BAUMAN, R.A., Political Trials in Ancient Greece. Routledge, London / New York, 1990. XIII,222p. Original black silver titled cloth with dust wrps. Nice copy. 'R.A. Bauman has spent much of his career working on 'impietas' and 'maiestas' in rome, exploring the connection between religious and political offences, and in this book he tries to pursue a similar investigation for 'asebeia' and political trials in Greece (...). After a short introduction he devotes three chapters to Athens in the fifth century, two to Athens in the fourth century, one to Alexander the Great, and one to the first generation of the Successors. (...) B. 'deserves full marks for ingenuity', (...), but he is unlikely to persuade. There are sensible things in his discussions of particular issues, but there are also signs that he is not entirely at home with the Greek material.' (P.J. RHODES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1992, p.462). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 35.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780415009324
