The book challenges the prevailing orthodox Cold War-era realist interpretation of Roman imperialism and argues that language and ideals contributed just as much to Roman empire-building as military muscle. Using a constructivist theoretical framework drawn from international relations, Dr Burton replaces the modern scholarly fiction of a Roman empire built on networks of foreign clients and client-states with an interpretation grounded firmly in the discursive habits of the ancient texts themselves. The results better account for the peculiar rhythms of Rome's earliest period of overseas expansion - brief periods of vigorous military and diplomatic activity, such as the rolling back of Seleucid power in Asia Minor and Greece in 192-188 BC, followed by long periods of inactivity.Friendship & EmpireFriendshipPolitical aspectsRomeHistoryPolitical cultureRomeHistoryRomeForeign relations510-30 B.CFriendshipPolitical aspectsHistory.Political cultureHistory.937/.04Burton Paul J.1969-1050651UkCbUPUkCbUP9910461021003321Friendship and empire2480610UNINA
