Roman Centurions 31 BC-AD 500
by Giuseppe Rava Raffaele D'AmatoIn the years between 31 BC and AD 500 the Romans carved out a mighty empire stretching from Britain to the deserts of North Africa. The men who spearheaded this expansion were the centurions, the tough, professional warriors who led from the front, exerted savage discipline and provided a role model for the legionaries under their command.This book, the second volume of a two-part study, reveals the appearance, weaponry, role and impact of these legendary soldiers during the five centuries that saw the Roman Empire reach its greatest geographical extent under Trajan and Hadrian, only to experience a long decline in the West in the face of sustained pressure from its 'barbarian' neighbours. Featuring spectacular full-colour artwork, written by an authority on the army of the Caesars and informed by a wide range of sculptural, written and pictorial evidence from right across the Roman world, this book overturns established wisdom and sheds new light on Rome's most famous soldiers during the best-known era in its history.

Including new research, photographs of artefacts and the signature Men-at-Arms artwork, this is an essential addition to the series and includes several artwork reconstructions of actual named individuals and two lavish scenes depicting combat between Centurions and a Triumphal procession.
Roman Empire at War: A Compendium of Battles from 31 B.C. to A.D. 565
by Don TaylorThis &“valuable&” summary of every significant battle from Augustus to Justinian I is &“an indispensable reference guide for any student of the Roman military&” (The NYMAS Review). In a single volume, Roman Empire at War catalogues and offers a brief description of every significant battle fought by the Roman Empire from Augustus to Justinian I (and most of the minor ones too). In lists arranged both alphabetically and chronologically, the information in each entry is drawn exclusively from Ancient, Late Antique, and Early Medieval texts, in order to offer a brief description of each battle based solely on the information provided by the earliest surviving sources that chronicle the event. This approach provides a concise foundation of information to which you can then confidently apply later scholarly interpretation presented in secondary sources in order to achieve a more accurate understanding of the most likely battlefield scenario. In writing the battle descriptions, the author has not sought to extensively analyze the evidence contained in the surviving accounts, nor embellish them beyond what was necessary to provide clarity to the modern reader. He allows the original writers to speak for themselves, presenting a succinct version of what the ancient chroniclers tell us of these dramatic events. It is an excellent first-stop reference to the many battles of the Roman Empire.

Romanisch-kanonisches Prozessrecht
by Knut Wolfgang NörrDie Prozessordnungen des europäischen Kontinents wurzeln sämtlich im Prozessrecht des Mittelalters, wie es seit dem 12. Jahrhundert an den Universitäten gelehrt und den Gerichten praktiziert worden ist. Das Buch widmet sich dem Prozessrecht in civilibus, nach heutigen Begriffen dem Zivil- und Verwaltungsverfahren. Der romanisch-kanonische Prozess war seinerseits aus hauptsächlich drei Quellengruppen hervorgegangen: dem römisch-justinianischen Recht aus dem 6. Jahrhundert, den Konzils- und päpstlichen Texten seit der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts sowie dem Statutarrecht und Gerichtsbrauch der italienischen Kommunen desselben Zeitraums. Besonderes Gewicht wird auf die Grundfragen gelegt, die jedes Prozessrecht zu beantworten hat und in denen die jeweiligen Vorstellungen von der rechten Ordnung des Verfahrens deutlich werden; zwei hiervon seien genannt: Wie sind die Kompetenzen zwischen den Parteien einer- und dem Richter andererseits verteilt, bezogen auf die Beibringung des Streitstoffs und auf den Fortgang des Verfahrens? Wie handhabte man das Grunddilemma zwischen Gründlichkeit und Zügigkeit des Verfahrens?
Romantic Science and the Experience of Self: Transatlantic Crosscurrents from William James to Oliver Sacks (Routledge Library Editions: Romanticism #Vol. 2)
by Martin HalliwellFirst published in 1999, this engaging interdisciplinary study of romantic science focuses on the work of five influential figures in twentieth-century transatlantic intellectual history. In this book, Martin Halliwell constructs an innovative tradition of romantic science by indicating points of theoretical and historical intersection in the thought of William James (American philosopher); Otto Rank (Austrian psychoanalyst); Ludwig Binswanger (Swiss psychiatrist); Erik Erikson (Danish/German psychologist); and Oliver Sacks (British neurologist). Beginning with the ferment of intellectual activity in late eighteenth-century German Romanticism, Halliwell argues that only with William James’ theory of pragmatism early in the twentieth century did romantic science become a viable counter-tradition to strictly empirical science. Stimulated by debates over rival models of consciousness and renewed interest in theories of the self, Halliwell reveals that in their challenge to Freud’s adoption of ideas from nineteenth-century natural science, these thinkers have enlarged the possibilities of romantic science for bridging the perceived gulf between the arts and sciences.

Roots of Stone: The Story of those who Came Before
by Hugh G. AllisonRoots of Stone is a passionate tapestry, weaving the story of Scotland with the lives of ordinary and extraordinary people. This fascinating sweep over two thousand years of Scotland's past blends with a true family story stretching back over these same two millennia in a spellbinding fusion of history and memoir. This is an exploration of the Scottish identity through actual tales of the author's forebears - tales drawn from royal bloodline and from crofting hearth, tales of high drama and of quiet everyday satisfactions. Mackays and MacDonalds tread most heavily across these pages, but they are far from alone. Munros, MacDougalls, Murrays and dozens of other clans and families also feature.Kenneth MacAlpin, Macbeth, Robert the Bruce and Alexander 'Wolf of Badenoch' all have a place in the tapestry. The dreadful deeds of the Wicked Earls of Orkney are laid bare, but counterbalanced by the work of those famous healers, the Beatons. Stepping closer to the present day, the human tragedy of the Clearances becomes all-consuming.Poets, pipers and poachers play their part, as do dukes and drovers, their tales unfolding within evocatively described landscapes and ancient places of power. The castles and mountains are hauntingly illustrated and the tale is enhanced by the inclusion of two rare piping compositions and some words by the great Gaelic bard Rob Donn.More than anything else, Roots of Stone is the story of all the ones who came before, those who can still be felt in the blood at times when deep emotion is stirred.
