From the late Republic and into the Principate, the Roman elite managed the empire through insititutional and personal ties to the communities of the Empire. Especially in the Latin West the emperors encouraged the adoption of the Latin language and urban amenities, and were generous in the award of citizenship. This process, and ?Romanization? is a reasonable label, was facilitated by civic patronage. The literary evidence provides a basis for understanding this transformation from subject to citizen and for constructing a higher allegiance to the idea of Rome. We gain a more complete understanding of the process by considering the legal and monumental/epigraphical evidence that guided and encouraged such benefaction and exchange. This book uses all three forms of evidence to provide a deeper understanding of how patrocinium publicum served as a formal vehicle for securing the goodwill of the citizens and subjects of Rome. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum.$pHistory and archaeology of classical antiquity ;$vv. 365. 606 $aPatron and client$zRome$xHistory 606 $aCommunity life$zRome$xHistory 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zRome$xHistory 606 $aExchange$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome$xSocial conditions 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government 607 $aRome$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPatron and client$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aExchange$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/220937 700 $aNicols$b John$0209432 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453179703321 996 $aCivic patronage in the Roman Empire$92287144 997 $aUNINA
