The Spartacus War
An authoritative account from an expert author: The Spartacus War is the first popular history of the revolt in English. The Spartacus War is the extraordinary story of the most famous slave rebellion in the ancient world, the fascinating true story behind a legend that has been the inspiration for novelists, filmmakers, and revolutionaries for 2,000 years. Starting with only seventy-four men, a gladiator named Spartacus incited a rebellion that threatened Rome itself. With his fellow gladiators, Spartacus built an army of 60,000 soldiers and controlled the southern Italian countryside. A charismatic leader, he used religion to win support. An ex-soldier in the Roman army, Spartacus excelled...
Luther's Rome, Rome's Luther
This book reconsiders the question of Martin Luther's relationship with Rome in all its sixteenth-century manifestations: the early-modern city he visited as a young man, the ancient republic and empire whose language and literature he loved, the Holy Roman Empire of which he was a subject, and the sacred seat of the papacy. It will appeal to scholars as well as lay readers, especially those interested in Rome, the reception of the classics in the Reformation, Luther studies, and early-modern history. Springer's methodology is primarily literary-critical, and he analyzes a variety of texts--prose and poetry--throughout the book. Some of these speak for themselves, while Springer examines oth...
The School Librarian's Compass
By working through these cases and the accompanying learning exercises, both pre-service and practicing school librarians will strengthen their readiness, expand their perspectives, and build confidence for solving problems and making informed, thoughtful decisions in their school libraries. In their preparation for school librarianship, library students learn foundational ideals and observe best practices that center and guide their work. However, discussions of aspirational versions of school librarianship often leave out sufficient practice in managing the many challenges and decisions school librarians face on the job. In this book, veteran educator Rebecca J. Morris uses stories of day-to-day librarianship to empower school librarians as they navigate and manage the complex interactions, decisions, and opportunities of their work. The book's alignment with the AASL/CAEP standards makes it helpful to school library educators planning curriculum, syllabi, and course activities. Perfect for reading or study groups, graduate classes, and professional development, these stories invite reflection and lively conversation.

While other reference works typically examine battles and politicians, this book focuses ...

The Roads To Rome
Brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of European history through one the greatest imperial networks ever built 'A delightful, novel and authoritative history from the ground up' JUDITH HERRIN 'Epic and witty ... Fletcher is a thoroughly enjoyable narrator because she peppers her learned prose with wry humour' TOBIAS JONES, Observer 'All roads lead to Rome.' It's a medieval proverb, but it's also true: today's European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, as Rome’s extraordinary legacy continues to grip our imaginations. Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrim...
exempla imitanda
Dieses Buch widmet sich der Frage, wie sich das Verhältnis zwischen einer antiken Vorlage und einer Aufnahme derselben in einer mehr oder weniger entfernten Epoche gestaltet hat. Exempla imitanda lautet daher das dem Tatenbericht des ersten Princeps Augustus entnommene Motto des Bandes, da diese Fragestellung auch das wissenschaftliche Interesse des Jubilars Ernst Baltrusch stark geprägt hat. Sind exempla imitanda als ein Ansatz für den Umgang mit, ja die Bewältigung der eigenen Gegenwart zu verstehen? Das wird von den Beiträgern des Bandes beleuchtet, angewendet und hinterfragt. Die Vielzahl der zu diesem Zweck gewählten Ansätze belegt, wie verschieden ein solcher programmatischer Anspruch aufgefaßt und umgesetzt werden kann. In diesem Buch sind viele der großen Themen vertreten, denen sich Ernst Baltrusch in seiner wissenschaftlichen Vita gewidmet hat.
Razboiul lui Spartacus
Traducere de Dan Crăciun „Nimeni nu prezintă istoria militară a lumii antice cu atâta erudiție și măiestrie ca Barry Strauss.“ —Publishers Weekly „Povestea lui Spartacus este în primul rând o poveste de război: un clasic studiu de caz al unei insurecții conduse de un geniu al tacticilor de gherilă și al unei contrainsurecții inițiate de o putere convențională… Războiul lui Spartacus este, de asemenea, o poveste despre un conflict etnic… Scindările tribale i-au transformat pe rebeli în clici învrăjbite. Povestea lui Spartacus este totodată o poveste de iubire și o cruciadă. Spartacus a avut o soție sau o concubină; numele ei nu a fost consemnat. Preoteas...
