No. 1. Joyce Reynolds, Aphrodisias
and Rome
The texts from Aphrodisias in Caria at the core of this book provide
remarkable documentation for Roman history during the Mithridatic War, the Second
Triumvirate and the second-third centuries A.D. They include a Greek
translation of the longest senatus consultum so far known and a number
of imperial letters. They throw light on provincial attitudes to Rome, on
Roman policies in the provinces, on the relation of Octavian with Antony, and
on many fascinating details of Roman administrative practice.

No. 6. Charlotte Roueché (contributions by
J. M. Reynolds & N. de Chaisemartin), Performers and Partisans at
Aphrodisias in the Roman and late Roman periods
This volume presents all the inscriptions from Aphrodisias concerned
with public entertainments. Inscriptions from the Theatre and the Odeon throw
light on the organisation of stage performers in the Roman and late Roman
periods. Gladiators and wild-beast fighters are also well documented. The
inscriptions from the seats of the Theatre, the Odeon and the Stadium form
the largest body of such material so far published from any site. This
evidence is used to examine the nature of the factions of the Byzantine
Empire. Two agonistic sculptures of exceptional interest are published by N.
de Chaisemartin.

Potter and M. Waelkens. Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua (MAMA) X: Monuments
from Appia and the Upper Tembris Valley, Cotiaeum, Cadi, Synaus, Ancyra
Sidera and Tiberiopolis
MAMA X contains material from seven cities and their
territories. We find a characteristic range of verse and prose epitaphs,
dedications to local pagan gods, monuments of early Christianity, boundary
stones, and other texts which reveal many aspects of rural life in the
villages of Phrygia. Most of the monuments are published here for the first
time; some, like the well-known inscription from Aragua, are reproduced with
the help of photographs, drawings and notes that reveal details now lost.

Blagg, K. Butcher, J. Reynolds, P. Strange and T. Sturge), Nicopolis ad
Istrum: a Roman, Late Roman and Early Byzantine City: Excavations 1985-1992.
Vol. 1
The remarkable preservation of this Bulgarian site and the comprehensive
nature of the British research programme combine to provide a unique insight
into the physical, economic and palaeo- environmental history of a Roman city

the results of the excavations, geophysical surveys, coins, epigraphic finds
and an analysis of the Severan frescoes. It also summarises the results of
the large environmental programme, small- find, architectural material and
ceramic studies and assesses their implications for the city in its regional
context and its relations with other parts of the Roman Empire and the early
Byzantine world.

No. 10, David Langslow, The Latin Alexander
Trallianus: the Text and Transmission of a late Latin Medical Book
The present work offers an extensive introduction to the text and
transmission of the ancient Latin version of the medical works Therapeutica
and On Fevers of the great sixth-century Greek doctor Alexander of
Tralles. The importance of the Latin Alexander in medieval medicine in the
West is seen in the richness of both mainstream and secondary, excerpting
manuscript-traditions. The tradition is such that the reconstructed Latin
text promises to be a much more important witness to the Greek text than the
Greek is to the Latin, and of course a reliable edition is a prerequisite for
any systematic work on questions such as the provenance of the translation
and the Latinity of the translator(s). The volume comprises an introduction
to Alexander; an outline account of his works in Greek compared with the
Latin version; a description of the Latin manuscript copies, and a proposed
reconstruction of the genetic relations between them; some preliminary
remarks on the Latinity of the Latin Alexander; and a sample edition, with
translation, critical apparatus, and extensive notes, of the chapters on
coughing at the start of Book 2.
October 2006, c. 320 pp + 12 pls. Paperback. ISBN 0 907764 32 0; 978-0-907764-32-8.
