Chester Starr, first president of the Association, accepted this challenge, perhaps rather less daunting to him than it would have been to most by reason of his vast knowledge of the whole of the ancient Mediterranean world. Published in 1987 by University Press of America, the volume quickly accomplished its purpose of furthering teaching and study of ancient history. In addition to its distribution to all current members of the Association it was sold by the publisherin fact, it was sold-out and not reprinted. Three subsequent publications have appeared and several more have been commissioned, all examining recent trends in scholarship albeit in more limited aspects of antiquity. As the list of more specialized titles grew, it seemed important to provide a current overview of the broad sweep of ancient Greek and Roman studies; our study of the deep past DOES change even in the space of a single decade. Basic divisions of the subject have not changed, however, so the current review uses the model of the earlier volume: sections treat, in turn, Greece, the Hellenistic Age including Macedon, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire. Areas of both continuity and change over the last ten years are tracked. Each section has been compiled by a specialist in that aspect of ancient history, though each of the fourtime and other commitments permittingcould have produced the entire volume, such is the scholarly accomplishment of each contributor. A second criterion was key in the search for compilers, namely dedication to the work of our Association. In fact, this factor proved to be a useful persuasive device in more than one case! In order of their discussions, you will find Kurt Raaflaubs Greece', Stanley Burstein, The Hellenistic Age', Allen Ward on The Roman Republic, and Ramsay MacMullens treatment of The Roman Empire. A concise, general bibliography occurs in a final section. Brief notes on the contributors are found at the end of this volume. While following Starrs model, each scholars discussion is idiosyncratic, reflecting the authors own interests and knowledge, in the words of Kurt Raaflaub. Yet the audience in view remains similar to that envisioned by Starr. As Ramsay MacMullen put the matter well in an oral version of his contribution, I imagined myself addressing the same audience that I think [Starr] had in mind.an ancient historian, beginning or advanced, who is addressing some particular corner of it maybe someone whos most familiar with the Bronze Age but now wants some quick update on the centuries A.D.: whats new in that area? The frequent appearance of Chester Starrs name in these few pages indicates far more than use of his volume as a model: he is held in the highest esteem and affection as a teacher, colleague, scholar, and friend by countless numbers of people. And so we dedicate this effort to him, in the spirit of words he once offered to his mentor, M. L. W. Laistner (quoted in A. Ferrill and T. Kelly, edd., Chester G. Starr.
