The Cambridge World History of Violence
Cambridge World History of Violence
Roman Violence: Attitudes and Practice
The chapter examines the broad contours of violence in the Roman world, from the private, personal plane of violence in social relations (where self-help was the order of the day) to criminality and the law, to the ideological underpinnings of applying violence to those perceived as threats to the community. Various facets of the Romans’ socio-political landscape had an impact on how they viewed and practised violence. Romans had an ideology of d…
The Topography of Violence in the Greco-Roman World
What soldiers do on the battlefield or boxers do in the ring would be treated as criminal acts if carried out in an everyday setting. Perpetrators of violence in the classical world knew this and chose their venues and targets with care: killing Julius Caesar at a meeting of the Senate was deliberate. That location asserted Senatorial superiority over a perceived tyrant, and so proclaimed the pure republican principles of the assassins. The contr…
Social Life in Town and Country
Epigraphy reveals important aspects of the social life of ordinary people and slaves in the Roman world, habitually overlooked by elite literary authors. Inscriptions dealing with the lower orders might appear to have no overt social filter but are often influenced by the epigraphic culture of the elite. The chapter argues that through public documents, such as the statutes of collegia , the commemoration of benefactions, gravestones, and graffit…
Baths, bathing
Evidence for organized bathing in the ancient Mediterranean–as opposed to bathing in natural bodies of water–comes from the Bronze Age. Homer's heroes bathe in tubs of hot water (e.g., Od . 4.128–89, 8.449–51, 10.358–63) and terracotta bathing tubs are known from Pylos, Knossos, and Akrotiri (among others).
Social Structure and Mobility, Greece and Rome
As a rule, the socioeconomic profile of ancient states resembled that of modern Third World countries: a thin veneer of privilege at the top, virtually no middle class, and a vast underclass toiling away at the bottom.
Socializing at the Baths
Violence in Roman Social Relations
The Oxford Handbook of Social Relations in the Roman World synthesizes what has been accomplished in this field and attempts to configure the examination of Roman social relations in some new ways, thereby indicating directions in which the discipline might now proceed. The book opens with a substantial general introduction that portrays the current state of the field, indicates some avenues for further study, and provides the background necessar…

Bathing in Public in the Roman World
Roman Baths and Bathing
The Genesis of the Roman Public Bath: Recent Approaches and Future Directions
The problem of the origins and early development of the Roman public bath has proven an intractable one for classical archaeologists. In the absence of hard ancient evidence, many modern propositions have been put forward to explain the process of development. In this paper, the six most influential of these approaches are presented and critiqued for their strengths and weaknesses. It is found that none is sufficient in itself to explain the appe…
Elections and Electioneering in Rome: A Study in the Political System of the Late Republic
Bathing in Public in the Roman World
For Romans, bathing was a social event. Public baths, in fact, were one of the few places where large numbers of Romans gathered daily in an informal context. They went to meet friends, drink wine, pick up sexual partners, and generally while away the idle afternoon hours. Despite the disapproval of the morally superior, the popularity of the baths endured for over a millennium and spread to every corner of the Roman world. This book is the first…

L'AFFIDABILITÀ DELLE ISCRIZIONI DA RIEDIFICAZIONI ROMANE Edmund Thomas e Christian Witschel hanno presentato ( Papers of the British School at Rome 60 (1992), 135–77) un'analisi dell'affermazioni epigrafiche delle iscrizioni da riedificazioni nel tentativo di mettere in luce il simbolismo e l'ideologia della ricostruzione e la sua importanza per i Romani. In tutto il loro lavoro i suddetti autori costantemente mettono in dubbio l'affidabilità del…

ties of the mysterious entrepreneur Sergius Orata, though various other comments and anecdotes help fill out the picture to some degree.l On the basis of these scattered notices, some postulate that Orata invented the hypocaust, the system of underfloor heating used in Roman baths, and therefore occupies a central role in the early history of the development of the baths.2 Despite clear archaeological evidence from Greece and Magna Graecia that p…
