<p>The relationship of patron and client was a typically Roman institution: a relationship between the weaker and the stronger based on moral obligation and sanctioned by custom and force. This book attempts to show how it became the pattern of Rome's relations with foreign states, how it developed into the chief instrument of Roman domination, and how this relationship formed a critical part of the fabric that held the Empire together.</p>

Roman Imperialism in the Late Republic

From the Greek victory over Persian forces on the field of Plataea to the Athenian blockade of the rebel city of Potidaea―key events in the Persian and Peloponnesian wars, respectively―the half-century of Greek history known as the pentecontaetia is an era for which sources are few and interpretation is controversial. Historian E. Badian brings together six essays―one new and five revised for this edition―that shed new light on this key period.
