Paperback. Condizione: Fine. The Foundation of Rome ? Myth and History (1997) by Alexandre Grandazzi ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books) Rome wasn?t built in a day, but Alexandre Grandazzi does a fine job of showing how the stories about its beginnings were. The Foundation of Rome ? Myth and History (Cornell University Press, 1997, ISBN: 9780801482472) is part archaeology, part philology, part myth-busting detective story. Grandazzi digs into the legends of Romulus and Remus, the she-wolf, the seven hills, and the gods who apparently moonlighted as city planners. He then weighs them against the spadework of modern archaeology to figure out how much of Rome?s foundation story is heroic myth and how much is historical bedrock. What emerges is a portrait of early Rome that?s both dazzling and a little chaotic: a city born from legend, ritual, and opportunistic settlers who may or may not have had wolfish foster mothers. This isn?t just a parade of marble statues; it?s the messy, fascinating, contested story of how Romans themselves wanted to imagine their origins. Reading it feels a bit like being at a dinner party where Livy, Virgil, and a modern archaeologist are all trying to talk over each other. As for the copy: this one comes from the proudly battered shelves of Crappy Old Books and is rated Good . That means the cover shows light wear (a scuff here, a crease there, the literary equivalent of a chipped amphora), the pages may have mellowed to a pleasant shade of parchment, and the spine has done its duty without collapsing. No missing leaves, no barbarian graffiti, no suspicious stains from libations to Jupiter. Just a strong, seasoned copy, intact and ready to conquer your bookshelf. In short: The Foundation of Rome is an engrossing exploration of how myth and history interwove to create the eternal city?s origin story. This copy is in Good condition: sturdy, readable, and carrying just enough wear to look appropriately venerable. Another imperial find from Crappy Old Books, where even Romulus himself would give a nod of approval.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Alexandre Grandazzi, Cornell University Press. At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history, The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks, for example, at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth.Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating, and he writes with clarity, verve, and wit. Paperback.
