Empires, the largest political systems of the ancient and early
modern world, powerfully transformed the lives of people within and
even beyond their frontiers in ways quite different from other,
non-imperial societies. Appearing in all parts of the globe, and in
many different epochs, empires invite comparative analysis - yet
few attempts have been made to place imperial systems within such a
framework. This book brings together studies by distinguished
scholars from diverse academic traditions, including anthropology,
archaeology, history and classics. The empires discussed include
case studies from Central and South America, the Mediterranean,
Europe, the Near East, South East Asia and China, and range in time
from the first millennium BC to the early modern era. The book
organises these detailed studies into five thematic sections:
sources, approaches and definitions; empires in a wider world;
imperial integration and imperial subjects; imperial ideologies;
and the afterlife of empires.
