Politics and Society in Imperial Rome

by Aloys Winterling

This book collects ten of Aloys Winterling's essays which reinterpret the nature of the early Imperial state, and draw out the contradictions created by the imposition of imperial authority onto the republican system. Topics under discussion include social stratification, relationships between and within social classes and the system of patronage, and conceptions of public and private within political institutions. Case studies look at the reign of Caligula and the role of the Imperial court, whilst other essays re-evaluate the work of Christian Meier and Theodor Mommsen. 170p (Wiley-Blackwell 2009)
