  • Time Out Romeby Editors of Time Out

    Time Out 2011; US$ 9.99

    Written by local experts, Time Out Rome provides extensive coverage of the major sights — and then goes much further. Featuring everything from born-again trattorie to the burgeoning apertif trend, it offers visitors the chance to experience the Eternal City as the Romans do. History in Rome is not confined to museums, basilicas and galleries — it tumbles out everywhere. And though the city is reassuringly compact, this does not stop the cultural onslaught from being utterly bewildering and exhausting. While some travelers may have to face the fact that they probably won't see everything, it is also important not to shut oneself up inside all day looking at collections and sites or you will miss all that the outdoor scene has... more...

  • Regional Pathways to Complexityby Peter Attema; Gert Jan Burgers; Martijn van Leusen

    Amsterdam University Press 2011; US$ 69.95

    Synthesizing almost 30 years of Dutch archaeological research in central and southern Italy, this book discusses and compares settlement and land use patterns from the late protohistoric period to the late Roman Republic.

The culmination of a joint project conducted between 1997 and 2005, the comparative perspective offered by this book is based on the results of long-term landscape archaeological fieldwork projects by the... more...

    Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2011; US$ 53.56

    Hauptbeschreibung Im Mittelpunkt steht die Entwicklung der kultisch-religiösen Kaiserverehrung in der römischen Provinz Asia, in der Zeit von Augustus bis zu Antoninus Pius. Dabei wird insbesondere die provinziale Ebene, weniger hingegen die munizipale in den Blick genommen. Hieran lassen sich signifikante und für die gesamte Provinz bedeutsame Entwicklungslinien am deutlichsten aufzeigen. Die Analyse des archäologischen, epigraphischen, numismatischen und literarischen Quellenmaterials zeigt, dass mit der Verehrung des Augustus - dem Begründer des Prinzipats - ein erster Höhepunkt in der kultisch-religiösen Kaiserverehrung erreicht worden ist. Über diesen Höhepunkt reicht erst die kultisch-religiöse Verehrung des von 117-138 n.Chr. regierenden... more...
