Roman Imperialism: Readings and Sources (Interpreting Ancient History)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent contribution to Greco-Roman Studies
Review: Painstakingly compiled and expertly edited by Craige B. Champion (Assistant Professor of Ancient History in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University), Roman Imperialism: Readings And Sources collects ancient documents in translation alongside carefully selected scholarly essays, in order to give students and lay readers alike an in-depth tour of Roman history and the unique consequences and problems that beset Roman Imperialism. From complicated political, economic, and cultural interplays between Romans, their allies, and people forced under Roman rule, to military theory, and a framework of ideas concerning the expansion of empires in general, Roman Imperialism is an excellent contribution to the field of Greco-Roman Studies and especially recommended for any academic library's World History reference collection.
