About This Item
Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1970. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback Second Printing, 1972. Translated by S. O'Donnell. Hardcover Book in Near Fine Condition. Without dust jacket. Turquoise blue cloth with silver titles to spine is very clean and unmarked, with a whisper of wear to edges; a few pages near the end of the book have minor text markings; former owner gold ownership stamp on half-title page. The author's object is to trace the course of an idea through the history of Roman thought--the idea of the City, considered not as a political or legal institution, but rather as a design for a society in which people could live together, and he explores the inherent contradictions between these two views. 288 pages with bibliography and index. 8.5 x 5.75 inches. 1970, Indiana University Press, Bloomington and London
