Summary:

The essays in this volume cover the whole of the period in which Rome dominated the Mediterranean world. The belief shared by all the contributors is that the Roman empire is best understood from the standpoint of the Mediterranean world looking in to Rome, rather than from Rome looking out. The volume reflects the immense complexity of the political and cultural history of the ancient Mediterranean, from the late Republic to the age of Augustine.

Notes:

"The essays collected in this volume have their origin in a conference on Rome and the Mediterranean world held in London and Oxford ... on 7 and 8 July 2000. The conference was timed to coincide with the sixty-fifth birthday of Fergus Millar ... and to celebrate his achievement over four decades of teaching and research ..."--Pref.
