Book Synopsis

A compelling account of the assimilation and adaptation of Greek culture by the Romans during the middle and later Republic.



Trade Review

An immensely prolific scholar of the last three centuries of the Roman Republic, Gruen has been moving toward studies of the more purely cultural aspects of the period. He considers the means and the extent to which the Roman aristocracy assimilated Greek culture and, in assimilating it, asserted their own separate Roman identity.... The book illustrates Gruen's strengths: mastery of the ancient evidence and ability to argue it.

* Choice *

For those working on the history, literature, or art of this period, Gruen's books are valuable. They are a model of their kind: meticulously documented, full of informative notes and arguments, and careful in their exposition of details.
