  • A History of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide

    Open AccessMargaret Allen, Rob Amery et al.BOOKA History of the Faculty of Arts…2012References: 3

    Even though the BA was the first degree it was not until eight years later in 1887 that the Faculty of Arts was inaugurated. In the first 50 years of the Universitys existence, less than ten BA students graduated each year. At the start of the 21st century this figure had climbed to over 300 BA graduates per year but what is interesting is that by 2010 the number of BA graduates was equalled by the number of graduates from separate named degrees …

  • The Character and Content of Water in Nonnus and Claudian

    Open AccessR F Newbold, R NewboldARTICLERamus2001

    While it is the common nature of water to mirror the exact image of the body, it alone boasts the strange power that it mimics not human forms but human character ( mores ). Claudian As Claudian observes, water can display some very human moods and emotions, such as anger or calm. It can be quite anthropomorphic. Rivers, springs, the sea are readily personified. But, further than that, when water is imagined, it can also reveal many of the fantas…

  • Nonverbal communication and parataxis in Late Antiquity

    R F NewboldARTICLEL antiquité classique1986Cited by: 1

    There appears to have been a movement towards paratactic modes of expression in late antiquity, and an increased sensitivity to nonverbal communication. This was partly a reaction to the verbal, logical bias of the hierarchical structures and thought-modes of the early empire. Art, architecture, metrical and Linguistic change, ceremonial, coins, religious controversies and literary expression all provide evidence for a shift in cognitive style

  • Space and Scenery in Quintus of Smyrna, Claudian and Nonnus

    Open AccessR F NewboldARTICLERamus1981References: 7

    An important if limited contribution to the study of space and scenery in classical epic was made in 1976 with the publication of Early Epic Scenery: Homer, Virgil and the Medieval Legacy , by T. M. Andersson. Andersson's deliberate ignoring of the contributions of Hellenistic, Silver Age and late Greek and Latin epic are omissions which sometimes lead to distorted judgments. This article seeks to fill in part one of these gaps by examining spati…

  • Cassius Dio and the Games

    R F NewboldARTICLEL antiquité classique1975Cited by: 1

    Cassius Dio is keenly interested in the Roman games. By listing and categorising all the features of performances that he mentions as taking place, and all measures or events which affected or the games as an institution, one can see what it is about the games that he considers to be most important. Dio's opinions are also manifested by some explicit judgements when narrating material concerning the games. He is most concerned with the cost of th…
