These are some of the many questions posed here, in the new, expanded edition of Garnsey and Sallers pathbreaking account of the economy, society, and culture of the Roman Empire. This second edition includes a new introduction that explores the consequences for government and the governing classes of the replacement of the Republic by the rule of emperors. Addenda to the original chapters offer up-to-date discussions of issues and point to new evidence and approaches that have enlivened the study of Roman history in recent decades. A completely new chapter assesses how far Romes subjects resisted her hegemony. The bibliography has also been thoroughly updated, and a new color plate section has been added.

Two adjacent details from the mosaic depicting the Circus Maximus in the fourth-century AD floor of the Roman villa at Piazza Armerina in Sicily. The images demonstrate the ideological significance of the Circus in Rome as worthy of reference in private decoration in far-away Sicily, as well as the remarkable multiculturalism of monuments signalling Egypt and Asia Minor in a major public display context in Rome. Photos: R.J.A. Wilson.
a. The central obelisk of the spina.
b. The larger-than-lifesize statue-group of Cybele riding a lion.

Fortunes of a Roman icon. The group of Aeneas carrying his father Anchises and leading his son Iulus, set up in the Forum of Augustus around 2 BC , no longer survives. However, it was copied and replicated in numerous forms, some monumental and some miniature, some expensive and some very cheap, across the empire.
