Ordering Knowledge in the Roman Empire (Hardcover)

The Romans commanded the largest and most complex empire the world
had ever seen, or would see until modern times. The challenges,
however, were not just political, economic and military: Rome was
also the hub of a vast information network, drawing in worldwide
expertise and refashioning it for its own purposes. This
groundbreaking collection of essays considers the dialogue between
technical literature and imperial society, drawing on, developing
and critiquing a range of modern cultural theories (including those
of Michel Foucault and Edward Said). How was knowledge shaped into
textual forms, and how did those forms encode relationships between
emperor and subjects, theory and practice, Roman and Greek, centre
and periphery? Ordering Knowledge in the Roman Empire will be
required reading for those concerned with the intellectual and
cultural history of the Roman Empire, and its lasting legacy in the
medieval world and beyond.
