Seller: Scrinium Classical Antiquity, Aalten, Netherlands
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Cambridge University Press, 2015. 328p. Paperback. Series: Greek Culture in the Roman World. 'This work is an important crystallization of a particular (and predominant) point of view regarding the operation, transmission, and evolution of culture in the Greek East. It is a skillful, provocative, beautifully flawed work that annoyed and delighted in equal measure, and is essential reading for anyone working on Roman Greece or issues of cultural interaction more broadly. In reference to art, Simon Schama said that you can identify a great work when you turn your back on it and still feel its presence.6 By that definition, Spawforth will be at our backs for some time to come.' (DANIEL R. STEWART in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2012.12.04).

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, overall very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - CONTENTS: Introduction by Tony Spawforth -- 1. New out of old? Court and court ceremonies in Achaemenid Persia by Maria Brosius -- 2. King, court and royal representation in the Sasanian empire by Josef Wiesehöfer -- 3. The court of Alexander the Great between Europe and Asia by Tony Spawforth -- 4. Friends in high places: the creation of the court of the Roman emperor by Jeremy Paterson -- 5. The imperial court of the Late Roman Empire, c. AD300 - c. AD450 by Rowland Smith -- 6. The imperial court in Han China by Hans van Ess -- 7. Court and palace in ancient Egypt: the Amarna period and later Eighteenth Dynasty by Kate Spence. - Monarchy was widespread as a political system in the ancient world. This volume offers the first substantial discussion of ancient monarchies from the viewpoint of the rulers court. The monarchies treated are Achaemenid and Sasanian Persia, the empire of Alexander, Rome under both the early and later Caesars, the Han rulers of China and Egypts Eighteenth Dynasty. A comparative approach is adopted to major aspects of ancient courts, including their organisation and physical setting, their role as a vehicle for display, and their place in monarchial structures of power and control. This approach is broadly inspired by work on courts in later periods of history, especially early-modern France. The case studies confirm that ancient monarchies created the conditions for the emergence of a court and court society. The culturally specific conditions in which these monarchies functioned meant variety in the character of the rulers court from one society to another. - A. J. S. Spawforth is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Newcastle. His publications include Hellenistic and Roman Sparta: A Tale of Two Cities (with Paul Cartledge, 2nd edition 2002), The Complete Greek Temples (2006) and, co-edited with Simon Hornblower, The Oxford Classical Dictionary (3rd edition revised 2003).

Condition: Sehr gut. VIII, 319 p., ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - CONTENTS: 1. Introduction: Greece and the Augustan age -- 2. Athenian eloquence and Spartan arms -- 3. The noblest actions of the Greeks -- 4. The gifts of the gods -- 5. Constructed beauty -- 6. Hadrian and the legacy of Augustus -- Conclusion. - This book examines the impact of the Roman cultural revolution under Augustus on the Roman province of Greece. It argues that the transformation of Roman Greece into a classicising museum was a specific response of the provincial Greek elites to the cultural politics of the Roman imperial monarchy. Against a background of Roman debates about Greek culture and Roman decadence, Augustus promoted the ideal of a Roman debt to a classical Greece rooted in Europe and morally opposed to a stereotyped Asia. In Greece the regime signalled its admiration for Athens, Sparta, Olympia and Plataea as symbols of these past Greek glories. Cued by the Augustan monarchy, provincial-Greek notables expressed their Roman orientation by competitive cultural work (revival of ritual; restoration of buildings) aimed at further emphasising Greeces classical legacy. Reprised by Hadrian, the Augustan construction ofclassical Greece helped to promote the archaism typifying Greek culture under the principate. - A. J. S. Spawforth is Professor of Ancient History at the School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University. His distinguished list of publications includes Hellenistic and Roman Sparta: A Tale of Two Cities (1989; 2nd edn 2002 co-author with Paul Cartledge); The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd edn (1996; revised 2003 co-editor with Simon Hornblower, and contributor); Greece: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (2001 co-author with Christopher Mee); The Complete Greek Temples (2006); and The Court and Court Society in Ancient Monarchies (Cambridge, 2007 editor and contributor).
