Franz Steiner Verlag. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2011. Softcover. 3515098763 . Im Zuge der Restaurierungsmaßnahmen der LUPA CAPITOLINA zu Rom in den Jahren 1997–2000 zeigte sich, daß diese weithin bekannte symbolträchtige Bronzeskulptur entgegen der Jahrhunderte alten Überzeugung nicht etwa in der ersten Hälfte des 5.

Its results helped Rome achieve the internal integration needed to conquer and rule the Mediterranean world. Despite its fundamental significance, this process is difficult to understand because contemporaneous evidence is scarce and later literary sources present a gravely deformed picture. In Social Struggles in Archaic Rome, experts from both sides of the Atlantic illuminate the history of these social conflicts-examining their causes and nature; analysing a wide range of social, economic, legal, religious, military, and political aspects; and considering the reliability of the historical sources.… Read More

DJ spine is sunned and discolored. ; Women's and men's worlds were largely separate in ancient Mediterranean societies, and, in consequence, many women's deepest personal relationships were with other women. Yet relatively little scholarly or popular attention has focused on women's relationships in antiquity, in contrast to recent interest in the relationships between men in ancient Greece and Rome.
