    *Wage-Labour and Capital* by Karl Marx is a foundational text in Marxist economic theory that explores the exploitative dynamics of capitalist societies. Originally delivered as a series of lectures, the work delves into the relationship between wage laborers and capitalists, emphasizing how workers sell their labor power for wages that merely sustain their existence, while the capitalists appropriate the surplus value created by the workers. Marx unpacks the mechanisms of capital accumulation, the commodification of labor, and the inherent inequalities that sustain the capitalist system. Serving as a precursor to his seminal work *Das Kapital*, this concise and accessible text provides a critical framework for understanding the economic forces underpinning modern industrial society and the cyclical crises that arise from its contradictions.

    Agrippa I: Loyal Roman or Planning a Rebellion? — A Forensic and Political Investigation of Agrippa I: Loyal Roman, Rebel King, or Something in Between 
    This presents the complete script of the author's thesis defence, originally delivered at the conclusion of Master's degree in Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa. The thesis was awarded the distinction of cum laude and reflects an interdisciplinary exploration of historical, political, archaeological, and medical perspectives. 
    Based on the author's original 750-page dissertation, this defence examines the complex figure of Agrippa I—grandson of Herod the Great and client king of Judea under Roman rule. Was Agrippa a loyal Roman statesman, a potential rebel, or a cunning political survivor? 
    Using a critical approach to ancient literary sources, archaeological evidence, and modern historiography, the work explores:The material and political landscape of Agrippa's reignHis diplomatic positioning between Roman and Judean authoritiesThe recorded symptoms and political consequences of his sudden deathThe forensic plausibility of poisoning as a causeCompeting narratives of loyalty, betrayal, and legacy in the first century CE 
    Both accessible and intellectually grounded, the content is ideal for readers interested in Roman history, ancient politics, and the enduring questions of allegiance and power in antiquity.
