The Deleuze-Lucretius Encounter (Plateaus - New Directions in Deleuze Studies)
by Ryan J Johnson
More than any other 20th-century philosopher, Deleuze considers himself an apprentice to the history of philosophy. But scholarship has ignored one of the more formative influences on Deleuze: Lucretian atomism. Deleuze's encounter with Lucretius sparked a way of thinking that resonates throughout all his writings: from immanent ontology to affirmative ethics, from dynamic materialism to the generation of thought itself. Filling a significant gap in Deleuze Studies, Ryan J. Johnson tells the s...
Botteghe Romane (Vita E Costumi Nel Mondo Romano Antico, #27)
by Grazia Grimaldi Bernardi
Dura-Europos, on the Syrian Euphrates, is one of the best preserved and most extensively excavated sites of the Roman world. A Hellenistic foundation later held by the Parthians and then the Romans, Dura had a Roman military garrison installed within its city walls before it was taken by the Sasanians in the mid-third century. The Inner Lives of Ancient Houses is the first study to consider the houses of the site as a whole. The houses were excavated by a team from Yale and the French Academy...
In the Germania Tacitus provides the most-detailed extant account of the German peoples in Antiquity. This edition is one of two which claim to be the first in English for over sixty years. It contains both text and translation and a brief commentary, with an appendix of illustrations of Domitianic coins. The popular facing page translation format is perfect for the student looking for accessibility in a text which for too long has been the preserve of German scholarship.
Die Studie verfolgt die Absicht, die bislang wissenschaftlich weitgehend 'stiefmutterlich' behandelten arkadischen Poleis Pheneos und Lousoi in ihrer historischen Entwicklung zu verfolgen. Dies geschieht auf der Basis von antiken literarischen und epigraphischen Quellen und archaologischen Evidenzen. Im Laufe dreier Surveys konnte der Bestand an archaologischen Zeugnissen vervielfacht werden. Eine Synopse des erschlossenen Quellenmaterials gestattet Einblicke in die politische Geschichte und gib...
Text and illustrations describe the layout, important buildings, and daily life of a typical Roman town.
Terence: The Mother-in-Law (Aris & Phillips Classical Texts)
At the first two presentations of this play in 165 and 160 BC, the prospect of rival attractions drove the actors prematurely off the stage, and it was only in September 160 that it was finally performed in full. For this reason the play has been seen as spanning virtually the whole of Terence's career, while the fact that the playwright refused to abandon it to oblivion indicates the importance which he himself attached to it. Though its plot is founded upon the conventional theme of mar...

Histoire d'Attila Et de Ses Successeurs, Jusqu'a l'Etablissement Des Hongrois En Europe, Vol. 1
by Amedee Thierry
This ground-breaking study is the first to employ modern international relations theory to place Roman militarism and expansion of power within the broader Mediterranean context of interstate anarchy. Arthur M. Eckstein challenges claims that Rome was an exceptionally warlike and aggressive state - not merely in modern but in ancient terms - by arguing that intense militarism and aggressiveness were common among all Mediterranean polities from ca 750 B.C. onwards. In his wide-ranging and masterf...
