The Roman Emperor Aurelian by John F. White

Aug 20, 2016

In itself, White’s biography of Aurelian is commendable. He persuasively argues that Aurelian is important, and has been unfairly neglected by historians. After all his military victories rival those of Trajan and Vespasian; his work ethic that of Marcus Aurelius. This 3rd century emperor, dubbed the ‘Restorer of the World’ by his contemporaries, deserves attention […]

The Roman Empire’s Greatest Victories by J W Medhurst

Aug 12, 2016

The Roman Empire’s Greatest Victories does not set out to challenge fondly held beliefs. It does not analyse deeply nor criticise aggressively. Instead it’s a modest volume of less than two hundred pages seeking to remind us of battles that perhaps the Romans themselves would have us remember. Those battles that were, in the eyes […]

The Ancient Olympic Games: Third edition by Judith Swaddling

Jul 31, 2016

Since 1896 there have been twenty-eight consecutive modern summer Olympic Games — minus the war years of 1914, 1940, and 1944 — which is a notable achievement. That number, however, pales in comparison with the two hundred ninety-two Games held consecutively at Olympia, Greece between 776 BC and 395 AD. Judith Swaddling, Senior Curator of […]

Tyrants: A History of Power, Injustice, and Terror by Waller R. Newell

Jul 24, 2016

In every walk of life you find experts. Sometimes it’s one of those endless interviews the media delight in after an important event. Sometimes it’s just a headstrong colleague with more opinion than commonsense. The issue is the same with regard to politics, always a subject to raise debates both rational and passionate. Loved or […]

Jewish War under Trajan and Hadrian by William Horbury

Jul 13, 2016

The siege of Jerusalem, the destruction of the Temple, the fall of Masada to the Romans – these dramatic episodes in the First Jewish War (AD 66-70) are well known to students of the ancient world. Hardly known at all to them are the subsequent uprisings in the Diaspora of AD 115-117 and the Second […]

Hercules: The First Superhero by Philip Matyszak

Jul 9, 2016

The superhero is nothing new. Our modern day graphic novels descend directly from the American comic books that emerged in the thirties, as if the United States was seeking hope in a world that was threatened by economic woe and violent conflict. Perhaps oddly for that nation in particular we find the iconic Superman was […]

In Search of our Ancient Ancestors by Anthony Adolph

Jul 3, 2016

An Introduction to the New Testament by Raymond Brown

Jun 19, 2016

Weighing in at 310 pages (including two appendices), this medium-sized book is an encyclopedia-in-brief of the backgrounds (social, historical, theological) of the books, writers and editors of the New Testament, with basic section-by-section summaries, with comments, of each book. The maps and charts are marvels of concision and completeness: typical of all the charts is […]

Staying Roman: Conquest and Identity in Africa and the Mediterranean by Jonathan Conant

Jun 14, 2016

It seems obvious to modern perspectives that at the height of the Roman Empire anyone living within the bounds of the Empire was ‘Roman’. However, it is also obvious that on the boundaries the degree to which the inhabitants accepted their ‘Romanness’ is open to interpretation. Even more crucially, as the Empire decayed there arises […]
