The reasons for Roman annexation have too often been explained in
simplistic monocausal terms, such as a desire for glory or wealth
or as a defensive measure against a warlike neighbour. This book
seeks to redress this simplistic perception of causality for Roman
annexation and argues that the Romans sought advantage from their
military endeavours and possessed a complex understanding of the
factors that could contribute to advantage or disadvantage. This
work provides a comprehensive methodology, which is based on the
modern cost-benefit analysis tool, for the assessment of Roman
annexation in order to determine whether, and under what
circumstances, annexation was advantageous to Rome. The methodology
is then used to assess Trajan's annexation of Dacia in AD 106-107.
This book is aimed at academics, students and anyone with an
interest in the causes for imperialist expansion in the ancient or
modern world.
