Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Despite the importance of the magistracy of the Roman censorship, surprisingly little has been written on this magistracy in the last half a century. This volume, which brings together original research from a variety of international experts in Roman history, will fill this gap in the scholarship, taking into account advancements in recent scholarship on Roman magistracies. The contributors to this volume ask questions about the men who held this magistracy, the historical development of the office, and how each iteration of the magistracy transformed the political, social, and physical environment at Rome and beyond. The essays in this volume explore the tensions between perceptions and realities of the Roman censorship, and consider the Roman censorship from its earliest manifestations to the reinvention(s) of the position under the Roman emperors. Many of the contributions to this volume were first presented at a seminar series held virtually, but hosted by the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford, and will be an essential read for undergraduates, graduates and scholars of the constitutional, economic, social and religious history of the Roman republic and early empire.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book reconstructs the values, expectations and representations of priests and priesthoods in ancient Rome from the republic to the early empire. Challenging preconceived assumptions that Rome's priests were important primarily because of their political currency, Roman Priests from Republic to Empire proposes a more nuanced reading of our ancient evidence for these significant men and women. Considering priests from Rome's mythical and legendary past through tothe early second century CE, this study demonstrates that the social and moral worth of priests was fundamental to Roman thinking in the late republic and into the early empire. It reasserts theimportance of the category of priesthood in ancient Rome, above and beyond other civic or magisterial roles for Romans (for example, those of magistrate or senator), and proves that priests were expected to be of greater moral and social worth than others.Alex A. Antoniou reveals first that there was a Roman vocabulary of virtues which had a particular resonance for Roman priests, which described both the qualities that priests were expected to maintain and the modusoperandi of priests within Roman society. Second, this study demonstrates that priests and priesthoods were fundamental to the ways in which Romans both conceptualised Rome's legendary and historical past,and negotiated the challenges and successes of their current circumstances. Ultimately, this study proves that perceptions of the moral worth and virtue of Rome's priests were embedded in Roman socio-ethical discourse. Roman Priests from Republic to Empire provides a reconceptualisation of the worth of priests and priesthoods in ancient Rome. The book is an essential resource in understanding the intersections between Rome's religious and political culture, demonstrating that the social and moral worth of priests was fundamental to Roman thinking.
