The essays in this volume address central problems in the
development of Roman imperialism in the third and second century
BC. Published in honour of the distinguished Oxford academic Peter
Derow, they follow some of his main interests: the author Polybius,
the characteristics of Roman power and imperial ambition, and the
mechanisms used by Rome in creating and sustaining an empire in the
east. Written by a distinguished group of international historians,
all of whom were taught by Derow, the volume constitutes a new and
distinctive contribution to the history of this centrally important
period, as well as a major advance in the study of Polybius as a
writer. In addition, the volume looks at the way Rome absorbed
religions from the east, and at Hellenistic artistic culture. It
also sheds new light on the important region of Illyria on the
Adriatic Coast, which played a key part in Rome's rise to power.
Archaeological, epigraphic, and textual evidence are brought
together to create a sustained argument for Rome's determined and
systematic pursuit of power.
