Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+. Light rubbing to DJ. Former owner's signature.; Freed from the familial and social obligations incumbent on the living, the Roman testator could craft his will to be a literal "last judgment" on family, friends, and society. The Romans were fascinated by the contents of wills, believing the will to be a mirror of the testator's true character and opinions. The wills offer us a unique view of the individual Roman testator's world. Just as classicists, ancient historians, and legal historians will find a mine of information here, the general reader will be fascinated by the book's lively recounting of last testaments. Who were the testators and what were their motives? Why do family, kin, servants, friends, and community all figure in the will, and how are they treated? What sort of afterlife did the Romans anticipate? By examining wills, the book sets several issues in a new light, offering new interpretations of, or new insights into, subjects as diverse as captatio (inheritance- seeking) , the structure of the Roman family, the manumission of slaves, public philanthropy, the afterlife and the relation of subject to emperor. Champlin's principal argument is that a strongly felt "duty of testacy" informed and guided most Romans, a duty to reward or punish all who were important to them, a duty which led them to write their wills early in life and to revise them frequently.; 228 pages. …

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Agudísima revisión histórica del fascinante y decadente emperador romano Nerón La figura de Nerón fascina porque sus actos ?extravagantes, de ordinario escandalosos y a menudo repulsivos? simbolizan la decadencia de Roma. Y este libro, con una inusual combinación de brillantez académica y talento literario, explica por qué. En una astuta revisión del relato histórico que se remonta a Tácito, Suetonio y Dion Casio, el experto Edward Champlin demuestra que Nerón fue en realidad un actor que rastreó sin cesar la historia y la mitología en busca de inspiración y motivos con los que dotar de propósito y justificación a sus actos. Su vida fue puro teatro, pero concebido como legado a la posteridad. Anhelaba la fama y la inmortalidad y alcanzó ambas, aunque no de la manera prevista, pues pasó de héroe a monstruo. Fuentes hostiles unidas a la imaginación popular reelaboraron la imagen de Nerón, pero no la crearon. Y, si esa imagen sigue siendo tan vívida, es porque fue la creación de un artista. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
