Using both well-known and neglected sources, Professor Isaac reassesses the means by which Rome achieved and maintained her contorl over the region. He discusses the extent to which current vacillating views on imperialism can affect opinions concerning the character and mechanisms by which Rome ensured the integrity and expansion of her influence. Also considered here are problems of methodology, especially the use of archaelogical remains for historical interpretation. Now available in paperback, this revised edition contains extensive author's ammendments in the light of the most recent research, so that the book is now representative of the most up-to-date work on the subject. There is an additional bibliography, containing material only recently made available, and a new preface introducing the volume. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 517 $aLimits of Empire 531 $aLIMITS OF EMPIRE, THE 531 $aLIMITS OF EMPIRE: THE ROMAN ARMY IN THE EAST 531 $aTHE LIMITS OF EMPIRE 606 $aImperialism 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 622 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D 607 $aRome$xArmy$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism. 676 $a939.4 700 $aIsaac$b Benjamin H$0241600 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247927903316 996 $aThe limits of empire$93011011 997 $aUNISA
