This long-awaited volume presents the work of Elizabeth Lyding Will on the important group of transport amphoras found at Cosa. This town has been widely recognized as a prototypical colony of the later Roman Republic and a source for trade with Gaul and Spain, so this publication of its finds has important implications for archaeologists and historians of the ancient world. Will’s initial work was on Latin amphora-stamps in the eastern Mediterranean, and through the 1960s and 1970s she developed an amphora typology based on materials found in the region and at Cosa. What has not been appreciated is that this typology was not limited to stamped Republican amphoras but also included unstamped vessels, such as imperial Spanish, African, and eastern amphoras dating as late as the fifth century CE. This book shows that Will was far ahead of her time in documenting the Mediterranean trade in commodities carried in amphoras: her work not only provides a record of the amphoras found on the town-site of Cosa, but also includes a comparison between the finds from the port and the town. At the time of Will’s death, her manuscript consisted of a typed catalogue of the amphora stamps from Cosa and an equal number of unstamped vessels, but was missing important elements. On the basis of extensive notes and photographs, Kathleen Warner Slane has reviewed and updated the manuscript, adding type descriptions and footnotes to materials that have appeared since Will’s death as well as a framing introduction and conclusions. Appendices highlight an Augustan amphora dump on the Arx and add a catalogue of the Greek amphora stamps found at Cosa. Cosa: The Roman and Greek Amphoras will be of interest to scholars and students of Rome and its system of colonies, and also to those interested in Greek and Roman archaeology and trade in the ancient world.

Cosa, a small Roman town, has been excavated since 1948 by the American Academy in Rome. This new volume presents the surviving sculpture and furniture in marble and other stones and examines their nature and uses. These artifacts provide an insight into not just life in a small Roman town but also its embellishment mainly from the late Republic and through the early Empire to the time of Hadrian. While public statuary is not well preserved, stone and marble material from the private sphere are well represented; domestic sculpture and furniture from the third century BCE to the first CE form by far the largest category of objects. The presence of these materials in both public and private spheres sheds light on the wealth of the town and individual families. The comparative briefness of Cosa’s life means that this material is more easily comprehensible as a whole for the entire town as excavated, compared for instance to the much larger cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

COSA NOSTRA is the compelling story of the Sicilian mafia, the world's most famous, most secretive and most misunderstood criminal fraternity. The mafia has been given many names since it was founded one hundred and forty years ago: the Sect, the Brotherhood, the Honoured Society, and now Cosa Nostra. Yet as times have changed, the mafia's subtle and bloody methods have remained the same. Now, for the first time, COSA NOSTRA reconstructs the complete history of the Sicilian mafia from its origins to the present day, from the lemon groves and sulphur mines of Sicily, to the streets of Manhattan. COSA NOSTRA is a definitive history, rich in atmosphere, and with the narrative pace of the best detective fiction, and has been updated to make it the most vital contemporary account of the mafia ever published. The mob genre has finally grown up.

Cosa was more than a city, it was a beacon of creativity, innovation, and opportunity. Simon Granger, the grandson of one of Cosa's most celebrated architects, lived a life of privilege in this bustling metropolis, surrounded by people of incredible talent and boundless possibility. However, despite his advantages, Simon found himself feeling restless and unfulfilled. Desperate for adventure and eager to explore the unknown, Simon joins his grandfather Arthur on a dangerous journey that takes him deep into the heart of the city. But what starts as innocent thrill-seeking quickly turns perilous, as a series of tragic events propels Simon further into the strange and mysterious history of Cosa. Pursued by the ruthless Agent Collins, Simon finds himself running for his life, guided only by the cryptic words of the powerful Caplan family. He soon realizes that the truth about his family, his city, and his own biology is far more insidious than he ever could have imagined. From the gleaming domes of Cosa to its dangerous underbelly, Simon's journey is a thrilling ride of intrigue, danger, and self-discovery. Grant Nielsen's epic debut science fiction novel is a heart-pumping tale of courage and mystery, set against a backdrop of futurism and social engineering. Though Simon's life in Cosa was rich with possibility, his demeanor and attitude were falling out of step with the shining optimism of his gleaming city. Was adolescence this hard for everyone or was something missing from Simon's privileged life? Lacking the ability to explain or express his shiftlessness, an unquenchable desire for exploration pushes Simon and Arthur to pursue a dangerous and thrilling adventure. However, what begins as innocent thrill-seeking quickly turns perilous. Through a tragic chain of events, Simon is driven through grief and restlessness deep into the strange heart and history of Cosa. Pursued by the sociopathic Agent Collins and guided by the mysterious powerbrokers of the Caplan family, Simon's quest for answers pushes him beyond the help of his family, their collective origins and even his own biology.
