One cannot hope to understand Roman politics or the successes and failures of theRomans without first coming to grips with Rome's remarkably durable and resilientgoverning class. The thousands of prosopographical entries in the Real-Encyclopadie derclassischen Altertumswissenschaft and the Prosopographia Imperii Romani remain thereforean indispensible resource for any serious student of Roman history, but there is a growingneed to bring them up-to-date by correcting errors of fact and omissions, by taking account of subsequent discoveries and more recent historiographical developments, and by revisiting the evidence to verify some basic assumptions. Moreover, ever since the publication of Matthias Gelzer's ground-breaking treatise on the Roman nobility many scholars have been working towards a more precise and sophisticated taxonomy of the Roman elite: witness, for instance, the work of C. Nicolet and M. Stemmler on the equestrian order, T. P. Wiseman's New Menin the Roman Senate and the studies of the nobilitas by Keith Hopkins and Graham Burton,and K.-J. Holkeskamp, or the research on the broader Italian aristocracy and its interactionwith the Roman elite by the likes of G. Camodeca, M. Torelli, and M. Cebeillac-Gervasoni, as well as the multitude of prosopographical studies devoted to specific individuals and families by many different hands. My aim is to make a contribution towards this goal by documenting marriage patterns in the Roman elite in order to gain a clearer understanding of the composition and evolution of the Roman aristocracy. As an aristocracy of office subject to the constraints of popular suffrage, the Roman Republican elite was not the sole arbiter of its own destiny, for despite its electoral influence, it did not exercise unfettered control over who was admitted to the senate and to the nobilitas. But marriage, and to a lesser extent adoption, gave established elite families an important say in elite recruitment because the rates of endogamy and exogamy in elite families determined whether bloodlines and property were concentrated within established families, or were more widely dispersed. What is more, in the ethos of the Roman elite and in the milieu which they inhabited an individual's maternal and paternal ancestry, and their relations by blood and marriage (adfines) were vitally important. They were intrinsic to the elite's own sense of identity and inseparable from their rank and popular standing, they influenced an individual's expectations and opportunities in life (especially when seeking the approval of the status-conscious Roman electorate), and helped shape their outlook and their actions. The first step therefore is to accurately map the Roman elite in as much detail as the surviving evidence allows.

In this lively and detailed study, Beth Severy examines the relationship between the emergence of the Roman Empire and the status and role of this family in Roman society. The family is placed within the social and historical context of the transition from republic to empire, from Augustus' rise to sole power into the early reign of his successor Tiberius. Augustus and the Family at the Birth of the Roman Empire is an outstanding example of how, if we examine "private" issues such as those of family and gender, we gain a greater understanding of "public" concerns such as politics, religion and history. Discussing evidence from sculpture to cults and from monuments to military history, the book pursues the changing lines between public and private, family and state that gave shape to the Roman imperial system.

Winslow Williams Clifford ist einer der wenigen Historiker, die sich bisher auf der Basis von theoretischen Ansätzen der Geschichte und Kultur des sogenannten Mamlukensultanates (1250–1517) gewidmet haben. In diesem Band erscheint nun posthum seine 1995 an der University of Chicago eingereichte Dissertation. Durch die geschickte Benutzung gesellschaftstheoretischer Ansätze gelingt es Clifford, sehr überzeugend zu zeigen, dass der mamlukische Herrschaftsverbund – wie lange Zeit behauptet – keine statische »Orientalische Despotie« darstellte, sondern im Gegenteil eine sehr ausdifferenzierte Gesellschaft war. Sie fußte vor allem auf der Einhaltung eines komplexen Ordnungssystems, das sich während der Herrschaft der ersten Sultane etabliert hatte.

Household Interests is one of the first books to explore in-depth the nature of the Greek household (oikos) in classical Athens. Whereas the oikos traditionally has been defined as the household of the nuclear family in Greece, Cheryl Anne Cox reveals it as a much more fluid structure, taking care to distinguish between the concepts of "household" and "family." The legal basis of the typical elite household emerges as Cox describes marriage patterns or strategies among the families represented in Attic orations and funerary inscriptions: property interests were a strong motivating force, with the elite marrying within their kin, primarily through paternal lines in which property was transferred. The author ultimately shows that the household was not limited to "family" or kinspeople. Friends, neighbors, concubines or prostitutes, and slaves also shared in property interests and all could have a profound influence on the household. After first examining marriage patterns, Cox turns to inter-family relationships. Using anthropological sources and historical studies of European societies, she shows how property interest shaped often conflicted relations between parents and their children and among brothers, and yet it encouraged male charity toward sisters. Cox next considers how property transfer through adoption, guardianship, and remarriage, and the intervention of friends, concubines, and slaves, all contributed to expanding the boundaries of the household beyond kin.

Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women to reveal how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world. The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including: * the mythical constructions of epic and drama * the love poems of Ovid * the Greek medical writers * Augustine's autobiography * a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave * the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens. They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected. This erudite and well-documented book provokes questions about how we can hope to recapture the experience and subjectivity of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference, such as class, gender and status. Women and Slaves in Classical Culture offers a stimulating and frequently controversial insight into the complexities of gender and status in the Greco-Roman world.
