Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. None. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. "Sicily's central location and natural resources have meant that various peoples have sought to conquer, control and settle on the island throughout its 3000-year history. Its Italian identity, with which we are familiar today, emerges only comparatively recently. Under the successive rule of Greeks, Muslim Arabs, and medieval Normans, the island achieved a distinctly heterogeneous identity, becoming at times a major political actor in the Mediterranean and one of the wealthiest and most culturally prosperous places in the region. This book is the catalog that the British Museum is publishing for its major Spring 2016 exhibition, Sicily: Culture and Conquest. Written by two curators at the British Museum, this book highlights Sicily's long history as a cultural crossroads and battleground between empires and faiths. The book is illustrated with 200 images of objects from the British Museum's collection of Sicilian art and artifacts spanning almost 3000 years. Through text and art, the book uses art, architecture, and a remarkable selection of objects--from monumental metopes and beautiful mosaics to reliquary pendants and chess pieces (many revealing a distinct Sicilian character and style)--to provide a visually stunning insight into the key periods of Sicily's extraordinary past"--.…

About the book >.>.> Sicily: Culture and Conquest, authored by Dirk Booms and Peter Higgs, serves as an exploration of the island's rich history and cultural heritage, which has evolved through centuries of settlement and conquest. Situated in the Mediterranean and blessed by the fertile volcanic soils of Mount Etna, Sicily has drawn numerous settlers, including Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Normans, each contributing to its diverse cultural tapestry.This book is published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum and centres on two pivotal historical periods when local rulers held power, leading to vibrant cultural developments. The first period showcases the significant Greek expansion that began in the eighth century BC. During this classical golden age, the Greeks established settlements and produced some of the most impressive temples seen in the Mediterranean region. The second highlighted era is the twelfth-century Norman rule, which not only transformed Sicily into a political and military stronghold but also marked it as one of medieval Europe's most culturally innovative and religiously tolerant societies. Under the Norman kings, the island successfully navigated conflicts with Popes, Byzantine emperors, and Arab dynasties, asserting its significance in the face of powerful adversaries.The book features over 200 remarkable artefacts sourced from Sicilian museums and international collections, including sculptures, gold jewellery, mosaics, and textiles. Sicily: Culture and Conquest captures the essence of the island's history and offers readers a captivating glimpse into its complex and layered cultural identity. (MP).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Latin inscriptions can appear daunting a jumble of letters without any structure or meaning. However, once you know how, most are easy to read as they follow strict rules of grammar and abbreviation. This book will teach readers how to decipher them and will highlight how even the smallest piece of information that an inscription may provide can help classicists and archaeologists to reconstruct the daily life of ordinary Romans. While surviving literature often only relates to the lives of the elite (who could afford books), inscriptions were texts used by all and meant to be seen by all. Thus, they shed light on the lives of those classes of people less visible in the archaeological record the poor, slaves and women. Illustrated with the best examples of inscriptions from the British Museums Roman collection, this book will explore the meaning of putting up public inscriptions and the standardised system of abbreviation that was used to ensure Romans from all areas of the Empire could read them. Written in the simple everyday-life Latin, they also reflect linguistic changes within society, allowing the modern day scholar to uncover the introduction of slang words and new spellings of Latin words. We may also stumble across spelling mistakes, for not everyone knew how to write Latin fluently, and often we find that words had been written phonetically. If the text of the inscriptions can give us one part of the information, often the style of decoration around the inscription, the accompanying images, or the original location can tell us even more. Every aspect of an inscribed monument was carefully chosen by the person commissioning the inscription, and thus carried specific meaning, and so combined with the texts of the inscriptions, it is possible to reconstruct pieces of the lives of everyday Romans that were thought most valuable to be remembered.…

Its Italian identity, with which we are familiar today, emerges only comparatively recently.
