A few tiny chips to DJ else fine. ; xxi, 494pp.; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world, it did not. Rather, its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover, the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem, Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question, Why did the Roman empire fall? Rather, he asks, W... View More...

Das Ausmaß der Teilhabe an der Herstellung kollektiv verbindlicher Entscheidungen ist ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Analyse politischer Systeme.

Gleichwohl waren die Möglichkeiten, an politischen Entscheidungen mitzuwirken, nicht unbeschränkt. Es gab auch hier Grenzen politischer Partizipation. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes untersuchen beispielhaft an verschiedenen Gesellschaften des archaischen und klassi... View More...
