Today's main roads and rest areas follow the same communication routes used by the ancient Romans.

The company contributed to the recovery of the site in cooperation with the Archaeology Service for Southern Etruria and other archaeologists.

Harvard University Press & William Heinemann. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1982. Hardcover. 0674991575 . Book has shelfwear and minor rubbing. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 142; Vol. 1; 1.1 x 6.38 x 4.25 Inches; 512 pages; This volume contains the poetic fragments of the two illustrious singers of early sixth-century Lesbos: Sappho, the most famous woman poet of antiquity, whose main theme was love; and Alcaeus, poet of wine, war, and politics, and composer of short hymns to the gods. Also included are the principal testimonia, the ancients' reports on the lives and work of the two poets. The five volumes in the Loeb Classical Library edition of Greek Lyric contain the surviving fragments of solo and choral song. This poetry was not preserved in medieval manuscripts, and few complete poems remain. Later writers quoted from the poets, but only so much as suited their needs; these quotations are supplemented by papyrus texts found in Egypt, most of them badly damaged. The high quality of what remains makes us realise the enormity of our loss. Volume I presents Sappho and Alcaeus. . more information

University of Chicago Press. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0226735532 . Top corners very light rounded. ; 0.88 x 9.31 x 6.27 Inches; 268 pages; This wide-ranging book locates the origin of political science in the everyday world of ancient Greek life, thought, and culture. Arlene Saxonhouse contends that the Greeks, confronted by the puzzling diversity of the physical world, sought a force that would unify, constrain, and explain it. This drive toward unity did more than value the mind over the senses: it led the Greeks to play down the very real complexities--particularly regarding women, the family, and sexuality--in both their political and personal lives. Saxonhouse opens up fresh understandings of such issues as the Greeks' fear of the feminine and their attempts to ignore the demands that gender, reproduction, and the family inevitably make on the individual. . more information

Schriftenreihe Für Klassische Altertumswissenschaftband 79; 255 pages; Die Dichtung von Maximian (6. Jh. ) war jahrhundertelang hoch geschätzt, sie hinterließ Spuren im Werk von Chaucer, Dietrich von Niem, Albrecht von Eyb, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Milton, Foscolo. Die Interpretation (mit neuer Textredaktion und Übersetzung) zeigt, wie sich das heute fast unbekannte Werk über eine komplexe intertextuelle Inszenierung polemisch mit der neuen christlichen Werteordnung auseinandersetzt und dies mit der Frage nach der „römischen Identität“ verbindet. Mittel der Polemik ist die doppelbödige allegorische Rede vom „Altern“ mit ständigem intertextuellen Aufruf der „klassischen“ Dichtung. Ergänzend behandelt werden eine mit der Maximian-Überlieferung verbundene kleinere Gedichtsammlung und die Maximian-Rezeption mit der mittelalterlichen Imitatio Maximimiani. "S. S Buch ist ein bemerkenswerter, ja fulminanter Beitrag zur Maximian-Forschung, wahrscheinlich die wichtigste Studie seit langem."

C. , the Aitolian koinon, a federation of mountain cantons in west central Greece, expanded to incorporate many of the neighboring lands and peoples lying between the Adriatic and Aegean Seas. This new political configuration contributed to the development of modern systems of federal democracy based on proportional representation. Despite these institutional advances, the Aitolians and their polity are reviled in the ancient historical tradition, which views them as backward, semi-barbarous brigands. The Politics of Plunder is the first English-language book in over a century to examine the political history of the Aitolian koinon in its era of expansion. Joseph Scholten presents a chronological reconstruction of the koinon's course of expansion, synthesizing a number of recent studies covering Aitolian topography, epigraphy, and institutional development that help to compensate for deficiencies in the ancient narrative record. His study is the first to ask how a people and a polity so detested by their contemporaries succeeded in making such fundamental contributions to their regional political culture. Scholten's careful investigation charts a middle course that neither whitewashes the Aitolians nor credulously accepts the biased ancient tradition. This balanced approach provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the Aitolians and their koinon. Discussing the history of the ancient Aegean Greek world and the political, economic, and social history of the Hellenistic Era, this book will interest anyone concerned with those subjects or fascinated by the development of ancient Greek political institutions and theories, particularly federalism. ; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 2.72 x 9.31 x 7.94 Inches; 339 pages . more information
