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. 517 3 $aFriendship & Empire 606 $aFriendship$xPolitical aspects$zRome$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome$xForeign relations$y510-30 B.C 615 0$aFriendship$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a937/.04 700 $aBurton$b Paul J.$f1969-$01050651 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 912 $a9910461021003321 996 $aFriendship and empire$92480610 997 $aUNINA
