Based on archaeological survey material as well as textual
evidence, Cynthia Kosso studies the effects of Late Roman
imperialism and colonialism in Achaia, Greece. She argues that
socio-economic measures imposed on Achaia in Late Antiquity by the
government at Constantinople were designed to encourage and
protect' the small landholder and ensure a stable and dependable
revenue. From studying evidence relating to the application of
these policies, such as an increase in the number of rural
settlements, greater investment in agriculture and an increase in
legislation relating to land and taxes, Kosso shows how imperial
policies were geared towards manking more efficient use of the land
in the long term.
