Reviews
A masterpiece of historical writing - not merely a standard work to be read as a matter of compulsion, by (at the least) all ancient historians, but rather an immediate classic whose effects will long be felt, and which in the present generation cannot be superseded.

Synopsis
This book offers a large scale reassessment of the function of Roman emperor over three centuries (from Augustus to Constantine) and of the social realities of this exercise of power. Concentrating on the patterns of communication between the emperor and his subjects, the author shows that such communications were normally initiated by the subjects - whether grouped in cities or other associations, or individually and that the emperor fulfilled his role primarily by making responses to them or giving decisions or verdicts between them. The book casts new light on a number of detailed historical questions such as the sources of the emperor's wealth and the ways he spent it; the imperial residences and the mobility of the court; and the relatively small and simple entourage that the emperor needed to perform his functions. But above all, it emphasizes two major historical themes: the steady detachment of the emperor from the republican institutions of the city of Rome; and the way in which relations between Emperor and Church were shaped by the emperor's long-standing relations with cities, temples and associations in the pagan world. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, from literature and legal writings to inscriptions and papyri, the main text can be read without any knowledge o f Latin or Greek., This book offers a large-scale reassessment of the function of the Roman emperor over three centuries and of the social realities of his exercise of power.

- y***y (0)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe candle holders were just as described and packaged in multiple layers of bubble wrap, then the extra space in the box was packed tight with packing paper. Shipping was quick, might have been a little pricy (I just don’t like paying for shipping). I think the quality of the items was absolutely worth the value! I highly recommend getting some for yourself or buying from this seller!
