  • Publisher: Unknown

This open access edited volume offers an understanding of how ancient texts, ranging from the historical and biographical to the oratorical and epistolary, demonstrate the negotiation and renegotiation of the concepts of otherness, identity and culture. Drawing together new research from emerging and senior scholars from across the world, Confronting Identities in the Roman Empire presents an up-to-date insight into notions of identity and otherness, both at the level of the individual and community, in the ancient world. Roman identity is perceived as the result of the multiple interactions with the Other. The contributors analyse specific ancient case studies in order to define the network...

História de Roma Antiga Volume II

O volume abarca um amplo espetro temporal que vai desde Augusto ao fim do Império Romano do Ocidente, numa sequência cronologicamente organizada de dinastias, estadistas, crises e momentos de transição, a culminar na deposição do último imperador e nas vãs tentativas de reconquista por parte de Justiniano. Estão presentes elementos culturais e valores identitários que deram forma à Europa, no que toca ao legado histórico, instituições, valores, e também uma galeria de “homens ilustres”. Além da chamada história política, sobressaem outros aspetos que informam as sociedades e a cidade, distribuídos por rubricas, como manifestações de cultura, em que se enquadra a literatura, elementos lúdicos, exércitos e economia. Uma parte do volume trata especificamente a “Romanidade Hispânica” o legado do Império que nos diz mais respeito, incluindo temas que vão desde os substratos linguísticos pré-romanos aos efeitos da romanização no povoamento rural e urbano, nas vias de comunicação e na circulação de bens.

História de Roma Antiga: vol. I: das origens à morte de César

Este volume apresenta-se como um conjunto articulado de contributos sobre a história de Roma, desde as suas origens lendárias até à morte de César, em 44 a.C. Trata-se de um manual que visa trazer aos alunos universitários e aos interessados pela cultura clássica informações e reflexões de autores antigos e modernos em paralelo com os dados da arqueologia. Inclui, além das culturas, povos e línguas da Itália primitiva e das lendas da fundação, elementos sobre o período da monarquia e vicissitudes da transição para a República, com o conflito de ordens que a historiografia antiga reporta a essa época. Analisa depois as fases da expansão do poder romano através da Itália...

Urban Transformations in the Late Antique West: Materials, Agents, and Models

This volume is the fruit of a highly productive international research gathering academic and professional (field- and museum) colleagues to discuss new results and approaches, recent finds and alternative theoretical assessments of the period of transition and transformation of classical towns in Late Antiquity. Experts from an array of modern countries attended and presented to help compare and contrast critically archaeologies of diverse regions and to debate the qualities of the archaeology and the current modes of study. While a number of papers inevitably focused on evidence available for both Spain and Portugal, we were delighted to have a spread of contributions that extended the picture to other territories in the Late Roman West and Mediterranean. The emphasis was very much on the images presented by archaeology (rescue and research works, recent and past), but textual data were also brought into play by various contributors.

Visitors from beyond the Grave

The monograph deals with the topic of ghosts in universal literature from a polyhedral perspective, making use of different perspectives, all of which highlight the resilience of these figures from the very beginning of literature up to the present day. Therefore, the aim of this volume is to focus on how ghosts have been translated and transformed over the years within literature written in the following languages: Classical Greek and Latin, Spanish, Italian, and English.

Mapping Youth Religiosity in Santiago de Chile

This research aimed to generate more complex knowledge regarding youth religiosity in Santiago de Chile. Following Van der Ven’s proposal, an empirical-theological study was developed, guided by three main questions: How is youth religiosity in Santiago today configured? What personal and social factors influence it? And what contributions does this knowledge bring to theological and pastoral reflection? Using a Mixed Method (qual-QUAN) five dimensions were explored: beliefs, events of contact, practices, consequences in daily life, and groups of reference. The results were a valuable contribution to the available knowledge and theological reflection in dialogue with "lived religion".

História Augusta. Vol. II

Este segundo volume inclui as biografias de Pertinaz, Dídio Juliano, Setímio Severo, Pescénio Nigro, Clódio Albino, Caracala, Geta, Macrino, Diadúmeno e Heliogábalo. Assim, levando em conta a acessão de Pertinaz ao trono imperial e a morte de Heliogábalo, o volume abrange o período da História de Roma que vai de 192 a 222 d.C. Mas, se tomarmos como ponto de partida o nascimento de Pertinaz (122 d.C.), o conjunto perfaz cerca de um século. O período abrangido pelas Vidas aqui reunidas coincide com o da instituição da dinastia dos Severos, que se seguiu à dos Antoninos, que marcou a vários níveis o apogeu imperial romano. De todas as biografias reunidas neste volume, a de Heliogábalo deverá ser, pela riqueza das descrições, a que melhor corresponde a um certo imaginário contemporâneo — ainda que não necessariamente factual — da Roma Antiga: uma civilização pautada pela desmesura, pelo excesso, pelo exotismo, pela crueldade e pela perversão.
