Digital and Traditional Epigraphy in Context
This volume collects the proceedings of the final conference of the European project EAGLE (Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy), held at the Sapienza University of Rome on January 28-30th 2016.
Citizens in the Graeco-Roman World
The twelve studies contained in this volume discuss some key-aspects of citizenship from its emergence in Archaic Greece until the Roman period before AD 212, when Roman citizenship was extended to all the free inhabitants of the Empire. The book explores the processes of formation and re-formation of citizen bodies, the integration of foreigners, the question of multiple-citizenship holders and the political and philosophical thought on ancient citizenship. The aim is that of offering a multidisciplinary approach to the subject, ranging from literature to history and philosophy, as well as encouraging the reader to integrate the traditional institutional and legalistic approach to citizenship with a broader perspective, which encompasses aspects such as identity formation, performative aspect and discourse of citizenship.
Crucifixion in the Mediterranean World
John Granger Cook traces the use of the penalty by the Romans until its probable abolition by Constantine. Rabbinic and legal sources are not neglected. The material contributes to the understanding of the crucifixion of Jesus and has implications for the theologies of the cross in the New Testament. Images and photographs are included in this volume.
Invisible Cultures
Cultural and social groups whose outlines are difficult to identify are often considered “invisible”. Occasionally, material remains compensate for the absence of historiographical records or literary sources concerning these groups; sometimes communities or individuals mentioned in literary sources do not appear to have left material signs of their presence. On the other hand, there are groups or individuals whose existence has to be assumed in every historical period, even though they are invisible in both historiography and archaeology. Before trying to understand the lifestyle and historical agency of these “invisible cultures”, it is necessary to highlight the reasons why the me...
From Document to History
In From Document to History: Epigraphic Insights into the Greco-Roman World, editors Carlos Noreña and Nikolaos Papazarkadas gather together an exciting set of original studies on Greek and Roman epigraphy, first presented at the Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (Berkeley 2016). Chapters range chronologically from the sixth century BCE to the fifth century CE, and geographically from Egypt and Asia Minor to the west European continent and British isles. Key themes include Greek and Roman epigraphies of time, space, and public display, with texts featuring individuals and social groups ranging from Roman emperors, imperial elites, and artists to gladiators, immigrants, laborers, and slaves. Several papers highlight the new technologies that are transforming our understanding of ancient inscriptions, and a number of major new texts are published here for the first time.
TeatrAlias
TeatrAlias nasce come raccolta di diversi componimenti che, nel corso degli anni, ho preparato col pensiero di una loro resa nell'ambito teatrale. Alcuni sono monologhi teatrali, altre sono scene di insieme e un lavoro, Lo Scaldaletto, è una traduzione/adattamento di una delle più divertenti commedie di Eduardo Scarpetta. In Appendice è possibile trovare anche una versione non definitiva di un lavoro (Il Verbo Matto) che preferisco riportare a mo' di curiosità "archeologica". Alcune composizioni sono apparse in precedenza sopra alcune pagine web.

I pretoriani di Roma nei primi due secoli dell'Impero
Il libro si rivolge a quanti vogliano scoprire o conoscere meglio la lunga e appassionante storia delle coorti pretorie, attraverso la “voce” dei suoi protagonisti: ufficiali, sottufficiali, graduati e soldati semplici. La ricerca, mediante un costante riferimento alle fonti documentarie, spesso integrate o corrette, giunge a una migliore definizione e impostazione delle problematiche storiche riguardanti il corpo militare più noto della Roma imperiale. Evidenziando i momenti di continuità e rottura, illustra, inoltre, alcuni temi al centro del dibattito scientifico: il numero delle coorti e gli effettivi di ciascuna di esse, l’età dell’arruolamento e la durata del servizio, la pa...
