Opis

The rise and fall of city patrons in the Greek East is linked to the fundamental changes that took place during the fall of the Republic and the transition to the Principate. This discursive treatment of the origins, nature, and decline of this type of patronage, and its place in Roman practice as a whole, is supplemented by a reference catalogue of Roman patrons of Greek communities.

Recenzje

This book will be of interest to teachers and students who wish to pursue the wider context of Roman patronage. There is something here for the reader of Cicero and those interested in Rome and its provinces.
