Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The uprising of the slaves against the Romans in 73 BC, led by the gladiator Spartacus, has been an inspiration to generations of people who have stood up against oppression. By the time he was captured by Marcus Licinius Crassus in 71 BC and executed by crucifixion, his army of around 90 000 slaves and dispossessed had defeated several Roman armies and devastated much of the southern part of the Italian peninsula. For Karl Marx, Spartacus was 'the most splendid fellow that all ancient history has to show; great general, noble character, real representative of the ancient proletariat'. For Grassic Gibbon, a lifelong Marxist International and successful historian of early civilisations, Spartacus allowed him to focus on his fiercely held beliefs in the nature of society, the freedom of the individual, and the inevitable collapse of 'civilisation'.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A major new history of one of the greatest and most epic mysteries: the strange death of the Roman Empire. For half a millenium the empire of Rome stretched from Hadrian's Wall to the river Euphrates, a massive fortified state founded on military might and the pilllars of civilization - writting, the city, and the rule of law. But beyond these frontiers lay other lands, the lands of seemingly anarchic warrior tribes, the land of the Barbarians. The opening scenes of Gladiator are based on the victories of Marcus Aurelius over one such tribe, the Marcommani. Two hundered years later the Romans still seemed invincible, routing 30,000 Alamanii at the battle of Strasbourg. However, within a generation, the foundations of this order were shaken to their core, and Roman armies, as one contemporary put it, "vanished like shadows". What had happened? Covering the last 100 years of Empire, a period full of great battles, treachery, and characters as wild as Attila the Hun, Peter Heather shows how the Empire gave way before the relentless and deliberate onslaught of the Huns, Goths and Vandals. These tribes, originating in Eastern Europe, finally conquered large tracts of the old Empire, sacking Rome itself and defeating Roman armies on land and sea.

Allen Lane / Penguin, London, 2005. XVI,694,(8),(8),(8),(8)p. ills.(B&W and some full colour photographs and line drawings). Hard bound with dust wrps. Signature on title page. Pages a bit yellowed due to paper quality. Else fine. 'Lane Fox's basic message is that an enormous amount is lost in the split that most modern writers make between Greek history on the one hand, and Roman on the other. For a start, despite our usual assumption that Greek civilisation came first, the two cultures developed side by side: Rome, according to the Romans' own dating, was founded less than 20 years after the first Olympic Games. More important, Greece and Rome were constantly interacting, and not just in that Greece was eventually swallowed up in the Roman empire. There were statues of Greek celebrities in the Roman forum from as early as the fourth century BC. And Rome's neighbours in Etruria were eager consumers of Athenian pottery from the sixth century on: the vast majority of 'Greek' decorated pottery in our museums was actually found in Italy. The emperor Hadrian represents the acme of that process of interaction. He was a Roman who more or less became a Greek. (.) It is for this reason that Hadrian provides the linking thread through Lane Fox's great sweep. (.) Lane Fox is an excellent storyteller and manages to make an engaging read out of some dry and slightly old-fashioned material. This is partly because he is not afraid to let his own likes and dislikes show. His wistful account of what might have happened if history had gone the other way and Antony and Cleopatra had defeated Octavian is memorably partisan. There would have been a regeneration of Greece and Egypt, no shortage of heirs to the throne - and poor Horace would have been spared writing all that 'morally correct public poetry'. He also has a keen eye for a telling or unusual detail. Ever the huntsman (and horticulturalist), he points out that perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of the great war between the Greeks and Persians in the early 5thcentury BC were the Greek horses. For the invading Persians brought with them the seeds of 'Median grass', which would provide an altogether superior diet for the equine population of the Greek world. But why stop with Hadrian? Why not look beyond to the philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius (in many respects as Greek as Hadrian) or to the excesses of Commodus the gladiator? It is true, in a way, that Hadrian does represent the first time that 'Greekness' and 'Romanness' meld in such a decisive way. It is true, too, that the reign of Hadrian heralded changes that looked forward to the very different world of the late - and soon to be Christian - Roman empire. Yet it is also the case that Hadrian is where the Oxford university syllabus traditionally placed the end of ancient history. That is the real stable from which this book emerges. It is almost as if we are eavesdropping at a series of New College tutorials, with their party pieces to amuse the disengaged undergraduate and their rigorous discussion of all those old chestnuts that have appeared on examination papers for generations. The Classical World has all the qualities, good and bad, of that style of ancient history teaching: witty, ferociously learned, enormously well read - as well as slightly conservative and decidedly laddish.'
