Idioma/Language: Español. Corre el año 26 a. C. Roma busca, en las inexpugnables tierras del norte, cómo conquistar a los indomables cántabros y astures. Mientras la ciudad fortificada de Bérgida se consume en llamas, Sekeios, mercenario autrigón al servicio de Roma, huye del campamento tras un grave incidente con el gobernador de la Tarraconense, Gayo Antistio Veto. Perdido en territorio enemigo, será apresado por guerreros concanos, que lo conducirán a Aracillum, bastión de la resistencia cántabra. El gobernador ha jurado darle caza. Sekeios está solo y, ante él, un viaje sin retorno lo conducirá a arrodillarse ante el temido caudillo Corocotta. Para sobrevivir tendrá primero que enfrentarse al odio y la hostilidad de los montañeses; y después, a la brutal ofensiva de las legiones del princeps Augusto, cuyo objetivo no es otro que hacerse con el control absoluto de la Península Ibérica. Sin embargo, entre sudores, batallas y la caza del lobo, conocerá el amor de Turennia? Todo es conflicto. Un conflicto que pondrá a prueba sus propias convicciones y deseos en el marco de la batalla por la supervivencia de los últimos pueblos libres de Hispania. Una guerra que cambiará el destino del mundo conocido y el suyo propio. Hasta las últimas consecuencias. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.

Julius Caesar stands out as the most famous and readily recognized of Roman names. Who has not heard his famous expression, Veni, Vidi, Vici? Brilliant general, shrewd politician, insightful observer of human affairs, Julius Caesar's reputation is richly deserved. This specially illustrated text focuses on Caesar's Gallic Wars. It has been designed to facilitate the process of translation and make it more natural for readers, since the pictures provide an accurate reconstruction while giving clues for the Latin. The illustrations also bring the text to life, helping readers visualize the famous figures of Roman and Gallic history they will read about. The maps, travel routes, battle plans, and diagrams of military camps and Gallic settlements within the text also help readers make better sense of what seem to be abstract translation passages. By breaking the Latin into conversation bubbles, the text makes the Latin far less intimidating while never compromising the rigor of the text and translation exercise. This format encourages readers to approach the translation bit by bit, thus making it more manageable. And the addition of the illustrations just as naturally encourages readers to use contextual clues and other reading comprehension strategies in the process of translation. Plunge into the Latin and come to understand how Caesar operated. Get in touch with the mind of this military master.

In his Bellum Catilinae, C. Sallustius Crispus or Sallust (86-35/34 B.C.) recounts the dramatic events of 63 B.C., when a disgruntled and impoverished nobleman, L. Sergius Catilina, turned to armed revolution after two electoral defeats. Among his followers were a group of heavily indebted young aristocrats, the Roman poor, and a military force in the north of Italy. With his trademark archaizing style, Sallust skillfully captures the drama of the times, including an early morning attempt to assassinate the consul Cicero and two emotionally charged speeches, by Julius Caesar and Cato the Younger, in a senatorial debate over the fate of the arrested conspirators. Sallust wrote while the Roman Republic was being transformed into an empire during the turbulent first century B.C.The Bellum Catilinae is well-suited for second-year or advanced Latin study and provides a fitting introduction to the richness of Latin literature, while also pointing the way to a critical investigation of late-Republican government and historiography. Ramsey's introduction and commentary bring the text to life for Latin students. This new edition (updated since the 2007 printing) includes two maps and two city plans, an updated and now annotated bibliography, a list of divergences from the 1991 Oxford Classical Text of Sallust, and revisions in the introduction and commentary.

The Bellum Jugurthinum is the second historical monograph (the other is the Catilina) written by C. Sallustius Crispus (probably 86-35 B.C.), a senator, Caesarian general and historian whose political and literary career spanned the violent years which saw the end of the Roman Republic. The Bellum Jugurthinum describes an earlier war fought in North Africa at the end of the 2nd century B.C. against Jugurtha, an ambitious native prince who tried to win sole power in Numidia by challenging his family's traditional dependence on Rome. The main aims of this commentary are to elucidate Sallust's narrative and to clarify his historiographical principles and methods. Such topics as the chronology and topography of the war, Numidian customs and their royal family, Sallust's sources, the conditions of political life in contemporary Rome, and Sallust's personal views are therefore given ample treatment. Textual, linguistic and literary problems are discussed in so far as they relate to historical and historiographical understanding of Sallust's account. Sallust was indebted to Greek and Roman predecessors, as the commentary indicates. But he also set a new fashion in Roman historiography, as much by his sense of the realities of Roman public life as by the manner of his writing - a style which was later adopted and developed by Tacitus, the great historian of imperial Rome.

"Revised version of a doctoral dissertation ... University of London."

This collection of essays brings together jus post bellum and transitional justice theorists to explore the legal and moral questions that arise at the end of war and in the transition to less oppressive regimes. Transitional justice and jus post bellum share in common many concepts that will be explored in this volume. In both transitional justice and jus post bellum, retribution is crucial. In some contexts criminal trials will need to be held, and in others truth commissions and other hybrid trials will be considered more appropriate means for securing some form of retribution. But there is a difference between how jus post bellum is conceptualized, where the key is securing peace, and transitional justice, where the key is often greater democratization. This collection of essays highlights both the overlap and the differences between these emerging bodies of scholarship and incipient law.

Each page of this volume contains 10-11 lines of Latin from Sallust's Bellum Catilinae, otherwise known as Coniuratio Catilinae, (Axel Ahlberg's 1919 Teubner edition) with all corresponding vocabulary and grammatical notes arranged below. Once readers have memorized the core vocabulary list, they will be able to read the Latin and consult all relevant vocabulary and commentary without turning a page.

Studies on the Text of Caesar's Bellum civile is a companion volume to Damon's revised Oxford Classical Texts edition of Caesar's Bellum civile, his account of his civil war with Pompey. Comprising three parts, this volume investigates the detailed philological arguments that underpin the revised edition of the text. The first part supplements the preface of the Oxford Classical Texts edition, providing an expanded background on the history of the text and a more detailed argument for the shape of the stemma. The second part is a discussion of nature and the causes of the difficulties present in the text of the Bellum civile and their consequences for the revised edition. The third part presents a series of around 75 notes on different areas of the text, exploring in depth the contentions behind the various remedies suggested in the critical apparatus of the Oxford Classical Texts edition.
