Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Antiquarian. Croom Helm, London / Sydney, 1985. XVII, (8),260p. Paperback. Lower corner front cover and first pages slightly bumped. ?Dr. Levick has produced a useful and, in general, well thought-out sourcebook which contains 230 passages (whether extracts of complete documents) in translation. The books is divided into twelve chapters embracing, after a prefatory chapter, the topics of structure, force, law, financing, communications, loyalty, patronage, assimilation, failings, resistance and crisis. Within each chapter the author provides running commentaries which serve both to try to elucidate the translated passages, and to link one to another. The book is completed by a chronological list of emperors, select biography, index of passages cited (including brief biographical notes on ancient authors). As the list of topics indicates the contents of the book are wide-ranging, certainly more than its title might suggest.The author?s choice of passages is judicious, the translations are clear and the commentaries generally helpful. (? ) In short this book deserves wide circulation.? (GRAHAM BURTON in Journal of Roman Studies, 1987, pp.199-200). Antiquarian. Artikel-Nr. 34224
