A major new history of Athens' remarkably long and influential life
after the collapse of its empire. To many the history of
post-Classical Athens is one of decline. True, Athens hardly
commanded the number of allies it had when hegemon of its
fifth-century Delian League or even its fourth-century Naval
Confederacy, and its navy was but a shadow of its former self. But
Athens recovered from its perilous position in the closing quarter
of the fourth century and became once again a player in Greek
affairs, even during the Roman occupation. Athenian democracy
survived and evolved, even through its dealings with Hellenistic
Kings, its military clashes with Macedonia, and its alliance with
Rome. Famous Romans, including Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, saw
Athens as much more than an isolated center for philosophy. Athens
After Empire offers a new narrative history of post-Classical
Athens, extending the period down to the aftermath of Hadrian's
reign.
