Published in honour of the distinguished Oxford academic Peter Derow, they follow some of his main interests: the author Polybius, the characteristics of Roman power and imperial ambition, and the mechanisms used by Rome in creating and sustaining an empire in the east. Written by a distinguished group of international historians, all of whom were taughtby Derow, the volume constitutes a new and distinctive contribution to the history of this centrally important periodRomeHistoryRepublic, 265-30 B.CRomeCivilizationForeign influencesElectronic books.937.026,12ssgnFH 47303rvkDerow Peter788635Smith Christopher John1965-1004405Yarrow Liv Mariah447512MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996206498003316Imperialism, cultural politics, and polybius2307219UNISA
