Joint Library ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE SESSION 2016/2017 Library staff This year has been marked by a significant change in the library staff, with the retirement of Colin Annis partway through the session. Colin joined the library in 1979, became Deputy Librarian in 1989, and Librarian in 1995. His departure was marked by a party on the 20 December, attended by over a hundred colleagues and friends. Colin was succeeded by Joanna Ashe, who took up the post towards the end of May 2017. Joanna read Classics at St. Hilda's College, Oxford, has an MSc in library and Information Studies from City University, and has been working at the Royal College of Physicians. For the five months for which the library was without a Librarian, Paul Jackson and Sue Willetts very ably shared the extra responsibilities of the Librarian role between them. Thanks are due to Professor Greg Woolf and Valerie James for their invaluable support. All the library staff took on extra evening and Saturday duties to ensure that the library could remain open as usual. Extra support was also provided by our library casual assistants. The previous year’s Winnington-Ingram Trainee, Louise Wallace, stayed on 3 days a week to cover while Flor Herrero Valdes was on maternity leave, as previously reported. We were fortunate that Louise was able to extend that cover further to help out during the months without a Librarian, and stay with us until the start of June. Louise remains nearby, as she is currently working part time for the Roman Society. We welcomed Flor back from maternity leave in February 2017. Her son, Ulysses, was born in August 2016. The Winnington-Ingram Trainee for this session was Naomi Rebis, a Classics graduate from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. During her year with us Naomi, in addition to the usual library duties, was also the voice of the library on Twitter, and updated the library blog. Naomi is going on to do her MA in Library and Information Studies at UCL, but will remain with us to help out with evening and Saturday opening. She will also be working with the Hellenic Society. As ever, we benefited from the services of our Casual Assistants who helped us out with morning shelving, late evening and Saturday opening: Gaetano Ardito, Steven Cosnett, Xavier Duffy and Mary Ruskin. Xavier Duffy departed towards the end of the session, and will be replaced by Naomi Rebis for the next session. To all of these we extend our customary thanks. Collection development The library was fortunate to receive a number of bequests and large donations. These provide valuable additions to the collection, as well as, for books that are duplicates or out of scope, additions to the sale shelves, with the donor’s blessing, to raise funds for the purchase of new publications. One very significant bequest was that of John Casey, consisting of 180 boxes of books, his entire collection, as well as 22 pictures and a percentage of his estate. Other sizable donations were received from Dr Andrew Poulter – 11 boxes, including c.40 books not held by the library; Dr Jennifer Cargill Thompson (née Warren) – c.20 books, plus offprints; Dr Dorothy King – 3 boxes; Dr. María Cruz Fernández Castro – 8 boxes. The library continued to benefit from the kindness of The Classical Association in regularly passing on books not required for review in their journal, Classical Review.

  • Representing Roman Female Suicide. Phd Thesis
    GUILT, REDEMPTION AND RECEPTION: REPRESENTING ROMAN FEMALE SUICIDE ELEANOR RUTH GLENDINNING, BA (Hons) MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2011 Abstract This thesis examines representations of Roman female suicide in a variety of genres and periods from the history and poetry of the Augustan age (especially Livy, Ovid, Horace, Propertius and Vergil), through the drama and history of the early Principate (particularly Seneca and Tacitus), to some of the Church fathers (Tertullian, Jerome and Augustine) and martyr acts of Late Antiquity. The thesis explores how the highly ambiguous and provocative act of female suicide was developed, adapted and reformulated in historical, poetic, dramatic and political narratives. The writers of antiquity continually appropriated this controversial motif in order to comment on and evoke debates about issues relating to the moral, social and political concerns of their day: the ethics of a voluntary death, attitudes towards female sexuality, the uses and abuses of power, and traditionally expected female behaviour. In different literary contexts, and in different periods of Roman history, writers and thinkers engaged in this same intellectual exercise by utilising the suicidal female figure in their works. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Arts and Humanities Research Council for providing the financial assistance necessary for me to carry out this research. The Roman Society also awarded a bursary that allowed me to undertake research at the Fondation Hardt pour I'etude de I'antiquite classique, in Geneva, Switzerland (June 2009). I am also grateful for the CAS Gender Histories bursary award which aided me while making revisions to the original thesis.

  • Human Rights, Social Welfare, and Greek Philosophy Legitimate
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: H Interdisciplinary Volume 15 Issue 8 Version 1.0 Year 2015 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Human Rights, Social Welfare, and Greek Philosophy Legitimate Reasons for the Invasion of Britain by Claudius By Tomoyo Takahashi University of California, United States Abstract- In 43 AD, the fourth emperor of Imperial Rome, Tiberius Claudius Drusus, organized his military and invaded Britain. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the legitimate reasons for The Invasion of Britain led by Claudius. Before the invasion, his had an unfortunate life. He was physically distorted, so no one gave him an official position. However, one day, something unimaginable happened. He found himself selected by the Praetorian Guard to be the new emperor of Roma. Many scholars generally agree Claudius was eager to overcome his physical disabilities and low expectations to secure his position as new Emperor in Rome by military success in Britain. Although his personal motivation was understandable, it was not sufficient enough for Imperial Rome to legitimize the invasion of Britain. It is important to separate personal reasons and official reasons.

  • Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies
    Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Dr. Cheryl Walker, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Hunter M. Bruno May 2018 Copyright by Hunter Bruno © 2018 ABSTRACT Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Hunter M. Bruno The issue of societal sustainability is relevant to both modern and ancient civilizations. Ancient Rome was defined and influenced by the issue of sustainability because it was integral to the fundamental structure of the Roman society. In the 5th Century CE, the fall of the Western Roman Empire took place because of consequences that resulted from the issue of sustainability. The societal factors of grain production, military policy, and labor markets all served to influence the sustainability of the Roman West. Roman military policy defined the nature of the Roman economy and established the type of labor system that it employed. Free and unfree labor markets structured the agrarian economy and formed the Roman system of internal taxation and rent collection. Local and commercial grain producers were relied upon to maintain the populations of the Roman West, uphold the Roman military, and sustain the growing servile populations.

This painful recycling of history should make him—and us—want to know what unhealable wound, what recurrent pathology, what cause too deep for journalists and politicians to discern draws men and women to their deaths again and again in such a place. The history of Rome, as has often been true in the past, has much to teach us.

But on this occasion there are a few matters I would like to draw your attention to before returning to my cocoon of silence. First, on a sadder note, we record the passing of three former colleagues, Minor Markle, Geoff Adams and John Jory. Obituaries for each of them may be found heading the contributions from the Universi- ties of New England, Tasmania, and Western Australia respectively. It is clear from the tone of these obituaries the respect and affection in which each of them was held, and we mourn their loss accord- ingly. Requiescant in pace. Secondly, I would like to thank all the institutional reps for their diligence and persistence in soliciting information from their colleagues for inclusion in the Newsletter over the years.

  • The Classical Association
    SOOCTV fO« TW KOMOTlOn Of H€13«C Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU President: Professor Patricia E. Easterling The Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, generally known as the Hellenic Society, was founded in 1879 to advance the study of Greek language, literature, history, art and archaeology in the Ancient, Byzantine and Modern periods. It has done this ever since by various means, chief among them being the annual publication of the Journal of Hellenic Studies and, since the 1950's, its supplement, Archaeological Reports, which are both supplied free of charge to members of the Society. Occasional monographs also appear in the series Supplementary Papers. The Society also helps to maintain the Joint Library on the third floor of Senate House, in conjunction with the Roman Society and the Institute of Classical Studies. Membership of the Hellenic Society allows the reader to borrow (within the UK) up to four books at a time, either in person or by post. Members may also borrow slides from the Joint Library's extensive collection. The Society also arranges an annual lecture series in London, holds occasional receptions and other meetings, and helps to arrange other lectures in collaboration with the various local branches of the Classical Association. A programme of all these lectures and other meetings is circulated in September. The Society holds a list of lecturers on topics in Hellenic Studies, which is supplied to Classical Associations and others to help them plan their own lecture programmes. The Society aims to help those engaged in Hellenic Studies at all levels, and to this end it makes grants to schools, colleges, universities and individual students.

  • Historical Evolution of ​Roman Infantry Arms And
    HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ROMAN ​ INFANTRY ARMS AND ARMOR 753 BC - 476 AD An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment to the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Evan Bossio Robert Chase Justin Dyer Stephanie Huang Marmik Patel Nathan Siegel Date: March 2, 2018 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Professor Luca Capogna Abstract During its time, the Roman Empire gained a formidable reputation as a result of its discipline and organization. The Roman Empire has made a lasting impact on the world due to its culture, political structure, and military might. The purpose of this project was to examine how the materials and processes used to create the weapons and armour helped to contribute to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. This was done by analyzing how the Empire was able to successfully integrate new technologies and strategies from the regions the Empire conquered. The focus of this project is on the Empire's military, including the organization of the army, and the tactics and weapons used. To better understand the technology and innovations during this time the Roman long sword, spatha, was replicated and analyzed. 1 Acknowledgments The team would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Professor Luca Capogna for this unique experience. The team would also like to thank Anthony Spangenberger for his guidance and time throughout the microstructure analysis. Lastly, this project could not have been done without Joshua Swalec, who offered his workshop, tools, and expertise throughout the manufacturing process 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgments 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Figures 6 List of Tables 11 Authorship 12 1.
