Описание:
The period of relative peace enjoyed by the Roman Empire in its first two centuries ended with the Marcomannic Wars. The following centuries saw near-constant warfare, which brought new challenges for the Roman Navy. It was now not just patrolling the Mediterranean but also fighting against invaders with real naval skill, such as Genseric and his Vandals.
With research from newly discovered shipwrecks and archaeological finds as well as the rich contemporary source material, this study examines the equipment and tactics used by the navy and the battles they fought in this tumultuous period, which includes the fall of Rome and the resurgence of the Eastern Empire under Justinian the Great. Using spectacular illustrations, carefully researched ship profiles, and maps, this third volume in Osprey's Roman Warships miniseries charts the ultimate evolution of the Roman fleet in one of the most fascinating periods of its history.
Описание: The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world, it did not. This title argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified.

Описание: Roman portrait statues, famed for their individuality, repeatedly employed the same body forms. This book examines the `Large Herculaneum Woman` statue type, a draped female body common in the second century CE and surviving in about two hundred examples, to demonstrate how sameness helped to communicate a woman`s social identity.

Описание:
Claudius became emperor after the assassination of Caligula, and was deified by his successor Nero in AD 54. Opinions of him have varied greatly over succeeding centuries, but he has mostly been caricatured as a reluctant emperor, hampered by a speech impediment, who preferred reading to ruling.
Barbara Levick's authoritative study reassesses the reign of Claudius, examining his political objectives and activities within the constitutional, political, social and economic development of Rome. Out of Levick's critical scrutiny of the literary, archaeological and epigraphic sources emerges a different Claudius - an intelligent politician, ruthlessly determined to secure his position as ruler.
Now updated to take account of recent scholarship, Claudius remains essential reading for students and historians of the early Roman Empire.
