Inside Roman Libraries
Libraries of the ancient world have long held a space in the public imagination. The library at Alexandria, even during antiquity, was nearly legendary. Until now there has been relatively little research done to learn what was inside these libraries, who wrote the book rolls, who maintained and protected the holdings, and how those ancient collections came to be. This book examines the complex world of ancient libraries, from Greece, Italy, and …

Tiberius and the Libraries
The principate of the emperor Tiberius was a surprisingly interesting period in Roman library history. Devoted to books and scholarship himself, Tiberius built what must have been a very large new library, but he also confirmed the Augustan principle of constructing numerous separate structures rather than one comprehensive library.

Ports in Perspective
Very large merchant vessels (500 tons burden or more) and elaborate port facilities certainly existed in the Roman world, and they have attracted much attention in recent years. It is important, however, to provide an accurate context for such spectacular technical achievements: do they represent the norm, or are they uncommon, or even highly anomalous? In the absence of documentary evidence, we can make good use of comparative materials from oth…
