Roman Imperial Themes [Hardcover]

The Roman empire, unlike the British, evoked no national resistance except from the Jews. This collection of essays by eminent historian P.A. Brunt critically examines various aspects of Roman history, from Roman aspirations to world dominion to Rome's success in winning the loyalty and acquiescence of its subjects. Two previously unpublished essays, as well as addenda and corrigenda, bring the collection completely up to date.

B. strikes with a sledge hammer....B. seizes upon a well defined problem and wrestles it to the gound....No historian of the Roman empire will want to be without. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
