Fergus Millar is one of the most influential contemporary
historians of the ancient world. His essays and books, including
"The Emperor in the Roman World and "The Roman Near East, have
enriched our understanding of the Greco-Roman world in fundamental
ways. In his writings Millar has made the inhabitants of the Roman
Empire central to our conception of how the empire functioned. He
also has shown how and why Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam evolved from within the wider cultural context of the
Greco-Roman world.
Opening this collection of sixteen essays is a new contribution
by Millar in which he defends the continuing significance of the
study of Classics and argues for expanding the definition of what
constitutes that field. In this volume he also questions the
dominant scholarly interpretation of politics in the Roman
Republic, arguing that the Roman people, not the Senate, were the
sovereign power in Republican Rome. In so doing he sheds new light
on the establishment of a new regime by the first Roman emperor,
Caesar Augustus.
