Paperback. Condizione: New. Historical Consciousness and the Use of the Past in the Ancient World offers linked essays on uses of the past in prominent and diverse cultures in ancient civilizations across the world. The contributors are leading experts in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Sinology, Biblical Studies, Classics, and Maya Studies. This volume addresses crucial questions in current scholarship on historical consciousness and historiography. These questions include the formation of different traditions and the manifold uses of the past in particular socio-political contexts or circumstances; the ways in which these traditions and these types of cultural memory informed or contributed to the rise of more formal modes of historiography; interactions between formal modes of historiography and other traditions of historical consciousness during their transmission; and the implications of such interactions for cultural heritage, collective memory, and later understandings of history. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume situates the rise of formal modes of historiography within a larger context of developments in historical consciousness and a wider web of intercommunicating discourses. It also uncovers intellectual processes, literary mechanisms, and social institutions involved in the construction of history. During the construction of ancient historiographies, while many local traditions persisted, some ancients gradually went beyond the temporal and spatial limitations of their local traditions, arriving at a more extended and unified timespan, a wider geographical region, and a common origin. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. Oratory and Political Career in the Late Roman Republic is a pioneering investigation into political life in the late Roman Republic. It explores the nature and extent to which Roman politicians embraced oratorical performances as part of their political career and how such performances influenced the careers of individual orators such as Gaius Gracchus, Pompeius Magnus, and Julius Caesar. Through six case studies, this book presents a complex and multifaceted picture of how Roman politicians employed oratory to articulate their personal and political agendas, to present themselves to a public obsessed with individual achievement, and ultimately to promote their individual careers. By dealing specifically with orators other than Cicero, this study offers much-needed alternatives to our understanding of public oratory in Rome. Moreover, the assessment of the impact of public speeches on the development of political careers provides new perspectives on the hotly debated nature of republican political culture.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 2010 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. Henriette van der Blom explores the rhetorical and political strategy adopted by Cicero as a newcomer in Roman republican politics. As an ambitious new man in a political culture which favoured men descended from famous consuls and generals, Cicero had to devise alternative strategies in order to succeed. Through his main means to political power, his oratory, Cicero acknowledged the traditional claim to political office through ancestry and adapted it to his own situation. Instead of referring to the virtues and achievements of his own ancestors, he advertised himself as a follower of chosen models of behaviour from the past - his role models or exempla - to build up and strengthen his public persona and thereby his claim to political office and influence. His treatises provided further opportunities for promoting himself as a political thinker and brilliant orator. Van der Blom discusses the importance of ancestors in Roman political culture and their role as historical examples for emulation before focusing upon Cicero's role models: role models which he employed to present himself as a leading orator, a prominent consul and statesman, a triumphantly recalled exile, and, furthermore, as a role model to his own family, to contemporary Romans, and to posterity.
