First published in 1974, this book is a collection of nine essays
written by Victor Ehrenberg between 1925 and 1967, five of which
had not been published before. They deal with a number of aspects
of Greek and Roman history, and with the nature of ancient history
in the East and West. The first essay is a broad survey of
interactions between opposing forces and ideas in the world as seen
from the most ancient Near Eastern civilizations to the beginning
of the western Middle Ages and the era of Byzantium; this is
followed by discussions of topics from Classical and Hellenistic
Greece and Republican and Imperial Rome, with the accent on the
history of ideas and institutions -freedom, the Greek city-state,
and Roman concepts of state and empire. The final chapter consists
of personal reflections on the meaning of history from the writer's
own characteristic viewpoint, and is, as he admits, more in the way
of a confession than pure scholarship.
