Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. 2008. xxiv, 168pp. B&W illustrations. "Obelisks, originally associated with the sun cult, had their heyday between 2000 and 1500 BC, when they adorned the Nile's banks and proclaimed the splendour of the pharaohs. Today, only twenty-seven Egyptian obelisks remain standing and they are scattered in various locations throughout the world. Rome, with thirteen, boasts more than anywhere else, including Egypt itself. These monolithic structures can be seen in every corner of the 'Eternal City' and still hold a fascination for all who gaze upon them. This book is intended as a general guide to the obelisks that have found their way to the four corners of the earth. It examines the interest shown in them by the Roman emperors; it discusses each obelisk in detail, and traces individual histories and anecdotes concerning their journeys from Egypt. The work is illustrated throughout and translations of some of the relevant historical texts are supplied." The book is in excellent condition with no inscriptions.…

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, Kopfschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / slightly rubbed, top edge slightly soiled, otherwise very good condition. - This is a probing and objective portrayal of the public and private lives of the most famous Carthaginian in history. Under Hannibals leadership, Carthage came close to dominating the western Mediterranean. That he was a brilliant general is unquestioned and his strategy and tactics have been studied as real- life lessons in war, even into the modern era, but on at least three occasions a different strategic choice might have brought him that elusive overall victory. In this engaging study, Dexter Hoyos considers Hannibals enduring reputation and how it has in large part been shaped by the fascination of his enemies - in particular, the Romans. He goes on to ask whether, had Hannibal postponed war with Rome and concentrated first on Carthages own safety, he might have changed the course of history. / CONTENTS Illustrations Preface Hannibals chronology Maps Italy and Sicily in Hannibals time The Western Mediterranean in Hannibals time Southern Italy 216-203 BC The Eastern Mediterranean around 200 BC 1 Introduction: the challenge of Hannibal 2 Family and city 3 Barcids supreme (241-221) 4 Leadership and war (221-216) 5 Hannibal, Carthage and the Mediterranean (216-209) 6 Decline and defeat (209-202) 7 Hannibal in politics (201-195) 8 Hannibal in exile (195-183) 9 Hannibal: memory and myth Bibliography Notes Index.

Original softcover. Condizione: Gut. XXVI, LXIII, 204 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimally rubbed, allover very good condition. / Minimal berieben, insgesamt sehr guter Zustand. - Ovid's rarely studied Ibis is an elegiac companion-piece to the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto written after his banishment to the Black Sea in AD 8. Modelled on a poem of the same name by the Hellenistic poet Callimachus, Ibis stands out as an artistically contrived explosion of vitriol against an unnamed enemy who is characterized in terms of the Egyptian bird with its unprepossessing habits. Based in a tradition of curse-ritual, it is the most difficult of Ovid's poems to penetrate. Robinson Ellis's edition remains an indispensable - if eccentric - platform for the study of the poem's obscurities. This reissue of his 1881 edition includes a new introduction by Gareth Williams, setting the poem in the context of earlier and later developments in modern scholarship. Ellis's edition not only made a significant contribution to research into the Ibis, but it is also an important representative of a particular vein of scholarship prevalent in nineteenth-century Latin study.
