DOWNLOAD EBOOKReclaiming the first century as common ground rather than the origin of deeply entrenched differences: liberating the past to speak to us in another way. Conventional readings of antiquity cast Athens against Jerusalem, with Athens standing in for “reason” and Jerusalem for “faith.” And yet, Susan Buck-Morss reminds us, recent scholarship has overturned this separation. Naming the first century as a zero point—“year one”—that divides time into before and after is equally arbirtrary, nothing more than a convenience that is empirically meaningless. In YEAR 1, Buck-Morss liberates the first century so it can speak to us in another way, reclaiming it as common ground rather than the origin of deeply entrenched differences. Buck-Morss aims to topple various conceptual givens that have shaped modernity as an episteme and led us into some unhelpful postmodern impasses. She approaches the first century through the writings of three thinkers often marginalized in current discourse: Flavius Josephus, historian of the Judaean War; the neo-Platonic philosopher Philo of Alexandria; and John of Patmos, author of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible. Also making appearances are Antigone and John Coltrane, Plato and Bulwer-Lytton, al-Farabi and Jean Anouilh, Nicholas of Cusa and Zora Neale Hurston—not to mention Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Kristeva, and Derrida. Buck-Morss shows that we need no longer partition history as if it were a homeless child in need of the protective wisdom of Solomon. Those inhabiting the first century belong together in time, and therefore not to us.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst Published in 2001. Coinage and History of the Roman Empire is an invaluable study in the fields of Roman history and numismatics. Current scholarship is invoked throughout as a corrective to other published sources: hundreds f significat updates in chronology, historical perspective and numismatic attribution make this book indispensable. The book consists of two volumes: volume one, History; volume two: Coinage. The 550-year period covered- The Imperatorial Age: c. 82-27 B.C; and The Roman Empire: 27 B.C to A.D 480- is divided into twelve epochs, each prefaced with an overview of the period's social and historical developments. Coinage and History of the Roman Empire is fully illustrated (including family trees, tables, maps) and includes an extensive bibliography as well alphabetical and chronological indexes.
