Story0
Da oltre duemila anni, Atene rappresenta molto più che una città nell'immaginario occidentale. Il secolo compreso tra le riforme di distene (508) e la morte di Socrate (399) è diventato modello universale, insieme politico e culturale. Politico perché si ritiene che ad Atene sia stata inventata la democrazia, cioè il regime istituzionale e di governo oggi più diffuso nel mondo. Culturale perché ad Atene fiorirono filosofia, storia, teatro, letteratura, arte e architettura che ancora oggi consideriamo riferimenti obbligati.

Story0
It followed every major military victory in ancient Rome: the successful general drove through the streets to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill; behind him streamed his raucous soldiers; in front were his prisoners, as well as the booty he'd captured, from enemy ships and precious statues to plants and animals from the conquered territory. Occasionally there was so much on display that the show lasted two or three days. A radical reexamination of this most extraordinary of ancient ceremonies, this book explores the magnificence of the Roman triumph, but also its darker side.

Un mondo che si considera prospero e civile, segnato da disuguaglianze e squilibri al suo interno, ma forte di un'amministrazione stabile e di un'economia integrata; all'esterno, popoli costretti a sopravvivere con risorse insufficienti, minacciati dalla fame e dalla guerra, e che sempre più spesso chiedono di entrare; una frontiera militarizzata per filtrare profughi e immigrati.

Story0
Il giorno dopo il Grande incendio, Roma offre uno spettacolo di desolazione e distruzione. Tutto è irriconoscibile: gli edifici collassati sono diventati grandi ammassi di macerie, le strade e i vicoli ora sono degli avvallamenti, mentre nell’aria aleggia un acre odore di bruciato. Molti hanno perso tutto ciò che avevano e i campi per gli sfollati diventano la loro unica casa. Tutti guardano all’imperatore per ripartire, aspettano la sua guida per andare verso il futuro. Ma lui non è né un conquistatore di terre come Cesare, né un costruttore di imperi come Augusto.

Per gli antichi le Sirene erano mostri orripilanti, per metà uccelli e per metà donne. Eppure, esse avevano qualcosa che le rendeva irresistibili: la voce, suadente e ammaliatrice. Insieme ad altre figure mitologiche a loro affini come Circe, Calipso ed Elena, le Sirene sono in questo libro le protagoniste della prima tappa di un cammino che, partendo da Omero e a Omero ritornando, si concentra sull'Atene del V secolo, la città della democrazia e della parola.

A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi. Erősebbek és bölcsebbek ugyan, de közben ugyanolyan esendőek, és ballépéseikkel, felfokozott szerelmi életükkel, veszekedéseikkel bármikor képesek felforgatni az isteni és az emberi világot.

Belief and Cult argues that belief isn't uniquely Christian but was central to ancient Roman religion. Drawing on cognitive theory, Jacob Mackey shows that despite having nothing to do with salvation or faith, belief underlay every aspect of Roman religious practices—emotions, individual and collective cult action, ritual norms, social reality, and social power. In doing so, he also offers a thorough argument for the importance of belief to other non-Christian religions.

Può sembrare curioso, ma attorno al vino ruota una gran parte dell'identità di Greci e Romani: miti, regole di galateo, codici di comportamento, visioni etiche e filosofiche, religione e molto altro ancora. Con il vino gli eroi di Omero pregano, danno ospitalità e siglano accordi; nella Grecia classica il vino è l'imprescindibile fulcro attorno al quale ruota il simposio, quella 'bevuta collettiva' in cui si rafforzano i vincoli d'amicizia, si intrecciano discorsi, si corteggiano ragazzi e cortigiane.

Der Sturm kommt aus Afrika. In nur wenigen Jahren erobern die Mauren, ein Völkergemisch aus Arabern und Berbern, fast die gesamte Iberische Halbinsel. Nur im kargen Norden Spaniens leisten die Menschen von Asturien erfolgreich Gegenwehr. Die Widerstandsnester sind die Keimzellen der späteren Königreiche Kastilien und León. Während Córdoba mit seinen Palästen, Bädern und Bibliotheken erblüht, baut man im Norden Burgen und Kathedralen. Zum Schutzpatron des Kampfes gegen die Muslime avanciert der Apostel Jakobus, der jetzt unter dem Kampfnamen "Matamoros" verehrt wird – der Maurentöter.

Jonathan Harris’s classic text chronologically surveys Byzantine history in the time of the Crusades. The book reveals the attitudes of the Byzantine ruling elites towards the Crusades and their ultimate inability to adapt to the challenges this presented. Using evidence amassed in a wealth of sources, Harris successfully makes the point that Byzantine interactions with Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states is best understood in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility between the peoples.

This volume, aimed at the general audience, presents life and times of the amazing animals that inhabited Earth more than 500 million years ago. The Cambrian Period was a critical time in Earth's history. During this immense span of time nearly every modern group of animals appeared. Although life had been around for more than 2 million millennia, Cambrian rocks preserve the record of the first appearance of complex animals with eyes, protective skeletons, antennae, and complex ecologies.

"Für die "Integrationsbeauftragten" König Nebukadnezars II. müssen die deportierten Israeliten ein Albtraum gewesen sein. Da hatte man sie aus ihrem muffigen Provinzleben im kargen Bergland von Judäa ins quirlige, lebensstrotzende Babylon geholt, wo sich ihnen alle Chancen eines Weltreiches eröffneten, und was taten sie? Sie "saßen an den Flüssen von Babylon und weinten"!" Diese Sätze schrieb unser Gründer und Herausgeber Dr. Franz Metzger vor 15 Jahren, und sie lesen sich heute so aktuell wie damals.

"100 Quotes by Aeschylus" unveils the musings of the originator of tragedy. With topics such as religion, life, love, and death taken to task, Aeschylus offers the 21st-century reader an insight into the thoughts and feelings of the Ancient Greeks. However, what is surprising is just how resonant many of those ideas are today. An outstanding book for those seeking bite-sized nuggets of timeless wisdom. Thought to have been born in Eleusis, Aeschylus (524BC – 456BC) is the subject of both myth and legend. According to the story, at the age of 26, he was working in a vineyard.

Until the publication of this captivating biography, no such volume on Trajan's life has been tailored to the general listener. The unique book illuminates a neglected period of ancient Roman history. Trajan rose from fairly obscure beginnings to become the emperor of Rome. He was born in Italica, an Italic settlement close to modern Seville in present-day Spain, and is the first Roman Emperor to be born outside of Rome. His remarkable rise from officer to general and then to emperor in just over twenty years reveals a shrewd politician who maintained absolute power.

In 1895, archaeologists excavating a villa outside Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman silverware. Among the treasures was a bowl featuring a female figure with thick, curly hair, deep-set eyes, a slightly hooked nose and a strong jaw, and sporting an elephant scalp headdress. Modern scholars believe this woman to be a depiction of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of the infamous Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Using this discovery as her starting point, Jane Draycott recreates the life and times of a remarkable woman.
