These included civic praise, crowns, proedria, public funerals, honorific statues and monuments. The authors discuss the development of this honorific system, and in particular the epigraphic texts and the monuments through which it is accessible. The focus is on the Imperial period (1st-3rd centuries AD). The papers investigate the forms of honour, the procedures and formulae of local practices, as well as the changes in local honorific habits that resulted from the integration of the Greek cities in the Roman Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements List of Illustrations  Introduction: Civic Honours, from Classical to Roman Times  Anna Heller and Onno van Nijf  Part 1: The Economy of Honour: Financial and Symbolic Exchanges  1 Praise and Honour  Olivier Gengler  2 Les timai dans le discours civique et moral à la fin du ier siècle ap.
