Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 1999. XII,306p. ills.(B&W photographs). Original dark blue hard cover with pictorial dust wrappers. Nice copy. 'This is a traditional, chronological, and undertheorized account of political stagecraft from the late Republic to Nero. The book opens with a discussion of the 'setup': a brief account of spectacular occasions themselves, of the types of performance that might take place at them (.), and of certain other events such as triumphs and circus processions. Not all aspects of spectacle are dealt with in equal detail (.). The discussion of traditional theatre (plays and setting) is more detailed, if not totally consistent. (.) The restof the book is taken up with a discussion of how they used and manipulated public spectacle (.). These chapters are on the whole clear and well-informed. The text contains many quotations from ancient literary sources, and the footnotes and bibliography abound with references to recent scholarship on the subject. (.) B.'s decision to present a straightforwardly chronological account whose focus is squarely upon the big names of Roman history, and upon the familiar entertainments of the city of Rome, is unnecessarily restrictive. A more thematic approach might have been more productive.' (ONNO M. van NIJF in The Classical Review (New Series), 2001, pp.117-118).…

Zustand: Gut. Xii, 306 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - The presentations in the theater, gladiatorial combats, chariot races in the circus, animal hunts, triumphal processions, and other public entertainments of early imperial Rome served as tangible expressions of Roman ideology and power. This engagingly written book describes these lavish spectacles, traces their evolution under Romes political masters from Caesar to Nero, and discusses their social and political significance. -- Drawing on primary accounts of ancient historians as well as on archaeological evidence, Richard C. Beacham examines the stagecraft of Roman statecraft, providing illuminating accounts of such episodes as the intensely theatrical rivalry of Caesar and Pompey, Augustuss performance in what the Princeps himself called the "mime of life," and the demented antics of Caligula. He shows how Roman politicians and emperors created awesome spectacles of mass appeal in a potent exercise of demagoguery. He argues that the Roman people in turn jealously guarded their right to be entertained, regarding the theater, circus, and arena as political venues in which to demonstrate their power and vent their opinions.
