This study of six historians from the edges of the Roman world at
the end of the Republic--the author of I Maccabees, Posidonius,
Diodorus Siculus, Pompeius Trogus, Nicolaus of Damascus, and Memnon
of Heraclea--combines discussion of their biographical details, the
intellectual and elite< br> culture in which they composed,
and the methodological difficulties of interpreting fragmentary
texts, with textual analysis of their representations of Rome.
These authors show remarkable unity in their acceptance of Roman
hegemony. Nevertheless, their interpretations of Roman rule assume
political< br> significance in the light of their intentions
in writing and the audiences whom they addressed. They therefore
provide a unique insight into the minds of the conquered peoples
and the intellectual culture which allowed them to influence their
conquerors.
