New Perspectives on the Roman Civil Wars of 49-30 Bce, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Offering new and original approaches to the Roman civil wars of 49-30 BCE, this book explores eleven papers which shed light on this crucial moment in the forging of Roman identity. They engage with a variety of problems and topics in political discourse (diplomacy, the concept of libertas, divine paternity); socio-economic structures (allied rulers, military officials, civil war finances, Agrippa's family); material culture (the coinage of Julius Caesar, the physical remains of Corfinium); and literary commemoration (Sallust on trauma, the lost Histories of Asinius Pollio)"--
