Archimedes and the Roman Imagination

Year: 2010

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Jaeger's recent book, Archimedes and the Roman Imagination, is not so much about Archimedes himself as about the Roman Archimedeses as they emerge from the works of Polybius, Cicero, Vitruvius, Plutarch, and others.Jaeger explores the most famous stories about Archimedes, like the ones about his 'Eureka!' and the planetarium, puts them in their context, and draws new conclusions.
