Between 327 and 70 B.C. the Romans expanded their empire throughout
the Mediterranean world. This highly original study looks at Roman
attitudes and behavior that lay behind their quest for power. How
did Romans respond to warfare, year after year? How important were
the material gains of military success--land, slaves, and other
riches--commonly supposed to have been merely an incidental result?
What value is there in the claim of the contemporary historian
Polybius that the Romans were driven by a greater and greater
ambition to expand their empire? The author answers these questions
within an analytic framework, and comes to an interpretation of
Roman imperialism that differs sharply from the conventional ones.
