Synopsis

Explore Rome’s far reach and the people who shaped its fate

This volume traces how Roman power extended into the east, from Cilicia to Armenia, and how distant provinces affected Rome’s rulers and policies. It blends political drama with the rise of influential leaders, showing how expansion changed everyday life in Asia, Egypt, and beyond.

• Discover the shifting balance of power after Sulla and the early struggles of the military monarchy
• See how conquest, administration, and revenue reshaped Roman rule in the provinces
• Learn how key figures, including Mithradates and local dynasts, influenced the broader Roman world
• Understand the cultural exchange that accompanied conquest, from art and literature to governance

Ideal for readers of classical history who want a detailed, modern‑scholarly look at Rome’s eastern frontiers and their impact on the Roman state. This edition fits those seeking a coherent narrative of political change, imperial administration, and the interplay of war and culture in the late Republic.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

State of kept the Roman government by perpetually renewing the alarm of fire and the cry to quench it, made them lose sight of provincial matters generally; and that most of all in the case of the Asiatic lands, whose remote and unwarlike nations did not thrust themselves so directly on the attention of the government as A frica, Spain, and its Transalpine neighbours. After the annexation of the kingdom of A ttalus, which took place contemporaneously with the outbreak of ihe revolution, for a whole generation there is hardly any evidence of Rome taking a serious part in Oriental affairs with the exception of the establishment of the province of Cilicia in 652 (iii. 382), to which the 102. Romans were driven by the boundless audacity of the Cilician pirates, and which was in reality nothing more than the institution of a permanent station for a small division of the Roman army and fleet in the eastern waters. It was not till the downfall of Marius in 654 had in some 100. measure consolidated the government of the restoration, that the Roman authorities began anew to bestow some attention on the events in the east. In many respects matters still stood as they had doneE gypt, thirty years ago.
