War and Imperialism in Republican Rome, 327-70 B.C.Clarendon Press, 1979 - 293 σελίδες Between 327 and 70 B.C. the Romans expanded their empire throughout the Mediterranean world. This highly original study looks at Roman attitudes and behavior that lay behind their quest for power. How did Romans respond to warfare, year after year? How important were the material gains ofmilitary success--land, slaves, and other riches--commonly supposed to have been merely an incidental result? What value is there in the claim of the contemporary historian Polybius that the Romans were driven by a greater and greater ambition to expand their empire? The author answers thesequestions within an analytic framework, and comes to an interpretation of Roman imperialism that differs sharply from the conventional ones. |
