Download or read book A History of the Roman World from 146 to 30 B C written by Frank Burr Marsh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Roman World from 146 to 30 B.C. (1963) analyses the workings of the Roman constitution alongside looking at the events in Roman history from the time of the Gracchi to the death of Antony. It shows that the supremacy of the senate was based on a well-organised political machine, and that the economic, social and political changes which resulted from the conquest of the Mediterranean world weakened the senate’s control without providing a substitute, and so led to the fall of the Republic.

Download or read book Rome Parthia and the Politics of Peace written by Jason M. Schlude and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an informed survey of the problematic relationship between the ancient empires of Rome and Parthia from c. 96/95 BCE to 224 CE. Schlude explores the rhythms of this relationship and invites its readers to reconsider the past and our relationship with it. Some have looked to this confrontation to help explain the roots of the long-lived conflict between the West and the Middle East. It is a reading symptomatic of most scholarship on the subject, which emphasizes fundamental incompatibility and bellicosity in Roman–Parthian relations. Rather than focusing on the relationship as a series of conflicts, Rome, Parthia, and the Politics of Peace responds to this common misconception by highlighting instead the more cooperative elements in the relationship and shows how a reconciliation of these two perspectives is possible. There was, in fact, a cyclical pattern in the Roman–Parthian interaction, where a reality of peace and collaboration became overshadowed by images of aggressive posturing projected by powerful Roman statesmen and emperors for a domestic population conditioned to expect conflict. The result was the eventual realization of these images by later Roman opportunists who, unsatisfied with imagined war, sought active conflict with Parthia. Rome, Parthia, and the Politics of Peace is a fascinating new study of these two superpowers that will be of interest not only to students of Rome and the Near East but also to anyone with an interest in diplomatic relations and conflict in the ancient world and today.

Download or read book Law and Religion in the Roman Republic written by Olga Tellegen-Couperus and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two hundred plus years, scholarship has admired Roman law for being the first autonomous legal science in history. This biased view has obscured the fact that, traditionally, law was closely connected to religion and remained so well into the Empire. Building on a variety of sources – epigraphic, legal, literary, and numismatic – this book discloses how law and religion shared the same patrons (magistrates and priests) and a common goal (to deal with life’s uncertainties), and how, from the third century B.C., they underwent a process of rationalization. Today, Roman law and religion deserve our admiration because together they supported and consolidated the growing power of Rome.

Download or read book The Great Sea written by David Abulafia and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Mediterranean Sea has been for millennia the place where religions, economies, and political systems met, clashed, influenced and absorbed one another. In this brilliant and expansive book, David Abulafia offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the sea itself: its practical importance for transport and sustenance; its dynamic role in the rise and fall of empires; and the remarkable cast of characters-sailors, merchants, migrants, pirates, pilgrims-who have crossed and re-crossed it. Ranging from prehistory to the 21st century, The Great Sea is above all a history of human interaction. Interweaving major political and naval developments with the ebb and flow of trade, Abulafia explores how commercial competition in the Mediterranean created both rivalries and partnerships, with merchants acting as intermediaries between cultures, trading goods that were as exotic on one side of the sea as they were commonplace on the other. He stresses the remarkable ability of Mediterranean cultures to uphold the civilizing ideal of convivencia, "living together." Now available in paperback, The Great Sea is the definitive account of perhaps the most vibrant theater of human interaction in history.
