Purchase options and add-ons

This book evaluates a hundred years of scholarship on how empire transformed the Roman world, and advances a new theory of how the empire worked and was experienced. It engages extensively with Rome's Republican empire as well as the 'Empire of the Caesars', examines a broad range of ancient evidence (material, documentary, and literary) that illuminates multiple perspectives, and emphasizes the much longer history of imperial rule within which the Roman Empire emerged. Steering a course between overemphasis on resistance and overemphasis on consensus, it highlights the political, social, religious and cultural consequences of an imperial system within which functions of state were substantially delegated to, or more often simply assumed by, local agencies and institutions. The book is accessible and of value to a wide range of undergraduate and graduate students as well as of interest to all scholars concerned with the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

  • Joanna Clarke
    4.0 out of 5 stars Way over everyone’s head
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2023
    I studied Roman history in the 1990s at Birkbeck College London and the lecture who taught me was... Emma Dench, who has since gone very high and is a professor at Harvard, where she is currently Dean of Classics. So I bought this book just to see if her intellect is as stratospheric as it once was. It is.

    She’s not writing for the person who is interested in Romans, but for other academics, so this is essentially a discourse with Francis Haverfield, and if you don’t know who he was, you’ll struggle (he wrote ‘The Romanization of Roman Britain’. I have actually read it, and it was radical at that time, and a lot easier to read). This book, like most of Emma’s books, is going to end up in a university library near you. Not bedtime reading.
