Imperial Institutions in Ancient Rome and Early China

A Comparative Analysis

Beschreibung

"Written by the eminent sinologist Michael Loewe, this book gives an overview of the considerations and practices of two major world empires that together ruled one-half of the earth's population in the first centuries BCE: ancient Rome and Han China. Approaching the historical material with a comparative perspective, Loewe examines the strengths and weaknesses, the successes and failures, which can be seen in the organisation and government of these two political systems"--
