The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0801843006 . Very Small chip and a couple of scratches to DJ. One corner lightly bumped. ; All concerned with the topography and monuments of ancient Rome will welcome this splendid study, which brings up to date and in effect replaces the classic of 1929 by Samual Ball Platner and Thomas Ashby. Richardson catalogs all monuments and landmarks, major or minor, that are mentioned by ancient testimonia or have been discovered by modern archaeology, from Martial's Pear Tree to the Casa della Farnesina. Each entry presents a summary of the evidence and of problems associated with the evidence, as well as a brief guide to the ancient and modern bibliography. Familiarity with the Augustan XIV Regiones is assumed, but these are also explained (though not diagrammed). The introduction sketches the history of the study of Roman topography, a model of pellucid information. ; 496 pages . more information

Light rubbing to front cover. ; Critical editions of most classical authors are based on readings transmitted by medieval scholars that can be examined and collated. Modern editions of Petronius, on the other hand, are principally based on printed editions, most of them published in France during the sixteenth century. In this volume T. Wade Richardson considers the use made of the Petronius manuscripts then extant by seven French humanist editors for their various editions, commentaries, and notes. Some of the manuscripts they used may be equated with extant exemplars, which therefore serve as a good check on the quality of their readings. But as much as half of the text rests on the sixteenth-century witness alone. Through a broad and integrated study of the problems of the Petronius text the author attempts to unravel the tangled skein of humanist work on Petronius, to settle some of the old textual puzzles, and to solidify the text and recast the apparatus. Richardson also provides information on the codicology and palaeography of the texts and on the talents and habits of the scholars who created them. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume; 0.84 x 9.42 x 5.98 Inches; 187 pages . more information

Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; For the sixteen hundred years of the modern era, termed Christian, in the stretch from the Viking north to the Indian Ocean, the knowledge of medicines came more from the prodigious search effort of one man, Dioscorides (fl. Ca. A. D. 40- 80) , than from any other person. While he may not have been the first to discover most of the usages, he industriously collected them from various lands, codified the data, and organized it in a clear, concise, and rational fashion. For this reason he became the chief authority on pharmacy and one of the principal ones on medicine. Some time around the period A. D. 50-70, Dioscorides published a five-book study, to use his words, "on the preparation, properties, and testing of drugs. " The title was in Latin, De materia medica [The Materials of Medicine]. Like the vast majority of people born at the beginning of the Christian era, Dioscorides lived and died in relative obscurity. But, like only a few of his generation, through his writings he greatly influenced the lives of those who followed in history. His contributions to medicine were appreciated by almost all generations, but they also were misunderstood by them. This regard for Dioscorides has almost ended in our own twentieth century, however, and now few either appreciate or understand his achievements. His work is an assemblage of data about the medicinal properties of slightly more than 1,000 natural products drugs, mostly from the plant kingdom. He also included drugs derived from animals and minerals. According to one index compiled in the sixteenth century, Dioscorides related 4,740 medicinal usages for these drugs, involving 360 varieties of medicinal actions, such as stimulants, antiseptics, and anti-inflammatory agents. Before Dioscorides, medical writers prescribed drugs for the ill and injured, but the scale and thoroughness of Dioscorides' work superseded all previous efforts-this judged both by what is extant of pre-Christian-era works and by what is related by later writers about them. When one considers that the entire Hippocratic corpus listed only about 130 medicinal substances-and the Hippocratic works were by far the largest in volume of the extant medical writings before Dioscorides-then the scale of Dioscorides' work becomes clearer. Dioscorides had predecessors who wrote on drugs-he named many of them-but their works have mostly been lost. Judging by the evidence available to us of the contents of his predecessors' works, Dioscorides' writings were the largest and the most thorough. The generations who came after him used his work for the data base of their pharmacy and medicine. During periods when the knowledge of Greek was more restricted (as happened in the late Roman Empire and the early Middle Ages) , Dioscorides' work was translated into Latin, Arabic, and Armenian. It was read in an area that extended with few interruptions from the Viking North Atlantic to the Islamic parts bordering the Indian and Pacific oceans. Subsequent writers on the materials of medicine contributed their understanding of drugs within the frame, form, and context established by Dioscorides. ; History of Science Series; 298 pages . more information

Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage (PAwB) Band 7 ; 276 pages; Seit Urzeiten erfordert die Begegnung mit Fremden, insbesondere die Aufnahme von Fremden in die eigene Gesellschaft oder in das eigene Haus groae Aufmerksamkeit und Umsicht. Nie ist das Fremde etwas Beilaufiges. Immer hat es den Charakter des Besonderen. Wie war in den alten Gesellschaften der Kelten, der Agypter, der Griechen und der Romer der Umgang mit Fremden geregelt? Stand eher die Angst, die Xenophobie, im Vordergrund oder lasst sich ein bereits ritualisiertes Vertrautsein mit Jedermann, die Philoxenie, als Konstante nachweisen? Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen sind diesen Fragen nachgegangen: der Vor- und Fruhgeschichte (R. Echt), der Keltologie (H. Tristram), der Agyptologie (J. Zeidler), der Archaologie (B. Babler), der Klassischen Philologie (H.-G. Nesselrath, P. Riemer, K. Schopsdau, K. Sier, B. Zimmermann), der Alten Geschichte (M. Dreher, H.

University of Texas Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0292770987 . 1.06 x 9.23 x 6.24 Inches; 267 pages; In the late Roman Republic, acts of wrongdoing against individuals were prosecuted in private courts, while the iudicia publica (literally "public courts") tried cases that involved harm to the community as a whole. In this book, Andrew M. Riggsby thoroughly investigates the types of cases heard by the public courts to offer a provocative new understanding of what has been described as "crime" in the Roman Republic and to illuminate the inherently political nature of the Roman public courts. Through the lens of Cicero's forensic oratory, Riggsby examines the four major public offenses: ambitus (bribery of the electorate) , de sicariis et veneficiis (murder) , vis (riot) , and repetundae (extortion by provincial administrators). He persuasively argues that each of these offenses involves a violation of the proper relations between the state and the people, as interpreted by orators and juries. He concludes that in the late Roman Republic the only crimes were political crimes. . more information

Although the Greco-Roman world was centered on the Mediterranean, and classical scholarship often confined to these topographical boundaries marked by the pillars themselves, from c700 BC into the Roman period a series of explorers were to discover the entire Atlantic coast, north to Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic, and south into the African tropics. With the Carthaginians' own discoveries - including the British Isles, the coast of Africa and the Atlantic islands - the world of classical antiquity reached from Iceland to Vietnam. In this long-overdue project, Duane W Roller chronicles a detailed and unique account of these early pioneers and their discoveries and in doing so contributes a fascinating chapter to the history of exploration. . more information

Minor knock along back upper board else Fine. ; While appearing to be a conventional Festschrift in honour of a reputed Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, this book includes a unique collection of essays by a number of distinguished scholars, from an impressive number of countries, on current changes in the field of ancient philosophy (some might say resistance to change) as globalization profoundly affects local culture and the education of new generations seems likely to be transformed in significant ways. The essays have been organized largely in geographical order, starting with Professor Robinson's adopted country, Canada, and ending with the linguistic community (and geographical area) more strictly linked with what we have become accustomed to call "ancient philosophy": modern Greece. Through our journey, which takes us through the Americas, the Pacific area (Australia, Japan, China) , and Europe, readers will be pleased to discover how a widening interest in ancient philosophy has recently spread to a remarkable number of "new" countries, some of which have traditionally been thought of as on the margins of (if not strictly outside) the established scholarly community. Although this work is a tribute to a well-known and admired scholar, it is also meant to interest the entire scholarly community of ancient (primarily Greek) philosophy, philosophers and classicists alike: readers wanting to inform themselves about the status of ancient philosophy in a changing and multi-faceted world will find here very much to discover. ; Studies in Ancient Philosophy 6; 352 pages . more information
