This book comprises 16 articles published over 30 years, together
with addenda and corrigenda, and two new essays. Some concern Roman
aspirations to world dominion, others bear on Rome's success in
winning the loyalty or acquiescence of her subjects. The attitudes
of the masses to Roman rule are virtually unknowable, but almost
everywhere the higher orders among the subjects were reconciled by
the Roman policy of assimilating them to Romans and giving them an
increasing share in the central government, while maintaining their
control of local affairs. The Roman Empire, unlike the British,
evoked no national resistance, except from the Jews. Various
studies of Roman administration, especially fiscal, however,
suggest that Rome's rule was not endeared to the subjects by the
lightness of the burden imposed, nor by the integrity and
professional competence of her administrators, which have often
been over-estimated.
