Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of the late Roman world has a fascinating history. Sometimes an object of derision, sometimes an object of admiration, it has found numerous detractors and defenders among classicists and Latin literary critics. This volume explores the scholarly approaches to late Latin poetry that have developed over the last 40 years, and it seeks especially to develop, complement and challenge the seminal concept of the 'Jeweled Style' proposed by Michael Roberts in 1989. While Roberts's monograph has long been a vade mecum within the world of late antique literary studies, a critical reassessment of its validity as a concept is overdue. This volume invites established and emerging scholars from different research traditions to return to the influential conclusions put forward by Roberts. It asks them to examine the continued relevance of The Jeweled Style and to suggest new ways to engage it. In a joint effort, the nineteen chapters of this volume define and map the jeweled style, extending it to new genres, geographic regions, time periods and methodologies. Each contribution seeks to provide insightful analysis that integrates the last 30 years of scholarship while pursuing ambitious applications of the jeweled style within and beyond the world of late antiquity.

Book excerpt: "The renowned Gallic poet Pacatus Drepanius journeyed to Rome in the summer of AD 389 to deliver a speech to the Emperor Theodosius; both men stood for the first time before the Roman Senators. It was a moment of high political charge. The Latin speech survives and is here presented both in the original and with facing English translation; the introduction and commentary capture the groundbreaking character of the work and set it in its historical, rhetorical and literary contexts. Roger Rees is a Professor of Classics at the University of St Andrews. He is a leading authority on the Latin oratorical collection known as the XII Panegyrici Latini. His publications include Layers of Loyalty in Latin Panegyric 289-307 (2002) and Latin Panegyric (ed., 2012)"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tacitus is universally recognised as ancient Rome's greatest writer of history, and his account of the Roman Empire in the first century AD has been fundamental in shaping the modern perception of Rome and its emperors. This Companion provides a new, up-to-date and authoritative assessment of his work and influence which will be invaluable for students and non-specialists as well as of interest to established scholars in the field. First situating Tacitus within the tradition of Roman historical writing and his own contemporary society, it goes on to analyse each of his individual works and then discuss key topics such as his distinctive authorial voice and his views of history and freedom. It ends by tracing Tacitus' reception, beginning with the transition from manuscript to printed editions, describing his influence on political thought in early modern Europe, and concluding with his significance in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imperial Panegyric from Diocletianto Honorius examines one of the most importantliteratures of the late Roman period - speeches of praise addressed to the reigningemperor - and the panegyrical culture of the late Roman world more generally. Unlikemuch previous work on this topic, Imperial Panegyric takes a consciously comparativeapproach, especially between eastern and western, Greek and Latin texts. Each contributordraws upon evidence taken from multiple authors or from different kinds of panegyricin order to explore both the communal and the particular in this most idiosyncraticof media. The volume investigates to what extent therewas a unified concept of imperial panegyric, and how local circumstances shapedindividual speeches. It also considers the ways in which traditional forms of praise-givingrespond to fourth-century phenomena such as the expansion of Christianity, collegialrulership, and the decline of Rome as the political centre of the empire. Itscontributors include a roster of some of the most important names in the fieldof panegyric studies, both established researchers and the rising stars of thenew generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to make accessible the sources and controversies concerning a key period in the history of the Roman Empire - the reign of Diocletian and its immediate aftermath. Diocletian was an emperor of unusual ambition, and his reign saw considerable military success, an experiment in collegiate government, a move towards provincial capitals away from Rome, a reorganisation of the administrative machinery of empire and its finances, and a committed project to persecute the Christians. In Part I, an introduction to Diocletian and the world of the late third century is followed by six thematic chapters covering a range of aspects of government and society under this emperor, including military, economic, religious and administrative affairs. These chapters discuss the original sources, highlight their strengths and weaknesses, and consider the main scholarly approaches to them. Throughout Part I there are regular cross references to the source material which is presented in Part II - this includes literary, archaeological, artistic, legal, and documentary evidence, as well as coins and inscriptions. All texts are in English, and there is a guide to further reading, a full bibliography, some questions for consideration, a glossary of technical terms, and a brief list of relevant online resources.
