More about the book

Lendon presents a provocative examination of Roman governance during the first four centuries AD, arguing that a system of despotism, fueled by force and fear, was widely endorsed by provincial elites. He highlights the significance of an aristocratic culture of honor that linked rulers and subjects, suggesting that this shared value system underpinned the stability and support for authoritarian rule within the empire.
