This volume presents a new critical edition, translation and analysis of Themistius' letter to Julian about kingship and government, which survives mainly in Arabic, together with texts, translations and analyses of Julian's Letter to Themistius and Sopater's Letter to Himerius. The volume is completed with a text, translation and analysis of the other genuine work of Greek political theory to survive in Arabic, the Letter of Aristotle to Alexander, which dates from an earlier period and throws into relief the particular concerns of Themistius, Julian, and the rulers of the fourth-century Roman world. 517 3 $aThemistius, Julian, & Greek Political Theory under Rome 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y30 B.C.-476 A.D 607 $aRome$xKings and rulers 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 676 $a937.080922 700 $aSwain$b Simon$0176530 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463978903321 996 $aThemistius, Julian and Greek political theory under Rome$92448412 997 $aUNINA
