Egyptology in the Present: Experiential and Experimental Methods in Archaeology
edited by Carolyn Graves-Brown

ISBN-9781910589021, 2015, pp xxxviii + 207,

This volume gives, for the first time a critical and careful definition of the experiential in relation to the experimental. The two are seen as points on a continuum with much common ground. This claim is borne out by succeeding chapters, which cover such topics as textiles, woodworking and stoneworking. :-)

Edited by Paul Cartledge and Anton Powell

ISBN: 9781910589632, hardback, 280pp, 2018,

Even Greeks – in later times – saw Athens as ‘the Hellas of Hellas’, the moral standard-bearer of Greek civilisation. But in the classical period many Athenians thought otherwise: Athens might be a school of Hellas, but the school of Hellas was Sparta. This book explores Athenians’ thinking about Sparta’s military and moral ascendancy. [More Details]

Research into the mechanisms and the morality of Athenian hegemony is now perhaps livelier than ever.

edited by Brian McGing and Judith Mossman

ISBN-13: 978-1-905125-12-8 ISBN-10: 1-905125-12-7, hardback, 450pp, 2007,

The genre of biography in the ancient world is interestingly diverse and permeable and deserves intensive study, bearing as it does on ideas of characterization and the individual. This volume considers both the form and the content of biography across the ancient world, and is particularly interested in the frontiers with other related genres, such as history.
The papers range from the Old Testament to the Arab world, from the New Testament to the Lives of Saints, from the classic Greek and Roman biographers to less well known practitioners of the art. [More details]

ISBN-13: 978-1-905125-25-8 ISBN-10: 1-905125-25-9, hardback, 230pp, 2008,

Augustus' Memoirs, written probably in the mid 20s BC, might have been one of the most revealing texts of Roman history - had they survived. Far longer than his surviving Res Gestae, the Memoirs seem to date from a period at which the wounds of Rome's civil wars were fresh, and the emperor's partisan past might be recalled with discomfort.

Magnus Pius:
Sextus Pompeius and the Transformation of the Roman Republic [Hardback]
By Kathryn Welch

ISBN 13: 9781905125449, hardback, 350pp. 2012, xtus Pompeius Magnus Pius, son of Pompey the Great, fits uneasily - or not at all - into the grand narrative of the civil war of 49-31BC. Modern scholars tend to exclude him or mention him without asking what or whom he represented. Welch argues that, far from being a 'side-show' or a 'bit player', Sextus Pompeius was integral to the fight for the res publica. She solves the 'problem' by placing him at the centre of the story of Rome's transition from Republic to Empire and so reveals a very different landscape that emerges as a result. [More details]

Misery and Forgiveness in Euripides: Meaning and Structure in the 'Hippolytus'
by Boris Nikolsky Translated by: Mikhail Nikolsky

ISBN: 9781910589038 hardback, 2015,

The tragedies of Euripides are among the most admired works of Greek literature. They are valued especially in our own day for their sceptical attitude to authority and divinity, for their psychological complexity and for their sympathetic but unsentimental portrayal of assertive women. In this striking new monograph, Boris Nikolsky reinterprets a Euripidean tragedy which combines these qualities to the highest degree, the Hippolytus. [More details]
