Former owner's name on ffep. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 0.98 x 8.5 x 5.43 Inches; 400 pages; The economics of imperialism, its political background and institutional frameworks, the material benefits it conferred, the ideologies of ruler and ruled - these are some of the more important aspects of imperialism discussed in this volume. In presenting the evidence for ancient imperialims and suggesting concepts and methods of interpretation these articles, which are the work of the Cambridge University Research Seminar in Ancient History, range from New Kingdom Egypt and Carthage, through the classical Greek world of Athens and Sparta, to Macedonia and Rome. This book will be particularly useful to ancient historians but should also interest historian of other periods as well as students of politics. Contents: Imperialism and Empire in New Kingdom Egypt; Carthaginian imperialism in the fifth and fourth centuries; Spartan imperialism; the Fifth-century Athenian empire: a balance sheet; Athens in the fourth century; Antigonids and the Greek States, 276-196 BC; Laus Imperii; Greeks and Romans; The Beneficial Ideology; Rome's African empire under the Principate; Jewish attitudes to the Roman Empire.

Very Good+. 2002. Hardcover. 9004128166 . Small bump to foreedge of front cover. Faint bump to base of spine. ; Mnemosyne , Vol Suppl. 233; 378 pages; What was funny about ancient jokes, and why? Why did the Roman state legislate to curb the behaviour of its obscenely rich and powerful elite, if it never really expected such laws to be obeyed? Why did it oppress the poor, and lavish public child support on them? These are important questions, but ancient Greeks and Romans could never have thought of them. They never questioned the right of the rich to be rich. They could not improve their understanding of Homeric gift-giving with the experience of ritualized friendship among the Trobriand islanders. Such questions and such answers can only come from those who live after the ancient past. This volume honours the well-known Dutch epigraphist and ancient historian H. W. Pleket. Ten substantial essays reflect his wide range, from early Greece to the Roman Empire, and his taste for comparative economic and social history. ., Brill Academic Publishers, 2002, 3<
