Italy and the West: Comparative Issues in Romanization
edited by Simon Keay and Nicola Terrenato
Nineteen papers examining varied responses to Romanization, and how this affects our view of the development of the Roman Empire. The traditional view of Romanization is as the triumph of a superior and more advanced culture over primitive communities, brought about by military expansion and resulting in the creation of a uniform political and cultural entity. It is only in the last twenty years that the variety of responses that Romanization ...

The Lost Memoirs of Augustus
edited by Christopher Smith and Anton Powell
Augustus' Memoirs, written probably in the mid 20s BC, might have been one of the most revealing texts of Roman history - had they survived. Far longer than his surviving Res Gestae, the Memoirs seem to date from a period at which the wounds of Rome's civil wars were fresh, and the emperor's partisan past might be recalled with discomfort. Existing fragments and testimonia have suggested that the work was apologetic in ...

Anastasius I: Politics and Empire in the Late Roman World
edited by Fiona K Haarer
When Anastasius I came to the throne in 491, the Late Roman Empire was in severe difficulty. Internal instability, exacerbated by the dominance of the unpopular Isaurians in Constantinople, resulted in a struggling economy, hostile relations with Persia, the abandonment of Italy to a barbarian king, and doctrinal schisms. Anastasius, an elderly statesman with long experience as an administrator and economist, turned his attention first to the ...

Dying For The Gods: Human Sacrifice in Iron Age and Roman Europe
by Miranda Aldhouse Green
Human sacrifice is almost impossible to prove archaeologically and on the occasions when signs of a violent death can be detected, notably in the case of northern Europe's well preserved bogbodies, alternatives exist, including murder and execution. This highly readable and well-illustrated study, which focuses on the period from 600 BC to AD 400, considers the entire body of evidence from excavations across north western Europe to examine ...

An Archaeology of Images: Iconology and Cosmology in Iron Age and Roman Europe
by Miranda Aldhouse-Green
In dismissing rather passive approaches to material objects that view them as `special items' to be looked at or worshipped, Miranda Aldhouse-Green regards them as `active ideological or social tools' that interacted with and had meaning for their creators and users. In choosing an eclectic set of objects to support her arguments, she opens up a better understanding of the images of people and animals used in the Iron Age and Roman periods, 600 ...

Roman Empire in Context
Edited by Johann P. Arnason and Kurt A. Raaflaub
This compendium of discussions of the Roman Empire by leading ancient historians, sociologists and political scientists takes a comparative approach. Rome is viewed not merely on its own terms but as a city-state in the ancient Mediterranean; analogies are also drawn with the development of other states. The focus moves from the transition from republic to empire to late antiquity, and then to the heirs of the Roman empire, and more conceptual ...
