Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from a broad range of documentation this book vividly characterizes eleven royal women who are brought visually to life through photographs of over 300 ancient coins and through the author's own illustrations. Spanning the period from the death of Julius Caesar in 44BC to the third century AD, and with an epilogue surveying empresses of later eras, the author's compelling biographies reveal their remarkable contributions towards the legacy of Imperial Rome. Examining the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of emperors, the study includes: a pregnant Roman princess who saves a Roman army through an act of personal heroism three third-century empresses who rule the most powerful state on Earth, presiding over unprecedented social and political reform an empress, though revered by her husband, is immortalized in history for infidelity and corruption by students of her greatest enemy. Jasper Burns paints portraits of these exceptional women that are colourful, sympathetic, and above all profoundly human. This book will be highly valuable to numismatists, students and scholars of Roman history or women’s studies.

Download or read book Die Reichspr gung des Kaisers Traianus 98 117 written by Bernhard Woytek and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mit dieser zweibandigen Arbeit wird ein umfassendes neues Zitierwerk fur die Munzpragung des romischen Kaisers Traianus (98-117) vorgelegt. Es verzeichnet in einem systematisch aufgebauten Katalogteil, der auf der Basis von ca. 24.000 Einzelbelegen erstellt ist, in bisher nicht gekannter Prazision alle Typen und Varianten traianischer Reichsmunzen. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Systematisierung der vielfaltigen Bustendarstellungen des kaiserlichen Munzbildnisses sowie der relativen und absoluten Chronologie der Munzpragung - vor allem in der Rekonstruktion des Prageablaufs fur die so problematische Periode des funften Kaiserconsulats (103-111): Fur diese Zeitspanne wurde auch eine neue Analyse der numismatischen Portraittypologie Traians durchgefuhrt, die im Kontext der Entwicklung des rundplastischen Kaiserbildes diskutiert wird. Das Buch enthalt neben dem Katalog, der auch ausfuhrliche Materialnachweise und Angaben zur relativen Haufigkeit der einzelnen Typen und Varianten bieten kompakte Pragetabellen zur raschen Orientierung sowie einen Einleitungsteil zu allen relevanten historischen, finanzgeschichtlichen, numismatischen und doxographischen Aspekten. Ein umfangreicher Kommentarteil erlautert die gewahlte Ordnung; mehrere Indices und Konkordanzen zur bisher vorliegenden Zitierliteratur sowie ein umfassender Bildteil von 164 Tafeln machen das Werk in Hinkunft zu einem unentbehrlichen Arbeitsinstrument.
Download or read book Hadrian written by Anthony R Birley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadrian's reign (AD 117-138) was a watershed in the history of the Roman Empire. Hadrian abandoned his predecessor Trajan's eastern conquests - Mesopotamia and Armenia - trimmed down the lands beyond the lower Danube, and constructed new demarcation lines in Germany, North Africa, and most famously Hadrian's Wall in Britain, to delimit the empire. The emperor Hadrian, a strange and baffling figure to his contemporaries, had a many-sided personality. Insatiably ambitious, and a passionate Philhellene, he promoted the 'Greek Renaissance' extravagantly. But his attempt to Hellenize the Jews, including the outlawing of circumcision, had disastrous consequences, and his 'Greek' love of the beautiful Bithynian boy Antinous ended in tragedy. No comprehensive account of Hadrian's life and reign has been attempted for over seventy years. In Hadrian: The Restless Emperor, Anthony Birley brings together the new evidence from inscriptions and papyri, and up-to-date and in-depth examination of the work of other scholars on aspects of Hadrian's reign and policies such as the Jewish war, the coinage, Hadrian's building programme in Rome, Athens and Tivoli, and his relationship with his favourite, Antinous, to provide a thorough and fascinating account of the private and public life of a man who, though hated when he died, left an indelible mark on the Roman Empire.
