The essays in this collection explore how material culture – namely, art, architecture, and inscriptions – can illustrate Roman attitudes towards the institution of slavery and towards slaves themselves in ways that significantly augment conventional textual accounts. Providing the first interdisciplinary approach to the study of Roman slavery, the volume brings together diverse specialists in history, art history, and archaeology. The contributors engage with questions concerning the slave trade, manumission, slave education, containment and movement, and the use of slaves in the Roman army. Michele George is an associate professor in the Department of Classics at McMaster University.

Ager and Riemer A. Faber Edited by Sheila L. Ager and Riemer A. Faber The Hellenistic period was a time of unprecedented cultural exchange. In the wake of Alexander’s conquests, Greeks and Macedonians began to encounter new peoples, new ideas, and new ways of life; consequently, this era is generally considered to have been one of unmatched cosmopolitanism. For many individuals, however, the broadening of horizons brought with it an identity crisis and a sense of being adrift in a world that had undergone a radical structural change. Belonging and Isolation in the Hellenistic World presents essays by leading international scholars who consider how the cosmopolitanism of the Hellenistic age also brought about tensions between individuals and communities, and between the small local community and the mega-community of oikoumene, or ‘the inhabited earth.’ With a range of social, artistic, economic, political, and literary perspectives, the contributors provide a lively exploration of the tensions and opportunities of life in the Hellenistic Mediterranean. Sheila L. Ager is an associate professor in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo. Riemer A. Faber is an associate professor in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo.

CLASSICS Apuleius and Antonine Rome Historical Essays NEW Keith Bradley Apuleius and Antonine Rome features outstanding scholarship by Keith Bradley on the Latin author Apuleius of Madauros and on the second-century Roman world in which Apuleius lived. Bradley discusses Apuleius’ work in the context of social relations (especially the family and household), religiosity in all its diversity and complexity, and cultural interactions between the imperial centre and the provincial periphery. These essays examine the Apology, the speech Apuleius made when he defended himself on the criminal charge of having enticed a wealthy widow to marry him through magical means; the fragments of his speeches known as the Florida; and the remarkable serio-comic novel Metamorphoses (better known as The Golden Ass). Altogether, Apuleius and Antonine Rome effectively illustrates how sociocultural history can be recovered from works of literature. Keith Bradley is the Eli J. and Helen Shaheen Professor of Classics and Concurrent Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame.

Shaw The annual harvesting of cereal crops was one of the most important economic tasks in the Roman Empire. Not only was it urgent and critical for the survival of state and society, it mobilized huge numbers of men and women every year from across the whole face of the Mediterranean. In Bringing in the Sheaves, Brent D. Shaw investigates the ways in which human labour interacted with the instruments of harvesting, what part the workers and their tools had in the whole economy, and how the work itself was organized. Both collective and individual aspects of the story are investigated, centred on the life-story of a single reaper whose work in the wheat fields of North Africa is documented in his funerary epitaph. The narrative then proceeds to an analysis of the ways in which this cyclical human behaviour formed and influenced modes of thinking about matters beyond the harvest. The work features an edition of the reaper inscription, and a commentary on it. It is also lavishly illustrated to demonstrate the important iconic and pictorial dimensions of the story. Brent D. Shaw is Andrew Fleming West Professor of Classics at Princeton University.

SHAW BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES Economy and Metaphor in the Roman World NEW Perceptions of the Second Sophistic and Its Times – Regards sur la Seconde Sophistique et son époque Edited by Thomas Schmidt and Pascale Fleury The Second Sophistic (50 to 250 BCE) was an intellectual movement throughout the ancient Greek and Roman world. Although it can be characterized as a literary and cultural phenomenon of which rhetoric is an essential component, other themes and values such as peideia, mimesis, the glorification of the past, the importance of Athens, and Greek identity pervade the literature and art of this era. These essays explore the Second Sophistic and describe how the intellectual elites of this period perceived and defined themselves, how they were judged by later authors, and how we understand them today. Thomas Schmidt is professeur ordinaire de philologie classique, Institut des Sciences de l’Antiquité et du Monde byzantin, Université de Fribourg (Suisse). Pascale Fleury is professeure agrégée, Département des littératures, Université Laval. ‘With each article shedding new light on different aspects of the movement, this collection is a major contribution to research and scholarship.’ Alain Billault, Professor, University of Paris–Sorbonne (Phoenix Supplementary Volumes XLIX) 304 pp / 2 tables / 6 x 9 / 2011 Cloth 978-1-4426-4216-4 $75.00 (£52.99) utppublishing.com 37
