Book Description
"Roman in the Provinces: Art on the Periphery of Empire" accompanies an exhibition of the same name that will open at Yale University Art Gallery in August 2014 and will travel to the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College in February 2015. With objects assembled primarily from Yale University Art Gallery s world-class Roman and Byzantine collection and including a few significant loans from other institutions, "Roman in the Provinces" explores the varied ways in which different individuals, groups, and regions across the empire reacted to being Roman. Drawing especially on materials from Yale University s excavations at Gerasa and Dura-Europos, the exhibit presents material chronologically and geographically distant from imperial Rome. This focus encourages better characterization and understanding of the local responses and multiple identities in the provinces as they were expressed through material culture. Contributors to this publication offer new scholarship on a wide range of subjects, including religious practices, military customs, and epigraphy, with the common aim of ascertaining what the Roman Empire was actually like and how scholars should approach its study today.

Book Description
The Romans succeeded in less than fifty-three years in subjecting almost the whole inhabited world of their rule. This book tells the story of the rise of Rome from its origins as a cluster of villages to the foundation of the Roman Empire by Augustus and its consolidation in the first two centuries AD. It also discusses some aspects of the later Empire and its influence on western civilizations, not least through the adoption of Christianity. Chapters dealing with social and political history are interspersed with chapters on literature, philosophy, and the arts: the conquests of Rome; Roman Emperors; Plautus, Terence, Virgil and Roman literature; Roman historians such as Tacitus and Livy; Stoicism and Scepticism; and Roman art and architecture are among the topics dealt with. The historical framework of the book is reinforced by maps and chronological charts; there are bibliographies and a full index; and the book is profusely and aptly illustrated with colour and black-and-white illustrations.

Book Description
Not much has happened in the Roman Empire since 1994 that required the first edition to be updated, but Bunson, a prolific reference and history author, has revised it, incorporated new findings and thinking, and changed the dating style to C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before Common Era). For the 500 years from Julius Caesar and the Gallic Wars in 59-51 B.C.E. to the fall of the empire in the west in 476 C.E, he discusses personalities, terms, sites, and events. There is very little cross-referencing.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. ROMAN GERMANY AND THE FREE GERMANS. The two Roman provinces of Upper and Lower Germany were the result of that defeat of the Roman Limitation of, . _ DEGREES Roman or- arms and ot Koman policy under the reign of Augustus which has been already (p. 60 f.) described. The original province of Germany, which embraced the country from the Rhine to the Elbe, subsisted only twenty years, from the first campaign of u. Drusus, 742 u.c., down to the battle of Varus DEGREES d 9 and the fall of Aliso, 762 u.c.; but as, on the one hand, it included the military camps on the left bank of the Rhine--Vindonissa, Mogontiacum, Vetera--and, on the other hand, even after that disaster, more or less considerable portions of the right bank remained Roman, the governorship and the command were not, in a strict sense, done away by that catastrophe, although they were, so to speak, placed in suspense. The internal organisation of the Three Gauls has been already set forth; they embraced the whole country as far as the Rhine without distinction of descent--except that the Ubii, who had only been brought over to settle in Gaul during the last crises, did not belong to the sixty-four cantons, while the Helvetii, the Triboci, and generally the districts elsewhere held in occupation by the Rhenish troops, doubtless did so belong. The intention had been to gather together the German cantons between the Rhine and Elbe into a similar association under Roman supremacy, as had been constituted in the case of the Gallic cantons, and to bestow upon it, in the altar to Augustus of the Ubian town--the germ of the modern Cologne--an executive centre similar to that which the altar of Augustus of Lyons formed for Gaul; for the more remote future the transference
