Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively new translation of Strabo’s complete Geography—an encyclopedic guide to the ancient world of the first century CE—connecting it with the world of the twenty-first century Strabo’s Geography is an encyclopedic description of the ancient world as it appeared to a contemporary observer in the early Roman empire. Information about taming elephants, collecting saffron, producing asphalt, and practicing yoga is found alongside accounts of prostitution, volcanic activity, religious festivals, and obscure eastern dynasties—all set against the shifting backdrop of political power in the first century CE. Traveling around the Mediterranean, Strabo gathered knowledge of places and people, supplementing his firsthand experiences with an immense amount of reading to create a sweeping chronicle that attempts to answer the implicit questions “Who are we?” and “Where do we come from?” Sarah Pothecary’s new translation of Strabo’s complete Geography makes this important work more accessible, relevant, and enjoyable than ever before. Conveying the informal, lively, and almost journalistic style of Strabo’s Greek, this translation connects the ancient and modern worlds by providing modern names and maps for places mentioned in the text, a generous page layout, and marginal notes, allowing readers to appreciate Strabo’s work directly and immediately. The result mimics what Strabo was doing two thousand years ago—relating the rapidly changing present of his original readers to their own ancient past. A remarkably modern translation of a revealing window on the ancient world, this is essential reading for anyone interested in how we look at both antiquity and the world today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Strabo explores the works of Strabo of Amasia (c. 64 BCE – c. CE 24), a Greek author writing at the prime of Roman expansion and political empowerment. While his earlier historiographical composition is almost entirely lost, his major opus of the Geography includes an encyclopaedic look at the entire world known at the time: numerous ethnographic, topographic, historical, mythological, botanical, and zoological details, and much more. This volume offers various insights to the literary and historical context of the man and his world. The Companion, in twenty-eight chapters written by an international group of scholars, examines several aspects of Strabo’s personality, the political and scholarly environment in which he was active, his choices as an author, and his ideas of history and geography. This selection of ongoing Strabonian studies is an invaluable resource not just for students and scholars of Strabo himself, but also for anyone interested in ancient geography and in the world of the early Roman Empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitruvius survives 1 to this day not only as the author of a Magno treatise on architecture, one of the few scientific and historical documents referring to the art of construction that has survived the shipwreck of classical treatises, but also as an outstanding representative of the art of build during the Roman Empire in the time of Augustus. We could rightly add that his legacy transcends the boundaries of time and enshrines him as the teacher of generations, a tradition that has persisted through the centuries. His work not only provides a valuable compendium of architectural knowledge and design principles, but also serves as a lasting testament to the aesthetic and functional ideals that have influenced architecture throughout history. The applicability of his 1 Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (Latin Marcus Vitruvius Pollio; c. 80 BC-70 BC-15 BC) was a Roman architect, writer, engineer, and treatise writer of the 1st century BC. c. Página 1 de 791 Life and work of Marcus Vitruvius principles throughout the ages underscores the universality and temporality of his teachings. “The work itself also provides the only clues to its dating: based on information about individual Roman buildings, the beginning of the composition can be dated to 33 BC. BC. Thus, Vitruvius stands not only as an exponent of classical antiquity, but also as an enduring guide in the art of construction, whose teachings continue to inspire architects and builders throughout the ages. His legacy encompasses not only architectural technique, but also the very essence of the art of building, transcending temporal barriers and enriching our understanding of creativity and engineering in construction. The era of Vitruvius and the transition from the Roman Republic to the Empire. The birth name of the man who would later be known as Augustus was Gaius Octavius (Gaius Octavius). According to Suetonius, he initially bore the nickname Turinus, although there is no additional documentation of this. Cassius Dion mentions the name Caipias as another nickname for Augustus, although it has been little noticed. After being adopted Página 2 de 791 Life and work of Marcus Vitruvius testamentarily by Caesar in 44 BC, he officially adopted the name C. Iulius Caesar, or in its full form with filiation, Gaius Iulius C. f. Caesar, 44 BC The young Octavian became Julius Caesar's heir after his assassination in 44 BC. C. A year later, in 43 BC. c. A year later, in 43 BC, Octavian, along with Mark Antony and Lepidus, established a military dictatorship known as the Second Triumvirate. In his role as triumvir, Octavian exercised control over Rome and most of its provinces, adopting an autocratic approach. He secured consular power after the deaths of the consuls Aulus Hirtius and Gaius Vibius Pansa, in addition to being re-elected each year. Over time, the triumvirate began to fall apart due to the individual ambitions of its members: Lepidus was forced into exile, and Mark Antony ended up committing suicide after his defeat at the naval battle of Actium by Octavian's fleet, commanded by Agrippa, in 31 BC Vitruvius lived in a time characterized by constant political turmoil. After long decades of internal conflict, Rome was undergoing the transformation from a republic to what we now recognize as the Roman Empire. In this period of Página 3 de 791 Life and work of Marcus Vitruvius change, new social strata emerged, accessing positions of power to which they previously did not have access. With the dissolution of the Second Triumvirate, Octavian undertook the restoration of republican principles, reestablishing governmental power in the Senate. However, in practice, he retained significant autocratic power. It took several years to determine the precise structure by which a republican entity could be led by a single ruler, and the end result was known as the Principality. Unlike the Roman dictatorship of the Republic, which figures such as Caesar and Sulla had held in the past, the imperial title was not considered an office of the same nature. Augustus formally rejected this title after Roman society "begged him to assume the dictatorship."
