In the year AD 80 the Colosseum opened with quite the longest and most nauseating organized mass orgy in history. It was a mammoth celebration on the grandest scale, a fitting inauguration for an arena built to epitomize all the majesty and power of the Roman Empire, a building which also held the seeds of that Empire's decay and destruction.
As well as his vivid account of the erection of the Colosseum, Mr. Pearson discusses the origins of death spectacles and their evolution into highly organized games intended to enhance imperial prestige and provide the populace with an effective substitute for politics and war. 'Butchered to make a Roman holiday', the victims of this lust for slaughter were slaves and criminals, the human surplus of their day, coached for an almost certain death. One chapter highlights the perverted death-wish of many early would-be martyrs and decisively establishes that there is no evidence for the death of a single Christian martyr in the Colosseum.
The book concludes with a brief survey of the building's subsequent history; looted and despoiled yet still the embodiment of Rome's spirit and greatness, it became a sublime romantic ruin, now exposed by slum-clearance as a gigantic traffic island. Mr Pearson is acutely aware of the violence that was endemic in Roman society, and in his shrewd analysis he draws disturbing parallels with the twentieth-century situation. | 1 | null | 0 |

Il periodo che va dalle riforme politiche di Clistene del 508 alla morte di Socrate nel 399 a.C. è diventato un modello universale, insieme politico e culturale. Politico perché si ritiene che ad Atene sia stata inventata la democrazia, cioè il regime istituzionale e di governo oggi più diffuso nel mondo. Culturale perché si ritiene che ad Atene siano nate la filosofia, la storia, il teatro, la letteratura, l’arte e l’architettura che ancora oggi consideriamo ‘classici’, quindi riferimenti obbligati (e insuperati) per chiunque voglia cimentarsi in quei campi del pensiero e della creazione umana. Il mondo di Atene riporta la città alla sua storia, rimuovendo il velo della sua immagine idealizzata e restituendocela così come emerge dalla ricchezza delle fonti, prime tra tutte quelle degli scrittori contemporanei. Un’Atene molto diversa dallo stereotipo che abbiamo spesso conservato nei ricordi scolastici e che ha intessuto la retorica dei discorsi pubblici. Luciano Canfora ‘smonta’ la macchina retorica a partire dagli stessi testi classici, dimostrando che i critici più radicali della democrazia ateniese furono gli stessi intellettuali ateniesi. Eventi centrali dell’intera narrazione sono la parabola dell’impero marittimo ateniese sconfitto da Sparta, la lacerazione che essa determinò nel mondo greco fino a coinvolgere pesantemente il grande e incombente impero persiano; la rinascita dell’impero nella medesima area geo-politica, la sua crisi e l’esito inedito, rappresentato dal trionfo dell’ideale monarchico realizzato nell’egemonia macedone. | 0 | pilimi-zlib-11550000-11579999.torrent | 0 |

Canfora incrocia fonti talora conosciutissime, talora quasi ignote, sottoponendole al microscopio del filologo ma anche allo sguardo acuto dell’indagatore poliziesco.
Alessandro Barbero, “Tuttolibri”
Il mondo di Atene è un vasto affresco sulla democrazia antica che giunge in tempi di grave crisi dei sistemi democratici contemporanei e riattiva la memoria storica del lettore intorno a temi e problemi del nostro mondo, dalla crisi della rappresentanza al tramonto della concertazione politica, al neoimperialismo del villaggio globale.
Massimo Stella, “Alias”
Un libro nemico dei luoghi comuni, un saggio dove il rigore dell’intelligenza e la pratica appassionata della filologia sono un sano antidoto all’ovvietà sull’Atene di Pericle.
Giorgio Ieranò, “il Fatto Quotidiano”
Un processo politico alla culla della democrazia, una nuova interpretazione della Storia per capire come andassero davvero le cose ai tempi di Socrate.

Rosenblum | Cambridge University Press | english | 1 | 2010 | 238 | Food often defines societies and even civilizations. Through particular commensality restrictions, groups form distinct identities: Those with whom ''we'' eat (''Us'') and those with whom ''we'' cannot eat (''Them''). This identity is enacted daily, turning the biological need to eat into a culturally significant activity. In this book, Jordan D. Rosenblum explores how food regulations and practices helped to construct the identity of early rabbinic Judaism. Bringing together the scholarship of rabbinics with that of food studies, this volume first examines the historical reality of food production and consumption in Roman-era Palestine. It then explores how early rabbinic food regulations created a distinct Jewish, male, and rabbinic identity. Rosenblum's work demonstrates how rabbinic food practices constructed an edible identity. | 1 | null | 0 |

At the same time that Statius reworks the Homeric and Virgilian epic traditions, he engages with Hellenistic poetic ideals as exemplified by Callimachus and the Roman Callimachean poets, especially Ovid. The result is a tension between the impulse towards the generic expectations of warfare and the desire for delay and postponement of such conflict. Ultimately, Statius adheres to the mythic paradigm of the mutual fratricide, but he continues to employ competing strategies that call attention to the fictive nature of any project of closure and conciliation. In the process, the poem offers a new mode of epic closure that emphasises individual means of resolution. | 1 | null | 0 |

Crouch | Oxford University Press, USA | english | 1993 | 401 | Focusing on the Mediterranean area where water management is crucial, this pioneering study is the first to show how the supply, distribution, and drainage of water contributed to the urbanization of ancient cities. Drawing from classical archaeology, the theory and history of urbanization, geology, and hydraulic engineering, Crouch examines water-system elements, including springs, fountains, wells, channels and drains, latrines, laundry, and dishwashing, as they relate to each other and to the physical, historical, and social bases of ancient Greek cities. Studying numerous sites including Pompeii, Pergamon, Athens, Samos, Delphi, and Corinth, she concludes that increased knowledge and skill in management of water contributed directly to the urbanization of the ancient Greek world. Illustrated with excellent photographs and line drawings, the discussions of supply, distribution, and drainage of water are organized topically, rather than chronologically or by site, offering an excellent example of the interdisciplinary approach. Crouch's study raises stimulating questions for further research, indicates entirely new directions for established academic disciplines, and suggests useful procedures for modern cities facing problems of water supply and management. | 1 | null | 0 |

Many of his theories and practices were the basis for medical knowledge for centuries after his death and some practices -- like checking a patient's pulse -- are still used today. He also left a vast corpus of writings which makes up a full one-eighth of all surviving ancient Greek literature. Through her readings of hundreds of Galen's case histories, Susan P.

Mattern describes the public, competitive, and masculine nature of medicine among the urban elite and analyzes the relationship between clinical practice and power in the Roman household. She also finds that although Galen is usually perceived as self-absorbed and self-promoting, his writings reveal him as sensitive to the patient's history, symptoms, perceptions, and even words. Examining his professional interactions in the context of the world in which he lived and practiced, Galen and the Rhetoric of Healing provides a fresh perspective on a foundational figure in medicine and valuable insight into how doctors thought about their patients and their practice in the ancient world.

By 2000 the study of war was again firmly on the archaeological agenda. </p><p>The overall purpose of the book is to encourage proponents and practitioners of Conflict Archaeology to consider what it is for and how to develop it in the future.The central argument is that, at present , Conflict Archaeology is effectively divided into closed communities who do not interact to any large extent. These separate communities are divided by period and by nationality, so that a truly international Conflict Archaeology has yet to emerge. These divisions prevent the exchange of information and ideas across boundaries and thereby limit the scope of the field.

Would the experience resemble Olympic festivals as we celebrate them today? This remarkable book transports us back to the heyday of the city-state and classical Greek civilization. It invites us to enter this distant, alien, but still familiar culture and discover what the Greeks did and didn't do during five thrilling days in August 2,400 years ago.</p><p>In the Olympic Stadium there were no stands, no shade—and no women allowed. Visitors sat on a grassy bank in the searing heat of midsummer to watch naked athletes compete in footraces, the pentathlon, horse and chariot races, and three combat sports—wrestling, boxing, and <i>pankration, </i>everyone's favorite competition, with virtually no rules and considerable blood and pain. This colorfully illustrated volume offers a complete tour of the Olympic site exactly as athletes and spectators found it. The book evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of the crowded encampment; introduces the various attendees (from champions and charlatans to aristocrats and prostitutes); and explains the numerous exotic religious rituals. Uniquely detailed and precise, this guide offers readers an unparalleled opportunity to travel in time, back to the excitement of ancient Olympia.</p> | 1 | null | 0 |

Hohlfelder | University of Michigan Press | english | 2008 | 352 | It was not until the third century BCE that geopolitical realities beyond Italy forced Rome to recognize the importance of the sea to its own fate. Two centuries later, following the fall of Egypt in 30 BCE, Rome emerged as the dominant maritime power. Once in place, Rome's dominance of the sea became an important component of its imperial history. No other power before or since has controlled the Mediterranean basin or exercised an imperial naval tenure to such an extent.<br /><br />Derived from the proceedings of the conference "The Maritime World of Ancient Rome" held at the American Academy in Rome 27-29 March 2003, this volume was conceived to provide a forum for recent research on subjects relating to the maritime life of Rome and the vast empire it created. With contributions from eminent scholars from around the world, this volume builds upon and extends the scope of the American Academy in Rome's first volume on Rome's maritime life, <i>The Seaborne Commerce of Ancient Rome: Studies in Archaeology and History</i>. It will be of interest to scholars investigating maritime aspects of the Roman period and to upper level students studying the maritime affairs of the Roman period.<br /><br />Cover Credit: Roman merchantman under sail entering or leaving Portus, ca. 3rd century AD. Courtesy Fototeca Unione, AAR.<br /><br />"From papers on warship slipways to prostitutes, and from piracy to hydraulic concrete, this volume will be a required source for researchers dealing with maritime life in Roman times. As with all good scholarship, the combined gravitas of the contributions here pushes research forward by discussing new fieldwork, reviewing critically previous conclusions, studying evidence in new patterns and experimental archaeology."<br />---Shelley Wachsmann, Meadows Professor of Biblical Archaeology, Nautical Archaeology Program, Texas A&M University<br /><br />"<i>The Maritime World of Ancient Rome</i> provides both theoretical and descriptive discussions of recent scholarly work devoted to expanding our modern understanding of the role of waterways and seas in Roman life. Drawing upon history and archaeology through cogent and accessible contributions by top scholars, the collection will stimulate discussion and debate for years to come. Readers will, like me, be inspired by the overarching perspective of the maritime network and its influence on so many aspects of life in the ancient Roman world."<br />---Cheryl Ward, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Florida State University<br /><br />"<i>The Maritime World of Ancient Rome</i> is not just of interest to maritime scholars but also to anyone working on the ancient Roman world."<br />---Hector Williams, Trustee, Vancouver Maritime Museum, and Professor, Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, University of British Columbia | 1 | null | 0 |

della matrice giudaico-cristiana, a fruttificare nella civiltà alla

vivevano la loro religione nei miti, nei riti, nei culti divini, e in
essa raccoglievano il senso della propria esistenza. Dunque per noi oggi
si tratta di comprendere storicamente il senso della religione greca. E
il libro di Brelich di ciò si fa problema. Egli riesce a ricostruire,
in un grande e sintetico pannello storico, la genesi, gli sviluppi, gli
esili di quel mondo religioso, sul piano di una brillante divulgazione
scientifica che vuol parlare proprio a un pubblico non specialista.
Brelich guarda la religione in stretto rapporto con le píù diverse
manifestazioni della civiltà globale, le strutture politiche e sociali,
il teatro, l'arte, i giochi, la letteraturà, la filosofia, e nel suo
svolgimento storico, dall'età preellenica all'Ellenismo. Per di più, il

Lolos | American School of Classical Studies at Athens | english | Hesperia Supplement 39 | 2011 | 652 | Ancient Sikyon, in the northeastern Peloponnese, was a major player on the Mediterranean stage, especially in the Archaic and Hellenistic periods. This important topographical study combines substantial background information with original research from many years of archaeological fieldwork. After discussing the physical environment and resources of the region, the author traces the history of Sikyon from the Mycenaean to the early modern period. The book then expands to discuss the place of the city in its surrounding landscape, especially in the creation of fortifications to protect property and control the flow of trade. A series of elegant maps plot the position of many previously unknown settlements and sanctuaries. | 1 | null | 0 |

Using a combination of sources, but concentrating on the law-court speeches of the Attic orators, Dr Millett shows that it is possible to see how lending and borrowing were a way of ordering social relations between Athenian citizens. Although debt could be disruptive, it had as its more positive side the strengthening of ties between individuals. That was, in turn, an aspect of the solidarity between citizens that was a part of the Athenian democracy. | 1 | null | 0 |

understood unless we know how it was
created. Hence an unfinished painting
or sculpture often shows revealing
features which are lost in the finished
work. Antique statues are almost
incomprehensible to us in their
technique because the greatest effects
are here achieved by the smallest means.
The present text explains in a lucid and
always interesting way how the Greek
sculptors produced their works. The
illustrations, mainly from unfinished
sculptures, show the use of the
different tools and make it clear how the
artist proceeded from the first
inspiration to the last stroke. This book
gives a deeper insight into Greek art
than many a bulky text-book. | 1 | null | 0 |

<p>In <em>Augustus</em> , his third great novel, John Williams took on an entirely new challenge, a historical narrative set in classical Rome, exploring the life of the founder of the Roman Empire. To tell the story, Williams turned to the epistolary novel, a genre that was new to him, transforming and transcending it just as he did the western in <em>Butcher’s Crossing</em> and the campus novel in <em>Stoner</em>. <em>Augustus</em> is the final triumph of a writer who has come to be recognized around the world as an American master. </p> | 0 | pilimi-zlib2-18130000-18209999.torrent | 0 |

Bien décidé à venger César, le jeune Octave doit combattre ses ennemis les uns après les autres, par la ruse ou par les armes, pour rétablir la grandeur de Rome et assurer la paix civile. Luttant contre la corruption des élites, déjouant les intrigues des soit-disant partisans de la République et mettant fin aux guerres fratricides, Octave se voit offrir par un Sénat affaibli la dictature et devient ainsi, sous le nom d'Augustus, le premier empereur de Rome.

Thomas places this powerful figure within the context of his time, place, culture, and ancestry in order to discover what influences shaped his life and career.<br><br>The book begins with an exploration of the Macedonia that conditioned the lives of its inhabitants. It also traces such influences on Alexander's life as his royal Argead ancestry, his father, Philip II, and his mother, Olympias. The author examines Alexander's engagement with Greek culture, especially his relationship with Aristotle, and contemplates how other societal factors - especially the highly militarized Macedonian kingdom and the nature of Macedonia's relationship with neighboring states - contributed to his achievement.<br><br>What was the significance of these influences on the man who succeeded in conquering most of the known world from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River? The author focuses on this question in exploring ancient landscapes and resurrecting key figures from antiquity in order to penetrate the motivation, goals, and inner being of Alexander the Great. | 1 | null | 0 |

Lidbury, Suresh Mahalingam | CRC Press | english | 1 | 2008 | 170 | With the successful mapping of the human genome, we have entered an age of unprecedented opportunity in which researchers are beginning to apply this vast repository of knowledge to the treatment of human disease. Gene-profiling technologies and the concept of individualized medicine are leading to the development of drugs with enhanced specificity. This promises to lead to more effective treatment of diseases with reduced risk of side effects. Gene Profiling in Drug Design provides insights from leaders in the pure sciences, biotechnology, and other arenas. It emphasizes the science that underpins gene profiling and drug development, and also includes clinical and ethical perspectives from experts in those fields. These explore the broadest health and social implications for this exciting field of science and discovery. The book begins with a discussion of the future clinical impact of genetic diagnosis and gene-based drug therapies. Virally encoded MicroRNA is reviewed, as well as the development of gene-profile-responsive antisense agents. Gene profiles are studied with respect to drug development and cancer research. RNA viruses and RNA-based drugs are also examined. Finally, ethical considerations of this groundbreaking technology are explored. The information presented in this volume provides readers with a greater understanding of the processes and technologies in gene-profile based drug design. Technologies are discussed in sufficient detail so that drug developers can use the book as a general desk reference. It also provides physicians with an important survey of emerging technologies. This book is edited by Brett A. Lidbury and Suresh Mahalingam, noted scientists from the Centre for Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences at the University of Canberra in Australia. They bring together the wisdom of numerous experts to discuss the powerful ways that these new genetic technologies can save lives and improve health. | 1 | null | 0 |

This work examines brief listener responses to shed light on one of the central features of this human togetherness: the listener. Seemingly unobtrusive response tokens such as "yeah", "mm hm", "okay" and "mm" are examined and are actually found to be complex. One objective of this work is to survey the major distinctions between some backchannels, namely those that can be characterized as response tokens: continuers, acknowledgement tokens, newsmarkers and change-of-activity tokens. | 1 | null | 0 |
