Reading Republican Oratory
Public speech was a key aspect of politics in Republican Rome, yet the partial nature of the available evidence means that our understanding of its workings is dominated by one man: Cicero. This volume explores the oratory of the Roman Republic as practiced by individuals other than Cicero, focusing on the surviving fragments of such oratory.
The Impact of Mobility and Migration in the Roman Empire
The Impact of Mobility and Migration in the Roman Empire assembles a series of papers on key themes of Roman mobility and migration, discussing i.a. the mobility of the army, of the elite, of women, and war-induced mobility and deportations.
Cultural Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean
Cultural identity in the classical world is explored from a variety of angles.
Community and Communication
This title brings together contributions which rethink the role of public speech in the Roman Republic. With careful attention to a range of evidence, it shines a light on orators and considers the oratory of diplomatic exchanges and impromptu heckling and repartee alongside the familiar genres of forensic and political speech.
Tradition and Power in the Roman Empire
This volume focuses on the interface between tradition and the shifting configuration of power structures in the Roman Empire. By examining various time periods and locales, its contributions show the Empire as a world filed with a wide variety of cultural, political, social, and religious traditions. These traditions were constantly played upon in the processes of negotiation and (re)definition that made the empire into a superstructure whose coherence was embedded in its diversity.
Tales of the Barbarians
Tales of the Barbarians traces the creation of new mythologies in the wake of Roman expansion westward to the Atlantic, and offers the first application of modern ethnographic theory to ancient material. Investigates the connections between empire and knowledge at the turn of the millennia, and the creation of new histories in the Roman West Explores how ancient geography, local histories and the stories of wandering heroes were woven together by Greek scholars and local experts Offers a fresh perspective by examining passages from ancient writers in a new light
The Routledge Companion to Strabo
The Routledge Companion to Strabo explores the works of Strabo of Amasia (c. 64 BCE – c. CE 24), a Greek author writing at the prime of Roman expansion and political empowerment. While his earlier historiographical composition is almost entirely lost, his major opus of the Geography includes an encyclopaedic look at the entire world known at the time: numerous ethnographic, topographic, historical, mythological, botanical, and zoological details, and much more. This volume offers various insights to the literary and historical context of the man and his world. The Companion, in twenty-eight chapters written by an international group of scholars, examines several aspects of Strabo’s personality, the political and scholarly environment in which he was active, his choices as an author, and his ideas of history and geography. This selection of ongoing Strabonian studies is an invaluable resource not just for students and scholars of Strabo himself, but also for anyone interested in ancient geography and in the world of the early Roman Empire.

Hibera in terra miles
Les guerres constantes menées par Rome dans la péninsule ibérique aux deux derniers siècles avant notre ère ont la réputation d'avoir particulièrement contribué à fragiliser le régime républicain en déstabilisant le système de recrutement traditionnel des armées et en révélant les limites de leurs conceptions de la guerre et du combat. Ce livre montre qu'il n'en fut rien. D'une envergure en général plus restreinte qu'on l'admet ordinairement, les conflits opposant Rome aux peuples de la péninsule n'ont jamais exigé de sa part un investissement démesuré. La Seconde Guerre Punique ou les guerres civiles du Ier s. av. J.-C. représentent de ce point de vue des cas particul...
