Studies in Classical History and Society (Hardcover)

This collection of essays by Meyer Reinhold will be the first volume published by Oxford University Press in conjunction with the American Philological Association. Professor Reinhold, a distinguished senior classicist, has produced a fascinating and accessible collection of essays devoted to the study of ancient history. Among the articles included are The Generation Gap, a major survey exploring the myths of the uprising of one generation against another and the effects of these myths on classical civilisation; Augustus' Conception of Himself, a detailed summary and interretation of Augustus' life and career; and The Declaration of War against Cleopatra, an article investigating the charge against Cleopatra that she betrayed her pledge to Rome as a client ruler by aiding Antony in a war against Italy. Taken together, the essays in Studies in Classical History and Society form a unified and coherent survey of ancient history that will appeal to a broad audience.
