Arrian, the Roman senator, is known as a philosopher and the historian of Alexander. He also enjoyed a sucessful political and military career, and the friendship of Hadrian. Arrian's text mixes the literary forms of a friendly letter and the traditional Greek periplus, or coastal guide. It describes a tour of duty around the Black Sea undertaken in an official capacity as governor of the frontier province of Cappadocia, and contains important evidence for this crucial corner of the eastern frontier of the Empire. It also affords us an insight into the cultural and political background of the early second century, from a man well placed not only to understand, but also to promote the new common imperial culture being forged by the hellenophile Emperor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition, with a full introduction, detailed commentary and facing-page translation, is the first in English for nearly 200 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aidan Liddle, Flavius Arrianus, Arrian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853996610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853996610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.52w x 0.41d","brand":"Aidan Liddle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130643902719,"sku":"9781853996610","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd78329a-53e7-4490-80f8-fe6c9c982ded.jpg?v=1687470511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arrian-arrian-9781853996610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
