City Government in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor

Sviatoslav Dmitriev

"City Government in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor examines the social and administrative transformation of Greek society within the early Roman empire, assessing the extent to which the numerous changes in Greek cities during the imperial period ought to be attributed to Roman influence. The topic is crucial to our understanding of the foundations of Roman imperial power because Greek speakers comprised the empire's second-largest population group and played a vital role in its administration, culture, and social life."--BOOK JACKET.
