The twenty-six contributors to this volume discuss various aspects of the political, social an economic life of the cities during Roman rule, thereby filing a large lacuna in this important period of Greek history.
They also shed light on the development of Greece's relationship with Rome and its progressive integration into the Roman System.
This regional approach to the relationship with central authority confirms the wide range of intervention on the part of Rome in the various provinces and its adaptation to local conditions.
This policy facilitated interaction between Greek and Roman words and the values which each professed and served.
