This book demonstrates and analyzes patterns in the response of the
Imperial Roman state to local resistance, focusing on decisions
made within military and administrative organizations during the
Principate. Through a thorough investigation of the official Roman
approach towards local revolt, author Gil Gambash answers
significant questions that, until now, have produced conflicting
explanations in the literature: Was Rome's rule of its empire
mostly based on oppressive measures, or on the willing cooperation
of local populations? To what extent did Roman decisions and
actions indicate a dedication towards stability in the provinces?
And to what degree were Roman interests pursued at the risk of
provoking local resistance? Examining the motivations and judgment
of decision-makers within the military and administrative
organizations - from the emperor down to the provincial procurator
- this book reconstructs the premises for decisions and ensuing
actions that promoted negotiation and cooperation with local
populations. A ground-breaking work that, for the first time,
provides a centralized view of Roman responses to indigenous
revolt, Rome and Provincial Resistance is essential reading for
scholars of Roman imperial history.
