The Antonines: The Roman Empire in Transition
by Michael Grant
Hardcover, 210 pages
Published by Routledge
Publication date: Dec 1994
The distinguished, prolific classical historian (Constantine the
Great, p. 681, etc.) here critically examines the reigns of the Roman
Empire's three Antonine emperors (a.d. 138192). Eighteenth-century
historian Edward Gibbon considered the reigns of Antoninus Pius (a.d.
138161) and Marcus Aurelius (a.d. 161180) the period ``during which
the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous.'' Grant

Augustan Culture: An Interpretive Introduction
by Karl Galinsky
Paperback, 488 pages
Published by Princeton Univ Pr
Publication date: Feb 1998
Grand political accomplishment and artistic productivity were the
hallmarks of Augustus Caesar's reign (31 B.C. to A.D. 14), which has
served as a powerful model of achievement for societies throughout
Western history. Although much research has been done on individual
facets of Augustan culture, Karl Galinsky's book is the first in
decades to present a unified overview, one that brings together
political and social history, art, literature, architecture, and
religion. Weaving analysis and narrative throughout a richly
illustrated text, Galinsky provides not only an enjoyable account of
the major ideas of the age, but also an interpretation of the creative
tensions and contradictions that made for its vitality and influence. |
