C. ) was less centrally controlled by the Senate and more shaped by the ad hoc decisions of individual generals in the field, challenging the traditional view of a consistently directed Roman expansion. Eckstein posits that while the Senate held authority, magistrates and commanders often made crucial, improvised choices that later became policy, leading to a more flexible and decentralized approach to expansion, particularly in areas like Spain, Africa, and Greece. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 403 pages.
