It is now a well-recognized fact that during the Roman Empire, tens of millions of Germans crossed its border. Germanic mercenaries served loyally under Julius Caesar, first as auxiliaries, later as legionaries, while some reached important military ranks. Today it is accepted that without the contribution of the Germans, it would have been difficult for the Roman Empire to last as long as it did. But how did Rome repay the northern barbarians for their almost total availability? This scholarly and accessible volume attempts to provide an answer to this historical puzzle. This beautiful book opens with a highly useful geo-historical atlas and an important introductory essay by Jean-Jacques Aillagon. Divided chronologically in seven sections, the book presents wide-ranging dossiers illustrating and commenting on authentic archaeological treasures—ranging from monumental funerary sculpture to intimate pieces of jewelry—from prestigious museums throughout the world. Rome and the...

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (officially titled the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002), signed into law on 30 July 2002 by President Bush, is considered the most significant change to federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. It came in the wake of a series of corporate financial scandals, including those affecting Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom.

Andy Warhol was famous for being famous, but his body of work also reveals a unique understanding of America's star-making machinery. This stunningly illustrated book looks at the world Warhol inhabited as a young man-a post-war America on the brink of mass commercialism and mass production. A world of rebellion and reflection that perfectly meshed with Warhol's fascination with pop culture. From the brilliantly colored icons such as Campbell's Tomato Soup Can and Marilyn Monroe (twenty times), to the photographs from Warhol's life in and out of the limelight, this volume offers a balanced appreciation of one of the most infamous names of modern art.
