^DTwelve papers to honour the 70th birthday of Joyce Reynolds, all written by her former students. The essays discuss the precariousness of political and religious authority in the literature and culture of Greece and Rome as well as in Carolingian Europe and Renaissance Crete.
The texts from Aphrodisias in Caria at the core of this book provide remarkable documentation for Roman history during the Mithridatic War, the Second Triumvirate and the second-third centuries A.D. They include a Greek translation of the longest senatus consultum so far known and a number of imperial letters. They throw light on provincial attitudes to Rome, on Roman policies in the provinces, on the relation of Octavian with Antony, and on many fascinating details of Roman administrative practice.
