Unus homo nobis cunctando restituit rem
The starting point of this chapter is Ennius's line, cited in oratio obliqua at Livy 30.26.9.1 Most attention is given to Livy Book 22, where Fabius, with his policy of attrition, avoiding pitched battles and a repeat of the defeats of the opening years of the Hannibalic War, is the dominant figure, contrasted with C. Flaminius, killed in the battle at Lake Trasimene in 217 B.C.E., M. Minucius Rufus, magister equitum during Fabius's dictatorship …

Water Security in a Changing World
This essay defines the concept of water security and explores the implications of the eternal pursuit of it. I will describe how water security is perceived by wealthy and by poorer nations, the tensions that arise from these differing views, and how these tensions are being resolved in a world in which the geography of economics and power is changing rapidly. I outline a few iconic cases of how societies have built institutions and infrastructur…
A Commentary on Livy Books 41–45
"Livy's History of Rome covers the city's foundation to 9 BC in 142 Books of which only 1-10 and 21-45 survive. This is the fourth and final volume of John Briscoe's commentary on the last fifteen surviving Books of Livy. Books 41-45 cover the years 178-167 BC and deal with the Third Macedonian War which lasted from 171-168 BC, and resulted, as had been the senate's intention, in the destruction of the Macedonian monarchy. Livy's text depends on …
Pakistan’s Water Economy
With an average rainfall of under 240 milli-meters a year, Pakistan is one of the world's most arid countries. The population and the economy are heavily dependent on an annual influx of water into the Indus river system that emanates from the neighboring countries and is mostly derived from rainfall and snow-melt in the Himalayas. Throughout history, people have adapted to the low and poorly distributed rainfall by either living along river bank…

Breast-feeding and Diarrheal Morbidity
This study used a unique longitudinal survey of more than 3000 mother-infant pairs observed from pregnancy through infancy. The sample is representative of infants from the Cebu region of the Philippines. The sequencing of breast-feeding and diarrheal morbidity events was carefully examined in a longitudinal analysis which allowed for the examination of age-specific effects of feeding patterns. Because the work controlled for a wide range of envi…

The Second Punic War
The Senate took advantage of Carthage's difficulties in the Mercenary War to seize Sardinia. Polybius rightly regarded the latter action as unjustified and the subsequent Carthaginian resentment as a major cause of the Second Punic War. The treaty between Hannibal and Philip V of Macedon clearly envisaged Rome's continuing existence after a Carthaginian victory. Hannibal left Carthago Nova sometime in May, and reached the Rhone in September. Scip…

A case-control study of the effect of environmental sanitation on diarrhoea morbidity in Malawi
A case-control design has been applied in the evaluation of improved environmental sanitation on diarrhoeal diseases in rural Malawi. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using such an approach to evaluate two levels of water supply and sanitation service quickly and at moderate cost. Sample sizes would need to be increased substantially to evaluate multiple levels of service or to investigate interactions between water supply and sanitation…

Water supply and health in developing countries
The inclusion of water supply and sanitation programs as a component of primary health care (PHC) has been questioned on the basis of calculations of the costs of these programs per infant death averted. In this paper the procedures used in these cost-effectiveness calculations are examined and found to be wanting. The calculations are misleading since gross rather than net costs have been used, and the health impact of these programs underestima…

Technology and Child Survival
This paper focuses attention on conceptual models in a specific sector, namely, water supply and sanitation, that has played a fundamental role in reducing infant mortality in industrialized countries (McKeown, Brown, and Record, 1972), and from which a similar contribution is expected in underdeveloped countries. The analysis has two major objectives. First, it is intended to demonstrate how conceptual frameworks arise in response to specific ch…
A commentary on Livy
Books 38-40 of Livy's History of Rome cover the years 189-179 BC. They contain two famous and much-discussed episodes: the trials of the Scipios, and the so-called Bacchanalian conspiracy. Other notable matters described are the end of the war with the Aetolian League and Manlius Vulso's campaign in Asia Minor, the censorship of the elder Cato, and the fatal quarrel in the Macedonian royal house. This commentary, conceived on the same scale as Br…

Energy Use and Social Structure in a Bangladesh Village
This paper examines energy availability and patterns of energy use in the context of a single village in rural Bangladesh. From a quantification of the average daily flows of energy use by the study population in the village, the analysis proceeds to an examination of patterns of land ownership and of the relations governing transactions between members of different classes in land, labor, and crop residues. The final section assesses the likely …

Supporters and Opponents of Tiberius Gracchus
Although a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the identification of the supporters and opponents of Tiberius Gracchus, the central feature of the prosopographical picture that emerges has not been given the attention it deserves. For Tiberius Gracchus, whose mother was both the sister of the adoptive father of Scipio Aemilianus and the niece of Scipio's natural father, and whose sister was married to Aemilianus, found his most notabl…
Q. Marcius Philippus and Nova Sapientia
‘Nova ea minus placebat sapientia’: that was the view that the ‘veteres et moris antiqui memores’ took of the diplomatic activity of Q. Marcius Philippus and his colleagues during their embassy to Greece and Macedonia in 172/1. For once we have evidence of a definite division in the Senate on a matter of policy, and if the political groupings established by prosopographers are to have any meaning beyond mere manoeuvring for office, it should be p…
