Book excerpt: Uno Stato immenso, ecumene di popoli e tradizioni diversi: il rinnovamento politico e culturale dell'impero romano tra I e III secolo d. C. Il nuovo volume della Storia d'Europa e del Mediterraneo analizza il principato dall'età di Augusto fino all'avvento di Diocleziano, uno dei momenti di maggior solidità di Roma. L'indagine storica non può limitarsi e non si limita alle vicende che riguardano la corte, il senato, l'imperatore, ma dedica pari attenzione alla vita nelle province, al rapporto tra il centro del potere e i popoli limitrofi: la guerra (offensiva o difensiva, interna o esterna) e i processi di romanizzazione, ma anche gli scambi commerciali e interculturali e le strategie (energie e risorse sempre maggiori) necessarie per tenere insieme la potenza dei dominatori con il benessere dei dominati. Il rigore scientifico della ricostruzione storica non va a scapito della leggibilità e della chiarezza dell'opera destinata al vasto pubblico di lettori appassionati della materia.

Book excerpt: Le storie della Roma medio e tardorepubblicana presentano la vicenda dell'espansione romana dal Lazio al Mediterraneo. La prima parte del volume (Gli eventi) segue questa prospettiva tradizionale, delineando il corso degli avvenimenti e i principali protagonisti. La seconda parte (Gli spazi e i popoli) offre invece un panorama quanto più esteso possibile dei protagonisti per così dire "paralleli": gli imperi e i regni rivali, ma anche le tribù e le comunità minori apparentemente senza storia. Infine, la terza parte (Società e cultura) esamina le strutture della società romana e dei regni ellenistici, senza trascurare i principali aspetti dell'economia e del diritto.

Download or read book The Ancient Near East written by Mario Liverani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancient Near East reveals three millennia of history (c. 3500–500 bc) in a single work. Liverani draws upon over 25 years’ worth of experience and this personal odyssey has enabled him to retrace the history of the peoples of the Ancient Near East. The history of the Sumerians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians and more is meticulously detailed by one of the leading scholars of Assyriology. Utilizing research derived from the most recent archaeological finds, the text has been fully revised for this English edition and explores Liverani’s current thinking on the history of the Ancient Near East. The rich and varied illustrations for each historical period, augmented by new images for this edition, provide insights into the material and textual sources for the Ancient Near East. Many highlight the ingenuity and technological prowess of the peoples in the Ancient East. Never before available in English, The Ancient Near East represents one of the greatest books ever written on the subject and is a must read for students who will not have had the chance to explore the depth of Liverani’s scholarship.

Download or read book Etruscology written by Alessandro Naso and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 2173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook has two purposes: it is intended (1) as a handbook of Etruscology or Etruscan Studies, offering a state-of-the-art and comprehensive overview of the history of the discipline and its development, and (2) it serves as an authoritative reference work representing the current state of knowledge on Etruscan civilization. The organization of the volume reflects this dual purpose. The first part of the volume is dedicated to methodology and leading themes in current research, organized thematically, whereas the second part offers a diachronic account of Etruscan history, culture, religion, art & archaeology, and social and political relations and structures, as well as a systematic treatment of the topography of the Etruscan civilization and sphere of influence. 

Download or read book Ebla written by Paolo Matthiae and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ebla , Paolo Matthiae presents the results of 47 years of excavations at this fascinating site, providing a detailed account of Ebla’s history and archaeology. Ebla grew from a small Early Bronze Age settlement into an important trading and political centre, which endured until its final destruction in c. 1600 BC . The destruction of its royal palace c. 2300 BC was particularly significant as it preserved the city’s rich archives, offering a wealth of information on its history, economy, religion, administration, and daily life. The discovery of Ebla is a pivotal moment in the history of archaeological investigations of the twentieth century, and this book is the result of all the excavation campaigns at Tell Mardikh- Ebla from 1964 until 2010, when field operations stopped due to the war in Syria. Available for the first time in English, Ebla offers a complete account of one of the largest pre-classical urban centres by its discoverer, making it an essential resource for students of Ancient Near Eastern archaeology and history.

Download or read book Mistophoroi ex iberias written by Raimon Graells i Fabregat and published by Osanna Edizioni. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ITALIANO Le informazioni ricavate dalle fonti classiche presentano i mercenari ispanici come personaggi secondari, relegati ad alcune vicende siciliane e, apparentemente, senza particolari abilità al di fuori della forza guerriera. Nessuno ne ricorda attività in altre regioni, né il ritorno nella penisola iberica. Ciononostante, la ricerca ha riconosciuto loro un ruolo notevole, in un primo momento fondamentale per l’acculturazione delle società ispaniche, ma successivamente marginale. A partire da queste premesse, il libro presenta un’analisi critica di una serie di testimonianze archeologiche di carattere militare, nella penisola iberica e al di fuori di essa, allo scopo di ridefinire la figura del mistophoros ispanico. Lo studio considera diversi oggetti, dalla Corsica alla Grecia, per avvicinarsi alle modalità di interazione del mercenario ispanico e valutarne quindi il ritorno nella penisola iberica. Infine, sulla base di esempi concreti viene presentato l’impatto di questa esperienza mediterranea sulla trasformazione di alcune fra le loro armi.

Download or read book With Alexander in India and Central Asia written by Claudia Antonetti and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander conquered most parts of the Western World, but there is a great deal of controversy over his invasion of India, the least known of his campaigns. In BC 327 Alexander came to India, and tried to cross the Jhelum river for the invasion, but was then confronted by King Porus who ruled an area in what is now the Punjab. According to Indian history he was stopped by Porus at his entry into the country, but most of the world still believes that Alexander won the battle. Fearing the prospect of facing other large armies and exhausted by years of campaigning, Alexander's army mutinied at the Hyphasis River, refusing to march farther east. This river thus marks the easternmost extent of Alexander's conquests. Twelve papers in this volume examine aspects of Alexander’s Indian campaign, the relationship between him and his generals, the potential to use Indian sources, and evidence for the influence of policies of Alexander in neighboring areas such as Iran and Russia.

Download or read book Consumerism in the Ancient World written by Justin St. P. Walsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek pottery was exported around the ancient world in vast quantities over a period of several centuries. This book focuses on the Greek pottery consumed by people in the western Mediterranean and trans-Alpine Europe from 800-300 BCE, attempting to understand the distribution of vases, and particularly the reasons why people who were not Greek decided to acquire them. This new approach includes discussion of the ways in which objects take on different meanings in new contexts, the linkages between the consumption of goods and identity construction, and the utility of objects for signaling positive information about their owners to their community. The study includes a database of almost 24,000 artifacts from more than 230 sites in Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Germany. This data was mapped and analyzed using geostatistical techniques to reveal different patterns of consumption in different places and at different times. The development of the new approaches explored in this book has resulted in a shift away from reliance on the preserved fragments of ancient Greek authors’ descriptions of western Europe, remains of monumental buildings, and major artworks, and toward investigation of social life and more prosaic forms of material culture.
