Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 356-372. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, longtime editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Folded lengthwise, binding stained, name of the author handwritten on the cover, 1 note, otherwise clean. - From the text: The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the principal lines of approach which have been taken to the career of Appius Claudius Caecus in the hope of formulating a view of the censor which is neither over-dramatized nor, on the other hand, so muted as to deny recognition to those aspects of his political behaviour which so greatly exercised his contemporaries. In so doing, I will argue that previous studies of Appius career have sought in the wrong places for an explanation of the political rivalry between him and his opponents and I will offer an interpretation of his censorial acts - and of one of them in particular - which, I believe, may account for this rivalry.
