Taylor & Francis Ltd Vikings of the Steppe
Book SynopsisThis book explores the relationship between Vikings, Rus' and nomadic (mostly Turkic) steppe dwellers during the course of the Viking Age (c. 7501050) in a geographical area stretching from Eastern Scandinavia through the Kievan Rus', Byzantium, the Islamic world to the Western Eurasian steppes.The primary focus is the steppe influence on the development of Scandinavian-Rus' culture. It illustrates the effects of Turkic (nomadic) cultures on the evolving Scandinavian-Rus' communities in their military technology and tactics, as well as in everyday customs, ritual traditions and religious perceptions, whilst paying attention to the politico-commercial necessities and possible communication channels tying these two cultures, normally considered to be distinct, together. The arguments are supported by a multi-disciplinary analysis of diverse historical and archaeological materials occasionally supplemented with linguistic evidence. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of theTable of Contents1: Introduction; 2: The steppe and the Viking world; 3: Armed conflicts; 4: Trade; 5: Retinues; 6: Customs and religion(s); 7: Communication; Conclusions; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Politics in the Monuments of Pompey the Great and
Book SynopsisThis book explores the diachronic development of the ideological content of Pompey and Caesar's monuments in Rome, emphasising the importance of the late Republican period as a precursor to imperial propaganda through architecture. In the final years of the Roman Republic, individuals such as Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar exploited the communicative power of architecture. The former promoted the first and largest stone theatre in Rome; the latter started comprehensive town-planning projects that arguably verged on the utopian. Yet the study of the politics expressed by these monuments and how complex late Republican politics shaped the monuments themselves has attracted less attention than that of subsequent imperial architecture. Zampieri addresses this imbalance, exploring the ideological meaning of late Republican monuments and highlighting that monuments were fluid, adaptable entities, even in the lifespan of a single individual. Accompanied by detailed maps and imagTrade Review'A comprehensive, thought-provoking, and innovative account of the competition between Pompey and Caesar in the sphere of monumental building.' - Tom Stevenson, University of Queensland, AustraliaTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Food Provisions for Ancient Rome
Book SynopsisThis book defines the processes used for delivering a range of food items to the city of Rome and its hinterland from the first century AD using modern supply chain modelling techniques. The subject matter delves into the wider supply of goods, such as wood and building products, to add further perspective to the breadth of the system managed by the Roman administration to ensure supply and political stability. It assesses the impact of strategic changes such as the introduction of water-powered milling technology and restructuring of the annona in this period, as well as administrative reforms. Evidence from ancient sources, both literary and epigraphic, along with relevant archaeological comparative evidence is used to develop a detailed supply model, including the mapping of warehouse management systems; port and river traffic co-ordination; quality control mechanisms and administrative structures. Unlike other contemporary studies, this model takes into consideratiTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Supply Chain Management 3. The Model – Products, Area of Supply, Population, and Diet 4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Weapons in Late Shang c.12501050 BCE China
Book SynopsisWeapons in Late Shang (c.1250-1050 BCE) China: Beyond Typology and Ritual explores the large quantities of bronze and jade weapons, such as dagger-axes, spears and arrows, found at the World Heritage site of Yinxu, the late Shang capital located near today's Anyang city in central China.Qin Cao's innovative research presents new insights into these weapons, moving beyond perceptions of them being primarily symbols of power and rank. Through the lens of weapons, this book argues for the significance of martial prowess and leadership within late Shang society. The author considers Shang weapons from an object biographical perspective, tracing their life histories for the first time. This book synthesises archaeological data, scientific analyses, and inscriptions on oracle bones and bronzes, uncovering a more nuanced understanding of the complex roles weapons played in society. What traces of evidence can be detected on weapons that demonstrate their abiliTable of Contents1 An Object Biography Approach to Shang Weapons; 2 The Shang, the Anyang Site and Weaponry; 3 The Rebirth of Late Shang Weapons in the Context of Archaeological Practices; 4 Metalwork Wear Analysis of Shang Weapons; 5 Forming Shang Weapons; 6 Providing for the Deceased: Weaponry Assemblages in Tombs and their Previous "Lives"; 7 Weapons in Late Shang Society; Chinese Glossary; Appendix E: Distribution of Weapons in Elite Tombs’ Coffins; Appendix F: An Inventory of Fuhao tomb, Huayuanzhuang M54, Guojiazhuang M160 and Xibeigang M1004; Appendix G: Tombs with Weapons from 2004 Dasikong Area and 2003-2004 Xiaomintun Area; Appendix H: Chariots with Bronze and/or Bone Weapons.
