The Limits of Empire by Benjamin H Isaac
Exploring the means by which Rome controlled the vast and distant lands of the Near East, this work examines Roman political and military aims in the region. Using both well-known and neglected sources, and archaeological material, the author reassesses the means by which Rome achieved and maintained her control over the region. The book discusses the extent to which current vacillating views on imperialism can affect opinions concerning the character and mechanisms by which Rome insured the integrity and expansion of her influence. Also considered are problems of methodology, expecially the use of archaeological remains for historical interpretation.
