Rome, Polybius, and the East (Hardcover, New): The late Peter Derow Rome, Polybius, and the East (Hardcover, New)
The late Peter Derow; Edited by Andrew Erskine, Josephine Crawley Quinn
R3,827 R3,004 Discovery Miles 30 040 Save R823 (22%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Rome, Polybius, and the East offers a collection of seventeen of the more important papers written by the late Peter Derow, Hody Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at Wadham College, Oxford, during the course of his career. With a detailed introduction by the editors, the papers make up a distinctive and influential body of work-essential reading for anyone interested in Roman imperialism or Polybius, and Rome's rise to Mediterranean power. They include Derow's classic survey articles on the Roman conquest of the East, the great Greek historian Polybius, his investigations of the Roman calendar, and several papers on epigraphy. It also contains a bibliography of Derow's work.

The Hellenistic West - Rethinking the Ancient Mediterranean (Paperback): Jonathan R.W. Prag, Josephine Crawley Quinn The Hellenistic West - Rethinking the Ancient Mediterranean (Paperback)
Jonathan R.W. Prag, Josephine Crawley Quinn
R1,413 Discovery Miles 14 130 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Although the Hellenistic period has become increasingly popular in research and teaching in recent years, the western Mediterranean is rarely considered part of the 'Hellenistic world'; instead the cities, peoples and kingdoms of the West are usually only discussed insofar as they relate to Rome. This book contends that the rift between the 'Greek East' and the 'Roman West' is more a product of the traditional separation of Roman and Greek history than a reflection of the Hellenistic-period Mediterranean, which was a strongly interconnected cultural and economic zone, with the rising Roman republic just one among many powers in the region, east and west. The contributors argue for a dynamic reading of the economy, politics and history of the central and western Mediterranean beyond Rome, and in doing so problematise the concepts of 'East', 'West' and 'Hellenistic' itself.

The Punic Mediterranean - Identities and Identification from Phoenician Settlement to Roman Rule (Hardcover): Josephine Crawley... The Punic Mediterranean - Identities and Identification from Phoenician Settlement to Roman Rule (Hardcover)
Josephine Crawley Quinn, Nicholas C. Vella
R3,433 Discovery Miles 34 330 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The role of the Phoenicians in the economy, culture and politics of the ancient Mediterranean was as large as that of the Greeks and Romans, and deeply interconnected with that 'Classical' world, but their lack of literature and their Oriental associations mean that they are much less well-known. This book brings the state of the art in international scholarship on Phoenician and Punic studies to an English-speaking audience, collecting new papers from fifteen leading voices in the field from Europe and North Africa, with a bias towards the younger generation. Focusing on a series of case-studies from the colonial world of the western Mediterranean, it is the first volume in any language to address the questions of what 'Phoenician' and 'Punic' actually mean, how 'Punic' or western Phoenician identity has been constructed by ancients and moderns, the coherency of Punic culture, and whether there was in fact a 'Punic world'.
