The Hellenistic World and the Coming of Rome, Volume 1

Front Cover
University of California Press, Sep 25, 1986 - History - 862 pages
In this revisionist study of Roman imperialism in the Greek world, Gruen considers the Hellenistic context within which Roman expansion took place. The evidence discloses a preponderance of Greek rather than Roman ideas: a noteworthy readiness on the part of Roman policymakers to adjust to Hellenistic practices rather than to impose a system of their own.
