Brandon, Manitoba J. R. Patterson (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution Photo by Jacob Boomsma / istockphoto.com In the Toronto airport, a young woman moved her bag from a seat so that someone might sit down. "You can sit here, eh. I'm from Brandon, in 'Friendly Manitoba,' and we live up to that motto." Then she told a story that involved her brother crashing a car, her cousin being stabbed, and two separate visits to two different met…
Of Cattle and Men by Ana Paula Maia (review)
Reviewed by: Of Cattle and Men by Ana Paula Maia J. R. Patterson ANA PAULA MAIA Of Cattle and Men Trans. Zoë Perry. Edinburgh. Charco Press. 2023. 104 pages. OF CATTLE AND MEN is an excellent book of many dark, quiet questions. What does death mean to men who work in a slaughterhouse, who manually dispatch one hundred heifers and steers a day, six days a week? Their hands and face are accustomed to the feel of blood, their noses to its ferrous sm…

Museum of Miniature BooksBaku, Azerbaijan J. R. Patterson (bio) THERE ARE SOME moments in life when, upon entering a room, you realize you have stumbled upon that disturbing border where passion rubs up against obsession. In Baku, Azerbaijan, that place is the Museum of Miniature Books. On a quiet street within the walled Old City, Zarifa Salahova curates this spectacle of Lilliputian writing. There aren’t many books here that could be held comfo…
Cees NooteboomVenice
Within two years, the church itself had been blown up, its cemetery moved away, and the final inhabitants of the village driven out. These were the final phases of the life of a Sorbian village in Brandenburg that had been condemned to death by judicial and legislative organs of government so that a massive coal producer, LAUBAG, could expand its strip-mining operations for lignite. In the past century, 123 villages and urban districts have been …
Joe SaccoPaying the Land
a skating accident. The Dutch Reformed church her family attends dictates how they mourn Matthies. Jas cannot speak his name or cry. “We are in the world, not of the world,” Dad reminds her. People are not meant to be happy. The church’s theology requires suffering and a belief in the resurrection of the dead. “Next day he’d be born again,” Jas thinks. Dad says that day “will be a day like any other. Matthies will be as entirely expected as He is…
Frugality, Building, and Heirlooms in an Age of Social Mobility
The chapter explores the styles of self-promotion available to elite Romans, ranging from frugal self-restraint and material sobriety to prodigial acts of civic generosity, and analyses the debates over and constraints on luxury and encouragement of frugality with respect to building projects and expensive heirlooms, not least those made of silver, from the late republic to the early imperial period. The chronologically and thematically wide-rang…
Contact, Co-operation, and Conflict in Pre-Social War Italy
This chapter explores the nature and extent of contacts between different parts of Italy, and different peoples of Italy, in the hundred years which preceded the Social War, as reflected in the travels of Saunio around the various communities of the peninsula. Traditionally, the second century BC has been seen as characterised by increasingly close links between Rome and the communities of Italy, culminating in an Italian desire for Roman citizen…

Social Mobility and the Cities of Italy
This chapter discusses the resources of the cities, and the cities’ relationship with benefactors, in the context of the phenomenon of social mobility in the cities of Italy, both below and above the local ordo decurionum (city council), as members of the local aristocracies advanced into the equestrian order and the senate, and were in turn replaced in civic life by men from lower social echelons, often the sons of freedmen. An examination of th…
Conclusion
The final chapter ties together developments in city and countryside revealed by the previous discussions. It outlines two possible models of urban development in this period, emphasizes the increasing hierarchisation of cities in the high empire, and returns to the four areas examined in the first chapter — Campania, Etruria, Samnium, and Lucania — to provide a concluding overview of city-country relationships there. A final case study, of Ligur…
The Rural Landscapes of Imperial Italy
The opening chapter outlines the wealth of evidence for rural settlement in Italy collected in the course of archaeological field survey over the past forty years, the diversity of settlement patterns this reveals, and the methodological issues that arise in interpreting these data, which are summarized in an appendix. It then explores whether increasing or declining numbers of rural sites should be understood as reflecting changes in levels of p…
The Transformation of the City in Imperial Italy
Beginning with case-studies of three former Latin colonies, Cosa, Beneventum, and Interamna Lirenas, this chapter focuses on the changing appearance of the cities of Italy, investigating their supposed decline in the first two centuries AD. A discussion of the evidence for urban life under the high empire leads into an examination of the types of building preferred by the cities and their benefactors, and the extent to which declining overall lev…
Landscapes and Cities
The first two centuries AD are conventionally thought of as the ‘golden age’ of the Roman Empire, yet Italy in this period has often been seen as being in a state of decline and even crisis. This book investigates the relationships between city and countryside in Italy in the early Empire, using evidence from archaeology, literary texts, and inscriptions; it stresses the diversity of situations across Italy, with a focus on individual towns and r…
Greek and Roman Colonisation
On the Margins of the City of Rome
This chapter examines a case-study-or perhaps better, the central case-studyfor issues relating to pollution and marginality in the Roman city, namely the city of Rome itself. Although it involves discussion of literary, epigraphic and legal evidence, the main focus is topographical, as it seeks to assess what the urban layout of Rome, in particular the area which lies between the Servian and Aurelian Walls, might tell us about the activities whi…
Rome in the Late Republic. Problems and Interpretations
The Archaeology of Central and Southern Roman Italy
For the historian of the Roman period, the archaeology of Central and Southern Italy raises (and sometimes provides answers to) a fascinating variety of questions. The Pontine plain and the valleys of the Liri and Sacco were the areas first affected by Roman expansion beyond the Latial plain, and it was here that the Romans tested and perfected the techniques of organization and control of territory that were to be used with such success elsewher…
The City of Rome
This survey article — the first in a new series to be published in the Journal of Roman Studies — is an attempt to review developments in the study of the city of Rome since 1980: a decade which can reasonably be seen as one of the most exciting in this field for a century, in terms not only of the archaeological discoveries and other related research taking place in Rome itself, but also of the increasing integration of the topographical and mon…

A New Measure of Conservatism
A variable of personality which has been shown to have considerable predictive value in both social and clinical psychology is that which is variously labelled authoritarianism, dogmatism, fascism, and anti‐scientific attitude. The term ‘conservatism’ is preferred because it is less value‐toned than other alternatives. Previous tests of this dimension are criticized on a number of grounds and the development of a new test which circumvents these …
