Late Roman Spain and Its Cities
Winner of an Honorable Mention in the Association of American Publishers’ Professional and Scholarly Publishing Awards in Classics and Archeology The history of Spain in late antiquity offers important insights into the dissolution of the western Roman empire and the emergence of medieval Europe. Nonetheless, scholarship on Spain in this period has lagged behind that on other Roman provinces. Michael Kulikowski draws on the most recent archeological and literary evidence to integrate late antique Spain into the broader history of the Roman empire, providing a definitive narrative and analytical account of the Iberian peninsula from A.D. 300 to 600. Kulikowski begins with a concise introduc...
Bishops under Threat
The late antique and the early medieval periods witnessed the flourishing of bishops in the West as the main articulators of social life. This influential position exposed them to several threats, both political and religious. Researchers have generally addressed violence, rebellions or conflicts to study the dynamics related to secular powers during these periods. They haven’t paid similar attention, however, to those analogous contexts that had bishops as protagonists. This book proposes an approach to bishops as threatened subjects in the late antique and early medieval West. In particular, the volume pursues three main goals. Firstly, it aims to identify the different types of threats ...

Agustín Jiménez
Mexico City-born photographer Agustín Jiménez (1901-1974) was at the center of his country's flourishing avant-garde, which emerged in the 1920's when international photographers like Edward Weston and Tina Modotti began to travel extensively there and relationships between the local and foreign artists led to aesthetic breakthroughs on both sides. Jiménez is known for crafting an indigenous version of Romantic Pictorialism very akin to Weston's. Jiménez also collaborated closely with the Mexican illustrated press throughout the 1920s and 3̓0s, and in the latter decade became involved with the country's burgeoning motion picture industry--first as a still photographer and then as a cinematographer, in collaboration with such seminal figures as Sergei Eisenstein, Adolfo Best Maugard and Fernando de Fuentes. This volume contains a substantial selection of Jiménez's photographs and provides a deserved overview.
Nertobriga Concordia Ivlia. De oppidum céltico a municipium romano
Hace más de ciento cincuenta años que los estudios sobre el patrimonio arqueológico abandonaron sus ámbitos primigenios, el coleccionismo y el anticuarismo, por su faceta actual, netamente científica, a caballo entre las ciencias humanas y positivas. Este cambio se sintetizó en la principal diferencia de sus objetivos: de admirar y contemplar la belleza de las antigüedades se pasó a explicarlas y describirlas y, a través de ellas, a comprender las sociedades del pasado. Los importantes vestigios arqueológicos exhumados permiten a Nertobriga erigirse en paradigma con el que comprender la trascendencia de dichos cambios. Conocida desde tiempos inmemoriales por la rotundidad de su nom...
