This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.

In this volume, originally published in 1966, E. Mary Smallwood
compiles a thorough list of documents and physical artefacts from
the reign of the first three of the Five Good Emperors. It was
Nerva, and his two adopted successors, Trajan and Hadrian, who
paved the way for Rome's Golden Age - each winning the cooperation
and approval of the Roman Senate. Smallwood's text contains an
extensive collection of materials from the societies of these first
'good emperors', complete with indices of significant persons,
coins and other subjects of general relevance. Smallwood quotes
directly from imperial papers and letters, references numerous
busts and statues, and uses laws, currency and minutes of meetings
to compile a fantastic overview of items from this period in Roman
history. This work will remain a highly beneficial research tool
for scholars and historians interested in the detailed study of the
documents and artefacts of this age.
Originally published in 1967, this volume gathers together a broad
range of documents illustrating the successive reigns of three
Roman Emperors: Gaius, Claudius, and Nero. The material is divided
into various chapters representing different aspects of the Empire.
Within each chapter, material is ordered in a roughly chronological
fashion, but there is some grouping according to subject or
geographical area. Documents are presented without translation,
alongside information regarding their source and, where necessary,
contextual descriptions to aid the reader's understanding. This is
a consummately edited book that will be of value to anyone with an
interest in Classical sources and Ancient Rome.
Ten years after the first Rennes international meeting on real
algebraic geometry, the second one looked at the developments in
the subject during the intervening decade - see the 6 survey papers
listed below. Further contributions from the participants on recent
research covered real algebra and geometry, topology of real
algebraic varieties and 16thHilbert problem, classical algebraic
geometry, techniques in real algebraic geometry, algorithms in real
algebraic geometry, semialgebraic geometry, real analytic geometry.
CONTENTS: Survey papers: M. Knebusch: Semialgebraic topology in the
last ten years.- R. Parimala: Algebraic and topological invariants
of real algebraic varieties.- Polotovskii, G.M.: On the
classification of decomposing plane algebraic curves.- Scheiderer,

‘It is God, then, God Himself who is bringing with the Romans fire to purge the Temple and is blotting out the city, brimful of corruption’ Josephus’ account of a war marked by treachery and atrocity is a superbly detailed and evocative record of the Jewish rebellion against Rome between AD 66 and 70. Originally a rebel leader, Josephus changed sides after he was captured to become a Rome-appointed negotiator, and so was uniquely placed to observe these turbulent events, from the siege of Jerusalem to the final heroic resistance and mass suicides at Masada. His account provides much of what we know about the history of the Jews under Roman rule, with vivid portraits of such key figures as the Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, The Jewish War nevertheless remains one of the most immediate accounts of war, its heroism and its horrors, ever written. G. A. Williamson’s translation makes this complex work accessible to the general reader, while E. Mary Smallwood’s revisions bring the benefits of more recent advances in scholarship, making this the definitive edition.
