Kinship, conflict and unity among Roman elites in post-Roman Gaul : the contrasting experiences of Caesarius and Avitus / Leslie Dodd."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 publically 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 4th and 5th centuries AD, when a new ecclesiastical elite began to emerge"--Provided by publisher.Roman provincesPolitics and governmentPower (Social sciences)RomeProvincesHistoryElite (Social sciences)RomeProvincesHistoryState-local relationsRomeHistoryRomePolitics and government265-30 B.CRomePolitics and government30 B.C.-476 A.DElectronic books.Roman provincesPolitics and government.Power (Social sciences)ProvincesHistory.Elite (Social sciences)ProvincesHistory.State-local relationsHistory.320.80937Rusu-Bolindet Viorica699152Varga Rada1000260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910153102303321Official power and local elites in the Roman provinces2295912UNINA05567oam 22006735 450 991079036760332120200520144314.01-280-78294-397866136933340-8213-9472-X10.1596/978-0-8213-9471-7(CKB)2670000000205253(EBL)932972(OCoLC)795120460(SSID)ssj0000676866(PQKBManifestationID)12322623(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000676866(PQKBWorkID)10693193(PQKB)11157647(MiAaPQ)EBC932972(Au-PeEL)EBL932972(CaPaEBR)ebr10569002(CaONFJC)MIL369333(The World Bank)17076641(US-djbf)17076641(EXLCZ)99267000000020525320111208d2012 uf 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBorderless bazaars and regional integration in Central Asia : emerging patterns of trade and cross- border cooperation /Bartlomiej Kaminski and Saumya MitraWashington DC :World Bank,[2012]copyright 2012.pages cmDirections in developmentDescription based upon print version of record.0-8213-9471-1 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; About the Authors; Abbreviations; Chapter 1 Overview; Characteristics of Trade Flows; Figures; 1.1 Taxonomy of Trade Flows in Central Asia; Tables; 1.1 The Kyrgyz Republic Trade Flows through Standard and Non-Standard Channels, 2005-10; Barriers to and Benefits of Trade through the Bazaar Channel; 1.2 Aggregate Consumer Goods Imports Not Reported in Trade Statistics of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic; China's Share of These Imports, 2005-10; Role of Bazaars in Economic Development and Integration; Deepening Border Development Cooperation; NotesReferencesChapter 2 Border Trade: Geography and Policy-Induced Barriers; Definition of Border Trade; 2.1 Border Lengths (km) between CAREC Countries and Land Area within 30 km of a Border; Border Traders and Products Traded; Price Gaps across Borders; 2.2 Prices of Selected Bazaar Products at the Kyrgyz Republic-Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic-Uzbekistan Borders, 2007; Employment and Income Effects of Border Trade; Impact of Government Policies on Border Trade; 2.3 Sensitivity of Types of Trade in Goods to Various Border Barriers to Trade2.1 Layouts of Two Afghanistan-Tajikistan Border-Crossing PointsGovernment-Imposed Obstacles; 2.4 Capacity of Surveyed Border-Crossing Points, June 2007; Boxes; 2.1 Visa Cost Eliminates Prospect of Border Exchanges; Conclusion; Notes; References; Chapter 3 Border Trade at the "Periphery": Afghanistan's Trade with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; Afghanistan's Trade with Other CAREC Members: Studies of Two BCPs; 3.1 Afghanistan's Trade with Tajikistan; Hairatan BCP: Untapped Potential for Cross-Border Trade; 3.1 Design of Hairatan Border Facilities; Afghanistan-Tajikistan and Hairatan BCPs Compared3.2 People and Vehicles through Hairatan and Sher Khan Bandar, Afghanistan3.2 Design of the Sher Khan Bandar Border Crossing Point; Welfare Cost of Barriers to Afghanistan's Border Trade; Note; References; Chapter 4 The Dynamism of Bazaars; Survey Methodology: Sample and Method; Bazaar Characteristics; 4.1 Type and Country of Bazaars Surveyed; 4.2 Barakholka, Kazakhstan, Bazaar Monthly Sales and Cost Estimates per Sales Outlet and Total; 4.1 Linkages between International and City Bazaars; 4.3 Selected Income-Related Characteristics of Surveyed Bazaars, 2008Employment and Income-Generating Effects of Bazaars4.4 Estimates of Annualized Fixed Costs at Surveyed Bazaars, 2008; Other Positive Externalities of Bazaars: The Untold Story of Kyrgyz Garments; 4.5 Officially Reported Clothing Exports in the Kyrgyz Statistics and Clothing Imports from the Kyrgyz Republic in Other Countries' Statistics; 4.1 Kyrgyz Textiles and Clothing Output: Official Statistics vs. Estimates, 2005-10; Conclusions Regarding the Importance of Bazaars; Notes; References; Chapter 5 Cross-Border Trade through Bazaars; Sources of Bazaar Goods and Foreign Sales5.1 Annual Sales and Share of Imports and Foreign Sales in Surveyed BazaarsTrade that straddles borders in Central Asia plays a vital role in the livelihoods of border communities and buttresses prosperity in often poor regions.
