González Herrero, Marta (2020). El culto imperial en el mundo romano. Temas de Historia Antigua. Madrid
these are two welcome treatments of the (so-called) imperial cult in ancient Rome. The cult was a highly differentiated phenomenon and scholars have long recognized that the same matrix does not fit all its manifestations. mcintyre, therefore, appropriately starts with the astute and succinct formulation by mary Beard, John north

Reflections of an Infidel
Reflections of an Infidel Karl Galinsky Here is my basic take: The Harvard School was an overdue reaction against the long-standing view that the Aeneid was a paean on the Augustan "Golden Age" (as in Robert Graves's entertaining polemic on "The Virgil Cult" [1962]), a perspective that was exacerbated by Syme (1939), who portrayed the Augustan poets as craven mouthpieces of a [End Page 73] proto-Fascist regime. Surely, Vergil deserved a closer lo…
People under Power
After all too many years of reductive and shallow treatises, historically-grounded scholarship has come to the fore on the relations of early Christians and their imperial Roman overlords. The present volume, with the contributions of nine European specialists (plus an Introduction by the two editors) makes a substantial contribution to common-sense and sound historical methodology. It is a valuable resource. As always in such reviews, not all ch…
Augustus’ auctoritas and Res Gestae 34.3
There is no probative evidence whatever for limiting Augustus' emphasis on auctoritas at the end of the Res Gestae to his inconsequential function as princeps senatus. Rooted in his res gestae, auctoritas comprises a wider spectrum of performative achievements and makes the case for his future deification
Memory in Ancient Rome and Early Christianity
Memory studies has been one of the fastest growing fields of research in recent decades across many disciplines, such as the humanities, social sciences, media studies, and cognitive science. Mirroring this interdisciplinarity, this collection, focusing on the role of memory in ancient Rome and early Christianity, brings together perspectives on literature, history, archaeology, and religion. It does so on the basis of informed engagement with im…
Augustus
Augustus
Augustus, Rome's first emperor, is one of the great figures of world history and one of the most fascinating. In this lively and concise biography Karl Galinsky examines Augustus' life from childhood to deification. He chronicles the mosaic of vicissitudes, challenges, setbacks and successes that shaped Augustus' life, both public and private. How did he use his power? How did he manage to keep re-inventing himself? What kind of man was he? A tra…

Vergil’s Aeneid and Ovid’s Metamorphoses as World Literature
Among the many poetic accomplishments of the Augustan age, two stand out and tower over the rest: Vergil's Aeneid (written between 29 and 19 B.C.) and Ovid's Metamorphoses (published around A.D. 8). The reason is not just their epic length - 12 books for the Aeneid , 15 for the Metamorphoses - but their richness and scope of defining the human experience. It is for that reason they have become, deservedly, world literature, a dimension that is fu…
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus
The age of Augustus, commonly dated to 30 BC – AD 14, was a pivotal period in world history. A time of tremendous change in Rome, Italy, and throughout the Mediterranean world, many developments were underway when Augustus took charge and a recurring theme is the role that he played in shaping their direction. The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus captures the dynamics and richness of this era by examining important aspects of political …

The Oxford Classical Dictionary
Praised by playwright Arthur Miller as delight for anyone with any curiosity about roots of our Western culture and by Booklist as the single most heavily used book on classical studies, The Oxford Classical Dictionary is without doubt definitive single-volume resource on ancient Greece and Rome. Now this redoubtable classic is available in electronic form on CD-ROM. Here are over six thousand A to Z entries, ranging from long articles to biograp…
The Cambridge Companion to Virgil
Augustan culture
Grand political accomplishment and artistic productivity were the hallmarks of Augustus Caesar's reign (31 B.C. to A.D. 14), which has served as a powerful model of achievement for societies throughout Western history. Although much research has been done on individual facets of Augustan culture, Karl Galinsky's book is the first in decades to present a unified overview, one that brings together political and social history, art, literature, arch…
Classical and Modern Interactions
Postmodernism, multiculturalism, the alleged decline of the United States, deconstruction, leadership, and values--these topics have been at the forefront of contemporary intellectual and cultural debate and are likely to remain so for the near future. Participants in the debate can usefully enlarge the perspective to a comparison between the Greco-Roman world and contemporary society. In this thought-provoking work, a noted classics scholar test…
Venus, Polysemy, and the Ara Pacis Augustae
The intentionally multiple iconography of the "Tellus" relief on the Ara Pacis Augustae deliberately was designed to create multiple meanings and associations. Attempts to limit it to one particular type, such as Pax, are not tenable because none of the actually existing iconographic details and symbols, including the companion figures, are exclusively those of Pax. The Zoilos relief and the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias shed new light on the iconogr…
The Poet's Truth
The controversy over Virgil's optimism or pessimism, which has long absorbed readers of his poetry, might fruitfully yield to a perspective which allows contradictions to stand unresolved, to constitute, in fact, the essence of his poems' meaning. So interpreted, the pervasive contradictions of the Georgics are not problems to be solved, but expressions of the poet's vision of fundamental tensions in human experience. Focusing on the figure of th…

Cacus and Marsyas in Etrusco-Roman Legend
This book discusses how Greek and South Italian vase paintings of the musical contest between Apollo and Marsyas became the model for Etruscan representations of Cacus ambushed by the Vibennae brothers, two Etruscan heroes of the sixth century B.C. The study demonstrates that the Etruscans knowingly adapted Greek iconographic forms to represent their own legends.Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-de…
Perspectives of Roman Poetry
Written by leading specialists, the essays in Perspectives of Roman Poetry seek to provide a broad range of readers with a good understanding of some essential aspects of major Roman poets and poetic genres. The value of the essays is enhanced, for comparative purposes, by their extensive reference to modern authors. such as Shakespeare and Tolkien. For the modern reader, Latin quotations are accompanied by effective English translations. The ess…
How to be Philosophical about the End of the Aeneid
Overemphasized as it has been over the past three decades, the final scene of the Aeneid is a useful paradigm both of Rezeptionsgeschichte and of Vergil's poetic technique.There is no indication whatever that Vergil's non-Christian, Roman readers viewed it in terms of Aeneas' condemnation, and Vergil certainly had his share of critics.*It is writers like Lactantius who criticized Aeneas' furor and ira even while justifying the ira Dei elsewhere.2…

Virgil's Aeneid and the Tradition of Hellenistic Poetry
Aeneas, Sicily, and Rome
The legend of Aeneas as preserved in the art and artifacts of antiquity is the focus of this study. Gallant warrior, accomplice in the abduction of Helen, fugitive from burning Troy, founder of Rome-in all his roles, Aeneas appears in ancient sculpture and wall painting, on vases, coins, lamps, mirrors, and gems, as richly illustrated here. To what extent he was known to the Greeks and Romans, for what qualities he was admired, and how his legend…
