The essays in Conceiving the Empire explore the mental images,
ideas, and symbolical representations of `empire' which developed
in the two most powerful political entities of antiquity: China and
Rome. While the central focus is on historiography, other related
fields are also explored: geography and cartography, epigraphy, art
and architecture, and, more generally, political thought and the
history of ideas. Written by a collaborative team of experts in
Sinology and Classical Studies, the volume focuses the attention of
the emerging discipline of East-West cross-cultural studies on an
essential feature of the ancient Mediterranean and Chinese worlds:
the emergence of `empire' and the enduring influence of the
`imperial' order.
