Between 327 and 70 B.C. the Romans expanded their empire throughout the Mediterranean world. This highly original study looks at Roman attitudes and behavior that lay behind their quest for power. How did Romans respond to warfare, year after year? How important were the material gains of military success--land, slaves, and other riches--commonly supposed to have been merely an incidental result? What value is there in the claim of the contemporary historian Polybius that the Romans were driven by a greater and greater ambition to expand their empire? The author answers these questions within an analytic framework, and comes to an interpretation of Roman imperialism that differs sharply from the conventional ones.

這作者真是一個又細心又耐心的人
评分真是一本大書...從Roman expansive imperialism的噱頭過來的，展捲之後發現內容極為細緻豐富。因為要論證擴張性帝國主義，除瞭要全方位探討社會各階層對戰爭的態度、戰爭與經濟利益的相關程度這種不很復雜的話題之外，謹慎起見還得對這持續幾個世紀的對外戰爭進行分期，嘗試分析每一場戰爭背後的利益運作以及不同時期的政策傾嚮性。作者讓Expansive imperialism在文獻上站住腳的一個核心預設其實就是將羅馬作傢的defensive錶述統統視作類似外交辭令一般的錶麵文章，而彼此對擴張的野望心照不宣。但其實作者寫起來並沒有像預設好的那麼規整，相反他不厭其煩的探討瞭很多細節，還劃分瞭不同時期imperialism的錶現形式，讓可讀性打瞭摺扣。
