Ursus Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 428 AD: An Ordinary Year at the End of the Roman Empire Res Gestae Divi Augusti: Text, Translation, and Commentary (Paperback) A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome: Daily Life, Mysteries, and Curiosities (Paperback) All of these look good to me. I'll probably wait a year to get them cheaply used. But May 2009 looks like a good month for books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingsoc Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The new translation of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti look interesting, at least as far as pages goes it's look like it's be much more extensive than the translation and commentary made by PA Brunt and M Moore in the 60es.

Bryaxis Hecatee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The res gestae seems to be in the midst of a lot of attention those last few years, after other publications like the new french Bude edition by John Scheid which came out less than 5 years ago and gave a modern perspective on the text.

Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The Roman Triumph, Res Gestae Divi Augusti, and Augusta: Roman Empress will be joining my ever growing list of "must reads" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 It will be 'The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity (Hardcover)' for me. Aside from the earlier structures of hadrian and augustus, I had no idea these buildings existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
