Aspects of Ancient Institutions and Geography: Studies in Honor of Richard J.A. Talbert: Impact of Empire, cartea 19

Editat de Lee L. Brice, Daniëlle Slootjes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 noi 2014
In Aspects of Ancient Institutions and Geography colleagues and students honor Richard J.A. Talbert for his numerous contributions and influence on the fields of ancient history, political and social science, as well as cartography and geography. This collection of original and useful examinations is focused around the core theme of Talbert’s work – how ancient individuals and groups organized their world, through their institutions and geography.
The first half of the book considers institutional history in chapters on such diverse topics as the Roman Senate, Roman provincial politics and administration, healing springs, gladiators, and soldiers. Chapters on the geography of Thucydides and Alexander III, imperial geography, tracking letters and using sundials round out the second half of the book.

Recenzii

"The volume achieves three distinct objectives. First, by adopting a diachronic approach, the editors encourage the reader to draw connections across time and discipline. (...) Second, while this volume, as is typical with Festschriften, demonstrates an extraordinary diversity in topics, each article remains extraordinarily accessible. As such, even non-experts would find a starting point for further exploration. Third, Talbert’s scholarship is a part of each paper, demonstrating further his broad influence on scholarship of antiquity. Scholars, though their interests may range from Alexander’s wars to late-antique dioceses, will find something of value in this volume, not just in their area of expertise, but in others as well. Much like Talbert’s many important contributions, this volume should find itself in libraries of ancient historians and philologist of extremely diverse interests." Laurent J. Cases in BMCR 2018.12.42
