REPRESENTATIONS OF WAR IN ANCIENT ROME

ERRATA

Dust Jacket (back flap) 

K. Welch, The Roman Amphitheater: From its Origins to the Coliseum; should read Colosseum

Introduction

p. 7, 3rd paragraph, line 4 should read: ῥώμη, which means “force” (not “to force”). (This and some other of the following errors were introduced by Cambridge University Press after the final proof stage.)

p. 10, line 10: “M. Fulvius Flaccus” (not “Furius Camillus”).

p. 18, 1st paragraph, line 8: should read "On a coin issue of about 31-29, minted shortly after Actium, Octavian uses the old republican symbolic representation of the goddess Victory crowning a trophy, yet changes the formula so that he himself proffers the goddess' statue (victoriola). The obverse of such republican coins had always depicted Jupiter; on the new coin type, however, Octavian's portrait appears instead, and alongside it Jupiter's thunderbolt.”
