Marcus Furius Camillus, fatalis dux
Marcus Furius Camillus is the dominant figure in our traditional history of the Roman Republic in the early fourth century. He has been featured in histories of Rome since the Renaissance, but currently is viewed with great scepticism, some even questioning his very existence. What is notably absent, however, is any reference to a system of historical method: how one distinguishes fact from fiction. This is the first modern monograph on Camillus, and it grapples head-on with this problem. The results are unexpected.
Akhenaten
Features a biographical sketch of Egyptian King Akhenaton, or Akhenaten, (14th century B.C.), written by Tore Kjeilen and provided online as part of the "Encyclopedia of the Orient" resource. Notes that Akhenaton enacted religious reforms that proposed replacing the polytheism of Egypt with monotheism, centered around Aten, the god of the solar disc.

Rome
The purpose of this 'guide' is simple. It is to illustrate the incredible history of Rome, now approaching the end of its third millennium. It is also to provide a new kind of 'guide', illustrating that history. There are many splendid guides to Rome. These guides all follow the same arrangement: the city divided into areas, modelled on the rioni (wards), in order to plan 'walks'. This is the only rational way that one could explore the city. My intention is to illustrate Rome's history, which requires a totally different organisation. This guide is divided into centuries, giving some indication of what can still be visited, observed, and studied of the city's history over all these centurie...
The Eagle and the Spade
This book is an account of an almost completely neglected archaeological epic, the uncovering and restoration of all the classical monuments of Rome during the French occupation (1809-14). This was the first large-scale archaeological programme in the city. Based on archives in Rome and Paris, the archaeology of these five years is placed against its essential background: the fate of the monuments since antiquity and the contemporary Napoleonic political and cultural history. Mr Ridley describes the enormously complicated organisation which carried out the work and identifies the leading administrators, archaeologists and architects. The bulk of the work is a detailed account of the excavation and restoration work on the Forum Romanum, the Colosseum and the Forum of Trajan, the main classical monuments. There are numerous illustrations of the monuments both before and after the French intervention, as well as unpublished plans from the archives. There is an extensive specialist index. The book is intended for anyone interested in archaeology, in Napoleonic Europe and above all, in Rome.
