In his newest book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates why the adoption of Roman ways was so prevalent during this period. Drawing largely on archaeological sources, MacMullen discovers that during this period more than half a million Roman veterans were resettled in colonies overseas, and an additional hundred or more urban centers in the provinces took on normal Italian-Roman town constitutions. Great sums of expendable wealth came into the hands of ambitious Roman and local notables, some of which was spent in establishing and advertising Roman ways. MacMullen argues that acculturation of the ancient world was due not to cultural imperialism on the part of the conquerors but to eagerness of imitation among the conquered, and that the Romans were able to respond with surprisingly effective techniques of mass production and standardization. 606 $aAcculturation$zRome 606 $aRoman provinces$xAdministration 607 $aRome$xCivilization 607 $aRome$xHistory$yAugustus, 30 B.C.-14 A.D 615 0$aAcculturation 615 0$aRoman provinces$xAdministration. 676 $a937/.07 700 $aMacMullen$b Ramsay$f1928-2022,$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01337539 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777863003321 996 $aRomanization in the Time of Augustus$93716384 997 $aUNINA
