CAMBRIDGE CLASSICAL TEXTS AND

T H E A N NA L S OF

TAC I T U S BOOK S 5 A ND 6 A . J. WOODM A N

Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus¹ Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius.

Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. The volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was proposed by Lipsius, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters.

An Appendix discusses ‘The Tacitean Tiberius’. The volume rounds off the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of Tacitus¹ Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996).

Spanning the entire history of the city of Rome from an Iron Age village to a modern metropolis, this is the first book to take the long view of the Eternal City as an urban organism.Three thousand years old and counting, Rome has thrived almost from the start on self-reference, supplementing the everyday concerns of urban management and planning by projecting its own past onto the city of the moment.

This is a study of the urban processes by which Rome’s people and leaders, both as custodians of its illustrious past and as agents of its expansive power, have shaped and conditioned its urban fabric by manipulating geography and organizing space; planning infrastructure; designing and presiding over mythmaking, ritual, and stagecraft; controlling resident and transient populations; and exploiting Rome’s standing as a seat of global power and a religious capital.

A guide to classical images of myth and also a critical history of classical archaeology’s attempts to give meaning to pictures, this book establishes a dialogue with the wider field of art history and proposes a new framework for the study of ancient visual culture. It will be essential reading not just for students of classical art history and archaeology, but for anyone interested in the possibilities – and the history – of studying visual culture.

Thomas R. Martin

Pericles was the most famous leader of the most famous ancient Greek democracy – and also extremely controversial in his own time and ever since. Was he a brutal imperialist ready to oppress other Greeks, or a clear-eyed defender of Athens’ need for power to survive in a relentlessly hostile world? How did his intellectual training in ideas that many Athenians regarded as dangerous make him the most persuasive leader Athenian democracy ever knew? Why was his personal lifestyle so idiosyncratic? How should we evaluate his responsibility for the suffering and loss of the Peloponnesian War? Thomas R. Martin’s unique emphasis on the effect on Pericles of his family’s notorious history, his youthful experiences as a wartime refugee, and his unusual education reveals a brilliant politician whose hyperrationality could not, in the end, protect him or his community from tragedy.

The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek

Publication August 2017

Evert van Emde Boas University of Oxford

Albert Rijksbaron Universiteit van Amsterdam

Luuk Huitink Universität Heidelberg

and Mathieu de Bakker Universiteit van Amsterdam

This is the first full-scale reference grammar of classical Greek in English in a century, and the first work of its kind that reflects significant advances in linguistics made in the past few decades. It offers students, teachers and academics a comprehensive yet user-friendly treatment. The chapters on phonology and morphology make full use of insights from comparative and historical linguistics to elucidate complex systems of roots, stems and endings. The syntax offers linguistically up-to-date descriptions of such topics as case usage, tense and aspect, voice, subordinate clauses, infinitives and participles. An innovative section on textual coherence treats particles and word order, and discusses several sample passages in detail demonstrating new ways of approaching Greek texts. Throughout the book numerous original examples are offered, all with translations and often with clarifying notes. Clearly laid-out tables, helpful cross-references and full indexes make the book accessible for a variety of users.

Fifty Texts with Translations and Linguistic Commentary Edited by J. N. Adams

Text and Vocabulary Second edition Peter Jones Friends of Classics

and Keith Sidwell

All Souls College, Oxford

University of Calgary

This book contains over fifty passages of Latin from 200 BC to AD 900, each with translation and linguistic commentary.

It is not intended as an elementary reader (though suitable for university courses), but as an illustrative history of Latin covering more than a millennium, with almost every century represented.

Conventional histories cite constructions out of context, whereas this work gives a sense of the period, genre, stylistic aims and idiosyncrasies of specific passages. ‘Informal’ texts, particularly if they portray talk, reflect linguistic variety and change better than texts adhering to classicising norms. Some of the texts are recent discoveries or little known.

Writing tablets are well represented, as are literary and technical texts down to the early medieval period, when striking changes appear. The commentaries identify innovations, discontinuities and phenomena of long duration. Readers will learn much about the diversity and development of Latin.

A bestselling Latin course designed to help mature beginners read classical Latin fluently and intelligently. The Text and Vocabulary presents a series of carefully graded original classical Latin texts, initially adapted but later unadulterated. It accompanies the Grammar and Exercises volume, but could be used as a self-standing beginner’s reader.

Colloquial and Literary Latin Edited by Eleanor Dickey University of Reading

and Anna Chahoud Trinity College, Dublin

How did the Latin of casual conversation differ from that of formal writing?

How much colloquial Latin appears in surviving literature, and how can we tell? Twenty-six of the world’s leading Latin scholars discuss these and other questions, making a major scholarly debate accessible in English for the first time.

‘If, in a postmodern academy, the old ‘Vulgar Latin’ project of trying to recover the ways the Roman really spoke now seems hopelessly passé, this collection is unsurpassed for its studies of how they represented their speech. Something at least in this book will be required reading for everyone researching both Latin literature and Latin linguistics.’

HIGHLIGHT TEXTBOOK

An Introduction to the Composition and Analysis of Greek Prose Eleanor Dickey University of Reading

This work is aimed at university students and others who have a passive knowledge of ancient Greek and would like an active command of the language. It provides a structured review of grammar and syntax together with clear explanations, examples, and large numbers of exercises both with and without key.

‘Eleanor Dickey’s book is nothing short of a complete, stand-alone Greek prose composition course, one that touches on the sorts of skills and practice found in recent studies to be essential to language acquisition: alternating composition with reading and analysis of sentences in the target language, constant self-testing, engaging students’ recall, interleaving various types of exercises, regularly revisiting common structures, and recontextualizing important skills.

There is simply no other Greek prose composition book like it.’

Classical literature Simonides the Poet Intertextuality and Reception Richard Rawles University of Edinburgh

Simonides is tantalising and enigmatic, known both from fragments and from an extensive tradition of anecdotes. This book employs a diachronic approach.

It first reads Simonidean fragments with attention to their intertextual relationship with earlier works and traditions, and then explores Simonides through his ancient reception.

Slave Theater in the Roman Republic Plautus and Popular Comedy Amy Richlin University of California, Los Angeles

This book reappraises this fourthcentury Latin poet’s use of storytelling and poetics for political propaganda. It argues that Claudian creates a Stilicho who is an epic hero, gigantic barbarians, and a universe under threat of chaos, and thereby retells the story of his patron, and convinces his audience of his political agenda.

University of Western Ontario

A fresh and wide-ranging exploration of the themes of conflict and consensus across the early Greek hexameter tradition in all of its variety. It focuses to an unprecedented extent on issues of poetics and metapoetics, thus offering new insights into the processes of reception and canonisation of Greek epic.

This book offers a new interpretation of ancient Greek sacrifice from a cultural poetic perspective. Through close readings of key texts and the evidence from material culture, it argues that the ritual of sacrifice operates as a cultural mechanism for the perpetuation of patriarchal ideology throughout Greek cultural history.

KEY REFERENCE

A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature Edited by Victoria Moul King’s College London

Latin was for many centuries the common literary language of Europe, and Latin literature of immense range, stylistic power and social and political significance was produced throughout Europe and beyond from the time of Petrarch (c.1400) well into the eighteenth century. This is the first available work devoted specifically to the enormous wealth and variety of neoLatin literature, and offers both essential background to the understanding of this material and sixteen chapters by leading scholars which are devoted to individual forms. Each contributor relates a wide range of fascinating but now little-known texts to the handful of more familiar Latin works of the period, such as Thomas More’s Utopia, Milton’s Latin poetry and the works of Petrarch

Classical literature and Erasmus. All Latin is translated throughout the volume.

The Annals of Tacitus Books 5 and 6 Edited by A. J. Woodman University of Virginia

Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus’ Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius.

Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. The volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was proposed by Lipsius, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters. An Appendix discusses ‘The Tacitean Tiberius’. The volume rounds off the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of Tacitus’ Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996).

Dionysius: The Epic Fragments Edited and translated by Amin Benaissa University of Oxford

This is the most comprehensive edition to date of the fragments of the Greek epic poet Dionysius, who probably flourished in the first century CE. His Bassarica is the earliest known poem on the conquest of India by the god Dionysus and was an important model of Nonnus’ Dionysiaca. His Gigantias related the battle of the giants against the Olympian gods and legends surrounding it, with particular focus on the figure of Heracles. Dionysius is a key transitional figure in the history of Greek poetry, sharing stylistic and thematic tendencies with both the learned Hellenistic tradition and the monumental epic poetry of the later Roman period.

This edition expands our number of

Classical literature / Classical art, architecture fragments of the Bassarica and close reinspection of the papyri has resulted in a substantially improved and more reliable text. The book also includes an extensive introduction contextualizing Dionysius’ poetry, a facing English translation, and a detailed commentary.

Case Western Reserve University, Ohio

Katherine Wentworth Rinne

This book offers the first critical study of the architecture of the Roman triumph, ancient Rome’s most important victory ritual. Through case studies ranging from the republican to imperial periods, it demonstrates how powerfully monuments shaped Roman experience of military victory and, consequently, of Roman identity.

University of California, Berkeley

and Spiro Kostof University of California, Berkeley

This is the first urban history of Rome to span its entire three-thousand-year history. It examines the processes by which Rome’s leaders have shaped its urban fabric by organizing space, planning infrastructure, designing ritual, controlling populations, and exploiting Rome’s standing as a seat of global power and a religious capital.

‘The object of this fascinating book is to render visible Roman slaves in the remains of the Campanian cities and villas destroyed in 79 AD by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius …

The possibilities raised are of great importance, and in its legitimate concern to evoke the day-to-day realities of life in slavery [this] book is to be warmly applauded … The challenge of recovering a history of slavery from archaeological evidence has been laid down, and it is in this that the book’s special value lies.’

The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Warfare Edited by Philip Sabin King’s College London

Hans van Wees University College London

and Michael Whitby University of Warwick

Warfare was the single biggest preoccupation of historians in antiquity. In recent decades fresh textual interpretations, numerous new archaeological discoveries and a much broader analytical focus emphasising social, economic, political and cultural approaches have transformed our understanding of ancient warfare.

This two-volume History reflects these developments and provides a systematic account, written by a distinguished cast of contributors, of the various themes underlying the warfare of the Greek world from Archaic Greece to the Arab conquests of the seventh century AD. For each broad period developments in troop-types, equipment, strategy and

Ancient history tactics are discussed. These are placed in the broader context of developments in international relations and the relationship of warfare to both the state and wider society. Numerous illustrations, a glossary and chronology, and information about the authors mentioned supplement the text. This will become the primary reference work for specialists and non-specialists alike.

‘These volumes are sure to be the standard reference on classical military history in the Englishspeaking world for some time … The quality of the chapters and the sheer readability of the work is very high and the editors and authors are to be congratulated for the production of these very useful volumes.’

Strabo’s Geography, completed in the early first century AD, is the primary source for the history of Greek geography. This Guide provides the first English analysis of and commentary on this long and difficult text, and serves as a companion to the author’s The Geography of Strabo, the first English translation of the work in many years.

It thoroughly analyzes each of the seventeen books and provides perhaps the most thorough bibliography as yet created for Strabo’s work. Careful attention is paid to the historical and cultural data, the thousands of toponyms, and the many lost historical sources that are preserved only in the Geography. This volume guides readers through the challenges and complexities of the text, allowing an enhanced understanding of the numerous topics that Strabo covers, from the travels of Alexander and the history of the Mediterranean to science, religion, and cult.

This book argues instead that this ‘Arian’ opposition was largely conjured up by Ambrose himself to secure and justify his own authority.

Migration, Mobility and Place in Ancient Italy

Citizenship in Classical Athens

Elena Isayev

Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands

University of Exeter

A highly original study arguing that Athenian citizenship was not just a political, but primarily a religious, identity. Classical Athens saw itself as a community (polis) founded on its bond with the gods. Male and female citizens were equal heirs of this bond, in which the polis also anchored its laws.

This book examines the nature of human mobility, attitudes to it, and constructions of place over the last millennium BC in Rome and Italy. It demonstrates that there were high rates of mobility, challenging the perception of sites and communities as static and ethnically oriented entities.

Nicolaus of Damascus: The Life of Augustus and The Autobiography Edited with Introduction, Translations and Historical Commentary Edited and translated by Mark Toher Union College, New York

Nicolaus of Damascus, the chief minister of Herod the Great, was an exact contemporary of the first Roman emperor Augustus; he spent considerable time in Roman society and knew Augustus. The extensive remains of his Bios Kaisaros contain the earliest and most detailed account of the conspiracy against Julius Caesar and his assassination. The Bios also presents the most extensive account of the boyhood and early development of Augustus.

This edition presents the Greek text and translation of the Bios and Nicolaus’ autobiography, along with a historical and historiographical commentary. The Introduction situates the text in relation to the considerable evidence for the life and career of Nicolaus preserved in the works of Josephus, addresses the problem of its date of composition, analyses the language and narrative technique of Nicolaus and discusses the Bios in relation to the evidence for Greek biographical encomium.

Latham explores the play between performance and itinerary, tracing the transformations of the circus procession from the late Republic to late antiquity.

Magical Hymns from Roman Egypt A Study of Greek and Egyptian Traditions of Divinity Ljuba Merlina Bortolani Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany

This interdisciplinary study investigates the divine personas in the so-called magical hymns of the Greek magical papyri which, in a corpus usually seen as a significant expression of religious syncretism with strong Egyptian influence, were long considered to be the ‘most authentically Greek’ contribution. Fifteen hymns receive a line-by-line commentary focusing on religious concepts, ritual practice, language and style. The overarching aim is to categorise the nature of divinity according to its Greek or Egyptian elements, examining earlier Greek and Egyptian sources and religious-magical traditions in order to find textual or conceptual parallels. Are the gods of the magical hymns Greek or Egyptian in nature? Did the magical hymns originate in a Greek or Egyptian cultural background? The book tries to answer these questions and to shed light on the religious plurality and/or fusion of the

KEY REFERENCE A New Annotated Translation, with Parallel Latin and Greek Text General Editor Bruce W. Frier University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Translated by Fred H. Blume

The Codex of Justinian is, together with the Digest, the core of the great Byzantine compilation of Roman law called the Corpus Iuris Civilis. The Codex compiles legal proclamations issued

by Roman emperors from the second to the sixth centuries CE. Its influence on subsequent legal development in the medieval and early modern world has been almost incalculable. But the Codex has not, until now, been credibly translated into English. This translation, with a facing Latin and Greek text (from Paul Krüger’s ninth edition of the Codex), is based on one made by Justice Fred H. Blume in the 1920s, but left unpublished for almost a century.

It is accompanied by introductions explaining the background of the translation, a bibliography and glossary, and notes that help in understanding the text. Anyone with an interest in the Codex, whether an interested novice or a professional historian, will find ample assistance here.

‘The Codex Justinianus, a collection selected in the sixth century AD from thousands of responses to enquiries made by the imperial legal secretariat, is an unrivalled source for the actual lives and concerns of Roman citizens all over the Empire, and the changing policies of their rulers, over half a millennium. A team of ancient historians and academic lawyers has now produced an accurate and comprehensible English translation, based on that made by the late Justice Fred H. Blume almost a century ago, and with a facing Latin and Greek text. There are several valuable extra features, especially a glossary explaining Latin legal terms, footnotes … explaining the relevant legal rules and procedures … [and] copious provision of cross-references to related passages in the CJ and other major Roman legal writings.

Ancient historians and legal historians alike have cause to be grateful to the compilers. This is the edition on which, from now on, they may confidently rely.’

Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge

Queensborough Community College, New York

Were high appointments in the Roman Empire based on merit or on social standing? Some strong social biases emerge from this innovative study which uses a specially compiled database.

There was considerable aristocratic preference in both army and civilian commands and the higher equestrian posts suggest similar patterns.

This book offers the first comprehensive study of economic conditions and economic life in Roman cities during the late Republic and early Empire. Inspired by comparative historical evidence and contemporary economic theory, it explores the performance of the Roman economy and the economic importance of key institutions like slavery, manumission, reputation and gender.

Ostia in Late Antiquity is the first book to narrate the life of Ostia Antica, Rome’s ancient harbor, during the later empire, a period often synonymous in popular imagination with the ‘fall of Rome’. Drawing on new archaeological research, including the author’s own, this book offers a dynamic picture of what it was like to live during this transformative period. ‘… a very welcome development and begins to fill an important gap in the study of ancient Ostia. Boin skilfully weaves together material and textual evidence to show theories that Ostia experienced ‘decline’ or rapid Christianization in the third and fourth centuries are generally unfounded.’

How did Pericles become both the greatest and the most dangerous leader Athens ever produced? Loren J.

Pericles and the Conquest of History A Political Biography Loren J. Samons, II Boston University

‘To his credit, Professor Samons resolutely refuses to view Pericles with rose-colored glasses. Instead, he shatters the illusions entertained by his predecessors, emphasizing the degree to which the radical democracy in Athens fostered and was fostered by a brutal, ruthless, exploitative imperialism and exhibited a suicidal ambition for further expansion that, thanks in part to the vision of undying glory and grandeur deliberately projected by Pericles, knew no bounds.’

University of Warwick

This book provides the first edition with an extensive introduction and full commentary of a unique land survey written on papyrus in Greek which derives from that area of southern (Upper) Egypt known as the Apollonopolite (or Edfu) nome and is now preserved in Copenhagen. Dating from the late second century BC, this survey provides a new picture of both landholding and taxation in the area which differs significantly from that currently accepted. The introduction sets this new evidence in its contemporary context, drawing particular attention to what it reveals about the nature of the relations of the Ptolemaic royal administration with local grandees, Egyptian temples and the army. No student of Hellenistic Egypt can afford to ignore this text, which importantly extends our knowledge of Upper Egypt under the Ptolemaic kings and involves some modification to the prevailing picture of landholding in Hellenistic Egypt.

This definitive assessment of the most famous twentieth-century ancient historian engages with his impact beyond as well as within the academy, analysing the means and nature of his impact, and telling how a scholar expelled from the United States for communist links became a part of the British establishment.

Ancient philosophy

Ancient philosophy Platonist Philosophy 80 BC to AD 250 An Introduction and Collection of Sources in Translation George Boys-Stones University of Durham

‘Middle’ Platonism has some claim to be the single most influential philosophical movement of the last two thousand years, as the common background to ‘Neoplatonism’ and the early development of Christian theology. This book breaks with the tradition of considering it primarily in terms of its sources, instead putting its contemporary philosophical engagements front and centre to reconstruct its philosophical motivations and activity across the full range of its interests. The volume explores the thinkers at the heart of Platonist philosophy in this period and includes a comprehensive selection of primary sources, a significant number of which appear in English translation for the first time, along with dedicated guides to the questions that have been, and might be, asked about the movement. The result is a tool which will help to bring the study of Middle Platonism into mainstream discussions of ancient philosophy.

Plotinus, the greatest philosopher of late antiquity, discusses at length a first principle of reality – the One – which, he tells us, cannot be expressed in words or grasped by thought. This book explores this act of writing the unwritable. It will be of importance for students of Platonism and mysticism.

The Works of Archimedes Translation and Commentary Volume 2 Edited and translated by Reviel Netz Stanford University, California

This is the second volume of the first fully fledged English translation of the works of Archimedes – antiquity’s greatest scientist and one of the most important scientific figures in history. It covers On Spiral Lines and is based on a reconsideration of the Greek text and diagrams, now made possible through new discoveries from the Archimedes Palimpsest. On Spiral Lines is one of Archimedes’ most dazzling geometrical tours de force, suggesting a manner of ‘squaring the circle’ and, along the way, introducing the attractive geometrical object of the spiral. The form of argument, no less than the results themselves, is striking, and Reviel Netz contributes extensive and insightful comments that focus on Archimedes’ scientific style, making this volume indispensable for scholars of classics and the history of science, and of great interest for the scientists and mathematicians of today.

The main purposes of the book are twofold: first, to challenge the received opinion about Socrates by showing how his activities in democratic Athens involved productively challenging the extant political consensus; and second, to imagine alternative forms of political engagement inspired by Socrates.

alongside and against Athens’s late fifth-century political culture.

Sensitive to text and context, it brings to light the ways in which Socrates’ engagements with foreigners, women, slaves, and citizens alike challenged the exclusions of Athens’s democratic ideology and transformed Athenian practices of accountability, free speech, and freedom in the direction of more democracy. [This book] develops ‘a philosophy that lives in the people who practice it together’ as a mode of civic engagement that is no less relevant for contemporary democratic culture than it was for fifth-century Athens.’

Proclus: Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus Volume 6: Book 5: Proclus on the Gods of Generation and the Creation of Humans Proclus Edited by Harold Tarrant University of New South Wales, Sydney

Proclus’ Commentary on the dialogue Timaeus by Plato (d.347 BC), written in the fifth century AD, is arguably the most important commentary on a text of Plato, offering unparalleled insights into eight centuries of Platonic interpretation.

It has had an enormous influence on subsequent Plato scholarship. This edition nevertheless offers the first new translation of the work for nearly two centuries, building on significant recent advances in scholarship on Neoplatonic commentators. It will provide an invaluable record of early interpretations of Plato’s dialogue, while also presenting Proclus’ own views on the meaning and significance of Platonic philosophy.

The book presents Proclus’ unrepentant account of a multitude of divinities involved with the creation of mortal life, the supreme creator’s delegation to them of the creation of human life, and the manner in which they took the immortal life principle from him and wove it together with our mortal parts to produce human beings.

This volume brings the field of Byzantine intellectual history into being. Shifting focus from the cultural, social, and economic study of Byzantium to the life and evolution of ideas in their context, it provides an authoritative history of intellectual endeavors from late antiquity to the fifteenth century. At its heart lie the transmission, transformation, and shifts of Hellenic, Christian, and Byzantine ideas and concepts as exemplified in diverse aspects of intellectual life, from philosophy, theology, and rhetoric to astrology, astronomy, and politics. Case studies introduce the major players in Byzantine intellectual life, and particular emphasis is placed on the reception of ancient thought and its significance for secular as well as religious modes of thinking and acting. New insights are offered regarding controversial, understudied, or promising topics of research, such as philosophy and medical thought in
