4.5.雖然錶麵上是麵嚮general reader的,但各種懷疑主義視角與inside joke一類的論述又分明是針對對古典學多少有瞭解的群體。。。

評分不是一部敘事性的羅馬史,而是整閤進瞭最新的考古成果,把古羅馬的政治經濟、社會生活的演變輪廓勾勒齣來,顯得時間綫索感不是那麼強,當然也是因為我對這段曆史太陌生的緣故。不過還是切實體會到古羅馬對今日西方世界的深遠影響。

A professor of classics at Cambridge University, Mary Beard is the author of the best-selling The Fires of Vesuvius and the National Book Critics Circle Award–nominated Confronting the Classics. A popular blogger and television personality, Beard gave the Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and is a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books. She lives in England.
A sweeping, revisionist history of the Roman Empire from one of our foremost classicists.
Ancient Rome was an imposing city even by modern standards, a sprawling imperial metropolis of more than a million inhabitants, a "mixture of luxury and filth, liberty and exploitation, civic pride and murderous civil war" that served as the seat of power for an empire that spanned from Spain to Syria. Yet how did all this emerge from what was once an insignificant village in central Italy? In S.P.Q.R., world-renowned classicist Mary Beard narrates the unprecedented rise of a civilization that even two thousand years later still shapes many of our most fundamental assumptions about power, citizenship, responsibility, political violence, empire, luxury, and beauty.
From the foundational myth of Romulus and Remus to 212 ce—nearly a thousand years later—when the emperor Caracalla gave Roman citizenship to every free inhabitant of the empire, S.P.Q.R. (the abbreviation of "The Senate and People of Rome") examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries by exploring how the Romans thought of themselves: how they challenged the idea of imperial rule, how they responded to terrorism and revolution, and how they invented a new idea of citizenship and nation.
Opening the book in 63 bce with the famous clash between the populist aristocrat Catiline and Cicero, the renowned politician and orator, Beard animates this “terrorist conspiracy,” which was aimed at the very heart of the Republic, demonstrating how this singular event would presage the struggle between democracy and autocracy that would come to define much of Rome’s subsequent history. Illustrating how a classical democracy yielded to a self-confident and self-critical empire, S.P.Q.R. reintroduces us, though in a wholly different way, to famous and familiar characters—Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Augustus, and Nero, among others—while expanding the historical aperture to include those overlooked in traditional histories: the women, the slaves and ex-slaves, conspirators, and those on the losing side of Rome’s glorious conquests.
Like the best detectives, Beard sifts fact from fiction, myth and propaganda from historical record, refusing either simple admiration or blanket condemnation. Far from being frozen in marble, Roman history, she shows, is constantly being revised and rewritten as our knowledge expands. Indeed, our perceptions of ancient Rome have changed dramatically over the last fifty years, and S.P.Q.R., with its nuanced attention to class inequality, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, promises to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.
不同于早先爱德华·吉本厚重沉郁的衰亡史或者盐野七生轻灵流畅的故事史,玛丽·比尔德给了我们另外一种看待罗马历史的角度。对《罗马元老院与人民》的感受很难用一言两语说清楚,所以只能择一些我觉得感兴趣的点来说: 关于罗马建国期间对萨宾女子的掠夺。印象比较深的是书中运...
評分当下出版市场上,由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物,一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是,这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人,从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书,到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目,都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认,中国学者多...
評分 評分 評分罗马,对西方意味着什么? 1453年,奥斯曼苏丹穆罕默德二世攻下拜占庭帝国(395—1453)的首都君士坦丁堡后,开始宣称自己是古罗马帝国的合法继承人,但觊觎这份荣光的远不止奥斯曼帝国(1299—1922),如果算上神圣罗马帝国(962—1802)、自诩“第三罗马”的俄罗斯帝国(1721...
