This is the first fully lemmatised concordance to be published of Petronius’ Satyricon. In this concordance citations for each lemma are separated into blocks for Classical prose, Vulgar Latin and poetry so that word usage can be examined separately for each of these registers. In addition, frequency counts of the number of occurrences in each register are presented along with the lemma so that contrasts in frequency and usage can be explored at the same time.

This etymology-in-context textbook focuses on modern words, their ancient roots, and the ancient concepts that lie behind these words that aid in the understanding of their meanings. It is designed to make classical antiquity available and attractive to a non-specialist audience. Chapters 1–3 provides a general background to the system and rules of word-building. This book examines the influence of Latin and ancient Greek on the modern English language and explains how a knowledge of this influence can aid in the understanding of English. The rest of this textbook examines selected groups of words and concepts that have their origin in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. Chapters 4–9 focus on the social, historical and political origins of these words and phrases and contextualises them in ancient Greek and Roman society.

This anthology provides a representative selection in Latin and English of the verse satires of Lucilius, Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. The general background of Roman satire and the social context of the verse satires are outlined briefly in the Introduction and in the commentary accompanying the individual satires. The notes, which are keyed to the English translation, include the identification of personalities and locations, the explanation of the context of the individual satires and of literary, historical, mythological and philosophical allusions, and discussion of the untranslatable overtones of certain words and phrases.

This book offers a detailed overview of the influence, theory and application of Roman rhetoric with a wealth of individual analyses of the role played by rhetoric in Roman culture. It utilises a wide variety of critical approaches and methodologies to present a contemporary critical, cultural and literary context for the study of Roman rhetoric. The book’s emphasis is upon rhetoric’s theory and practice within a broad variety of social, political and literary contexts. While this volume covers the major aspects of Roman rhetoric, fresh treatment is given to Roman authors and works that have emerged as key figures and texts in the past two generations of critical inquiry. Background material orients the reader and provides the contextual basis for the innovative, critical work that occurs in the rest of the work, which includes perspectives on rhetoric and society such as the link between rhetoric and social power, the relationship between rhetoric and gender, and alternative approaches to rhetoric.

This book argues that Roman literature is inherently political in the varied contexts of its production and the abiding concerns of its subject matter. This volume examines the strategies and techniques of political writing at Rome in a broad range of literature spanning almost two centuries, differing political systems, climates, and contexts. It applies a definition of politics that is more in keeping with modern critical approaches than has often been the case in studies of the political literature of classical antiquity. By applying a wide variety of critically informed viewpoints, this volume offers the reader not only a long view of the abiding techniques, strategies, and concerns of political expression at Rome but also many new perspectives on individual authors of the early empire and their republican precursors.
