Richard Hingley here asks the questions: What is Romanization? Was Rome the first global culture? Romanization has been represented as a simple progression from barbarism to civilization. Roman forms ...in architecture, coinage, language and literature came to dominate the world from Britain to Syria. Hingley argues for a more complex and nuanced view in which Roman models provided the means for provincial elites to articulate their own concerns. Inhabitants of the Roman provinces were able to develop identities they never knew they had until Rome gave them the language to express them. Hingley draws together the threads of diverse and separate study, in one sophisticated theoretical framework that spans the whole Roman Empire. Students of Rome and those with an interest in classical cultural studies will find this an invaluable mine of information.
'A valuable addition to the scholarly literature.' - BMCR
'The explicit recognition of the complex relationship between past and present is one of the book's many strengths... a sophisticated and nuanced picture of 'Roman' identities... this book will do much to set the tone for a new generation of studies of the Roman World.' - Britannia

Traditionally, scholars have approached Roman sexuality using categories of sexual ethics drawn from contemporary, Western society. In this 2006 book Dr Langlands seeks to move away from these ...towards a deeper understanding of the issues that mattered to the Romans themselves, and the ways in which they negotiated them, by focusing on the untranslatable concept of pudicitia (broadly meaning 'sexual virtue'). She offers a series of nuanced close readings of texts from a wide spectrum of Latin literature, including history, oratory, love poetry and Valerius Maximus' work Memorable Deeds and Sayings. Pudicitia emerges as a controversial and unsettled topic, at the heart of Roman debates about the difference between men and women, the relation between mind and body, and the ethics of power and status differentiation within Roman culture. The book develops strategies for approaching the study of an ancient culture through sensitive critical readings of its literary productions.
Even though relations between the Jewish people and the Roman state were sometimes strained to the point of warfare and bloodshed, Jewish military service between the 1st century BCE to the 6th ...century CE is attested by multiple sources.
The quality of life for ordinary Roman citizens at the height of the Roman Empire probably was better than that of any other large group of people living before the Industrial Revolution.The Roman ...Market Economyuses the tools of modern economics to show how trade, markets, and the Pax Romana were critical to ancient Rome's prosperity.
Peter Temin, one of the world's foremost economic historians, argues that markets dominated the Roman economy. He traces how the Pax Romana encouraged trade around the Mediterranean, and how Roman law promoted commerce and banking. Temin shows that a reasonably vibrant market for wheat extended throughout the empire, and suggests that the Antonine Plague may have been responsible for turning the stable prices of the early empire into the persistent inflation of the late. He vividly describes how various markets operated in Roman times, from commodities and slaves to the buying and selling of land. Applying modern methods for evaluating economic growth to data culled from historical sources, Temin argues that Roman Italy in the second century was as prosperous as the Dutch Republic in its golden age of the seventeenth century.
The Roman Market Economyreveals how economics can help us understand how the Roman Empire could have ruled seventy million people and endured for centuries.
Assessing the value of marketing to a business remains a thorny issue in theory and practice. Decision-making at the finance–marketing interface is under-researched, particularly for project ...businesses. Confronted by demands of accountability concerning the allocation of resources to meet competitive pressures, the paper examines the quality and extent of dialogue in investment decision-making. The return on investment (ROI) and marketing-specific investment (ROMI) are important factors at the marketing–finance interface. ROMI/ROI is examined from quantitative and qualitative viewpoints. The empirical evidence shows that short-term financial criteria dominate and are misaligned to long-term performance of project businesses and business units. Marketing investment in relation to project markets poses a particularly challenging environment. Client lifetime value and programme data sets for ROMI coupled with qualitative decision-making offer ways forward with constructive dialogue at the finance–marketing interface. The paper concludes with detailed recommendations for research and practice.
•Paper proceeds with setting out an overview of the ROMI in the framework of project.•ROMI analysis uses the marketing mix and relationship marketing concepts in the project context.•Qualitative research permits understanding the marketing-finance interface in project situations.•Study permits to check the engagement at this interface (acceptance + management).
Uvod: Zdravstveno veleučilište je jedina visokoškolska ustanova u Hrvatskoj koja od 2015., poštujući pravilo pozitivne diskriminacije, svake akademske godine omogućava upis po jednog najbolje ...rangiranog pripadnika romske zajednice na svaki od studijskih smjerova iz područja zdravstvenih neliječničkih profesija, zahvaljujući čemu se broj pripadnika romske manjine sa završenom najvišom razinom edukacije znatno povećava na dobrobit same zajednice, ali i društva u cjelini.
Cilj i svrha rada: Svrha je rada približiti romsku problematiku prvenstveno drugim studentima pojedinih smjerova zdravstvenih profesija kako bi se dodatno povećalo razumijevanje važnosti uvedene prakse pozitivne diskriminacije i dodatno potaknulo većinsko stanovništvo na integraciju Roma u sve aspekte društva, uz uvažavanje i poticanje očuvanja posebnosti i bogatstva romske zajednice.
Metode rada: U radu se na temelju korištenja sekundarnim, javno dostupnim podacima, kao i rezultatima ranije provedenih istraživanja, postupcima analize i sinteze te indukcije i dedukcije daje pregled prisutnosti Roma u Europi i u Hrvatskoj te opisuju osnovna obilježja njihova porijekla, načina života, vjeroispovijesti, jezika i kulture kroz kritički osvrt na odnos između romskih skupina, kao i odnos većinskog stanovništva prema Romima te poziciju romske nacionalne manjine između asimilacije i potpune integracije u društvo.
Rezultat i diskusija: Romi su najveća etnička manjina koju čini najmanje 10 do 12 milijuna ljudi, od kojih više od šest milijuna živi na području EU-a, pretežno u zemljama geografski smještenima na teritorijima središnjih i istočnih država članica te dominantno na području Balkana. Prikaz povijesti migracije Roma prema europskom teritoriju poslužio je kao podloga za kritički osvrt na postojeće spoznaje o teritorijalnim, kulturološkim i dijalektološkim razlikama između različitih grupa Roma kako u svijetu tako i između grupa koje žive na području Hrvatske – sve od njihova dolaska do današnjih dana, s naglaskom na povijest i proces naseljavanja Rome Bajaše kao najbrojnije skupine Roma koji dominantno žive na području Međimurske županije.
Zaključak: Rromanipe ili romstvo pokazuje se kao integrirajući čimbenik identiteta i očuvanja opstojnosti Roma te najvažniji čimbenik kojim se Romi opiru asimilaciji i gubitku identiteta u odnosu na većinsko stanovništvo. Očuvanjem njihova identiteta, kulture i tradicije većinsko se stanovništvo obogaćuje kroz susret i dijalog s drugim, uz poštivanje različitosti i napredak i rast svih uključenih u taj susret.
Povijest romskoga stanovništva na hrvatskim područjima većinom je bila obilježena razdobljima u kojima su ga vlasti nastojale represivnim putem asimilirati u većinsko
stanovništvo. Za vrijeme Drugoga ...svjetskog rata nacističke su vlasti i njihovi
saveznici proveli genocid nad njima. Upravo je to ratno razdoblje smatrano
središnjom točkom u povijesti romskoga stanovništva. U radu se analizira na
koji se način pisalo o stradanju Roma u odabranim leksikografskim djelima
izdanima od 1945. do danas. Kako bi se bolje razumjeli rezultati ove analize, istraživanjem su obuhvaćene leksikografske publikacije određenih europskih zemalja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako je tema stradanja Roma u hrvatskim
leksikografskim izdanjima nedovoljno zastupljena, što je bio slučaj i u drugim
europskim leksikografijama. Ovakav odnos hrvatske leksikografije prema
povijesti jedne od najstarijih i danas jedne od brojnijih manjinske skupine u
Republici Hrvatskoj odraz je marginalizacije kulture sjećanja na romske žrtve
unutar hrvatskoga društva, posebice u znanosti i kulturi.
Similarly to other European countries, the history of the Roma population in Croatian areas was marked mostly by most periods of persecution and suffering, when the
authorities tried to use repression in order to assimilate the Roma into the
majority population. One such period was during World War II, when genocide
against the Roma was carried out in many European countries by the Nazi
authorities and their allies. After the War, the culture of remembering Roma
victims became marginalised in Croatia. This paper examines how Croatian
lexicography approached the issue of the significance of Roma suffering during
World War II in selected lexicographical works from 1945 till today, and
compares it to lexicographical publications from certain other European
countries. Research shows that Croatian lexicography neglected the importance
of Roma genocidal suffering as a central point in the history of the Roma
population. Such a similar marginal attitude towards Roma suffering in World
War II was present in other European lexicographies, which is only one of the
arguments in favour of the thesis that post-war society in Europe, including
Croatian society, neglected the importance of researching Roma suffering in war
and thus marginalised the culture of remembrance of Roma victims of genocide,
especially in science and culture.
U radu je analiziran položaj romskog stanovništva na slavonskom području za vrijeme Drugoga svjetskog rata. Istraživanje je bilo usmjereno na analizu politike državnih i lokalnih vlasti prema Romima, ...koja je uključivala mjere poput njihovog popisivanja, zabrane kretanja i u konačnici njihove sustavne deportacije u jasenovački logor, gdje je znatan dio njih ubijen. Drugi dio odnosi se na analizu odnosa neromskog stanovništva na slavonskom području prema progonu i stradanju njihovih romskih sumještana, unutar kojeg su opisani slučajevi u kojima je dio Slavonaca izravno nastojao spasiti Rome molbama i drugim intervencijama kod ustaških lokalnih i državnih vlasti.
