broché. Condition: Neuf. Traduit par Marianne Coudry. Avant-propos de Marianne Coudry. Préface de J. M. Madsen. Rédigé par l un des meilleurs spécialistes actuels, cet ouvrage au style alerte présente la vie d un historien majeur de la Rome antique et l originalité de son oeuvre. Dion Cassius, un aristocrate originaire d Asie mineure devint à Rome haut fonctionnaire et conseiller d un des empereurs de la dynastie des Sévères, au début du IIIe siècle ap. J.-C., puis rentra dans sa patrie pour y rédiger, en grec, une monumentale histoire de Rome, des origines à son propre temps. Des quatre-vingts livres qui la composaient, seule une partie est conservée intégralement, mais les fragments qui nous sont parvenus suffisent pour évaluer l ampleur et l intérêt de son projet. Car ce n est pas seulement un déroulé de l histoire de Rome qu il propose, mais une analyse ambitieuse des grandes phases de son histoire, envisagée sous l angle des institutions, en décrivant ses régimes politiques successifs et le comportement de ses dirigeants. Son Histoire romaine est un ouvrage sous-tendu de bout en bout par un fil conducteur explicite : l idée que seule une monarchie, exercée avec modération, est à même de maintenir la paix intérieure et la domination mondiale de Rome. Cette cohérence de la pensée de Dion, accompagnée de la précision des informations qu il donne et de l agrément de la forme, en font un historien précieux qu il est temps de mieux connaître.

Hardback. Condition: New. In 66 BCE, in the woods of Armenia Minor, Pompey the Great defeated Mithridates VI Eupator, making him one of the most successful Roman generals of all time. The victory presented him with the enormous challenge of organizing not only Mithridates' kingdom but also large parts of Anatolia and the Near East that were now placed under Roman rule. Pompey's solution was to found six new cities and to convert two existing communities, Zela, a temple community dedicated to the goddess AnaÏtis, and Amaseia, the former royal residence, into cities as well. There would now be eight city-states, each with the responsibility of administering the territory known to the Romans as Pontus. It has often been argued that in their eastern provinces the Romans based newly founded cities on the model of the Greek city-state and that Roman culture had less influence there than in the West. Jesper Majbom Madsen, however, describes civic development in Roman Pontus as a process by which Roman and Greek elements were introduced simultaneously. He contends that the Pompeian cities were neither traditional Greek poleis nor entirely Roman settlements with Roman laws and legislation; nor were they Greek cities gradually influenced by Roman rule. Instead, they represented a third category, in which a citizen could be an Anatolian, Greek, and Roman at the same time as well as a member of the elite, a priest in the imperial cult and in a cult to Asclepius, a local politician and a member of the Pontic koinon, all without contradiction. Bringing together a wide range of literary, historical, and political sources, From Trophy Towns to City-States examines how Pompey's cities were initially organized, how they developed over time, and how inhabitants in this part of the Roman Empire defined themselves culturally and politically.…
