century (600–520 BC) 9. The Transformation of Archaic Greece 520–479 BC

Simon Hornblower ’To write a standard history which contains the essential material and yet is interesting and says things which have not been said before is one of the hardest tasks. Hornblower has performed it excellently.’ – Times Literary Supplement

’Hornblower’s excellence as a historian ... re-establishes the book’s position as a benchmark for historians ... It is packed to the brim ... with an abundance of erudite observations.’ – Scholia Reviews The Greek World 479–323 BC has been an indispensable guide to classical Greek history since its first publication. Simon Hornblower has comprehensively re-written and revised his original text, bringing it up-to-date for a new generation of readers. The extensive changes include: • two important new chapters – Argos, and the Peloponnesian War • the incorporation of further primary sources • more than thirty new illustrations • the insertion of user-friendly subheadings • a completely updated bibliography. With valuable coverage of the broader Mediterranean world in which Greek culture flourished, as well as close examination of Athens, Sparta, and the other great city-states of Greece itself, this third edition of a classic work is a more essential read than ever before.

The Routledge History of the Ancient World Series (continued) The Greek World After Alexander 323–30 BC Graham Shipley ’This is an excellent book, the best introduction to the Hellenistic world available in English, and perhaps the best single-volume introduction available in any language.’ – Journal of Hellenic Studies

An appraisal of the momentous military and political changes after the era of Alexander, this book considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy, and science, and establishes how far they are presented as radical departures from the culture of Classical Greece or were continuous developments from it. Graham Shipley explores the culture of the Hellenistic world in the context of the social divisions between an educated elite and a general population at once more mobile and less involved in the political life of the Greek city. 1999: 234x156: 600pp Hb: 978-0-415-04617-6: £75.00 Pb: 978-0-415-04618-3: £23.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415046183 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

The Beginnings of Rome Italy and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars (c.1000–264 BC) T.J. Cornell

’Cornell’s lucid review of what we know of early Rome (to 264 BC) is excellent value ... The book is warmly recommended.’ – JACT Review

’Cornell’s is the most authoritative study of early Roman history to have been written by a single author since Beloch’s Romanische Geschichte of 1926. The Beginnings of Rome is an authoritative, important, and timely book from which we are all benefiting, and from which much subsequent study of early Rome will start.’ – The Classical Review Using the results of archaeological techniques, and examining methodological debates, The Beginnings of Rome offers insight on major issues such as: • Rome’s relations with the Etruscans • the conflict between patricians and plebeians • the causes of Roman imperialism • the growth of slave-based economy. Answering the need for raising acute questions and providing an analysis of the many different kinds of archaeological evidence with literary sources, this is the most comprehensive study of the subject available, and is essential reading for students of Roman history. 1995: 234x156: 528pp Pb: 978-0-415-01596-7: £23.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415015967 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

The Roman Republic 264–44 BC Edward Bispham, Brasenose College, University of Oxford, UK

The Roman Empire at Bay, AD 180–395 David S. Potter

This is the gripping story of the rise and fall of the Roman Republic: meteoric imperial expansion enriched and corrupted the ruling aristocracy, which was then unable either to rule the vast empire effectively or to resist the challenge of popular power within Rome itself. Political tensions, enormous wealth and imperial ambition fuelled a vicious circle of competition, in which the number of players decreased as the stakes rose, until two military dynasts, Caesar and Pompeius, went to war for control of the commonwealth.

’The Roman Empire at Bay is an excellently written, well-documented, clearly structured, very complete and extensive book. Extremely well furnished with numismatic and prosopographical evidence and including the latest scholarship, it cannot be ignored by future scholars of the third and fourth centuries and will certainly take the place of many previous works on the subject.’ – BMCR

This book traces these processes in detail, but also gives more space than has been traditional to the impact of Rome’s military, cultural and economic expansion on her subjects, both in Italy and in the provinces.

David S. Potter’s comprehensive survey of two critical and eventful centuries traces the course of imperial decline, skilfully weaving together cultural, intellectual and political history.

Further, the latest archaeological research is drawn on to illustrate developments in society, religion and culture which affected much larger sections of the Mediterranean under Rome. The volume seeks to show what changes flowed from Roman rule, and how Rome itself was transformed: although the Republic failed, late republican society was a vibrant and fertile intellectual and cultural community in a phase of rapid transition, painful but brilliant.

A striking achievement of historical synthesis combined with a compelling interpretative line, The Roman Empire at Bay, AD 180–395 enables students of all periods to understand the dynamics of great imperial powers.

The Carthaginians Dexter Hoyos, University of Sydney, Australia

With almost no writings by Carthaginians themselves surviving, knowledge of the city and society has long been based on what their Greek and Roman enemies recorded. Archaeology now contributes physical, impartial evidence to heighten the colours of this lost society.

This book traces the course of Carthaginian civilization with up-to-date archaeological examinations and translated selections from ancient writers such as Herotodus, Aristotle, Livy and Plutarch. It also focuses on their religious and cult practices and the lurid reports about child-sacrifice. A useful starting point for students, The Carthaginians reveals what the ancient world actually owed to a civilization which has been unfairly disdained throughout history. Selected Contents: 1.

The Fragments of the Local Chronicles of Attika

Ancient Greece Social and Historical Documents from Archaic Times to the Death of Alexander Matthew Dillon and Lynda Garland, both at University of New England, Australia Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World

In this revised edition, Matthew Dillon and Lynda Garland have expanded the chronological range of Ancient Greece to include the Greek world of the fourth century. This sourcebook now ranges from the first lines of Greek literature to the death of Alexander the Great, covering all of the main historical periods and social phenomena of ancient Greece. The material is taken from a variety of sources: historians, inscriptions, graffiti, law codes, epitaphs, decrees, drama and poetry. It includes the major literary authors, but also covers a wide selection of writers, including many non-Athenian authors. Whilst focusing on the main cities of ancient Greece – Athens and Sparta – the sourcebook also draws on a wide range of material concerning the Greeks in Egypt, Italy, Sicily, Asia Minor and the Black Sea. Ancient Greece covers not only the chronological, political history of ancient Greece, but also explores the full spectrum of Greek life through topics such as gender, social class, race and labour. This revised edition includes: • two completely new chapters – ’The Rise of Macedon’ and ’Alexander ‘the Great’, 336–323’ BC • new material in the chapters on The City-State, Religion in the Greek World, Tyrants and Tyranny, The Peloponnesian War and its Aftermath, Labour: Slaves, Serfs and Citizens, and Women, Sexuality and the Family. It is structured so that: • thematically arranged chapters allow students to gradually build up knowledge of the ancient Greek world • introductory essays to each chapter give necessary background to understand topic areas • linking commentaries help students understand the source extracts and what they reveal about the ancient Greeks.

Roman Imperial Biographies Series Julius Caesar

NEW

Galerius and the Will of Diocletian Bill Leadbetter, Edith Cowan University, Australia

The Colossus of Rome

Richard A. Billows, Columbia University, USA

Julius Caesar offers a lively, engaging, and thoroughly up-to-date account of Caesar’s life and times. Richard A. Billows’ dynamic and fast paced narrative offers an imaginative recounting of actions and events, providing the ideal introduction to Julius Caesar for general readers and students of classics and ancient history.

The book is not just a biography of Caesar, but a historical account and explanation of the decline and fall of the Roman Republican governing system, in which Caesar played a crucial part. To understand Caesar’s life and role, it is necessary to grasp the political, social and economic problems Rome was grappling with, and the deep divisions within Roman society that came from them. Caesar has been seen variously as a mere opportunist, a power-hungry autocrat, an arrogant aristocrat disdaining rivals, a traditional Roman noble politician who stumbled into civil war and autocracy thanks to being misunderstood by his rivals, and even as the ideal man and pattern of all virtues. Billows argues that such portrayals fail to consider the universal testimony of our ancient sources that Roman political life was divided in Caesar’s time into two great political tendencies, called ’optimates’ and ’populares’ in the sources, of which Caesar came to be the leader of one: the ’popularis’ faction. Billows suggests that it is only when we see Caesar as the leader of a great political and social movement, that had been struggling with its rival movement for decades and had been several times violently repressed in the course of that struggle, that we can understand how and why Caesar came to fight and win a civil war, and bring the traditional governing system of Rome to an end. 2008: 234x156: 336pp Hb: 978-0-415-33314-6: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-41276-3 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415333146

Drawing from a variety of sources – literary, visual, archaeological; papyri, inscriptions and coins – the author studies the nature of Diocletian’s imperial strategy, his wars, his religious views and his abdication. The author also examines Galerius’ endeavour to take control of Diocletian’s empire, his failures and successes, against the backdrop of Constantine’s remorseless drive to power.

The first comprehensive study of the Emperor Galerius, this book offers an innovative analysis of his reign as both Caesar and Augustus, using his changing relationship with Diocletian as the principal key to unlock the complex imperial politics of the period.

Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy

Roman Britain A Sourcebook

Charles M. Odahl, Boise State University, USA

Stanley Ireland, University of Warwick, UK

Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World

This story of Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy is set within, and offers a case study of, the political, military, economic and social crises besetting the late Roman Republic in the era of the ’Roman Revolution’. The book chronicles the efforts of the defeated radical politician Lucius Sergius Catilina to bring together a group of disaffected Roman nobles and discontented Italian farmers in a conspiracy to overthrow the republican government at Rome and to take control of the Italian peninsula (while the proconsul Pompey the Great and the majority of Roman military units were campaigning in the Near East), and the success of the conservative optimate consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in uncovering the conspiracy, driving Catiline out of Rome, and defeating his revolutionary followers in the capital and in Etruria. The narrative reveals the political corruption, economic problems, and military instability which were leading to the demise of the republican system and the rise of an imperial government in the first century BC. The author’s comprehensive knowledge of the ancient sources and the modern scholarship relevant to the last century of the republic has allowed him to offer a detailed and definitive account of this important episode in Roman history. In the same seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis through which he enlightened the Roman imperial age of Constantine, Charles M. Odahl here illuminates the Roman republican era of Cicero. This book is a significant publication in Ciceronian studies and will become the standard account of the Catilinarian Conspiracy.

Roman Britain: A Sourcebook has established itself as the only comprehensive collection of source material on the subject. It incorporates literary, numismatic and epigraphic evidence for the history of Britain under Roman rule, as well as translations of major literary sources.

This third edition includes not only recently discovered material, but also the texts of Caesar’s commentaries on his expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC, as well as relevant sections of Tacitus’ biography of his father-in-law, former governor of Britain. The inclusion of these pivotal texts, which provide the most detailed account of the Romans campaigns in Britain, significantly underlies the volume’s usefulness to all students of Roman Britain. Though most of the material is arranged chronologically, there are also thematic sections on geography, religion and social and economic activity. Each section is prefaced by an introductory note, and the inclusion of illustrations and maps enhances the attractiveness of this updated collection as a teaching tool and a work of reference. 2008: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-47177-0: £70.00 Pb: 978-0-415-47178-7: £22.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88669-4 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415471787 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

They will explore churches and fortifications, monasteries and palaces, from Constantinople to Cyprus and Syria in the east, and to Apulia and Venice in the west. Secular and sacred art, profane and spiritual literature will be revealed to the reader, who will be encouraged to read, see, smell and touch. The worlds of Byzantine ceremonial and sanctity, liturgy and letters, Orthodoxy and heresy will be explored, by both leading and innovative international scholars.

Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World

Late Antiquity (ca. 250–650) witnessed the transition from Classical Antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. Christianity displaced polytheism over a wide area, offering new definitions of identity and community. The Roman Empire collapsed in Western Europe to be replaced by new ’Germanic’ kingdoms. In the East, Byzantium emerged, while the Persian Empire reached its apogee and collapsed. Arab armies carrying the banner of Islam reshaped the political map and brought the late antique era to a close. This sourcebook illustrates the dramatic political, social and religious transformations of Late Antiquity through the words of the men and women who experienced them. Drawing from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Hebrew, Coptic, Persian, Arabic and Armenian sources, the carefully chosen passages illuminate the lives of emperors, abbesses, aristocrats, slaves, children, barbarian chieftains, and saints. The Roman Empire is kept at the centre of the discussion, with chapters devoted to its government, cities, army, law, medicine, domestic life, philosophy, Christianity, polytheism, and Jews. Further chapters deal with the peoples who surrounded the Roman state: Persians, Huns, northern ’Germanic’ barbarians, and the followers of Islam. This revised and updated second edition provides an expanded view of Late Antiquity with a new chapter on domestic life, as well extra material throughout, including passages that appear for the first time in English translation. Readings in Late Antiquity is the only sourcebook that covers such a wide range of topics over the full breadth of the late antique period.

Information about the city from authors based in Rome is included, and the great majority of sources come from the city itself, written by its ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. With helpful introductions, notes and illustrations, this sourcebook will appeal to anyone with an interest in Pompeii and in daily life in Roman times.

Animals in Greek and Roman Thought An Anthology of Readings Stephen Newmyer, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, USA How did the Greeks and Romans treat animals? The campaign for animal rights has grown enormously during the liberal latter half of the twentieth century. However, ethical debate over animals and the way that humans treat them can be traced back to the philosophers and literati of the ancient world. From Plutarch’s passioned arguments for animals as rational and sentient beings, to Aristotle’s lowly placement of them in his Chain of Being, or scala naturae, it is clear that modern debate owes much to the Ancients. Animals in Greek and Roman Thought brings together new translations of classical passages which contributed to ancient world debate of animals and their rights. Ancient texts by both literary authors and philosophers, some of which are translated into English for the first time, debate such questions such as: • How do animals differ from humans intellectually? • Were animals created for the use of humankind? • Should animals be used for food, sport, or sacrifice? • Can animals be our friends? Arranged thematically for ease of reference, this book will be an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and academics in philosophy and ethics, classical studies and ancient science.

The only large-scale examination of ancient birds for seventy years, the book has an exhaustive bibliography (partly classical scholarship and partly ornithological) to encourage further study, and provides students and ornithologists with the definitive study of ancient birds.

If, as many claim, the importance of clothes lies in their detail, then this a book that no sartorially savvy Classicist should be without. Greek and Roman Dress from A to Z is an alphabetized compendium of styles and accessories that form the well-known classical image: a reference source of stitches, drapery, hairstyles, colours, fabrics and jewellery, and an analysis of the intricate system of social meanings that they comprise.

Athens

Childhood in Ancient Athens

A University City

Lesley Beaumont, University of Sydney, Australia

Niall Livingstone, University of Birmingham, UK

Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

In the late fifth century BC, Athens’ prosperity was a magnet for ambitious teachers, and increasingly for students also. They came to experience and acquire the Athenian culture, the mark of ’civilized’ humanity. At Athens they could sample many teachers: experts in history, poetry, cosmology, persuasive speech, mathematical sciences and theology, and in the fiercely contested fields of statecraft and philosophy. But the city offered more than this. Besides its great works of visual art and architecture, its gymnasia and other meeting places, and a cosmopolitan international port, there were regular public festivals involving artistic display and competition. The unique democratic governance of the city meant a daily diet of political questions and arguments in the courts, council and assembly: for foreign visitors, constant material for discussion: for the Athenian citizens themselves, a participatory forum of ’hands-on’ learning.

Lesley Beaumont offers an in-depth study of children and childhood in ancient Athens. It concentrates not only on a child’s experience of childhood, but also examines the perceptions of children and childhood by Athenian society. Iconographical study is placed in a socio-historical context and topics covered include mythological and mortal children and childhood, birth, play, and ritual.

Athens has been synonymous with the life of the intellect, and Athens: A University City tells you just why. It is more than a history of education in terms of curriculum and shows the position of education and ideas in ancient Athens as a whole, providing an understanding of Athenian intellectual culture across the whole social range, and within its socio-political context.

CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2009

Greek and Roman Education A Sourcebook Mark Joyal, University of Manitoba, Canada, Iain McDougall, University of Winnipeg, Canada and J.C. Yardley, University of Ottawa, Canada Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World

Modern western education finds its origins in the practices, systems and schools of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is in the field of education, in fact, that classical antiquity has exerted one of its clearest influences on the modern world. Yet the story of Greek and Roman education, extending from the eighth century B.C. into the Middle Ages, is familiar in its details only to relatively few specialists.

Containing nearly 300 translated texts and documents, Greek and Roman Education: A Sourcebook is the first book to provide readers with a large, diverse and representative sample of the primary evidence for ancient Greek and Roman education. A special feature of this sourcebook is the inclusion not only of the fundamental texts for the study of the subject, but also unfamiliar sources that are of great interest but are not easily accessible, including inscriptions on stone and Greek papyri from Egypt. Introductions to each chapter and to each selection provide the guidance which readers need to set the historical periods, themes and topics into meaningful contexts. Fully illustrated and including extensive suggestions for further reading, together with an index of passages explored, students will have no further need for any other sourcebook on Greek and Roman education. 2008: 234x156: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-33806-6: £70.00 Pb: 978-0-415-33807-3: £22.99 eBook: 978-0-203-44832-8 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415338073 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

The Roman Garden

NEW

Space, Sense and Society

Rome On Film

Katharine T. von Stackelberg, Brock University, Canada

A Reader

Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Edited by Gideon Nisbet, University of Birmingham, UK

This innovative book is the first comprehensive study of ancient Roman gardens to combine literary and archaeological evidence with contemporary space theory. It applies a variety of interdisciplinary methods including access analysis, literary and gender theory to offer a critical framework for interpreting Roman gardens as physical sites and representations.

This reader is a comprehensive anthology of critical articles in the development of the study of films about ancient Rome. Including an accessible introduction and elucidating editorial comments throughout, it is an ideal resource for undergraduate students taking courses on Romans in film. The approach to the subject is both theoretical and historical, with the articles arranged chronologically, tracking ’Rome on film’ from its origins up to the present day. Particular emphasis is given to receptions of Imperial Rome on Hollywood film.

The Roman Garden: Space, Sense and Society examines how the garden functioned as a conceptual, sensual and physical space in Roman society, and its use as a vehicle of cultural communication. Readers will learn not only about the content and development of the Roman garden, but also how they promoted memories and experiences. It includes a detailed original analysis of garden terminology and concludes with three case studies on the House of Octavius Quartio and the House of the Menander in Pompeii, Pliny’s Tuscan garden, and Caligula’s Horti Lamiani in Rome.

Dress and the Roman Woman Self-Presentation and Society Kelly Olson, University of Western Ontario, Canada In ancient Rome, the subtlest details in dress helped to distinguish between levels of social and moral hierarchy. Clothes were a key part of the sign systems of Roman civilization – a central aspect of its visual language, for women as well as men.

This engaging book collects and examines artistic evidence and literary references to female clothing, cosmetics and ornament in Roman antiquity, deciphering their meaning and revealing what it meant to be an adorned woman in Roman society. Cosmetics, ornaments and fashion were often considered frivolous, wasteful or deceptive, which reflects ancient views about the nature of women. However, Kelly Olson uses literary evidence to argue that women often took pleasure in fashioning themselves, and many treated adornment as a significant activity, enjoying the social status, influence and power that it signified. 2008: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-41475-3: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-41476-0: £19.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415414760

Images of Ancient Greek Pederasty Boys Were Their Gods Andrew Lear, University of Columbia, USA and Eva Cantarella, University of Milan, Italy

’This volume will be a much-used starting point for students and scholars of Greek male sexuality.’ – Times Higher Education Supplement

This lavishly illustrated book brings together, for the first time, all of the different ways in which vase-painting portrays or refers to pederasty, from scenes of courtship, foreplay, and sex, to scenes of Zeus with his boy-love Ganymede, to painted inscriptions praising the beauty of boys. The book shows how painters used the language of vase-painting to cast pederasty in an idealizing light, portraying it as part of a world in which beautiful elite males display praiseworthy attitudes, such as moderation, and engage in approved activities, such as hunting, athletics, and the symposium. The book also incorporates a comprehensive catalogue of relevant vase-paintings, compiled by noted archaeologist Keith DeVries. It is the most comprehensive treatment available of an institution that has few modern parallels. Selected Contents: Introduction. Textual Evidence. The Iconography of Pederasty. What is Iconography? Elements of Iconography 1. Courtship. Courting-gift Scenes. Other Courtship Iconographies. 2. Ideals/Idealization 3. Consummation 4. Pederasty and the Gods 5. Kalos-inscriptions 6. Vase Dating 7.

Cornelia Mother of the Gracchi Suzanne Dixon, University of Queensland, Australia

Examining the remarkable life of Cornelia, famed as the epitome of virtue, fidelity and intelligence, Suzanne Dixon presents an in-depth study of the woman who perhaps represented the ideal of the Roman matrona more than any other.

Terentia, Tullia and Publilia The Women of Cicero’s Family Susan Treggiari, University of Oxford, UK

Studying references and writings in over 900 personal letters, an unparalleled source, this book presents a rounded and intriguing account of the three women who, until now, have only survived as secondary figures to Cicero.

This book contains a fresh re-assessment of the one of the most significant figures of her time and questions: • Was Julia more powerful than earlier empresses? • Did she really promote despotism?

As part of a dynasty which used force and violence to preserve its rule, she was distrusted by its subjects; as a Syrian, she was the object of prejudice; as a woman with power, she was resented. On the other hand, Domna was the centre of a literary circle considered highly significant by nineteenth-century admirers. 2007: 234x156: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-33143-2: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-33144-9: £20.99 eBook: 978-0-203-39241-6 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415331449

Greek and Roman Networks in the Mediterranean

NEW

Edited by Irad Malkin, Tel Aviv University, Israel, Christy Constantakopoulou, Birkbeck College, London, UK and Katerina Panagopoulou, University of Crete, Greece

An Introduction

How useful is the concept of ’network’ for historical studies and the ancient world in particular? Using theoretical models of social network analysis, this book illuminates aspects of the economic, social, religious, and political history of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds.

Classical Literature: An Introduction provides a series of essays on the essential aspects of Greek and Latin literature. In conjunction with contextualizing introductions, the material is presented chronologically, by genre and, where appropriate, by author. The book ranges from Homer to the Roman Empire and includes a chronology of ancient literature, maps, lists of Greek and Roman authors and suggestions for further reading. The collection will be essential for students and others who want a structured and informative introduction to the literature of the classical world.

Bringing together some of the most active and prominent researchers in ancient history, this book moves beyond political institutions, ethnic, and geographical boundaries in order to observe the ancient Mediterranean through a perspective of network interaction. It employs a wide range of approaches, and to examine relationships and interactions among various social entities in the Mediterranean. Chronologically, the book extends from the early Iron Age to the late Antique world, covering the Mediterranean between Antioch in the east to Massalia (Marseilles) in the west. This book was published as two special issues in Mediterranean Historical Review.

Theory for Classics

2nd Edition

A Student’s Guide

Three Plays by Aristophanes

Louise Hitchcock, University of Melbourne, Australia

Staging Women

This student’s guide is a clear and concise handbook to the key connections between Classical Studies and critical theory in the twentieth century. Louise Hitchcock looks at the way Classics has been engaged across a number of disciplines.

Translated and Edited by Jeffrey Henderson, Boston University, USA Series: New Classical Canon

’The translations of the three plays, Lysistrata, Women at the Thesmophoria, and Assemblywomen, are straightforward, reliable, and fun to read. Readers interested in women’s history and gender studies will especially welcome Henderson’s contribution to their fields.’ – Bryn Mawr Classical Review

These three plays by the great comic playwright Aristophanes (c.446–386 BCE), the well-known Lysistrata, and the less familiar Women at the Thesmophoria and Assemblywomen, are the earliest surviving portrayals of contemporary women in the European literary tradition. These plays provide a unique glimpse of women not only in their familiar domestic roles but also in relation to household and city, religion and government, war and peace, theatre and festival, and, of course, to men. This revised edition presents all three plays in faithful modern translations that preserve intact Aristophanes’ blunt and often obscene language, sparkling satire, political provocation, and beguiling fantasy. Alongside the translations are ample introductions and notes covering the politically engaged genre of Aristophanic comedy in general and issues of sex and gender in particular, which have been fully updated since the first edition in light of recent scholarship. An appendix contains fragments of lost plays of Aristophanes that also featured women, and an up-to-date bibliography provides guidance for further exploration. In addition to their timeless humour and biting satire, the plays are unique and invaluable documents in the history of western sexuality and gender, and they offer strikingly prescient speculations about the social and political future of the female sex.

Analyzing the work of such names as Ennius, Pacuvius and Accius, as well as Seneca and his post-Neronian successors, A.J. Boyle delves into detailed discussion on every Roman tragedian whose work survives in substance today. Roman Tragedy examines: • the history of Roman tragic techniques and conventions • the history of generic form and change • the debt that Rome owes to Greece, and text owes to text • the birth, development and death of Roman tragedy in the context of the cities evolving, institutions, ideologies and political and social practices • tragedy proper and the historical drama (fabula praetexta), which the Romans allied to tragedy. With parallel English translations of Latin quotations, this seminal work not only provides an invaluable resource for students of theatre, Roman political history and cultural history, but it is also accessible to all interested in the social dynamics of writing, spectacle, ideology and power. 2005: 216x138: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-25102-0: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-25103-7: £16.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415251037 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Brian Campbell has selected and translated a wide range of pieces from the ancient military writers and also includes extracts from historians who have interesting comments on warfare and society.

Rhiannon Evans explores the tropes of the utopian and dystopian in ancient Roman texts. She addresses the ways in which concepts of the idealized and degenerate functioned as metaphor and symbol in Roman discourses. Utopia and its inverse are vital markers of cultural yearning and desire.

Latin Verse Satire

Ancient Graffiti in Context

An Anthology and Reader

Edited by Jennifer Baird and Claire Taylor

Edited by Paul Allen Miller

Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Graffiti is very common within the ancient world, but remains underexploited as a form of archaeological or historical evidence. This volume interrogates this cultural phenomenon and by doing so brings it into the mainstream of ancient history and archaeology. Focusing on different approaches to and interpretations of graffiti from a variety of sites and chronological contexts, Jennifer Baird and Claire Taylor pose a series of questions not previously asked of this evidence, such as: • What is graffiti, and how can we interpret it? • What ways, and with whom, do graffiti communicate? • To what extent does graffiti represent or subvert the cultural values of the society in which it occurs? By comparing themes across time and space in the ancient world, the authors are able to define and contextualize graffiti, and provide a series of interpretative strategies for scholars and students of the ancient world. Ancient graffiti ranges from texts and images written or drawn both inside and outside buildings, in public and private places, to those on monuments in the city and on mountains in the countryside; what unites them conceptually is that they can be seen as actively engaging with their environment in a variety of ways. This book explores these engagements and demonstrates how differences of scale and spatial dynamics can be negotiated, and as such will be essential reading for classical archaeologists and historians alike.

A wide variety of texts by the Latin satirists are presented here in a fully loaded resource to provide an innovative reading of satire’s relation to Roman ideology. Brimming with notes, commentaries, essays and texts in translation, this book succeeds in its mission to help the student understand the history of Latin’s modern scholarly reception.

Focusing on the linguistic difficulties and problems of usage, and examining aspects of meter and style necessary for poetry appreciation, the commentary places each selection in its own historical context then using essays and critical excerpt, the genre’s most salient features are elucidated to provide a further understanding of its place in history. Extremely student friendly, this stands well both as a companion to Latin Erotic Elegy and in its own right as an invaluable fund of knowledge for any Latin literature scholar. 2005: 234x156: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-31715-3: £75.00 Pb: 978-0-415-31716-0: £21.99 eBook: 978-0-203-02283-2 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415317160 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Diana Fay Glinister

Diana, an important goddess of ancient Italy, has sometimes been misunderstood as a mere borrowing from Greece, an Italic version of Artemis, but in fact she is very much more.

Diana is a goddess of many contrasts and contrasting functions: a virgin who supervises both motherhood and the origins of life, and death; a deity connected with the most intimate moments of feminine life, who also presides over political leagues of cities, and who is served at one major sanctuary by a priest with violent and bloody origins. Despite her importance, Diana has not received comprehensive treatment in print however; this book provides a remarkable and comprehensive portrayal of the deity.

Oedipus Lowell Edmunds

An indispensable guide to the myth of Oedipus, this book is the first to analyze its long and varied history from ancient times to the modern day, and presented with an authoritative survey that considers Oedipus in art and music as well as in literature.

Popularly known as the god of wine and frenzied abandon, and an influential figure for theatre where drama originated as part of the cult of Dionysos, Seaford goes beyond the mundane and usual to explore the history and influence of this god as never before.

Lowell Edmunds accepts this variation as the driving force in its longevity and popularity. Refraining from seeking for an original form of the myth, Edmunds relates the changes in content in the myth to changes in meaning, eschewing the notion that one particular version can be set as standard.

Medea

Perseus

Emma Griffiths

Daniel Ogden, University of Exeter, UK Giving access to the latest critical thinking on the subject, Medea is a comprehensive guide to sources that paints a vivid portrait of the Greek sorceress Medea, famed in myth for the murder of her children after she is banished from her own home and replaced by a new wife. Emma Griffiths brings into focus previously unexplored themes of the Medea myth, and provides an incisive introduction to

the story and its history.

The son of Zeus, Perseus belongs in the first rank of Greek heroes. Indeed to some he was a greater hero even than Heracles. With the help of Hermes and Athena he slew the Gorgon Medusa, conquered a mighty sea monster and won the hand of the beautiful princess Andromeda. This volume tells of his enduring myth, it’s rendering in art and literature, and its reception through the Roman period and up to the modern day.

Studying Medea’s ‘everywoman’ status – one that has caused many intricacies of her tale to be overlooked – Griffiths places the story in ancient and modern context and reveals fascinating insights into ancient Greece and its ideology, the importance of life, the role of women and the position of the outsider.

This is the first scholarly book in English devoted to Perseus’ myth in its entirety for over a century. With information drawn from a diverse range of sources as well as varied illustrations, the volume illuminates the importance of the Perseus myth throughout the ages.

In clear, user-friendly terms, the book situates the myth within analytical frameworks such as psychoanalysis, and Griffiths highlights Medea’s position in current classical study as well as her lasting appeal.

Zeus Ken Dowden

The first book to capture a complete picture of the most important of Greek gods in one reliable volume for almost seventy years, this masterly and comprehensive study looks at myth, cult, art, philosophy, drama and theology and presents a new millennium examination of the fascinating god Zeus.

Seeking to locate the nature of this compelling tale’s continuing relevance throughout history, Carol Dougherty traces a history of the myth of Prometheus from its origins in ancient Greece, to its resurgence in the works of the Romantic era and beyond.

Offering a comparative approach that includes visual material and film, the book reveals a Prometheus who was a rebel against Zeus’ tyranny to Aeschylus, a defender of political and artistic integrity to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a symbol of technological innovation during the industrial revolution; his resilience and adaptability illuminating his power and importance in Western culture.

Religious Dissent in the Roman Empire

Bronwen Neil, Australian Catholic University, Australia

Vasily Rudich, Yale University, USA

Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies This is the third in Vasily Rudich’s trilogy on the intellectual roots of opposition to Nero’s rule. The author’s approach is based in his own experience, as a Russian exile, of the dissident mentality in the former Soviet Union, which gives the critical treatment of the sources an intriguing personal slant. The book begins with a historical perspective on Rome’s relationship with the Greeks and the Jews from their earliest contacts through the period of expansion to the fall of the Roman republic, and further chapters are dedicated to the Principate of Augustus, Judaea’s ’triple administration’, the political and cultural vicissitudes of Greeks, Jews and Christians in the period between the death of Augustus and the accession of Nero, the beginnings of the Christian Church, and the conditions of the Jewish community in Rome.

Series: The Early Church Fathers Pope Leo I’s theological and political influence in his own time (440–461) and beyond far outweighs the amount of attention he has received in recent scholarship. That influence extended well beyond Rome to the Christian East through his contribution to preparations for the Council of Chalcedon and its outcome. For this he was alternately praised and vilified by the opposing parties at the Council. Leo made his views known through letters, and a vast number of homilies. While so many of these survive, Leo and his works have not been the subject of a major English-language socio-historical study in over fifty years. In this brief introduction to the life and works of this important leader of the early church, we gain a more accurate picture of the circumstances and pressures which were brought to bear on his pontificate. A brief introduction surveys the scanty sources which document Leo’s early life, and sets his pontificate in its historical context, as the Western Roman Empire went into serious decline, and Rome lost its former status as the western capital. Annotated translations of various excerpts of Leo’s letters and homilies are organized around four themes dealing with specific aspects of Leo’s activity as bishop of Rome: • Leo as spiritual adviser on the life of the faithful • Leo as opponent of heresy • the bishop of Rome as civic and ecclesiastical administrator • Leo and the primacy of Rome.

Early Christian Literature Christ and Culture in the Second and Third Centuries

Examining sources and case studies, this book explores early Christianity, how it was studied, how it is studied now, and how Judaeo-Christian values came to form the ideological bedrock of modern western culture. Case study chapters focus on important problems in the study of early Christianity including: • the book of Acts as a text revelatory of the social dynamics of cities and as a text about the inherent tensions in Hellenistic Judaism

• early Christianity and the Roman empire. Also including a comprehensive guide for students that lists major collections of literary and non-literary sources, major journals and series, and major textbooks, it is an excellent aid to the study of Christianity in history. Selected Contents: Introduction: How to Use This Book 1. What is Early Christianity and Why Does it Deserve Study? 2. Tradition and Revelation: The Historical Quest for Early Christianity 3.

The New Testament in its Ritual World Richard E. DeMaris, Valparaiso University, USA

This book argues that ritual was central to, and definitive for, early Christian life (as it is for all social orders), and explores the New Testament through a ritual lens. By grounding the exploration in ritual theory, Greco-Roman ritual life, and the material record of the ancient Mediterranean, it offers new and insightful perspectives on early Christian communities and their cultural environment. In doing justice to a central but slighted aspect of community life, it outlines an alternative approach to the New Testament, one that reveals what the lives of the first Christians were actually like.

Resurrecting Pompeii

Series: Routledge World Archaeology Ancient Turkey brings together in a coherent account the diverse and often fragmented evidence, both archaeological and textual, that forms the basis of our knowledge of the development of Anatolia from the earliest arrivals to the end of the Iron Age.

Much new material has recently been excavated and unlike Greece, Mesopotamia, and its other neighbours, Turkey has been poorly served in terms of comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible discussions of its ancient past. Ancient Turkey is a much needed resource for students and scholars, providing an up-to-date account of the widespread and extensive archaeological activity in Turkey. Covering the entire span before the Classical period, fully illustrated with over 160 images and written in lively prose, this text will be enjoyed anyone interested in the archaeology and early history of Turkey and the ancient Near East.

Related Title: Ancient Cities The Archaeology of Urban Life in the Ancient Near East and Egypt, Greece and Rome Charles Gates

Estelle Lazer, University of Sydney, Australia

Resurrecting Pompeii provides an in-depth study of a unique site from antiquity with information about a population who all died from the same known cause within a short period of time.

Pompeii has been continuously excavated and studied since 1748. Early scholars working in Pompeii and other sites associated with the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius were seduced by the wealth of artefacts and wall paintings yielded by the site. This meant that the less visually attractive evidence, such as human skeletal remains, were largely ignored. Recognizing the important contribution of the human skeletal evidence to the archaeology of Pompeii, Resurrecting Pompeii remedies that misdemeanour, and provides students of archaeology and history with an essential resource in the study of this fascinating historical event.

A Byzantine City State

Haris A. Kalligas

NEW

This lavishly illustrated book stands out in its field as the only book currently available on the best-preserved Byzantine city in the Peloponnese – Monemvasia. Haris A. Kalligas, a world authority on Monemvasia’s history and architecture, here explores the city’s foundation, its status as a powerful maritime centre of Byzantium, and its gradual decline after the fall of the Empire.

Using sources from all periods, along with original material based on research on the architectural and urban history of the city, Monemvasia is a comprehensive study of a unique city – a city within the Byzantine Empire which preserved institutions of municipal autonomy and self government originating from the Roman period.

More wide ranging, both geographically and chronologically, than any previous study, this well-illustrated book offers a new definition of Celtic art.

Tempering the much-adopted art-historical approach, D.W. Harding argues for a broader definition of Celtic art and views it within a much wider archaeological context. He re-asserts ancient Celtic identity after a decade of deconstruction in English-language archaeology. Harding makes the case that there were communities in Iron Age Europe that were identified historically as Celts, regarded themselves as Celtic, or who spoke Celtic languages, and that the art of these communities may reasonably be regarded as Celtic art. This study will be indispensable for those people wanting to take a fresh and innovative perspective on Celtic Art. 2007: 246x174: 336pp Hb: 978-0-415-35177-5: £70.00 eBook: 978-0-203-69853-2 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415351775

The Persian Empire A Corpus of Sources from the Achaemenid Period Amélie Kuhrt, University College London, UK

This lavish set of books contains the most complete collection of raw material for reconstructing the history of the Achaemenid Persian Empire to date.

Studying Achaemenid history has been difficult in the past because original sources include texts from hugely disparate origins, many different languages and various periods in history; the risk is to rely too heavily on biased and often inaccurate Greek and Roman sources. Amélie Kuhrt presents here an unprecedented collection of key texts to form a balanced representation of all aspects of the Empire, in translations from their original Greek, Old Persian, Akkadian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Egyptian or Latin. Kuhrt selects from classical writers, the Old Testament, royal inscriptions, administrative documents and Babylonian historical writing, as well as the evidence of monuments, artefacts and archaeological sites. All material is accompanied by a detailed introduction to the sources and guidelines to their interpretation. A truly monumental achievement, this collection will prove to be a major resource for any student of Persian history, from undergraduate level to the advanced scholar. 2007: 246x189: 1072pp Hb: 978-0-415-43628-1: £180.00 Pb: 978-0-415-55279-0: £34.99 eBook: 978-0-203-94489-9 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415552790

This 500,000 word reference work provides the most comprehensive general treatment yet available of the peoples and places of the regions commonly referred to as the ancient Near and Middle East – extending from the Aegean coast of Turkey in the west to the Indus river in the east. It contains some 1,500 entries on the kingdoms, countries, cities, and population groups of Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Iran and parts of Central Asia, from the Early Bronze Age to the end of the Persian empire. Five distinguished international scholars have collaborated with the author on the project. Detailed accounts are provided of the Near/Middle Eastern peoples and places known to us from historical records. Each of these entries includes specific references to translated passages from the relevant ancient texts. Numerous entries on archaeological sites contain accounts of their history of excavation, as well as more detailed descriptions of their chief features and their significance within the commercial, cultural, and political contexts of the regions to which they belonged. The book contains a range of illustrations, including twenty maps. It will serve as a major, indeed a unique, reference source for students as well as established scholars, both of the ancient Near Eastern as well as the Classical civilizations. It will also appeal to more general readers wishing to pursue in depth their interests in these civilizations. There is nothing comparable to it on the market today. Selected Contents: List of Maps.

Series: Routledge Classical Translations Series

Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his twenty-third book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world’s most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealth and opulence, powerful Persian women, the institution of the harem, kings and queens, eunuchs and secret plots. Presented here in English translation for the first time with commentaries, Ctesias offers a fascinating insight into Persia in the fifth century BC.

Damascus

2nd Edition

Ancient Egypt

A History

Anatomy of a Civilisation

Ross Burns

Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs and original plans, Damascus provides for the first time in English a compelling and unique exploration of a fascinating city.

Damascus traces the story of this colourful, significant and complex city through its physical development, from its obscure origins in the Bronze Age through the changing cavalcade of Aramaean, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Turkish and French rulers right up to the end of Ottoman control in 1918. Examining how every layer of history in Damascus has built precisely on top of its predecessors for at least three millennia, this book looks at the detailed, and largely untouched archaeological record of one of the oldest continuously inhabited capitals in the world. 2007: 234x156: 408pp Hb: 978-0-415-27105-9: £80.00 Pb: 978-0-415-41317-6: £21.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415413176

God’s Wife, God’s Servant

Barry J. Kemp

Completely revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, this new edition of Kemp’s popular text presents a compelling reassessment of what gave ancient Egypt its distinctive and enduring characteristics.

Ranging across Ancient Egyptian material culture, social and economic experiences, and the mindset of its people, the book also includes two new chapters exploring the last ten centuries of Ancient Egyptian civilization and who, in ethnic terms, the ancients were. Fully illustrated, the book draws on both ancient written materials and decades of excavation evidence, transforming our understanding of this remarkable civilization. Broad ranging yet impressively detailed, Kemp’s work is an indispensable text for all students of Ancient Egypt. 2005: 246x189: 448pp Hb: 978-0-415-23549-5: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-23550-1: £20.99 eBook: 978-0-203-46882-1 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415235501 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

The God’s Wife of Amun (ca.740–525 BC)

Karnak

Mariam F. Ayad, University of Memphis, USA

Evolution of a Temple

Elizabeth Blyth

Mariam F. Ayad explores how five women were elevated to a position of supreme religious authority. Drawing on a variety of textual, iconographic, and archaeological evidence, and containing fifty-one black and white and colour illustrations, the volume discusses this often neglected subject, placing the women within the broader context of the politically volatile, turbulent Seventh and Eighth centuries BCE.

The first publication in English to provide an in-depth examination including illustrations of the historical developments of the famous temple site Karnak, from its early shrine to the greatest state temple of Ancient Egypt’s mighty empire. 2006: 246x174: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-40486-0: £80.00 Pb: 978-0-415-40487-7: £27.99 eBook: 978-0-203-96837-6 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415404877

The Ancient Egyptian Family Kinship and Social Structure Troy D. Allen, Southern University, USA Series: African Studies Scholars in Egyptology have often debated the following question: was the ancient Egyptian society organized along patrilineal or matrilineal lines? In taking a fresh and innovative look at the ancient Egyptian family, Troy D. Allen attempts to solve this long-standing puzzle. Allen argues that the matrilineal nature of the ancient Egyptian family and social organization provides us with the key to understanding why and how ancient Egyptian women were able to rise to power, study medicine, and enjoy basic freedoms that did not emerge in Western Civilization until the twentieth century. More importantly, by examining the types of families that existed in ancient Egypt along with highlighting the ancient Egyptians’ kinship terms, we can place the ancient Egyptian civilization in the cultural context and incubator of Black Africa. This groundbreaking text is a must-read for Historians and those working in African Studies and Egyptology. Selected Contents: 1. The Egyptian Foundation 2. The Historical Context 3. The Family in Ancient Egyptian Society 4. Description of Ancient Egyptian Kinship Terms 5. Egypt and Other African Cultures 6. A Discussion of Cheikh Anta Diop’s Two Cradle Theory 7.

Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists The Greek Tradition and its Many Heirs Edited by Paul T. Keyser, IBM Watson Research Centre and Georgia Irby-Massie, College of William and Mary, USA

The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists is the first comprehensive English language work to provide a survey of all ancient natural science, from its beginnings through the end of Late Antiquity. A team of over 100 of the world’s experts in the field have compiled this Encyclopedia, including entries which are not mentioned in any other reference work – resulting in a unique and hugely ambitious resource which will prove indispensable for anyone seeking the details of the history of ancient science. Additional features include a Glossary, Gazetteer, and Time-Line. The Glossary explains many Greek (or Latin) terms difficult to translate, whilst the Gazetteer describes the many locales from which scientists came. The Time-Line shows the rapid rise in the practice of science in the fifth century BCE and rapid decline after Hadrian, due to the centralization of Roman power, with consequent loss of a context within which science could flourish. 2008: 246x174: 1072pp Hb: 978-0-415-34020-5: £200.00 eBook: 978-0-203-46273-7 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415340205

This is the first comprehensive guide and only substantial undergraduate level introduction to ancient Greek and Roman ethics.

Bestselling Backlist: Aristotle

Time in Antiquity explores the different perceptions of time from Classical antiquity, principally through the technology designed to measure, mark or tell time. The material discussed ranges from the sixth century BC in archaic Greece to the third century AD in the Roman Empire, and offers fascinating insights into ordinary people’s perceptions of time and time-keeping instruments.

Cosmic time is defined, as expressed through the movements of the sun, moon and stars in themselves or against the backdrop of the natural landscape. Robert Hannah subsequently discusses calendars, artificial schedules designed to mark time through the year, with particular attention being given to an analysis of the Antikythera Mechanism – the most complex, geared, astronomical instrument surviving from antiquity, and the object of exciting recent scientific studies. 2008: 234x156: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-33155-5: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-33156-2: £21.99 eBook: 978-0-203-39247-8 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415331562 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY
