This book affords new perspectives on urban disasters in the ancient Roman context, attending not just to the material and historical realities of such events, but also to the imaginary and literary possibilities offered by urban disaster as a figure of thought. Existential threats to the ancient city took many forms, including military invasions, natural disasters, public health crises, and gradual systemic collapses brought on by political or economic factors. In Roman cities, the memory of such events left lasting imprints on the city in psychological as well as in material terms. Individual chapters explore historical disasters and their commemoration, but others also consider of the effect of anticipated and imagined catastrophes. They analyze the destruction of cities both as a threat to be forestalled, and as a potentially regenerative agent of change, and the ways in which destroyed cities are revisited — and in a sense, rebuilt— in literary and social memory. The contributors to this volume seek to explore the Roman conception of disaster in terms that are not exclusively literary or historical. Instead, they explore the connections between and among various elements in the assemblage of experiences, texts, and traditions touching upon the theme of urban disasters in the Roman world.

Focusing on forms of interaction and methods of negotiation in multicultural, multi-ethnic and multilingual contexts during Antiquity and the Middle Ages, this volume examines questions of social and cultural interaction within and between diverse ethnic communities. Toleration and coexistence were essential in all late antique and medieval societies and their communities. However, power struggles and prejudices could give rise to suspicion, conflict and violence. All of these had a central influence on social dynamics, negotiations of collective or individual identity, definitions of ethnicity and the shaping of legal rules. What was the function of multicultural and multilingual interaction: did it create and increase conflicts, or was it rather a prerequisite for survival and prosperity? The focus of this book is society and the history of everyday life, examining gender, status and ethnicity and the various forms of interaction and negotiation.

More than any other type of environment, with the possible exception of mountains, the sea has been understood since antiquity as being immovable to a proverbial degree. Yet it was the sea's capacity for movement – both literally and figuratively through such emotions as fear, hope and pity – that formed one of the primary means of conceptualizing its significance in Late Antique societies. This volume advances a new and interdisciplinary understanding of what the sea as an environment and the pursuit of seafaring meant in antiquity, drawing on a range of literary, legal and archaeological evidence to explore the social, economic and cultural factors at play. The contributions are structured into three thematic parts which move from broad conceptual categories to specific questions of networks and mobility. Part one takes a wide view of the Mediterranean as an environment with great metaphorical and symbolic potential. Part two looks at networks of seaborne communication and the role of islands as the characteristic hubs of the Mediterranean. Finally, part three engages with the practicalities of tackling the sea as a challenging environment that needs to be challenged politically, legally and for the means of travel.

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius is a forensic examination of two of the most famous letters from the ancient Mediterranean world: Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae 6.16 and 6.20, which offer a contemporary account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. These letters, sent to the historian Tacitus, provide accounts by Pliny the Younger about what happened when Mt Vesuvius exploded, destroying the surrounding towns and countryside, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, and killing his uncle, Pliny the Elder. This volume provides the first comprehensive full-length treatment of these documents, contextualized by evidence-rich biographies for both Plinys, and a synthesis of the latest archaeological and volcanological research which answers questions about the eruption date. A new collation of sources results in a detailed manuscript tradition and an authoritative Latin text, while commentaries on each letter offer copiously referenced insights on their structure, style, and meaning. Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius offers a thorough companion to these letters, and to the eruption, which will be of interest not only to those working on Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum, and the works of Pliny but also to general readers, Latin students, and scholars of the Roman world more broadly.

A História Definitiva da Idade de Ouro de Roma No seu auge, o Império Romano era o Estado mais rico e formidável que o mundo já tinha visto. Estendendo-se da Escócia à Arábia, geria os destinos de cerca de um quarto da humanidade. Começando no ano em que quatro Césares governaram sucessivamente o Império,e terminando cerca de sete décadas depois, com a morte de Adriano, Pax: Guerra e Paz na Idade de Ouro de Roma revela-nos a história deslumbrante de Roma no apogeu do seu poder. Tom Holland, reconhecido historiador e autor, apresenta um retrato vivo e entusiasmante dessa era de desenvolvimento: a Pax Romana - da destruição de Jerusalém e Pompeia, passando pela construção do Coliseu e da Muralha de Adriano e pelas conquistas de Trajano. E demonstra, ao mesmo tempo, como a paz romana foi fruto de uma violência militar sem precedentes. Os elogios da crítica: "É raro encontrarmos um livro que transforma o modo como compreendemos o mundo." The Spectator "Raramente o passado distante pareceu tão vívido." Financial Times "Tom Holland é um contador de histórias com um olho excelente para o detalhe." The Economist "Uma narrativa meticulosa. Os fãs da história romana vão querer ler." Publishers Weekly "Tom Holland tem um invejável dom para evocar as cores, os indivíduos e a animação do passado." The Independent "A soberba narrativa de Tom Holland leva-nos diretamente a esta era, oferecendo novas e vívidas perspectivas sobre uma história já conhecida." The Guardian "Tom Holland escreveu um livro magnífico e ricamente detalhado." Literary Review "Uma história abrangente de Roma no seu apogeu. Salve César! Salve Tom Holland!" The Times

평화는 결코 평화롭게 오지 않았다! 로마인의 시선으로 꿰뚫는 팍스 로마나의 진정한 의미 로마가 이룩한 평화, 즉 ‘팍스 로마나’로 상징되는 로마의 전성기에는 사실 그 의미가 무색할 만큼 위기가 끊이지 않았다. 특히 네로 황제의 사후부터 하드리아누스 황제에 이르는 70여 년에는 찬탈과 내전, 외적의 침입과 속주의 반란, 자연재해 등 사건사고가 터져 나왔다. 그러나 시련들을 이겨내고 로마 제국은 유례없는 최고의 국가로 다시 우뚝 섰다. 제국의 붕괴를 막고 평화를 회복한 이때야말로 팍스 로마나의 진가가 드러나는 시기였다. 타고난 이야기꾼이자 세계적인 역사 저술가 톰 홀랜드는 당시 치열했던 로마 제국의 역사를 실감나게 펼쳐 보인다. 특히 주목해야 할 것은 톰 홀랜드의 시선이다. 치밀한 고증을 바탕으로 시공간을 뛰어넘어, 당대 로마인의 관점에서 역사를 있는 그대로 이해하고자 했다. 로마인의 독특한 습속도 적나라하게 소개할 뿐만 아니라 팍스 로마나를 이룩할 수 있었던 근본적인 관념과 미덕을 발견한다. 이를 통해 역사를 바라보는 시야를 확장하고 평화의 진정한 의미를 새롭게 통찰한다.
