Empire of Honour: The Art of Government in the Roman World
Lendon, J. E. (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Jon Lendon offers a bold new analysis of how Roman government worked in the first four centuries AD. A despotism rooted in force and fear enjoyed widespread support among the ruling classes of the provinces on the basis of an aristocratic culture of honour shared by rulers and ruled.
