Roman Honor
Author: Carlin A. Barton
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520404343
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This book is an attempt to coax Roman history closer to the bone, to the breath and matter of the living being. Drawing from a remarkable array of ancient and modern sources, Carlin Barton offers the most complex understanding to date of the emotional and spiritual life of the ancient Romans. Her provocative and original inquiry focuses on the sentiments of honor that shaped the Romans' sense of themselves and their society. Speaking directly to the concerns and curiosities of the contemporary reader, Barton brings Roman society to life, elucidating the complex relation between the inner life of its citizens and its social fabric. Though thoroughly grounded in the ancient writings—especially the work of Seneca, Cicero, and Livy—this book also draws from contemporary theories of the self and social theory to deepen our understanding of ancient Rome. Barton explores the relation between inner desires and social behavior through an evocative analysis of the operation, in Roman society, of contests and ordeals, acts of supplication and confession, and the sense of shame. As she fleshes out Roman physical and psychological life, she particularly sheds new light on the consequential transition from republic to empire as a watershed of Roman social relations. Barton's ability to build productively on both old and new scholarship on Roman history, society, and culture and her imaginative use of a wide range of work in such fields as anthropology, sociology, psychology, modern history, and popular culture will make this book appealing for readers interested in many subjects. This beautifully written work not only generates insight into Roman history, but also uses that insight to bring us to a new understanding of ourselves, our modern codes of honor, and why it is that we think and act the way we do.

Book Description
"A badge and a gun doesn't automatically make a police officer mentally and physically capable of dealing with violent South Central Los Angeles gang members. Only a few officers ... are willing to do what it takes to get the results ... to "kick ass and take names later." Behind the reassuring smiles, gold badges and neatly pressed uniforms are twisted views and immoral actions. This book is ... about what goes on inside the minds of the officers who make the decision to cross the line in the name of justice."--Preface.

Pages : 447
Book Description
It’s been ten years since the ancestral lands of the Free Dwarf clans were conquered by the residents of the Abyss. Forced to take refuge in King Golloch’s great dwarven empire, the surviving free dwarves have scraped by as second-class citizens among their imperial brethren. Reduced to refugees, the Free Dwarves chaff under Golloch’s authoritarian rule, and are determined to one day reclaim their homes from the Abyssal Dwarves. Dinnidek, the young leader of the remnants of Clan Daamuz, fed up with the lies of Golloch’s court, hatches a plan to bring his people out of exile and retake their clan hold. With the help of his sister Diessa (the clan Stone Priest), his brother Daerun, and the other clan thanes, Dinnidek will lead his people across the High Sea of Bari, back to a land filled with nightmares. The journey will test the clan’s very existence, but honor demands that they risk it all for the clan’s survival.
