Roman Identity. Between Ideal and Performance
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 402 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:10 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503599229.
Summary Recent years have seen a significant increase in migration and displacement. Due to economic, political, and climatic pressures, large numbers of individuals are leaving their countries of origin and settling in new environments and societies. As a result, national identity has increasingly come to the fore in public discourse. Shaping and reshaping national agendas, debates surrounding national identity are affecting policies and influencing voting behaviours. Discourse on this issue is often centred on the idea of autochthony and nativism. Yet we do not encounter such anxieties in ancient Rome, one of the longest-lasting political orders in history. Unlike among the Greeks, the idea of autochthony did not take root among the Romans. Instead, Rome's identity tended to be fluid, accommodating the development of highly variegated and multi-ethnic groups and societies. The purpose of this volume is to understand how the Romans represented themselves and how others defined and regarded them. It aims to identify the various narratives that contributed to the construction of Roman self-representation by raising the following questions: What stories did Romans tell about themselves? How did they enact and perform their selfhood in biographical and autobiographical sources? How did Greek and Judean sources understand and define Roman identity? And, taken together, how did these narratives influence Roman self-perception? Rather than arguing for a monolithic or coherent understanding of Romanitas, this volume explores a variety of performances and manifestations of Roman identity. It focuses both on sources where the self or individual is the primary focus, alongside more general texts dealing with specific elements of Roman identity.

The splendid first edition - with a highly interesting provenance - of Dionyssos Halicarnassos' extremely important ""Roman Antiquities"", also known as ""Early Roman History"", which, together with Livy’s, is the most valuable source to our knowledge of early Roman history. It treats of Rome from its origins to the First Punic War, in twenty books, of which only the first 11 remain extant. Dionysius is the first major historian of early Roman history whose work is now extant, and his seminal “Roman Antiquities” is responsible for most of the knowledge that we have of ancient Rome as well as the primary source for the accounts of the Roman foundation myths, including that of Romulus and Remus. The myth spans the first 2 volumes of the work, beginning with Book I chapter 73 and concluding in Book II chapter 56. Most other ancient historians who wrote about early Roman history almost certainly used Dionysius as a source for their material, which can be traced back to the foundational magnum opus “Roman Antiquities”. Though written from a pro-Roman standpoint, the work was very carefully researched. Dionyssos selected carefully among authorities and preserved a wealth of details that would otherwise not have been known to us today. This seminal editio princeps is of the utmost importance for obvious historic reasons, but also plays a significant role in printing history. It is usually referred to as one of the most beautiful Greek books ever printed (beginning with Harwood), and it is with this edition that Robert Estienne’s son Henri, then merely 15 years old “was introduced to the work of his life, by helping his father correct the text. The book, magnificently printed in “grecs du roi”, has been called (by Harwood) one of the most beautiful Greek books ever printed. It is said that Francois I himself selected the work for publication from a manuscript in his library.” (Schreiber). “EDITIO PRINCEPS. “One of the most beautiful books the Greek press ever produced”, says Harwood. Freytag, in his Adpar.litt.t.ii. 1304-13, treats largely of this splendid edition, and of the books it contains (note: Besides the eleven books of Roman antiquities, it contains the first four chapters of “Ars rhetorica, de Genere dicendi Thukydides,” &c). “Typis vereregiis ac nitidissimis” says Fabricius.” (Dibdin). As often, the present copy of the “Roman Antiquities” is bound with Dionyssos’ rhetorical works “De compositione” etc., described as Schreiber as “Beautiful edition of Dionysius’ rhetorical works, which Robert printed, in “grecs du roi,” as a companion volume to the precious item (i.e. “Roman Antiquities”"" the two works are often found together. Provenance: Abraham du Prat (1616-1660) was a famous French physician and prominent member of l'Académie Montmor, a group of scholars who met in Paris to discuss scientific questions. He corresponded with Hobbes and translated Caspar Bartholin's ""Anatomicae institutiones"". Dibdin: I:507" Schreiber: 91a & 91b Renuard: 68:24 Adams D:626. Brunet II:726.
Roman Names in the Cyclades. Part ?I
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 504 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 col., Language: English. ISBN 9789603710776.
Summary The second volume of the study on the Roman names in the Cyclades completes the contribution to the social history of a marginal zone of the Roman world. It includes prosopographic catalogues of bearers of Roman names attested on Amorgos, Anaphe, Ios, Naxos, Oliaros, Paros, Pholegandros, Thera and attestations connected generally with the Cyclades, but not with a specific island. An extensive introduction presents the historical context and a synthetic overview of the diffusion of Roman names and citizenship in the Cyclades. The book is enriched by two synthetic contributions written by specialists. One of them (El. Sverkos) focuses on the origin of certain characteristic names and the other (P. Doukellis) on the study of 'spatiality' and the sociological parameters of the diffusion of the names as a method for perceiving the complex mechanisms for the construction of personal identities. This work is also a contribution to the epigraphy of the Cyclades, as the prosopographic catalogues were based on autopsy of the published and unpublished epigraphic material, relocation of stones and research in the archive of the Inscriptiones Graecae (Berlin). This method yielded hitherto unknown prosopographic data as well as new readings and interpretations of epigraphic texts which had not been studied for over a century. As part of the documentation, 47 plates include photos of several inscriptions or their squeezes, which are published here for the first time.
