Item description from seller

pp. 20-29. With dedication of the author. - From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly bumped, author's name handwritten on the cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: One fundamental question is already implied in the use of the word policing A glance at the scholarly literature shows that policing is used in the context of Roman history with respect to the aediles and the tresviri capitales, or as an equivalent of magisterial coercitio ; or it is applied to the vigiles, the cohortes urbanae or the cohortes praetoriae of the Principate as well as to the respective praefecti ; and, of course, to the various controlling bodies and agents of the Later Roman Empire. This is at least partly due to the fact that the fundamental nineteenth-century works reflect a usage of policing which oscillates between the description of a function, i.e. securing public order, on the one hand and the designation of a specialized agency to fulfil this function on the other hand. This is due to the fact that the establishment of a specialized law-enforcement apparatus only took place during the (eighteenth and) nineteenth century. - Wikipedia: Wilfried Nippel (* 31. Januar 1950 in Wuppertal) ist ein deutscher Althistoriker. Er gilt als einer der führenden Kenner der Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Althistorie. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
