From the rear cover

"A challengingly unfamiliar examination of the Roman Empire in context - forwards, backwards, sideways and through the looking glass - by an intriguing assemblage of scholars. A remarkable and thought-provoking collection."

"The Roman Empire in Context is a stimulating collection of essays of comparative history, ranging widely over time and space and informed conceptually by an engagement with theoretical literature on government and Empire."

"This is a wide ranging volume that achieves a genuinely comparative perspective. The editors have been uniquely successful in bringing together papers that complement each other across time and space. This is a book that should interest anyone with a serious interest in how we might learn from the experience of those who have gone before us."
