The Romans: an Introduction
The Romans: An Introduction The Romans: An Introduction 2nd edition is a concise, readable, and comprehensive survey of the civilization of ancient Rome. It covers more than 1,200 years of political and military history, including many of the famous, and infamous, personalities who featured in them, and describes the religions, society, and daily life of the Romans, and their literature, art, architecture, and technology, illustrated by extracts in new translations from Latin and Greek authors of the times. This new edition contains extensive additional and revised material designed to enhance the value of the book to students especially of classical or Roman civil- ization, Roman history, or elementary Latin, as well as to general readers and students of other disciplines for whom an understanding of the civilization and literature of Rome is desirable. In particular, the chapter on religions has been expanded, as have the sections on the role of women and on Roman social divisions and cultural traditions. There is more, too, on the diversity and administration of the empire at different periods, on changes in the army, and on significant figures of the middle and later imperial eras. New features include a glossary of Latin terms and timelines. Maps have been redrawn and new ones included along with extra illustrations, and reading lists have been revised and updated. The book now has its own dedicated website packed full of additional resources: www.the-romans.co.uk. Antony Kamm is a former lecturer in publishing studies at the University of Stirling. His other publications include Collins Biographical Dictionary of English Literature (1993), The Israelites: An Introduction (Routledge 1999), and Julius Caesar: A Life (Routledge 2006). -

Davis Model United Nations
DAVIS MODEL UNITED NATIONS Third Servile War Crisis Committee Davis Model United Nations Conference XVI May 19, 2018 - May 20, 2018 Letter from the Head Chair Esteemed Delegates, Welcome to the 2018 Davis Model United Conference (DMUNC)! I have the pleasure to introduce you to the Third Servile War Crisis Committee. In the year 73 BC, as the Ancient Roman Republic is fighting wars overseas to expand its influence and emerge as the superpower of the Mediterranean, a rebellion breaks out at home that threatens the Republic to its very core. The rebels come from the unlikeliest source imaginable: lowly slaves on whose backs the Republic had been built over centuries. From a mere 70 escaped slaves (mostly gladiators) to now an army of thousands that may even march on the city of Rome itself, the Third Servile War represents one of the most memorable conflicts in the history of the Roman Empire. The gladiator Spartacus has rallied his fellow slaves and terrorizes the countryside of one of the world’s greatest empires. His guerilla warfare tactics are unparalleled for the time and are incredibly effective against the more disciplined Roman legions. However, Spartacus is not the only threat to Rome. To the North, the barbaric Germanic tribes are contemplating taking advantage of Rome’s perceived weaknesses at home to launch attacks on its northern frontier. To the West, Sertorius a once loyal Roman subject has began his uprising in Spain. To the East, Mithridates VI of the Kingdom of Pontus has gathered the Kingdom of Armenia, the Kingdom of Iberia, and other enemies of the Roman Republic.
