The comparative study of empires has traditionally been addressed
in the widest possible global historical perspective with
comparison of New World empires such as the Aztecs and Incas side
by side with the history of imperial Rome and the empires of China
and Russia in the medieval and modern periods. Surprisingly little
work has been carried out focusing on the evolution of state
control and imperial administration in the same territory;
approached in a rigorous and historically grounded fashion over a
wide extent of historical time from late antiquity to the twentieth
century. The empires of Rome, Byzantium, the Ottomans and the
latter-day imperialists in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, all inherited or seized and sought to develop
overlapping parts of a common territorial base in the Eastern
Mediterranean and all struggled to contain, control or otherwise
alter the political, cultural and spiritual allegiances of the same
indigenous population groups that were brought under their rule and
administration. The task undertaken in Imperial Lineages and
Legacies in the Eastern Mediterranean is to investigate the balance
between continuity and change adopted at various historical
conjunctures when new imperial regimes were established and to
expose common features and shared approaches to the challenge of
imperial rule that united otherwise divergent societies and
imperial administrations. The work incorporates the contributions
by twelve scholars, each leading practitioners in their respective
fields and each contributing their particular insights on the
shared theme of imperial identity and legacy in the Mediterranean
World of the pagan, Christian and Muslim eras.
