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 period 607 $aRome$xHistory$yRepublic, 265-30 B.C 607 $aRome$xCivilization$xForeign influences 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a937.02 686 $a6,12$2ssgn 686 $aFH 47303$2rvk 701 $aDerow$b Peter$0788635 701 $aSmith$b Christopher John$f1965-$01004405 701 $aYarrow$b Liv Mariah$0447512 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996206498003316 996 $aImperialism, cultural politics, and polybius$92307219 997 $aUNISA
