Presenting a new and revealing overview of the ruling classes of
the Roman Empire, this volume explores aspects of the relations
between the official state structures of Rome and local provincial
elites. The central objective of the volume is to present as
complex a picture as possible of the provincial leaderships and
their many and varied responses to the official state structures.
The perspectives from which issues are approached by the
contributors are as multiple as the realities of the Roman world:
from historical and epigraphic studies to research of philological
and linguistic interpretations, and from architectural analyses to
direct interpretations of the material culture. While some local
potentates took pride in their relationship with Rome and their use
of Latin, exhibiting their allegiances publicly as well as
privately, others preferred to keep this display solely for public
manifestation. These complex and complementary pieces of research
provide an in-depth image of the power mechanisms within the Roman
state. The chronological span of the volume is from Rome's
Republican conquest of Greece to the changing world of the fourth
and fifth centuries AD, when a new ecclesiastical elite began to
emerge.
