Описание: Rome is `the city of seven hills`. This book explores what is at stake in this cliche and how it has helped countless people think about Rome holistically. Embracing evidence from Varro, Virgil and Claudian to sixteenth-century frescoes and nineteenth-century engravings, it proposes a new way of seeing the city.

Описание: Libraries of the ancient world have long held a place in the public imagination. Even in antiquity, the library at Alexandria was nearly legendary. Until now there has been relatively little research to discover what was inside these libraries, how the collections came into being and evolved, and who selected and maintained the holdings. In this engaging and meticulously researched study, George Houston examines a dozen specific book collections of Roman date in the first comprehensive attempt to answer these questions.
Through a careful analysis of the contents of the collections, Houston reveals the personalities and interests of their owners, shows how manuscripts were acquired, organized, and managed, and identifies the various purposes that libraries served. He takes up the life expectancy of manuscripts, the sizes of libraries, and dangers to books, as well as the physical objects within libraries from scribal equipment to works of art. The result is a clearer, more specific, and more detailed picture of ancient book collections and the elements of Roman libraries than has previously been possible.
Описание: Addressing the close connections between ancient divination and knowledge, this volume offers an interlinked and detailed set of case studies which examine the epistemic value and significance of divination in ancient Greek and Roman cultures.

Описание: The Roman Empire depended not just upon political, military or economic control, but also upon information management. Engaging with modern cultural theorists, this volume considers how the huge body of Roman technical literature debates relationships between the emperor and his subjects, and between imperial centre and periphery.
