London: Quartet Books, 1995 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. "Anthony Blond pens portraits of the Emperors of Ancient Rome that are revealing and, at times, hilarious. Julius Caesar, founder of the dynasty, shows up as an arrogant charmer and a swank; Augustus, his great-nephew, as a lonely little man who uses lifts in his shoes; Tiberius, his son-in-law and stepson, as a mean-spirited but honourable public servant; Caligula, doubly royal, as a fairy-tale black princeps, loved by his servants; Claudius, his uncle, as the most scheming and murderous of all and the only undivided heterosexual; Nero, his stepson and great-great-grandson of Augustus, as an architectural visionary who is anti-"human"- blood-sports. The Emperors themselves are set against their background in a series of essays on the Roman army, sexual mores, life in Rome, the institution of slavery, Roman law and lawyers (notably Cicero), the Herods and the Jews. In films like Ben Hur and Quo Vadis, and novels like…

London: Penguin, 1976 Book. Illus. by Photographs By Werner Forman. Fine. Trade Paperback. Reprint. "Michael Grant traces the political and economic history of Pompeii and Herculaneum - from the Greek settlement through Roman domination - with special attention to the rebuilding of the cities after their decimation by earthquake in A.D. 62. In subsequent chapters, Mr. Grant describes life in these two cities in a way that is at once scholarly and readable, focusing on architecture and artistic decoration of town and country houses, fora and public buildings, as well as religious practices, philosophical perspectives and cultural interests. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Werner Forman, this book is valuable both as a guide for the visitor to Pompeii and Herculaneum and as a comprehensive description of one of the most celebrated events in the history of man." 240p. illus. bibliography. index (news clipping about Vesuvius laid in ).

Description:
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015 Book. As New. Soft cover. No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity, but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed, this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths. The vast record of Constantine's administration reveals a government careful in its exercise of power but capable of ruthless, even savage, actions. Constantine executed (or drove to suicide) his father-in-law, two brothers-in-law, his eldest son, and his once beloved wife. An unparalleled general throughout his life, planning a major assault on the Sassanian Empire in Persia even on his deathbed.
