The Neighborhoods of Augustan Rome.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben. Sonst ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed. Otherwise a very good and clean copy. - This volume investigates the neighborhoods of ancient Rome during the reign of the first Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus (27 B.C.E.-14 c.E.). Focusing on a group of neighborhood-based voluntary associations that were important political and social communities for the city�s diverse population of slaves and ex-slaves, it locates the Augustan neighborhoods within the broader context of the history of Rome. John Bert Lott stresses their importance as physical and cultural divisions of the city and investigates the distinctive relationship between local neighborhoods and Augustus himself. An interdisciplinary study that makes use of archaeological, epigraphic, and topographic evidence, this book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the urban life of Rome�s lower classes and to our understanding of the imperial ideology that supported the development of the dynastic Roman monarchy.I Introducing Neighborhoods at Rome and Elsewhere Neighborhoods at Rome Defining Neighborhoods Defining Vici in Ancient Rome Neighborhoods in Modern Thought Voluntary Associations Conclusion Neighborhoods in the Roman Republic Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Neighborhood Religion The Middle Republic The Late Republic Social Disaffection, Popul�s, and Community Action Magistri Vici and Collegia Conipitalicia Neighborhoods in the Final Years of the Republic Conclusion Republic to Empire Julius Caesar The Triumvirate The Augustan Principate Before 7 b.c.e.
