This book evaluates a hundred years of scholarship on how empire
transformed the Roman world, and advances a new theory of how the
empire worked and was experienced. It engages extensively with
Rome's Republican empire as well as the 'Empire of the Caesars',
examines a broad range of ancient evidence (material, documentary,
and literary) that illuminates multiple perspectives, and
emphasizes the much longer history of imperial rule within which
the Roman Empire emerged. Steering a course between overemphasis on
resistance and overemphasis on consensus, it highlights the
political, social, religious and cultural consequences of an
imperial system within which functions of state were substantially
delegated to, or more often simply assumed by, local agencies and
institutions. The book is accessible and of value to a wide range
of undergraduate and graduate students as well as of interest to
all scholars concerned with the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
