Sinossi

In 'The Reign of Tiberius, Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus,' Cornelius Tacitus intricately examines the complexities of political power during the reign of Tiberius, highlighting the interplay between morality and governance in ancient Rome. Tacitus employs a fragmented but eloquent narrative style, characterized by piercing insights and a rich vocabulary that evokes the turbulent atmosphere of his subject's era. This work serves as a crucial part of Tacitus's larger historical narrative, reflecting the moral decay and political stratagems that defined the Julio-Claudian dynasty, while also engaging with broader themes of tyranny and the struggle for personal integrity amidst corruption. Tacitus, a senator and historian of Rome, lived through the very political machinations he describes, providing him with unique insights into the dynamics of power and governance. His background as both a public official and an observer of Roman life imbues his writing with authenticity and depth. Tacitus's critical perspective, shaped by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his times, allows readers to appreciate the profound implications of Tiberius's rule. Recommended for historians, classicists, and general readers alike, this compelling examination of Tiberius offers a nuanced understanding of Imperial Rome's complexities. Readers will find themselves drawn into the intricate web of ambition, betrayal, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power, marking this work as an essential contribution to the study of Roman history.

Playful Materialities - The...

Gundolf S. Freyermuth, Benjamin...

Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.
