Synopsis

Book by Syme Sir Ronald

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Shortly before his death in September 1989, Sir Ronald Syme approved the selection and publication of these fifty-nine papers. Volume VI, composed of previously published articles and reviews, offers a splendid cross-section of Syme's interests: the Roman revolution; the Augustan aristocracy; Tacitus and Sallust; historical geography; the Roman army; a variety of classical authors (Horace, Ovid, Strabo, Seneca, Justin, the Historia Augusta); the Emperor Hadrian; colonial elites; historiography, ancient and modern; and Roman political thought and society. Volume VII consists of twelve unpublished papers (originally intended to form part of a separate book, `Pliny and Italia Transpadana'), in which the two Plinies and their age are put under searching scrutiny. It is rounded off by a Latin text purporting to derive from a lost book of Tacitus' Histories (duly equipped with commentary); and by an Index to both volumes.

Revue de presse :

Even more striking than the work's wide geographical scope is the range of approaches and techniques deployed. The extraordinarily detailed nature of the scholarship goes without saying. Anatolica is a splendid and valuable collection of both detailed and far reaching studies, tackling and satisfactorily solving many apparently intractable textual and historical problems. - Katherine Clarke - Gnomon 1999 No. 5
