The Hidden Power
"Can the study of a local coinage provide elements useful for a better understanding of Roman provincial economic policy as a whole? Using the production patterns of the Asian cistophorus as a case study, this book aims to prove such a connection and, at the same time, hopes to provide useful tools for better understanding Roman economic policy in the province of Asia between its establishment in the 120s BC and the beginning of the Mithridatic Wars"--
Connected Histories of the Roman Civil Wars (88–30 BCE)
This book offers a distinctive take on the civil wars that unfolded in the Late Roman Republic. It frames their discussion against the backdrop of the Mediterranean contexts in which they were fought, and sets out to bring to the centre of the debate the significance of provincial agency on a traumatic and complex process, which cannot be understood through an exclusive focus on Roman and Italian developments. The study of the late Republican civil wars can be productively read as an exercise of ‘connected history’, in which the fundamental interdependence of the Mediterranean world comes to the fore through a set of case studies that await to be understood through a properly integrative approach. Our project brings together an international and diverse lineup of scholars, who engage with a wide range of literary, documentary, and archaeological material, and make a collective contribution to the reframing of a problem that requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary outlook, and can yield invaluable insights to the understanding of the Roman imperial project.
Local Coinages in a Roman World
Proporcionado por el editor : "This book catalogues the 3,726 coins of the Richard B. Witschonke collection of coinage in the early Roman provinces, now in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. Most of these coins date between the second and the first half of the first century BC, and thus this catalogue serves as an important reference for coins of the Roman provinces that fall outside of the scope of the Roman Provincial Coinage catalogues. Critical historical introductions precede each of the 36 sections of the catalogue. Encompassing the entirety of the Mediterranean basin, they highlight how pre-existing local monetary systems interacted and partially converged with the Roman monetary system in these regions"

Local Coinages in a Roman World
The Richard B. Witschonke Collection of more than 3,700 coins, now in the collection of the American Numismatic Society, provides the historical and numismatic prologue to the study of Roman provincial coinage. Most of the specimens are of great historical and numismatic value, as explained in the historical introductions preceding each of the 38 sections of this catalogue. This collection offers a unique overview of the diverse ways in which the monetary systems of the Mediterranean basin responded to the Roman conquest in the second and early first centuries BCE and to the related necessity of interconnectivity..

Coins of the Roman Revolution, 49 BC-AD 14
Coins of the best-known Roman revolutionary era allow rival pretenders to speak to us directly. After the deaths of Caesar and Cicero (in 44 and 43 BC) hardly one word has been reliably transmitted to us from even the two most powerful opponents of Octavian: Mark Antony and Sextus Pompeius - except through coinage and the occasional inscription. The coins are an antidote to a widespread fault in modern approaches: the idea, from hindsight, that the Roman Republic was doomed, that the rise of Octavian-Augustus to monarchy was inevitable, and that contemporaries might have sensed as much. Ancient works in other genres skilfully encouraged such hindsight. Augustus in the Res Gestae, and Virgil ...
Official Power and Local Elites in the Roman Provinces
Presenting a new and revealing overview of the ruling classes of the Roman Empire, this volume explores aspects of the relations between the official state structures of Rome and local provincial elites. The central objective of the volume is to present as complex a picture as possible of the provincial leaderships and their many and varied responses to the official state structures. The perspectives from which issues are approached by the contributors are as multiple as the realities of the Roman world: from historical and epigraphic studies to research of philological and linguistic interpretations, and from architectural analyses to direct interpretations of the material culture. While so...
The Family Office
Family offices are private organizations that assume the daily administration and management of a wealthy family’s personal and financial affairs. Historically, these repositories of great wealth were shrouded in secrecy, their activities conducted behind closed doors. Recently, family offices have acquired a considerably higher public profile: they represent a mere 7 percent of the world’s ultra-high-net-worth population—yet control a staggering 50 percent of the wealth. As only a select few families now hold a disproportionate amount of global wealth, there are significant social implications to how such assets are managed and used. This book provides an insider’s view for anyone l...
