Syme, Ronald; Anthony Birley (Ed. ) ANATOLICA Studies in Strabo
Oxford University Press 1995 0198149433 / 9780198149439 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket
Light discoloration to DJ spine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Light bump to top corner of book else Fine. Former classics scholar's name on ffep (Peter Fraser). ; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme (1903-89). His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books, The Roman Revolution, which appeared in 1939, and Tacitus (two volumes, 1958) - although he went on to produce many more monographs, and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war, which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara, and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war, Syme had continued to write in these years, in particular 'Strabonia', investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo, a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death, the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work, but what he had written, with almost complete annotation, represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo, at the same time providing rich detail on client kings, Roman generals and emperors, writers and travellers. Above all, he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia. ; 424 pages

Syme, Ronald HISTORY IN OVID
Oxford University Press 1997 0198148259 / 9780198148258 Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Very light shelfwear; This brief and compressed study comprises twelve self-contained chapters and begins by proposing a revised chronology for several works of Ovid. The central theme is Roman social history in the time of Caesar Augustus, revealing Ovid in his milieu and in the ambit of his friendships. Attention is concentrated on the poems from exile, especially the four books of Epistulae ex Ponto, which reveal much more than previously suspected about the last decade of the reign of Augustus. Finally, writing on Ovid's exile, Syme argues that it was not the result of a misdemeanour by the poet, but the blunder of an angry despot-- the error of Caesar Augustus. ; 240 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1978 Edition.

Syme, Ronald SALLUST
University of California Press 1964 Hardcover Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. Pocket has been partially removed leaving residue. Textblock and inner cover have had former institution stamps deleted in black marker. Tape stains to inner covers. Light discoloration to DJ spine. Text is clean of marks. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 381 pages; With this classic book, Sir Ronald Syme became the first historian of the twentieth century to place Sallust--whom Tacitus called the most brilliant Roman historian--in his social, political, and literary context. Scholars had considered Sallust to be a mere political hack or pamphleteer, but Syme's text makes important connections between the politics of the Republic and the literary achievement of the author to show Sallust as a historian unbiased by partisanship.
