Classical Commentaries: Explorations in a Scholarly Genre
This book consists of twenty-six chapters on classical commentaries which deal with commentaries from the ancient world to the twentieth century. The book contributes to the interface between two emerging fields of study: the history of scholarship and the history of the book. It builds on earlier work on this area by paying particular attention to: (1) specific editions, whether those regarded as classics in their own right, or those that seem r…
Tacitus: Agricola
The first work of any great historian has always commanded attention, and Tacitus was ancient Rome's very greatest historian. His biography of his father-in-law, governor of Britain in the years AD 77–84, is a literary masterpiece: it combines penetrating political history with gripping military narrative and throughout poses the question (still very much alive today) of how one should live one's life under a tyranny. This is the first commentary…
Long Ago and Far Away … The Uses of the Past in Tacitus’ Minora
Each of Tacitus' works is concerned with the place and value of antiquity, both in its own terms and, more particularly, in how it informs our understanding of and affects the conduct in the present. Tacitus' current subject also lies in the past, but that is the recent imperial past, which poses particular challenges to the author and his readers, who may take offense at the implied comparison between Tiberian characters and men of the present. …
Silence in Roman literature
The meanings of silence are not only culturally specific, but within a given culture their understanding is affected by genre, gender, and situation.
A Commentary on Livy, Books 38-40
The Cambridge Companion to Tacitus
Tacitus is universally recognised as ancient Rome's greatest writer of history, and his account of the Roman Empire in the first century AD has been fundamental in shaping the modern perception of Rome and its emperors. This Companion provides a new, up-to-date and authoritative assessment of his work and influence which will be invaluable for students and non-specialists as well as of interest to established scholars in the field. First situatin…
A Commentary on Thucydides (review)
Livy: AB VRBE Condita, Book VI
Initium Turbandi Omnia a Femina Ortum Est: Fabia Minor and the Election of 367 B. C
ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES THAT Livy uses to give his voluminous history coherence is repetition. This is observable on many levels, two of the most distinctive being the use of key words to link related but separate episodes1 and the repetition of whole narrative elements.2 These repeated narrative elements may or may not deliberately echo one another. Some are loci communes (e.g., the sack of cities);3 others, while conventional, are meant to be rea…
