Divination, Prediction and the End of the Roman Republic
This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the intersection between Roman politics, culture and divination in the late Republic. It discusses how the practice of divination changed at a time of great political and social change and explores the evidence for a critical reflection and debate on the limits of divination and prediction in the second and first centuries BC. Divination was a central feature in the workings of the Roman government and this book explores the ways in which it changed under the pressure of factors of socio-political complexity and disruption. It discusses the ways in which the problem of the prediction of the future is constructed in the literature of the period. Finally, it explores the impact that the emergence of the Augustan regime had on the place of divination in Rome and the role that divinatory themes had in shaping the ideology of the new regime.

Pietas y guerra civil
Las guerras civiles del período tardorrepublicano son un período de profunda agitación política, en el que la cohesión y la viabilidad de la comunidad cívica son severamente cuestionadas. Esto posee significativas ramificaciones religiosas, dado que la relación entre la comunidad y los dioses es desafíada y en ocasiones socavada. No obstante, las afirmaciones relativas a la piedad –el escrúpulo y la observancia religiosa, así como una conexión duradera con los dioses– juegan un papel central en los discursos contemporáneos sobre la guerra civil y sin duda en el funcionamiento de los conflictos militares mismos. Este trabajo traza estas afirmaciones buscando recuperar la centralidad de las preocupaciones religiosas de los sectores en guerra y explorar sus implicaciones políticas e intelectuales.

Approaching the Roman revolution : papers on Republican history
This volume collects twenty-six previously unpublished studies on Republican history by the late Sir Ronald Syme (1903-1989), drawn from the archive of Syme's papers at the Bodleian Library. This set of papers sheds light on aspects of Republican history that were either overlooked or tangentially discussed in Syme's published work. They range across a wide spectrum of topics, including the political history of the second century BC, the age of Sulla, the conspiracy of Catiline, problems of constitutional law, and the Roman conquest of Umbria. Each of them makes a distinctive contribution to specific historical problems. Taken as a whole, they enable us to reach a more comprehensive assessment of Syme's intellectual and historiographical profile. The papers are preceded by an introduction that places them within the context of Syme's work and of the current historiography on the Roman Republic, and are followed by a full set of bibliographical addenda.

An Avenger in Pliny (NH 2.241 and 35.14)
A reconsideration of the two mentions of L. Marcius in Pliny the Elder’s Natural History leads to the conclusion that Valerius Antias’ account of the Roman counter-offensive in Spain of 211 placed the emphasis on Marcius’ revenge of the recent killings of P. and Cn. Cornelius Scipio.
