The Language of Empire: Rome and the Idea of Empire from the Third Century BC to the Second Century AD
Richardson, John (University of Edinburgh)

Changes in the meaning of some key words enable us to bypass modern assumptions about empire and discover what the Romans themselves thought they were doing.
