Il demos in Erodiano
2018
In Herodian’s historical view the demos appears to play an important political role in critical stages of the Roman empire. The political success of an emperor depends on the popular approval in Rome or in the provincial cities, besides the support of the soldiers. The analysis of the words demos and ochlos, used by Herodian with different values, reveals that the historian cannot be defined filo-popular, but shows throughout interest in the popular participation in civil struggles.
Ebraismo, identità e memoria. Quattro scene dalle vita di Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce il percorso di riappropriazione dell'identità ebraica di Arnold Schoenberg, facendo riferimento - in modo particolare - agli eventi che hanno determinato la conversione all'ebraismo, agli scritti politici del 1933-38, all'epistolario con Thomas Mann durante l'esilio negli Stati Uniti e alla genesi e concezione poetica e musicale di A survivor from Warsaw op. 46 (1947).

Über die Abfassungszeit und die Interpretation des "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc. 817)
2021
Si cerca di dimostrare che il "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc 817) e´ stato composto in eta´ neroniana (se non addirittura vespasianea) e non augustea, come generalmente si crede. Si cerca anche di mostrare che esso non e´ di tendenza antiaugustea. Vengono proposte alcune congetture al testo. We try to show that the "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc 817) was composed in the Neronian (if not the Vespasian) age and not in the Augustan age, as is generally believed. It also tries to show that it is not of an anti-Augustan trend. Some conjectures are proposed to the text.
Diplomazia e diritto durante la seconda guerra punica: su ius e mos nei discorsi di Livio
2019
Nei discorsi riportati da Tito Livio riguardanti gli scambi diplomatici succedutisi nel corso della seconda guerra punica, il concetto di ius che regola le relazioni fra forze in gioco è ampiamente utilizzato come motivo argomentativo; l’obiettivo dello storico è quello di difendere i comandanti romani, nei casi in cui ne era messa in dubbio la correttezza da un’opinione pubblica avversa, e strumentalmente manipolata a livello interno dagli avversari politici. In particolare l'analisi è rivolta all’impiego di un lessico che rinvia alla sfera del ius e del mos, nelle sue diverse declinazioni, quale strumento di riflessione sull'imperialismo romano.

Rosyjskie siły lądowe i flota bałtycka w 1715 i 1719 roku w świetle raportów brytyjskich
2020
Wielka wojna północna oznaczała zmierzch starych potęg takich, jak Szwecja czy Rzeczypospolita i narodziny nowej - Rosji cara Piotra I. Przeprowadził on w państwie głębokie reformy oraz zmodernizował i unowocześnił siły zbrojne, tworząc bałtycką flotę wojenną. Zmiany te nie uszły uwadze ambasadorów obcych państw, w tym oczywiście Wielkiej Brytanii, którzy raportowali o nich do centrali. Sporządzali także zestawienia sił zbrojnych Rosji, w tym marynarki oraz umieszczali przy takiej okazji trafne spostrzeżenia dotyczące żołdu czy werbunku marynarzy. Kilka z nich będzie przedmiotem analizy, a dane które można z nich odczytać będą mogły świadczyć o rozwoju carskich sił zbrojnych.

Two-pronged strategy
2004
Publikacijoje analizuojamas Latvijos požiūris į lietuvių ir lenkų santykius 1920 m. įvykių metu. 1920 m. rugsėjį latvių politikai turėjo ketinimų pagerinti Baltijos regiono šalių santykius su Sovietų Rusija, tačiau generolo L.

Buvo spėjama, kad L Želigovskis palaiko ryšius su Varšuva. Latviai labai norėjo išvengti bet kokio konflikto su lenkais ir įvairiomis priemonėmis bei būdais to siekė.
