Studies in Classical History and Society

Professor Reinhold's Collection of Essays on Ancient History

Professor Reinhold, a distinguished senior classicist, has produced a fascinating and accessible collection of essays devoted to the study of ancient history.

Among the articles included are "The Generation Gap," a major survey exploring myths of the uprising of one generation against another; "Augustus's Conception of Himself," a detailed summary and interpretation of Augustus's life and career; and "The Declaration of War against Cleopatra," an investigation of the charge against Cleopatra that she betrayed her pledge to Rome as a client ruler.

Taken together, these essays form a unified and coherent survey of ancient history that will appeal to a broad audience.
