The Hellenistic city of Butrint, with its flourishing sanctuary of Asclepius, was transformed when it was made a Roman colony, first by Caesar then Augustus. Being able to deploy its heroic ancestry linked to Aeneas and Troy, the city articulated its special relationship with the imperial family in fine portrait dedications and drew inspiration from Augustus' own city of Nicopolis. Drawing on the latest archaeological research from Butrint, this richly illustrated book presents a new understanding of the making and development of the ancient Epirote city - from colonial provisions, to public benefactions, to spacious villas and townhouses - and discusses the impact of patronage bestowed on it by the emperor and elite families in Rome.

In the age of identity politics, the fear of selling out is rampant--but Zheng and Hansen say there's nothing wrong with it and show how to do it without betraying your deepest values and beliefs. What happens when you're a proud person of color, but you fall in love with a white person? What if you don't believe in working for megacorporations, but one offers you a six-figure salary, and you have a family to feed? Will you sell out, and is that wrong? The truth is we're all sellouts. Our life circumstances change in ways we can't predict. Offering practical assessment scenarios and hard-hitting questions, Zheng and Hansen propose new ways of authentically thinking about marginalization, privilege, and self-interest, including five key components of ethically selling out- * Lose the purity politics--you're a human being, not a model member of a group. * Embrace your changing identities, roles, and expectations --see change as growth, not betrayal. * Maintain a sense of meaning--hang on to your personal values as you navigate life's changes. * Seek a chosen family and community--isolation only reinforces negative reactions to selling out. * Constantly question your world--don't accept the status quo!
