The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, 1774 to 1909The Long Nineteenth CenturyThomas W. Gallant, University of California, San Diego

Traces the rich social, cultural, economic and political history of the Greeks

Often referred to as the ‘long nineteenth century’, this period in Greek history conventionally begins with the war of independence in 1821. However, this book adopts a broader geographical scope, encompassing the Greeks of Russia and of the Ottoman Empire, and covers a longer period. As well as looking at identity and migration, this volume examines some key themes that were especially important in shaping the development of Greek culture during the 19th century, including the impact of the formation of the nation-state, the formation of multi-tiered, multinational social structure, and the development of a transnational Greek culture.

The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, c. 500 to 1050The Early Middle AgesFlorin Curta, University of Florida

A new approach to the history of Greece during the Middle ages

‘This very learned and detailed investigation represents an advance in the field … There is no comparable book.’American Historical Review

This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the economic and social history of Greece during the early Middle Ages. From the collapse of the urban economy in the early 7th century to the beginning of prosperity during the first half of the 11th century, it examines the crucial transformations taking place in Greece during the ‘Dark Ages’ and the Middle Byzantine period. Florin Curta adopts a wide-ranging approach which highlights the similarities and differences in the archaeological evidence associated with a range of social and ethnic groups, whose identities were much more fluid than previously imagined.

The Edinburgh History of the Greeks, 1453 to 1774The Ottoman EmpireMolly Greene, Princeton University

Interprets recent Greek scholarship on the period and makes it accessible to a wider audience

Long reviled as 400 years of unrelieved slavery and barbarity – the Turkish yoke – a new generation of scholars is rejecting this monochromatic view in favour of a more nuanced picture of the Greek experience in the Ottoman Empire.

Four main themes provide the foundation for the book and run through the individual chapters: the fate of the 1,000-year Byzantine heritage; the millet system and Ottoman society; the connections between the Greek population and other members of Ottoman society, especially in cultural life; and, the Greeks and Europe.

Defining Greek NarrativeEdited by Douglas Cairns, University of Edinburgh & Ruth Scodel, University of Michigan

Examines what is distinct, what is shared and what is universal in Greek narrative tradition

The ‘Classic’ narratology that has been widely applied to classical texts is aimed at a universal taxonomy for describing narratives. More recently, ‘new narratologies’ have begun linking the formal characteristics of narrative to their historical and ideological contexts. This volume attempts such a rethinking for Greek literature. It has two closely related objectives: to define what is characteristically Greek in Greek narratives of different periods and genres, and to see how narrative techniques and concerns develop over time.

Courts and Elites in the Hellenistic EmpiresThe Near East After the Achaemenids, c. 330 to 30 bceRolf Strootman, University of Utrecht

The first complete study of royal courts in the post-Achaemenid Near East

Rolf Strootman brings together aspects of court culture in the Macedonian empires of the Seleukids, Antigonids and Ptolemies during the Hellenistic Period. He shows how Alexander the Great and his successors reshaped their Persian and Greco-Macedonian legacies to create a new kind of rulership that was neither ‘western’ nor ‘eastern’ and would profoundly influence the later development of court culture and monarchy in both the Roman West and Iranian East. Drawing on the socio-political models of Norbert Elias and Charles Tilly, Strootman demonstrates how the Hellenistic dynastic courts were instrumental in the integration of local elites in the empires, and the (re)distribution of power, wealth, and status. He analyses the competition among courtiers for royal favour and the, not always successful, attempts of the Hellenistic rulers to use these struggles to their own advantage.

Early Rome to 290 bcThe Beginnings of the City and the Rise of the RepublicGuy Bradley, Cardiff University

The emergence of Rome as an imperial power

In the first few centuries of its existence, Rome developed from a minor settlement on the Tiber into the most powerful city-state in Italy. This book examines the reasons for Rome’s success within a highly competitive Italian environment, and explains how many of Rome’s key characteristics, such as its powerful ruling elite, its stable political institutions, its openness to outsiders, and its intensely militaristic society, were shaped by their origins in the monarchy and early Republic.

The End of the Roman Republic 146 to 44 bcConquest and CrisisCatherine Steel, University of Glasgow

A crucial and turbulent century for the Roman Republic

In the century following 146 bc, Rome consolidated its power into an immense territorial empire. At the same time, the internal balance of power shifted dramatically, a process which culminated in the civil war between Pompey and Caesar and the re-establishment of monarchy. Catherine Steel focuses on the issues of freedom, honour, power, greed and ambition, and the cherished but abused institutions of the Republic which were central to events.

Augustan Rome 44 bc to ad 14The Restoration of the Republic and the Establishment of the EmpireJ. S. Richardson, University of Edinburgh

Augustus: How the Roman Empire came about

‘This is a valuable and unique addition to the proliferating surveys of the age of Augustus. It stands out for its detailed coverage of the political as well as military history of the whole period, the latter of which is often underemphasized in teaching, despite its lasting impact. Instructors interested in training students in how to write history with such a focus will welcome it warmly.’Bryn Mawr Classical Review

The reign of Augustus has been seen, both by contemporaries and over the centuries that have followed, as a pivotal moment in the history of Rome. The final stage in the move to monarchical government and the structures he put in place, which were to last largely unchanged for over 200 years, ensured this; but Augustus himself remains an enigmatic figure. J. S. Richardson explores the processes which resulted in such a massive shift, and the often unforeseen events which led to the establishment of an empire and a dynasty.

Imperial Rome ad 14 to192The First Two CenturiesJonathan Edmondson, York University, Canada

Covers Rome and its empire from Tiberius to Commodus

Despite an uneven quality to the imperial line – including a suicide (Nero) and two assassinations (Caligula and Domitian) – this was a period of imperial consolidation and some expansion. The society and economy of Rome and its empire thrived for the most part under the twin blessings of an efficient administration and a near invincible army. Jonathan Edmondson interweaves a narrative of the main events with an analysis of the key underlying themes.

• Reveals how the evolving political relationship resulted in the redefinition of what it meant to be ‘Roman’

• Argues that power still depended largely on the personality and preferences of the emperor

• Stresses the military image of the Roman Princeps and describes continuing the military expansion

Imperial Rome ad 193 to 284The Critical CenturyClifford Ando, University of Chicago

Traces the history of Rome during a period of unprecedented foreign crises and religious change

‘Provides an excellent gateway to one of the most confusing and intriguing periods in Roman imperial history.’Sehepunkte

The Roman empire during the period framed by the accession of Septimus Severus in 193 and the rise of Diocletian in 284 has conventionally been regarded as one of crisis. Between 235 and 284, at least eighteen men held the throne of the empire, for an average of less than three years, a reckoning which does not take into account all the relatives and lieutenants with whom those men shared power.

The middle of the century also witnessed catastrophic, if temporary, ruptures in the territorial integrity of the empire. Large portions of the eastern and western halves of the empire passed under the control of powers and principalities who assumed the mantle of Roman government and exercised meaningful and legitimate power over millions.

Clifford Ando describes and integrates the contrasting histories of different parts of the empire and assesses the impacts of administrative, political and religious change.

Diocletian and his principal successor, Constantine, ruled the Roman world for over half a century and Constantine’s sons built on that legacy. Administrative reform encouraged the rise of a bureaucratic culture, provincial government was reshaped and the court became more structured. The period was also one of momentous religious change.

The transformation of the Roman world under the combined impact of Christianity and barbarian incomers

Control of the west was lost during the 5th century, and the empire’s centre of gravity had shifted irrevocably to the east, with its focal point now the city of Constantinople. At the same time Christianity became increasingly dominant in religious life, politics, society and culture. A. D. Lee charts these and other significant developments.

Explores Achaemenid kingship and argues for the centrality of the royal court in elite Persian society

‘Llewellyn-Jones blends an easy mastery of widely disparate sources with a clear-cut, jargon-free prose style.’ London Review of Books

The first Persian Empire (559-331 bce) was the biggest land empire the world had seen, and seated at the heart of its vast dominions, in the south of modern-day Iran, was the person of the Great King. Hidden behind the walls of his vast palace, and surrounded by the complex rituals of court ceremonial, the Persian monarch was undisputed master of his realm, a god-like figure of awe, majesty, and mystery.

Augustus brought peace and stability to Rome after decades of strife and uncertainty, putting in place a new institutional framework for the Roman Empire and inspiring the ideology that sustained it for the next 300 years. The papers in this volume discuss a range of topics including: Augustus’ dramatic rise to prominence following the death of Julius Caesar in 44 bc; his policy on overseas wars; his concern to reinforce Roman religion and family life; the importance of visual imagery in developing his image as leader; and the impact of his regime on the Roman provinces.

NEW IN PAPERBACK

New FrontiersLaw and Society in the Roman WorldPaul du Plessis, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, University of Edinburgh

An interdisciplinary, edited collection on social science methodologies for approaching Roman legal sources

Roman law as a field of study is rapidly evolving to reflect new perspectives and approaches in research. Scholars who work on the subject are increasingly being asked to conduct research in an interdisciplinary manner whereby Roman law is not merely seen as a set of abstract concepts devoid of any background, but as a body of law which operated in a specific social, economic and cultural context. This ‘context based’ approach to the study of Roman law is an exciting new field which legal historians must address.

Key Features• Contributes to the debate on the interface

between legal history and ancient history• Focuses on larger emerging themes such

as the interaction between legal theory and practice, Roman legal thought, and law and economics

• Brings together a distinguished group of scholars who provide different perspectives
