N icola T errenato . The Early Roman Expansion into Italy: Elite Negotiation and Family Agendas
In his preface, Nicola Terrenato tells us he has been working on The Early Roman Expansion into Italy: Elite Negotiation and Family Agendas for two decades. He clearly sets forth his twin aims: basing himself on historical, archaeological, and epigraphic evidence, he will delineate Roman expansion into central and southern Italy in the fourth and third centuries BCE. After that he proposes to offer an explanation of the phenomenon that will not b…

A definitive book in its field, this second edition is a must read. Completely rewritten and updated to include the further discoveries of the last two decades, it challenges traditional views of Sulla as a tyrant and harsh military dictator and instead …

Lucullus: A Life
This is the first biography in English of Lucullus, one of Rome's greatest soldiers, traditionally considered a degenerate. Paring back the legends and misconceptions surrounding his name, the book examines Lucullus as a soldier, politician and aesthete. Inheritor of the ideals of his friend Sulla, his career spans the last years of the Roman republic when it was governed under the constitution the dictator had devised. Through the eyes of Lucull…

The Attack on Naxos: A ‘Forgotten Cause’ of the Ionian Revolt
Herodotus tells us that some Naxian oligarchic exiles approached Aristagoras who was then ruling Miletus as deputy for his father-in-law Histiaeus, and asked him to help them return to power. Aristagoras, who saw a possible advantage for himself in the request, was willing to oblige but, as the matter lay beyond his competence, he put the project before Artaphernes, who, he said, governed all the peoples of the sea-coast of Asia. Artaphernes, in …

L. Catilina Legatus: Sallust, Histories I. 46M
As Fragment 46 of the first book of Sallust's Histories Maurenbrecher prints: Magnis operibus perfectis obsidium cepit per L. Catilinam legatum . This he takes in effect to mean that Lucretius Ofella after the completion of great siege works received reinforcements brought by L. Catiline legate of Sulla. The interpretation depends largely upon his contention that the phrase obsidium cepit is to be taken as equivalent to subsidium cepit , for whic…
Pompeius Strabo's Second Consulship
For E. Badian the story of Pompeius Strabo's desire for a second consulship in 88, though implausible, was too well documented to require citation of sources. In fact it is not well documented and seems to depend solely on one disputed passage: Veil. Pat. 2.21.2. Others, far less cautious than Badian, have not scrupled, however, to accept it as uncontested fact and on it to build unlikely hypotheses, despite the long scholarly controversy as to w…

Macer's Villa — A Previous Owner: Pliny, Ep. 5. 18
At Pliny, Ep. 5. 18 we read that Macer, the recipient of that letter, has a villa which Pliny says must be lovely, because in qua [ sc. villa ] se composuerat homo felicior, antequam felicissimus fieret . The identity of this homo felicior is undoubtedly of some interest, but the latest commentary on Pliny's Letters (that of A. N. Sherwin-White) has nothing to say on the matter. However, B. Radice in her two translations of the Letters (Loeb and …
