About this Item

XII, 160 p., plates. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly yellowed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht vergilbter Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - To ancient historians, the evidence of contemporary documents is an indispensable complement to the literary sources. This collection for the years a.d. 68-96, drawn from inscriptions, papyri and coins, makes easily accessible to students of the period the important documents of the Principates of the Flavian emperors. It is designed to illustrate the history of the Roman world at a critical stage of its development. The extent of the commentary has been limited to allow the inclusion of the largest possible number of texts. The general method of presentation follows that of V. Ehrenberg and A. H. M. Jones in their Documents illustrating the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius. The editors have tried to maintain a reasonable balance between the various subjects under which the documents are grouped, and have kept references to a minimum by providing a comparative table in an Appendix. Documents of later date bearing on the Flavian period are not included; but the collection is intended to be used as a basis for further addition and annotation, and space for these is provided. The work will be of value to undergraduates interested in ancient history as well as to more advanced classical scholars. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Original cloth with dust jacket.
