Campania in the Flavian Poetic Imagination

Autor: Antony Augoustakis , R. Joy Littlewood

Número de Páginas: 349

The region of Campania with its fertility and volcanic landscape exercised great influence over the Roman cultural imagination. A hub of activity outside the city of Rome, the Bay of Naples was a place of otium, leisure and quiet, repose and literary productivity, and yet also a place of danger: the looming Vesuvius inspired both fear and awe in the region's inhabitants, while the Phlegraean Fields evoked the story of the gigantomachy and sulphurous lakes invited entry to the Underworld. For Flavian writers in particular, Campania became a locus for literary activity and geographical disaster when in 79 CE, the eruption of the volcano annihilated a great expanse of the region, burying under a mass of ash and lava the surrounding cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. In the aftermath of such tragedy the writers examined in this volume - Martial, Silius Italicus, Statius, and Valerius Flaccus - continued to live, work, and write about Campania, which emerges from their work as an alluring region held in the balance of luxury and peril.

The Oxford History of the Archaic Greek World

Autor: A G Leventis Senior Research Fellow Inaugural A G Leventis Professor Of Greek Culture Emeritus Paul Cartledge , Paul Cartledge , Paul Christesen , William R Kenan Professor Of Ancient Greek History Paul Christesen

Número de Páginas: 857

The ancient Greek world consisted of approximately 1,000 autonomous polities scattered across the Mediterranean basin, and each one developed its own, unique set of socio-political institutions and social practices. The Oxford History of the Archaic Greek World offers twenty-one detailed studies of key sites from across the Greek world between c. 750 and c. 480 BCE--a crucial period when much of what is now seen as distinctive about Greek culture emerged. All the studies in this seven-volume series use the same structure and methodology so that readers can easily compare a wide range of Greek communities. The series thus offers a new and unique resource for the study of ancient Greece that will transform how we study and think about a crucial era in ancient Greek history. Volume III contains detailed and up-to-date studies of Cumae and Pithecusae, The Cyclades, and Cyprus.

Collected Ancient Greek Novels

Autor: B. P. Reardon

Número de Páginas: 982

Prose fiction, although not always associated with classical antiquity, flourished in the early Roman Empire, not only in realistic Latin novels but also and indeed principally in the Greek ideal romance of love and adventure. Enormously popular in the Renaissance, these stories have been less familiar in later centuries. Translations of the Greek stories were not readily available in English before B.P. Reardon’s first appeared in 1989.Nine complete stories are included here as well as ten others, encompassing the whole range of classical themes: romance, travel, adventure, historical fiction, and comic parody. A foreword by J.R. Morgan examines the enormous impact this groundbreaking collection has had on our understanding of classical thought and our concept of the novel.

Medieval Italy

Autor: Katherine L. Jansen , Joanna Drell , Frances Andrews

Número de Páginas: 620

Medieval Italy gathers together an unparalleled selection of newly translated primary sources from the central and later Middle Ages, a period during which Italy was famous for its diverse cultural landscape of urban towers and fortified castles, the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare, and the vernacular poetry of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. The texts highlight the continuities with the medieval Latin West while simultaneously emphasizing the ways in which Italy was exceptional, particularly for its cities that drove Mediterranean trade, its new communal forms of government, the impact of the papacy's temporal claims on the central peninsula, and the richly textured religious life of the mainland and its islands. A unique feature of this volume is its incorporation of the southern part of the peninsula and Sicily—the glittering Norman court at Palermo, the multicultural emporium of the south, and the kingdoms of Frederick II—into a larger narrative of Italian history. Including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Lombard sources, the documents speak in ethnically and religiously differentiated voices, while providing wider chronological and geographical coverage than...

Les ports dans l’espace méditerranéen antique

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 377

La mise en place de plusieurs programmes de recherches et de fouilles programmées, associés au développement de l’archéologie préventive, renouvelle régulièrement nos connaissances relatives à l’archéologie portuaire. Les recherches sur les ports antiques de Méditerranée bénéficient depuis plusieurs années d’un intérêt certain, aussi bien en France que dans l’ensemble des pays du pourtour méditerranéen. Les actes du colloque international de Fréjus en 2018 abordent des thèmes portant sur les aménagements et les fonctions spécifiques de ces lieux d’échanges et sur les transformations du milieu naturel. Les procédés de construction, les architectures, les bâtiments, les fonctionnalités et les représentations graphiques des sujets traités dans cet ouvrage. La première partie est consacrée aux éléments structurels des ports antiques, la seconde, à l’environnement de ces ensembles envisagé par le biais des fonctions administratives, de l’artisanat ou encore des infrastructures liées au commerce et à la navigation. Les résultats présentés ici font appel aux fouilles de vestiges terrestres et submergés, à l’étude des techniques,...
