The island of Sicily was a highly contested area throughout much of its history. Among the first to exert strong influence on its political, cultural, infrastructural, and demographic developments were the two major decentralized civilizations of the first millennium BCE: the Phoenicians and the Greeks. While trade and cultural exchange preceded their permanent presence, it was the colonizing movement that brought territorial competition and political power struggles on the island to a new level. The history of six centuries of colonization is replete with accounts of conflict and warfare that include cross-cultural confrontations, as well as interstate hostilities, domestic conflicts, and government violence. This book is not concerned with realities from the battlefield or questions of military strategy and tactics, but rather offers a broad collection of archaeological case studies and historical essays that analyze how political competition, strategic considerations, and violent encounters substantially affected rural and urban environments, the island’s heterogeneous communities, and their social practices. These contributions, originating from a workshop in 2018, combine expertise from the fields of archaeology, ancient history, and philology. The focus on a specific time period and the limited geographic area of Greek Sicily allows for the thorough investigation and discussion of various forms of organized societal violence and their consequences on the developments in society and landscape.

This volume is the result of an international conference held at Sapienza University of Rome in June 2014, which brought together scholars from different countries to re-analyse and re-interpret the events of the First World War, one hundred years after a young Bosnian Serb student from the “Mlada Bosna,” Gavrilo Princip, “lit the fuse” and ignited the conflict which was to forever change the world. The Great War – initially on a European and then on a world scale – demonstrated the fragility of the international system of the European balance of powers, and determined the dissolution of the great multinational empires and the need to redraw the map of Europe according to the principles of national sovereignty. This book provides new insights into theories of this conflict, and is characterized by internationality, interdisciplinarity and a combination of different research methods. The contributions, based on archival documents from various different countries, international and local historiography, and on the analysis of newspaper articles, postcards, propaganda material, memorials and school books, examine ideological and historiographical debates, the memory of the war and its most important contemporary and popular narratives, and the use of propaganda for the mobilization of public opinion, in addition to military, social, political, economic and psychological aspects of the conflict.

This book deals with Vitoria, Charles V and Erasmus. Vitoria’s ideas had a major influence on Charles V and his European and American policy. In turn, Erasmus’ humanism was decisive in the formation of a new international order intellectually discussed by Vitoria and put into practice by the Emperor. Shedding new light on the influence of Francisco de Vitoria and Erasmus on Charles V’s imperial policy, the book’s goal is to explore the impact of Vitoria’s thought with regard to the history of, and contemporary issues in, international law, while also comparing his thinking with that of the well-known humanist Erasmus and assessing their respective influences on the imperial policy of Charles V.

Brill's Companion to Ancient Geography edited by S. Bianchetti, M. R. Cataudella, H. J. Gehrke is the first collection of studies on historical geography of the ancient world that focuses on a selection of topics considered crucial for understanding the development of geographical thought. In this work, scholars, all of whom are specialists in a variety of fields, examine the interaction of humans with their environment and try to reconstruct the representations of the inhabited world in the works of ancient historians, scientists, and cartographers. Topics include: Eudoxus, Dicaearchus, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Agatharchides, Agrippa, Strabo, Pliny and Solinus, Ptolemy, and the Peutinger Map. Other issues are also discussed such as onomastics, the boundaries of states, Pythagorism, sacred itineraries, measurement systems, and the Holy Land.

Cos'era il potere a Roma antica? Un console, un tribuno, un triumviro, di quale autorità erano provvisti e per quali fini? Come veniva giustificata l'esistenza stessa di un uomo al comando e a chi doveva rendere conto? L'imperium di Cesare era diverso da quello di Augusto o di Giustiniano? Il potere a Roma nello studio originale e innovativo di uno dei più grandi storici dell'antichità. La vicenda di Roma, lungo tutto il suo percorso millenario, è accompagnata da un concetto particolarissimo e originale: quello espresso nel termine imperium. Questo vocabolo traduce il rapporto tra il potere nella sua accezione più alta e la sua responsabilità. Nel gestire questa gravosa incombenza il potere deve confrontarsi con una serie di doveri. Ab origine, la responsabilità verso il popolo romano è subordinata a una serie di valori addirittura anteriori alla nascita stessa dell'Urbe, come quello di fides, il rispetto delle regole.A questo concetto sono costretti a rapportarsi tutti i grandi di Roma. Camillo, cui viene attribuita una prima definizione del diritto naturale, che vieta ogni atto in contrasto con la natura dell'uomo; Scipione, il primo imperator, che proclama la superiorità di un singolo sulle strutture. Muove all'azione Silla, l'idealista in cerca di impossibili ritorni al passato; accende Cicerone nella sua teoresi; lo reclama per sé Cesare senza poter conservare né il potere né la vita; lo struttura mirabilmente Augusto, nel nuovo patto con gli dei (la pax Augusta) da cui nascerà la monarchia. L'intero corso della storia imperiale assiste poi a un costante dibattito, che impegna tanto gli stoici quanto la propaganda di corte, gli imperatori-soldati come il pensiero cristiano. Da quest'ultimo ambito uscirà, infine, la struttura tetragona e proiettata nei secoli a venire dell'impero cristiano.

Marco Bettalli, uno dei nostri più approfonditi conoscitori del fenomeno 'guerra' nel mondo antico e specialmente greco, ha scritto un importante libro che non si propone un (impossibile) racconto analitico di infinite vicende ma pone al centro la questione più importante: il rapporto, sul piano dell'etica di massa, del cittadino con la guerra. Luciano Canfora, "Corriere della Sera" Il libro di Bettalli potrebbe sembrare solo un affascinante racconto di scontri, battaglie, vittorie e stragi, magari accompagnato da riflessioni sulle cause politiche ed economiche dei conflitti. Non è così o, meglio, è anche così, ma soprattutto questo è un libro che 'pensa' la guerra antica. La pensa nelle sue motivazioni, nelle sue ideologie, nelle sue innumerevoli connessioni con la cultura e la società delle varie epoche in cui la guerra – unica vera grande costante in tutto il mondo antico – esercitò il suo funesto potere. Maurizio Bettini, "Robinson – la Repubblica" La guerra di Troia, le guerre persiane e del Peloponneso, l'epopea di Alessandro Magno, l'epica lotta di Annibale contro Roma. Nessun greco e nessun romano avrebbe mai potuto concepire un mondo senza guerre. Perché? Cosa voleva dire per un greco e un romano indossare l'armatura e scendere sul campo di battaglia?

Roman identity is one of the most interesting cases of social identity because in the course of time, it could mean so many different things: for instance, Greek-speaking subjects of the Byzantine empire, inhabitants of the city of Rome, autonomous civic or regional groups, Latin speakers under ‘barbarian’ rule in the West or, increasingly, representatives of the Church of Rome. Eventually, the Christian dimension of Roman identity gained ground. The shifting concepts of Romanness represent a methodological challenge for studies of ethnicity because, depending on its uses, Roman identity may be regarded as ‘ethnic’ in a broad sense, but under most criteria, it is not. Romanness is indeed a test case how an established and prestigious social identity can acquire many different shades of meaning, which we would class as civic, political, imperial, ethnic, cultural, legal, religious, regional or as status groups. This book offers comprehensive overviews of the meaning of Romanness in most (former) Roman provinces, complemented by a number of comparative and thematic studies. A similarly wide-ranging overview has not been available so far.

These twenty-four papers originated at a conference held in 1999 which was dedicated to Xenophon's writings and to the many areas of Greek life for which he is a major source. The contributions, which also reflect the problems of recreating a life that we have so few facts for, are divided into seven sections which discuss: Xenophon's life; Xenophon and Socrates; Xenophon and the barbarian world; Sparta; religion and politics; Anabasis ; Hellenica . These wide-ranging papers are specialised, often based on a close reading on Xenophon's texts, and not all of the Greek is translated. Eighteen papers, plus the introduction, are in English; the remaining papers are in Italian or German.
