Alexander the Great and Propaganda

Philostratus: Interpreters and Interpretation

Edited by Elizabeth Baynham and John Walsh Alexander the Great was one of the most pivotal personages of the ancient Greco-Roman world. He conquered much of the Persian Empire and his reign impacted upon peoples and cultures from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indus River, and influenced what we know today as the Hellenistic Age. There is a vast bibliography of modern scholarly literature on the Macedonian conqueror yet there is no volume which has a specialist focus on the use of ‘propaganda’ in the era of Alexander. This book brings together eleven essays from leading scholars on Alexander, all of which focus on themes or issues relating to the use of propaganda at Alexander’s court, as well as the courts of his Successors.

Graeme Miles Series: Image, Text, and Culture in Classical Antiquity This volume examines the ways in which the labyrinthine Corpus Philostrateum represents and interrogates the nature of interpretation. Taking ‘interpretation’ broadly as the production of meaning from objects that are considered to bear some less than obvious significance, it examines the very different interpreter figures presented: Apollonius of Tyana as interpreter of omens, dreams and art-works; an unnamed Vinetender and the dead Protesilaus as interpreters of heroes; and the sophist who emotively describes a gallery full of paintings, depicting in the process both the techniques of educated viewing and the various errors and illusions into which a viewer can fall.

Ethnicity and Identity in Herodotus

Security in Roman Times

Edited by Thomas Figueira and Carmen Soares

Rome, Italy and the Emperors

While Herodotus is recognized as the "father of History", he also deserves acknowledgement as the father of ethnography, inasmuch as he first consciously grappled with the phenomena of cultural differentiation. Strikingly, he first also proclaimed that human groups were distinct through their allegiance to different systems of nomoi, that is, ‘ways of life’ or ‘laws’. For him, the nature of this normative allegiance was a central focus in historiē, the investigation of humanity in its variation. The ethnē ‘peoples’ who inhabited his world were often juxtaposed with the Greeks in an exploration that provides the archetypal exposition of what was or has become "European" or "Western".

Cecilia Ricci Using literary, epigraphic, numismatic and iconographic sources this book investigates the safety devices that were in place for the protection of the emperor and the city of Rome in the imperial age. In the aftermath of the civil wars Augustus continued to provide for his physical safety in the same way as in the old Republic while, at the same time, overturning the taboo of armed men in the city. This volume does not only focus on Rome but also the Italian peninsula where the security of the emperor as he travelled to his country residences required advance planning and implementation.

Latin Lyric and Elegiac Poetry

Studies on Greek Law, Oratory and Comedy

An Anthology of New Translations

Edited by Authored by Douglas M. MacDowell, Ilias Arnaoutoglou, Konstantinos Kapparis and Dimos Spatharas

Edited by Diane J. Rayor and William W. Batstone st

Since the publication of the 1 edition in 1995, there have been new commentaries and monographs on Latin poetry and the individual authors, together with a vigorous exploration and application of new readings, ones that explore with great sophistication and depth gender, psychoanalysis, intertextuality, and politics. In addition, while most of the translations remain accurate and vibrant, the Catullus translations quickly became outdated. The quirky language and perhaps overly playful style of these Catullus translations seem to many classicists to veer too far or even miss the mark of Catullus’ Latin.

Douglas M. MacDowell (1931 – 2010) was a scholar of international renown and the articles included here cover a significant area of classical scholarship, discussing Athenian law, law-making and legal procedure, Old Comedy, comedy and law, politics and lexicography. All of these articles, published between 1959 and 2010, bear the characteristic marks of his scholarship: precision, balanced judgment, brevity and deep learning. The volume includes a biography of MacDowell by Christopher Carey based on the testimony of his closest colleagues and personal friends, which was presented to the British Academy.

The Culture of Animals in Antiquity A Sourcebook with Commentaries Sian Lewis and Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones The Culture of Animals in Antiquity provides students and researchers with well-chosen and clearly-presented ancient sources in translation, some well-known and others undoubtedly unfamiliar, but all central to the part played by animals in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. It covers a broad span of time, from the sacred animals of dynastic Egypt to the imagery of the lamb in early Christianity. This volume is divided into two parts: sources relating to 80 animal species, each entry a short introduction outlining key themes, and chapters treating the evidence thematically, adding interpretive flesh to the texts and drawing together themes from the individual entries.

The Poetics of Failure in Ancient Greece Stamatia Dova Examining attitudes towards failure, loss and inadequacy as they appear in Greek literature from the eighth to the fourth century BCE, this book incorporates two major themes: failure in mythological narratives and in historical accounts. These two areas are further divided into narratives of heroic and divine failure and accounts of individual and collective failure. Myth and history are examined under the same lens while mythological narratives are also placed in the historical context of the literary works in which they appear. Greek epic, for example, the cultural product of an honor-shame society, emphasizes success and the attainment of goals achieved in the context of intense trials; without shying away from human or divine deficiencies, epic poetry prefers to glorify the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Analysis of key texts identifies the intertextual discourses that reveal epic attitudes towards failure, such as Agamemnon's inadequacies in the Iliad.

Thinking the Greeks A Volume in Honour of James M. Redfield Edited by Lillian Doherty and Bruce King Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies This volume, from an international and interdisciplinary cohort of contributors, offers independent and prospective reflections upon central texts and upon the relation of social theory and comparative method to the study of archaic and classical Greek literature. It is divided into three parts, on Homer, Plato and the genre of Socratic dialogue, and reception and transmission, while also participating in an on-going exploration of the dialectical relationships between literary genres and social forms. Drawing on work in anthropology, linguistics, economics and sociology, this volume offers ground-breaking new perspectives on the study of Greek literature.

Farmers and Agriculture in the Roman Economy

Palmyra

David B. Hollander

A History

This monograph uses literary, archaeological, and comparative evidence to examine how farmers - from smallholders to the owners of large estates - bought and sold goods and services, lent and borrowed money, and cooperated or competed with one another. After considering the environmental and demographic context of Italian agriculture, the author explores three interrelated questions: what goods and services did farmers purchase; how did farmers acquire the money with which to make those purchases; and what factors drove farmers’ economic decisions. This book provides a portrait of the economic world of the Roman farmer in late Republican and early Imperial Italy.

Michael Sommer Series: Cities of the Ancient World Palmyra: A History examines Palmyra, the city in the Syrian oasis of Tadmur, from its beginnings in the Bronze Age, through the classical period and its discovery and excavation, to the present day. It aims at reconstructing Palmyra’s past from literary accounts – classical and post-classical – as well as material evidence of all kinds: inscriptions, coins, art and of course the remains of Palmyra’s monumental architecture.

Image and Reality of Roman Imperial Power in the Third Century AD

Poisons in the Roman World

Impact of War

Keeping in mind the ambiguity, the complexity of the lore, the paranoia and the anecdotal, through original research Cheryl Golden uncovers evidence that the threat of murder and accidental death by poison created serious legal concerns for the Roman World. Poisons aided farmers, soldiers, doctors and homemakers, were a legal concern in the market place, in family law and for the Roman constitution. Examining evidence from the history of Rome’s transition from Republic to Empire, this study offers a fresh approach to the investigation of one of the most important transitional periods in western history.

Lukas de Blois Series: Routledge Studies in Ancient History This volume focuses on the sources of Roman imperial power in the period AD 193-284. More specifically, it examines the impact of war on the foundations of the economic, political, military, and ideological power of third-century Roman emperors. This detailed study offers insight into this complex and transformative period in Roman history.

Nero Caesar Augustus

Prophets, Prophecy, and Oracles in the Roman Empire

Emperor of Rome David Shotter, University of Lancaster, UK Propelled to power by the age of 17 by an ambitious mother, self-indulgent to the point of criminality, inadequate, paranoid and the perpetrator of heinous crimes including matricide and fratricide, and deposed and killed by 31, Nero is one of Rome's most infamous Emperors. But has history treated him fairly? Or is the popular view of Nero as a capricious and depraved individual a travesty of the truth and a gross injustice to Rome's fifth emperor? This new biography will look at Nero's life with fresh eyes. While showing the man 'warts and all', it also caste a critical eye on the 'libels' which were perpetrated on him, such as claiming he was a madman, many of which were most probably made up to suit the needs of the Flavians, who had overthrown his dynasty.

Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman Cultures Leslie Kelly Series: Routledge Focus on Classical Studies This book surveys the uses and function of prophecy, prophets, and oracles among Jews, Christians, and pagans in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire and explores how prophecy and prophetic texts functioned as a common language that enabled religious discourse to develop between these groups. It shows that each of these cultures believed that it was in prophetic texts and prophetic utterances that they could find the surest proof of their religious beliefs and a strong confirmation of their group identity.

Roman Law

The Spatial Turn and the Archaeology of Roman Italy

An Introduction Rafael Domingo This textbook offers an accessible introduction to Roman law for students of any legal tradition. It is based on more than twenty-five years’ experience teaching Roman law, and its clear and concise style, as well as the historical introduction which contextualises the Roman legal system, means that it is ideally suited to students who have no familiarity with Latin or knowledge of Roman history. More than a compilation of legal facts, the book tries to capture the defining characteristics and principal achievements of Roman legal culture through a millennium of development.

New Perspectives in the Study of Urban Space Edited by Dunia Filippi Series: Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism How should we study urban spaces today? Which approaches and methodologies are truly innovative and heuristic? The spatial turn – the idea that space models society - has brought forward new analytical imperatives regarding space as an interrelationship between physical and social networks of meaning. As a consequence, sociological studies on ancient Roman cities are flourishing, demonstrating a new set of approaches that have developed separately from "traditional" historical and topographical analyses. This book, with chapters by internationally known specialists, represents a convergence of these different approaches in order to propose a new interpretative model.

The Getae

Travel in the Roman Mind

Changing Landscapes of Colonization, Imperialism, and Memory

Edited by Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA and Grant Parker Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World

Edited by Ioana Oltean, University of Exeter, UK, Ligia C Ruscu, University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania and Dan Ruscu, University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies Together the Dacians and the Getae were the creators of the largest unified power of ancient Europe outside of the Roman Empire, yet each was colonized and integrated into the Roman imperial system differently. Unlike the short-lived but intense Roman experience of the Dacians, the Getae met first Greek colonists, followed by Roman integration in stages over many years. This volume utilizes high-resolution GIS mapping, remote sensing data, and aerial and satellite imagery to demonstrate changes to the landscape and to reconsider human settlement in antiquity. It provides a fresh investigation of the evolution of urbanization and developments in local economy, as well as long-term changes in material culture, social behavior, and identity over more than a thousand years. The Getae offers a realistic appreciation of the character of Roman military occupation and participation of provincial subjects in the Roman imperial system.

The Greek and Roman Trophy

Villas and Values

From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power

The Cultural and Competitive Lives of Rome’s Elites

Lauren Kinnee Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Hannah Platts Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

In The Greek and Roman Trophy: From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power, Kinnee presents the first monographic treatment of ancient trophies in sixty years. The study spans Archaic Greece through the Augustan Principate. Kinnee aims to create a holistic view of this complex monument-type by breaking down boundaries between the study of art history, philology, the history of warfare, and the anthropology of religion and magic. Ultimately, the kaleidoscopic picture that emerges is of an ad hoc anthropomorphic Greek talisman that gradually developed into a sophisticated, Augustan sculptural or architectural statement of power.

This book examines luxury villas of mainland Italy from the 2 century BC to the 2 century AD, and considers their influence on elite Roman society and upper class ‘belonging’. It presents an innovative approach to understanding villas and their role in constructing social perceptions of elite self-identity and what it actually was to be ‘elite’ in the Roman world. It argues for a Roman elite self-identity comprised of multiple strands in conflict and constant evolution over time, which is visible in the villa, which itself displayed significant diversity in terms of structure, function and attendant lifestyle.

Antioch

Managing Emotion in Byzantium

A History

Passions, Affects and Imaginings

Andrea De Giorgi and Asa Eger Series: Cities of the Ancient World

Edited by Margaret Mullett and Susan Harvey Series: Studies in Byzantine Cultural History

Antioch provides a history of this fascinating and historically significant city from its foundation under Seleucus I Nicator to the present day, tracing it through its possession by Rome, the coming of Christianity under Byzantium, the rise of Islam, its history during the Crusades and the coming of the Malmuks and Ottomans. Through an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes archaeological, architectural, and urban studies in combination with textual evidence, this book elucidates the transformations of Antioch and by examining its shifts in identity, and comments on its role and function both with regard to its population and to larger political, administrative, and economic systems.

This volume – the first to look at the constellation of Byzantine emotions - originates at a symposium at Dumbarton Oaks where scholars from around the globe looked at issues such as power, gender, rhetoric, or asceticism in Byzantine society through the lens of a single emotion or cluster of emotions. Contributors focus not only on the construction of emotions with respect to perception and cognition but also explore how emotions were communicated and exchanged across broad (multi)linguistic, political and social boundaries. Priorities are twofold: to arrive at an understanding of what the Byzantines thought of as emotions and to comprehend how theory shaped their appraisal of reality.

Aristotle’s Political Philosophy in its Historical Context

Music Therapy in Ancient Greece

A New Translation and Commentary on Politics Books 5 and 6 Andrew Lintott This book offers new translations of Aristotle’s Politics 5 and 6, accompanied by an introduction and commentary, targeted at historians and those who like to read political science in the context in which it was produced. Philosophical analysis remains essential and there is no intention to detract from the books as political theory, but the focus of this thvolume is the text as a crucial element in the discourse of 4 century Greece, and the conflict throughout the Greek world between democracy, oligarchy, and the rise of the Macedonian monarchy.

Antonietta Provenza Series: Medicine and the Body in Antiquity The evidence of the ancient Greeks’ interest in music therapy is scattered through Greek literature from its earliest beginnings. Music was considered to be a magic remedy yet the idea of a connection between musical structures (harmonia, rhythms) and the human constitution had already begun to emerge in the Archaic age and was well established by the second half of the fifth century BCE. Plato is the first source of the notion of musical ethos, according to which music can affect human beings because of its affinities with the soul.

Aakash Singh Rathore, Visiting Professor, Centre for Philosophy, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, and Director, International Research Network for Religion and Democracy This original and stimulating study of Plato's Socratic dialogues rereads and reinterprets Plato's writings in terms of their dialogical or dramatic form. Taking inspiration from Umberto Eco, Jacques Derrida, and Leo Strauss, the book presents the Socratic dialogues as labyrinthine texts replete with sophistries and lies that mask behind them important philosophical and political conspiracies. Presenting innovative readings of major texts — Plato's Parmenides, Republic, Symposium and Meno as also Homer's Odyssey — this work synthesises philological, political, historical, and philosophical research into a classical text-centred study that is at once of urgent contemporary relevance.

Pushing the Boundaries of Historia

The Birth of the Athenian Community

Edited by Mary English and Lee Fratantuono Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies This collection of essays, written by philologists, historians, epigraphers, palaeographers, archaeologists, and art historians, brings together the best of old and new traditions of classical study, from senior emeritus faculty with established records of scholarly productivity, to the newest generation of classics and archaeology professors. The twenty-one essays included in this volume cover a wide range of subjects in Greek and Roman antiquity and its reception. While the topics may seem disparate and the authors’ approaches and methodologies diverse, each paper offers something of a précis of the state of its subject at a transformative moment in the history of classical scholarship.

From Solon to Cleisthenes Sviatoslav Dmitriev The Birth of the Athenian Community offers a new interpretation of the origins and advancement of the city of Athens. Instead of approaching Athenian history traditionally, as a linear progression, this book presents it as a gradually rising complexity of a multidimensional social fabric comprised of distinct but closely interwoven kinship, legal, and political communities. Their evolving relationship determined the course of Athenian history, including Cleisthenes’ establishment of demokratia and Pericles’ political reforms, among other important events. Similar developments in other parts of the Greek world suggest that Athens’ evolution, while much better documented, was not unique.

Sister-Queens in the High Hellenistic Period

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Cognitive Theory

Kleopatra Thea and Kleopatra III Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones and Alex McAuley Series: Routledge Studies in Ancient History

Edited by Peter Meineck

In the late 160s BC, two sisters who would shape the course of Egypt, Syria, and the Hellenistic World as a whole were born into the Ptolemaic dynasty. Initially pawns in dynastic struggles between their parents and uncle, over the course of the following years they became fierce rulers in their own right through a combination of marriage strategy, courtly influence, popular appeal, military and financial strength, as well as manipulation and murder. This volume considers the lives of these two sister-queens in relation to each other as well as their broader historical context, and situates their careers in relation to their Egyptian, Near-Eastern, and Biblical precedents.

This interdisciplinary volume examines the application of cognitive theory to the study of the classical world, across several interrelated areas including literary theory, archaeology, art history, religious studies, linguistics, historiography, drama and philosophy. Each of the 8 parts explains and evaluates cognitive approaches to a particular area of classical study, and is concluded by a response from an expert in each field considering the potential for wider applications. This ground-breaking work is the first to organize the field, allowing both scholars and students access to the methodologies, bibliographies and techniques of the cognitive sciences as they relate to classics.

Sound and the Ancient Senses Edited by Shane Butler, University of Bristol, UK and Sarah Nooter Series: The Senses in Antiquity Sound and the Ancient Senses makes a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of Sense Studies and, in particular, its application to the ancient world. Sound has important relevance to scholars of ancient literature and of its well-known sonorities but Sound and the Ancient Senses goes beyond this traditional topic to engage with sound in a wide range of aspects and areas of classical culture. It offers a new set of tools and perspectives for approaching the key question of the “orality” of ancient culture and the relation of oral performance and transmission to the circulation and uses of written texts.

ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY Dummy text to keep placeholder

Theophrastus' Characters A New Introduction Sonia Pertsinidis Series: Routledge Focus on Classical Studies This book offers and introduction to Characters, a series of thirty brief sketches of character types drawn from urban life in ancient Athens written by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher of the fourth century BCE who directed Aristotle's philosophical school for thirty-five years after Aristotle's death. Pertsinidis' lively, original and scholarly monograph offers an original and detailed analysis of the purpose of the character sketches in light of ethics, comedy and rhetoric, and includes an introduction to Theophrastus’ intellectual milieu, his intellectual interests and his scientific methodology.

Reconstructing Philodemus A Hellenistic Philosopher in the Roman World Sonya Wurster Hellenistic philosophy, much more so than its classical predecessors, was concerned with the application of ethics in everyday life, regarding ethics as a means to achieving happiness. Epicurus and his followers argued that if four basic principles were followed then freedom from fear and anxiety could be achieved, and thereby happiness. The four key doctrines underpin Philodemus of Gadara’s (c. 110 BCE to c. 40 or 35 BCE) doctrines, and he wrote on a wide range of topics, including death, rhetoric, music, poetry, logic, theology, epistemology, the history of philosophy and ethics. Although Philodemus’ works are fragmentary, new technologies have allowed revised editions to be compiled. This volume utilizes these revised editions to explore three areas of Epicurean doctrine that are clarified by Philodemus’ works: Epicurean theories of knowledge; their theory of emotions; and their views on friendship.

Ancient Greek Philosophy and Religion

Taurus of Beirut

Tor Shaul

The Other Side of Middle Platonism

This book introduces inexpert readers to significant aspects of the history of ancient Greek philosophical engagements with religious matters. It surveys and explores philosophical inquiries into the nature of the divine, and into its relation to the world and its human inhabitants. In doing so, it also considers ways in which philosophers’ investigations of such religious matters are fundamentally connected to their inquiries in other domains. It thus does not merely expound theological systems, but introduces and explores the ways in which different philosophical thinkers approach the undertaking of raising and pursuing theological and religious questions.

A Social-Political History of Monotheism

Basil the Great: Faith, Mission and Diplomacy in the Shaping of Christian Doctrine

From Judah to the Byzantines Jeremiah Cataldo

Nicu Dumitrașcu

Beginning with the disruptive and devastating historical events that shook early Israelite culture and ending with the seemingly victorious emergence of Christianity under the Byzantine Empire, this work highlights critical junctures marking the path from political frustration to imperial ideology. Monotheism, Cataldo argues, was not an enlightened form of religion; rather, it was a cultic response to effluent anxieties pouring out from under the crushing weight of successive empires. This provocative work is a valuable tool for anyone with an interest in the development of early Christianity alongside empires and cultures.

Regarded as one of the three hierarchs or pillars of orthodoxy along with Gregory of Nazianzus and John Chrysostom, Basil is a key figure in the formative process of Christianity in the fourth century. While his role in establishing Trinitarian terminology, as well as his function in shaping monasticism, his social thought and even his contribution to the evolution of liturgical forms have been the focus of research for many years, there are few studies which centre on his political thought. Basil played a major role in the political and religious life between Cappadocia and Armenia and was a key figure in the tumultuous relationship between Church and State in Late Antiquity.

Between Jews and Heretics Marta González González Series: Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World Achilles presents the different episodes in the life of this hero in chronological order, based primarily on the Greek sources. On the other hand, this study employs the hero Achilles to reflect on various issues, all of them crucial for historians of the Greek world: what it meant to be and become a man in ancient Greece, what a hero’s aretê consisted of, how the Greeks represented the concepts of friendship and camaraderie, what moved them to revenge or reconciliation, what hopes they harboured as they faced their fate, how they imagined something as difficult to conceive of as a human sacrifice, and how, in sum, they developed their ideas about the afterlife and hero cult.

Refiguring Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho Matthijs den Dulk Series: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World This volume offers a new interpretation of Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho (c. 160 CE), which is the oldest preserved literary dialogue between a Jew and a Christian and a key text for understanding the development of early Judaism and Christianity. This study argues that whereas scholarship has routinely cast the Dialogue in terms of "Christianity vs. Judaism," its rhetorical aims and discursive strategies are considerably more complex, because Justin is advocating his particular form of Christianity in constant negotiation with rival forms of Christianity.

Losing One's Head in the Ancient Near East

Beyond Orality

Interpretation and Meaning of Decapitation

Performance and the Composition of Biblical Poetry

Rita Dolce Series: Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East

Jacqueline Vayntrub, Bank details updated SF 919273 30.9.2016 DB Series: The Ancient Word

This volume explores representations of decapitation in both texts and images in a trans-chronological perspective that aims to highlight a number of conditions, relations and meanings of this specific act in times of war, recognizing the severed head as a "coveted object" for the many individuals who interact with it and determine its fate. With examples drawn from Anatolia, Syria and Mesopotamia between the 3rd and 1st millennium BC, from prehistory to the Neo-Assyrian period, this fascinating study is of interest not only to art historians, but also anyone interested in the dynamics of war in the ancient world.

This book examines the modern scholarly history of theorizing biblical poetry and draws out an inherent tension between theories of biblical poetry that assume an oral genesis, and the written nature of our evidence. The divide between this imagined orality and the concrete materiality of the texts is usually bridged by problematic evolutionary theories of the development of literature from oral to written.

A Story of YHWH

Discovering Babylon

Cultural Translation and Subversive Reception through Israelite History

Rannfrid Thelle Series: Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East

Shawn W. Flynn Series: Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East What is the story of the Israelites’ god YHWH? While the bible narrates an all-powerful deity beginning at creation, the history of YHWH’s origins and development is much more compelling. Flynn draws on expressions of YHWHism from textual and material data and sets them within the historical crises that motivated them, to propose a cohesive story of YHWH from the Early Iron Age to Persian Yehud. Taking a comparative approach, the volume situates YHWH’s development in the cultural matrix of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Levant, and offers a diverse and inclusive chronological assessment that gathers into one narrative the changes, developments, and the motivations for changes to YHWH’s divinity.

Baal and the Politics of Poetry

Judaism and the Economy

Aaron Tugendhaft Series: The Ancient Word

A Sourcebook

Baal and the Politics of Poetry provides a thoroughly new interpretation of the Ugaritic Baal Cycle that simultaneously inaugurates an innovative approach to studying ancient Near Eastern literature within the political context of its production. The book argues that the poem, written in the last decades of the Bronze Age, takes aim at the reigning political-theological norms of its day and uses the depiction of a divine world to educate its audience about the nature of human politics. By attuning ourselves to the specific historical context of this one poem, we can develop more nuanced appreciation of how poetry, politics, and religion have interacted—in antiquity, and

This is an edited collection of about fifty texts from Jewish literature, from antiquity to the present, relating to economic issues such as wealth, poverty, inequality, charity, and the charging of interest. These texts are almost all fresh translations into English from their original languages, many appearing in English for the first time. Each is prefaced by an introduction and the volume as a whole is introduced by a synthetic essay. These texts, read together and in different combinations, provide a new lens for thinking about the economy and make the case that religion and values have a place in our own economic thinking. The volume will be most useful to educators and their students as well as to clergy.

Masculinities in the Court Tales of Daniel

The Babylonian Astronomical Compendium MUL.APIN

Advancing Gender Studies in the Hebrew Bible Brian Charles DiPalma Series: Routledge Studies in the Biblical World

Hermann Hunger and John Steele, Brown University, USA Series: Scientific Writings from the Ancient and Medieval World

In this volume, Brian Charles DiPalma examines masculinities in the court tales of Daniel as a test case for issues facing the burgeoning area of gender studies in the Hebrew Bible. In doing so, it both analyses how the court tales of Daniel portray the characters in terms of configurations of masculinity in their socio-historical context, and also seeks to advance gender studies in the Hebrew Bible on theoretical, methodological, and political grounds.

MUL.APIN, written sometime before the 8 century BC, was the most widely copied astronomical text in ancient Mesopotamia: a compendium including information such as star lists, descriptions of planetary phases, mathematical schemes for the length of day and night, a discussion of the luni-solar calendar and rules for intercalation, and a short collection of celestial omens. This book contains an introductory essay, followed by a new edition of the text and a facing-page transliteration and English translation. Finally, the book contains a new and detailed commentary on the text. This is a fascinating study, and an important resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy.

On the Edge of the Empires Northern Mesopotamia in the Roman Period

The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory

Rocco Palermo, Federico II University of Naples, Italy Series: Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East

John P. Nielsen Series: Studies in the History of the Ancient Near East

In antiquity, North Mesopotamia was the centre of the confrontation between different imperial entities. Rome, the Parthians, the Sasanians and the nomads of the region were all agents of a complex series of dynamics that impacted on the area: Rome found the most serious threat to its territorial control in the East in these lands, and the political turmoil of the region also affected daily life. This volume explores this mixed culture, unique in the Roman territories, combining literary and historical, and archaeological and environmental evidence in order to explore this important frontier between east and west.

The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar reconstructs the history of Nebuchadnezzar I’s rule and, drawing upon theoretical treatments of historical and collective memory, examines how stories of his reign were intentionally utilized by later generations of Babylonian scholars and priests to create an historical memory that projected their collective identity and st reflected Marduk’s rise to the place of primacy within the Babylonian pantheon in the 1 millennium BCE. It also explores how this historical memory was employed by the urban elite in discourses of power.

Marianne Bjelland Kartzow Series: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World This book adds new knowledge to the ongoing discussion of slavery in early Christian discourse. Kartzow argues that the complex tension between metaphor and social reality in early Christian discourse is undertheorized. A metaphor can be so much more than an innocent thought figure, since it involves bodies, relationships, life stories, and memory in complex ways. This book rethinks the potential meaning of the slavery metaphor in early Christian texts, by use of a variety of texts, read with a whole set of theoretical tools, taken from metaphor theory and intersectional gender studies, in particular.

Jewish Glass and Christian Stone

The Captive Monk

A Materialist Mapping of the "Parting of the Ways"

Slavery and Asceticism in Early Syrian Christianity

Eric C. Smith Series: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World

Chris L. de Wet, University of South Africa Series: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World

This book takes up the question of the divergence of Judaism and Christianity in terms of material--the stuff made, used, and left behind by the persons that lived in and between these religions as they were developing. Considering the glass, clay, stone, paint, vellum, and papyrus of ancient Jews and Christians, this book maps the "parting" in new ways, and argues for a greater role for material and materialism in our reconstructions of the past.

This volume explores the role of slavery and captivity in the formation of Syrian ascetical theology and practice. It argues that the realities of captivity and enslavement, prevalent in the region from at least the middle of the third century, gave rise to an expression of ascetic practice as enslavement. In the literary sources of this period, a curious figure emerges, namely that of the captive and enslaved monk. The topos of the captive monk is a consequence of the combination of a potent doulology in scripture and in the early theological thought of the region along with the "Saracen" threat of real bondage.

Reconceiving Religious Conflict

The Cult of St Anna in Byzantium

New Views from the Formative Centuries of Christianity

Eirini Panou Series: Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies

Edited by Wendy Mayer and Chris L. de Wet, University of South Africa Series: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World This book deconstructs instances of religious conflict within the formative centuries of Christianity, the first six centuries CE. It explores the theoretical foundations of religious conflict; the dynamics of religious conflict within the context of persecution and martyrdom; the social and moral intersections that undergird the phenomenon of religious conflict; and the relationship between religious conflict and religious identity. It is unique in that it does not solely focus on religious violence, as it is physically manifested, but on religious conflict (and tolerance), looking too at dynamics of religious discourse and practice that often precede and accompany overt religious violence.

This is the first undertaking in Byzantine scholarship to focus on St Anna, the mother of the Virgin Mary. St Anna is a completely underexposed figure in Byzantine studies, and the examination of the formation, establishment, and promotion of her veneration offers a fresh insights to the way saints were manipulated in Byzantium. By studying various aspects of Byzantine culture such as topography, visual evidence and material culture, social history, theology and a variety of texts such as homilies, hagiography and histories, this work highlights the importance of examining and using different types of material for the study of the cult of Byzantine saints.

The Hymnographic Book of Tropologion

The Umayyad World

Sources, Liturgy and Chant Repertory

Edited by Andrew Marsham, The University of Edinburgh, UK Series: Routledge Worlds

Svetlana Kujumdzieva The Tropologion is considered the earliest known extant chant book from the early Christian world which was in use until the twelfth century. The study of this book is still in its infancy. It has generally been believed that the book has survived in Georgian translation under the name ‘ladgari’ but similar books have been discovered in Greek, Syriac and Armenian. All the copies clearly show that the spread and the use of the book were much greater than we had previously assumed and the Georgian ladgari is only one of its many versions.

The Umayyad World captures the new wave of scholarship on the formative era of Islam and helps shape fresh avenues of inquiry. The volume integrates early Islamic history into wider global history, through the growing recognition that the first century or so of Islam (. 610–. 750 CE) belongs in many respects to a ‘long late antiquity’. With this recognition in mind new approaches to thinking about the nature of the earliest Muslim Empire are explored, often in a comparative world historical perspective, as well as examining the development of the religion of Islam itself.

The Roman Art of War in Late Antiquity: The Strategikon of the Emperor Maurice

Writing About Byzantium

Volume II: Textual and Historical Studies Philip R. Rance Series: Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies The Strategikon of the Emperor Maurice, written towards the end of the 6th century, is a key text in the history of late Roman and Byzantine warfare. It stands midway between the classical genre of tactica, dating back to the 4th century BC, and the subsequent Byzantine military corpus, which it profoundly influenced. Of unprecedented size and scope, the Strategikon discusses every aspect of contemporary land warfare, and includes ethnographic excursuses on the late Roman Empire’s varied enemies. Volume I is a new English translation and detailed commentary on the work, and Volume II provides studies on the text’s structure, composition, language, sources and literary antecedents.

The History of Niketas Choniates Theresa Urbainczyk Series: Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Studies Niketas Choniates was in Constantinople when it was burnt and looted by the soldiers of the Fourth Crusade and he wrote a history which has always been the mainstay for anyone wishing to learn about the Comnene dynasty and the Byzantine Empire of the twelfth century. Yet it is a very difficult and puzzling text and, given its significance, is understudied. This examination is an introduction to the history of Niketas, and to the author’s views of why this period saw such catastrophe for the Byzantines. It looks at Niketas’ thoughts about history-writing and the emperors, about the presence of God in man’s affairs, and the historian’s attitudes to the women of the imperial family.

The Syriac World Edited by Daniel King Series: Routledge Worlds This volume surveys the "Syriac world", the culture that grew up among the Syriac-speaking communities from the 2nd century CE and which continues to exist and flourish today, both in its original homeland of Syria and Mesopotamia, and also in the worldwide diaspora of Syriac-speaking communities. It examines the religion, the material, visual and literary cultures, history and social structures of this diverse community, as well as Syriac interactions with their neighbours ancient and modern.

Athenian Law and Society

Forensic Narratives in Athenian Courts

Konstantinos A. Kapparis

Edited by Mike Edwards and Dimos Spatharas

The study of law is the study of the society which created it. Societies create laws in order to safeguard values which are important to them, and this is why the study of the laws of a society sheds light upon the ideals and values which generated them. In democratic Athens the law was both a product of democracy and a force for safeguarding democratic practices. In recent years books have been written on Athenian law, and on Athenian society, but never a monograph fully investigating the links between the two in all important aspects of public and private life.

This volume offers the first systematic approach to ancient forensic storytelling. Understanding narratives as an integral part of forensic speakers’ argumentation, a substantial number of contributions emphasize the ways in which individual orators manipulate their stories by way of substantiating their argumentation: readers will find in this volume discussion of storytelling in Isaeus, Lysias, Demosthenes, and Apollodorus. A number of papers address broader questions: the relationship between stories and the law, the use of stories as a means of involving jurors in speakers’ conceptualization of individual cases, or the use of stories as a medium of emotional manipulation.

Empathy and Compassion in the Medicine and Literature of Greece and Rome

Imagining the Afterlife in the Ancient World

Amber J. Porter Series: Medicine and the Body in Antiquity

Few studies have examined, with a general perspective, the ideas about the afterlife current in the ancient world. By drawing together current research from international scholars on archaeological evidence for afterlife belief, chiefly from funerary sites, together with studies of works of poetic and philosophical literature, this book provides a broader overview of ancient ideas about the afterlife than has so far been available. The book explores these key questions through a series of wide-ranging studies, taking in ghosts, magic, dreams, cosmology, apotheosis and the mutilation of corpses along the way.

The Greco-Roman medical texts of the first and second centuries AD, as well as the other contemporary genres of the moral philosophy and the ancient Greek novel, show an understanding of the emotions of empathy and compassion. The physician Aretaeus demonstrates in his writing a high level of empathy and compassion towards his patients. Soranus and Rufus, two other contemporary medical writers, display a compassionate awareness of patients’ emotions, beliefs and attitudes. The physicians Caelius Aurelianus and Scribonius Largus demonstrate an even greater awareness of the importance of compassion. They connect the emotion and the concept of medical ethics. The Hippocratic Corpus and Galen of Pergamon do not appear to have had the same level of interest in empathy and compassion. Plutarch demonstrates a compassionate concern that extends not just to humans but also to animals.

Julia Augusta

Movement, Sensory Spaces, and Religious Experience in Roman Antiquity

Images of Rome's First Empress on Coins of the Roman Empire Tracene Harvey Livia (58 BC - AD 29), wife of the first emperor Augustus and mother of his successor Tiberius, became the first Roman woman whose image held a substantial place on coins of the Roman Empire. While the appearance of Roman women on coins was not entirely revolutionary, having roughly coincided with the introduction of images of powerful Roman statesmen to coins in the late 40s BC, the degree to which Livia came to be commemorated on coins in the provinces and in Rome was unprecedented. This book examines the socio-political impact of the coin images of Livia within the broader context of representations of her in other visual media such as sculpture and cameos, and reveals the detailed visual language that was developed for the promotion of Livia as the predominant female in the Roman imperial family.

Landscapes of Dread in Classical Antiquity Negative Emotion in Natural and Constructed Spaces Edited by Debbie Felton Research in cultural geography and landscape studies has increasingly drawn our attention to the importance of spaces and their contexts: how spaces are described by language, what spaces are used for by individuals and communities, and how language, use, and the passage of time invest spaces with meaning. Little scholarship has thus far been generated by the locus terribilis, the space associated with negative emotions; these chapters focus on emotions such as anxiety, fear, terror, and especially dread in many types of space, and cover art, Greek and Roman epic and lyric poetry, tragedy, the novel, and the short story.

Shoes, Slippers, and Sandals

The Iconography of the Satyr in Greece and Rome

Feet and Footwear in Classical Antiquity

Allison Surtees

Edited by Sadie Pickup and Sally Waite Ancient dress and adornment have received significant consideration in recent scholarship, yet detailed study of footwear is still limited. Much as other clothing, sandals, slippers and boots are functional, sometimes indicative of status, but equally decorative. When represented, footwear often forms an important metaphor in both literary and visual narrative. This volume brings together the research of a number of scholars working on feet and footwear across several disciplines; it provides new perspectives on the meaning attributed to footwear in both material and written contexts, not only for its wearers, but also implied through its use, in the varied situations it appears.

The satyr is a ubiquitous figure in ancient art and this work explores the changing iconography of the satyr, from his inception in the visual record in archaic Athens to his usage in the Roman imperial period, using the Pouring Satyr statue type as a specific example. The Pouring Satyr type first appeared in Athens in the fourth century BCE; although a full-scale statue from this period does not survive, the figural type is found on several contemporary Athenian relief sculptures. The statue type is then recreated in a number of copies from the Roman period. Traditionally, this statue type is discussed as a work of the fourth century sculptor Praxiteles, and examined only within his oeuvre, but this volume instead focuses on the display and context of the works themselves, in Greece, Rome, and in the modern museum. This allows for exploration of the very different meanings one statue can have depending on its context.

Space, Movement, and Visibility in the Pompeian House Michael A. Anderson Series: Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism While Pompeii and its houses have been subjected to important spatial syntax analyses, no study has sought either to develop implementations of these ideas that approach the Pompeian domestic environment at a finer scale of analysis, or that integrate the role of visibility within the Pompeian house in tandem with movement hierarchy. This volume therefore represents a contribution both to spatial syntax studies through the extension of the theories and methodologies at a refined scale and to Pompeian studies and Roman archaeology in general, revealing the pivotal and reflexive role of architectural space in the activities of Pompeian daily life. Through the application of geographical information systems (GIS)-based study of Pompeian domestic space, it is possible to examine movement and visibility in the domestic landscape at a very fine scale of resolution.

The Imagination of Rome's Foundation Myths Jeanne Pansard-Besson and Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols Series: Image, Text, and Culture in Classical Antiquity Looking at the different ways in which Rome's founding myths were visualised all through the Roman Empire, this volume presents a cultural and visual history of ancient Rome. From public spaces such as the Roman Forum with displays of colossal sculptures and marble reliefs to the most intimate settings (such as wall-paintings in a bedroom or a tomb) the book explores how people negotiated their personal and political identities with reference to the stories of Rome’s mythic origins. The book follows the surviving visual evidence through more than six centuries of Roman history, from the first century BCE to the sixth century CE, and from the Empire’s centre to its extreme periphery.

Addressing central yet largely unexplored issues relating to sport and the complex processes of identity construction in the ancient Greek world this volume is the first systematic study of its kind and demonstrates the continuous centrality of sport in identity construction.

Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw The human body has been under-researched in the field of Minoan archaeology and understandings about the Cretan Bronze Age have often relied on data not directly related to the human body, such as pottery and architecture. While methodologically important, these data offer an incomplete picture of Minoan societies. Furthermore, current modernist research categories (such as osteoarchaeological, microglyptic and linguistic studies) create artificial divisions which impede a more holistic approach to the human condition in Minoan Crete. What is currently lacking is a contribution which recasts the human body as a central archaeological informant, in its various manifestations such as human remains, frescoes and figurines. This book redresses this imbalance by combining analysis of biological and represented bodies from Minoan Crete. As such, this book is neither an exhaustive account of people in Bronze Age Crete nor a treatise on the themes it explores.

The Walls of Pompeii and the Image of the City Ivo van der Graaff Pompeii preserves the most intact fortifications surviving since antiquity. Throughout its 600-year history the city rebuilt its defences three times and continuously invested in their maintenance and development. Each intervention was a pivotal event in the history of the city, signalling dramatic shifts in its urban, social, and architectural framework. Fortifications, whether in terms of money, resources, or the manpower required to build them, represent by far the most copious investment in any ancient city. Although their military character is undisputed, the role of fortifications in the political, social, and urban development of a city remains unclear. This book adopts a new approach, placing fortifications at the centre of the historical development of the city and arguing that Pompeii’s walls constituted a dynamic and ideologically freighted monument central to the image of the city and its identity.
