Historiography at the End of the Republic

Provincial Perspectives on Roman Rule

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a study of six historians from different corners of the Roman empire at the end of the Republic. All these writers accept the new ruling power, but comment on how that power might best be used. They therefore provide a unique insight into the minds of the conquered peoples and the intellectual culture which allowed them to influence their conquerors.
