Water Culture in Roman Society
Water played an important part of ancient Roman life, from providing necessary drinking water, supplying bath complexes, to flowing in large-scale public fountains. The Roman culture of water was seen throughout the Roman Empire, although it was certainly not monolithic and it could come in a variety of scales and forms, based on climatic and social conditions of different areas. This article seeks to define ‘water culture’ in Roman society by examining literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, while understanding modern trends in scholarship related to the study of Roman water. The culture of water can be demonstrated through expressions of power, aesthetics, and spectacle. Further there was a shared experience of water in the empire that could be expressed through religion, landscape, and water’s role in cultures of consumption and pleasure.
Sextus Julius Frontinus and the Roman Empire
Sextus Iulius Frontinus is best known as author of the military handbook Strategems but, in addition to writing this and other works (now lost), he also had a varied and surprisingly influential career in military and civil posts around the Roman Empire.

Continuing work on Pepys's library, and recent discoveries, necessitate expansion of the content and entries in the original volumes. This is the first in the Supplementary Series. Pepys's library has been, as he directed, preserved intact at his old Cambridge college since 1724. Between 1978 and 1994 a complete catalogue was published for the first time. The present title, essential to all users of the first volume in that series, N.A. Smith's Printed Books, vastly enhances the range of information available. The short-title arrangement of Printed Books is replaced by a numerical listing which follows the library's shelf-order; many entries have been extended, and where possible updated wit...
Derrotado, pero no sorprendido
¿Cuál ha sido el papel jugado por la información secreta en la planificación y desarrollo de las operaciones militares en la Historia? ¿Cómo se integraron las estructuras permanentes de inteligencia en el seno de las políticas de seguridad y defensa de los Estados? ¿Puede encontrarse un hilo conductor en su estudio a lo largo de los dos últimos siglos? Bien como elemento determinante, insustituible o simplemente complementario, los tratados políticos y militares dedicaron desde la más temprana Antigüedad valiosas reflexiones sobre el valor, utilidad y consideración de las llamadas "inteligencias secretas". A través de ocho capítulos, este libro trata de establecer un puente en...
