Synopsis

Before his death in late 1989, Sir Ronald Syme approved the publication of these 59 papers on Roman history which complete this collection of his life's work. Volume VI covers such varied topics as Human Rights and Social Status at Rome, Marriage Ages for Roman Senators, Oligarchy at Rome: A Paradigm for Political Science, Military Geography at Rome, Diet on Capri, A Dozen Early Priesthoods, and Some Unrecognized Authors from Spain . Volume VII contains solely later, unpublished work which was still in manuscript form at the time of Sir Ronald's death. The final item is a spoof on Tacitus, comprising a Latin text on the story of Titus and Berenice with historical commentary. The work is aimed at scholars and students of Roman history, Roman literature, Roman philosophy, and classics.

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 Volume VII consists of twelve unpublished papers (originally intended to form part of a separate book, `Pliny and Italia Transpadana'), in which the two Plinies and their age are put under searching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
