This book explores the many strategies by which elite Greeks and Romans resisted the cultural and political hegemony of the Roman Empire in ways that avoided direct confrontation or simple warfare. By resistance is meant a range of responses including 'opposition', 'subversion', 'antagonism', 'dissent', and 'criticism' within a multiplicity of cultural forms from identity-assertion to polemic. Although largely focused on literary culture, its implications can be extended to the world of visual and material culture. Within the volume a distinguished group of scholars explores topics such as the affirmation of identity via language choice in epigraphy; the use of genre (dialogue, declamation, biography, the novel) to express resistant positions; identity negotiation in the scintillating and often satirical Greek essays of Lucian; and the place of religion in resisting hegemonic power.

"Autour de Néron est un livre en hommage à Yves Perrin, professeur d'Histoire romaine à l'Université Jean-Monnet de Saint-Étienne et spécialiste international du dernier des Julio-Claudiens et de la Rome antique. Le livre réunit des contributions de collègues et amis structurées autour de la figure de Néron : artifex, dominus et imperator. Elles visitent ces dénominations du prince et dressent un portrait complexe du personnage et de son action. "Artiste", il le demeure incontestablement dans la mémoire collective, principalement comme chanteur et musicien, mais d'autres aspects de son art peuvent aussi être explorés, un Néron ingénieur, avide d'innovation et de précision. Maître de la Maison des Césars — lieux, corps et culture chargés d'histoire quand Néron en prend la tête — il y imprime profondément sa marque dans les dernières années du règne par la construction de la Domus Aurea. La Maison a cependant son histoire et il y évolue et se confronte aux aléas du pouvoir, plus que domestique dans le cas des Césars, et à sa morale. Le pouvoir effectif sur l'Empire occupe la dernière partie de l'ouvrage avec une série d'enquêtes précieuses qui enrichissent l'étude des relations entre le pouvoir central et les communautés de l'espace impérial. Elles mettent en perspective l'histoire souvent égocentrée de Néron et enrichissent la problématique de la centralité du pouvoir."--Page 4 of cover.

"Roman bathhouses are considered to be prime markers when studying romanization in the provinces of the Empire, as these very specific - and archaeologically recognizable - buildings, together with their associated ideas about the body and personal health, introduced a decidedly Roman habit into regions that had hitherto been unfamiliar with (communal) bathhouses and heating technology. While traditionally, studies into Roman baths and bathing have focused on large public baths in the cities of the empire, however, those from the area that now roughly corresponds to modern-day Belgium have often been neglected in recent research as this was an area with few important urban centres. This book for the first time investigates the introduction, spread, and eventual disappearance of Roman-style baths and of bathing habits in this north-western corner of the Roman Empire. A detailed analysis of the architecture, technology, and decoration of both public and private baths is combined with a discussion on the role of bathing in the area's romanization, and supplemented by a fully illustrated catalogue of all bathhouses in the area of study. In doing so, the volume sheds new light not only on the evolution of baths and bathing in this region, but also on their broader role in larger historic processes such as cultural change across the Empire"--publisher.

"Between Sahara and the Sea: Africa in the Roman Empire challenges orthodox views of the story of Africa under Roman domination. It presents a new framework for understanding this and other territories incorporated in the Roman Empire. Based on decades of research in North Africa, David Mattingly's book is a cleverly constructed and innovative account of the history and archaeology of ancient North Africa, with a main focus on the first century BCE to the third century CE. He charts a new path toward a bottom-up understanding of North African archaeology, exploring in turn the differing material culture and experiences of the Roman communities of the military and the urban and rural areas. This important book is the most comprehensive in English on Roman North Africa. It is remarkably rich, with up-to-date references and a host of new ideas and perspectives. Well written and illustrated, with a plethora of maps, it will be required reading for anyone interested in the subject. Rather than emphasising the role of external actors, as studies of 'Roman Africa' have traditionally done, Between Sahara and the Sea focuses on local contributions to the making of Africa in the Roman Empire."--front flap.

"This Companion is the first of its kind on the Roman historian Cassius Dio. It introduces the reader to the life and work of one of the most fundamental but previously neglected historians in the Roman historical canon. Together the eighteen chapters focus on Cassius Dio's background as Graeco-Roman intellectual from Bithynia who worked his way up the political hierarchy in Rome and analyses his Roman History as the product of a politically engaged historian who carefully ties Rome's constitutional situation together with the city's history"-- Provided by publisher.
