This was the crucial half-century of Rome's spectacular rise to imperial status, but Roman interest in its eastern neighbors began a little earlier, with the First Illyrian War ofand climaxed later with the infamous destruction of Corinth in Taken at the Flood chronicles this momentous move by Rome into the Greek east. Until now, this period of history has been overshadowed by the threat of Carthage in the west, but events in the east were no less important in themselves, and Robin Waterfield's account reveals the peculiar nature of Rome's eastern policy. For over seventy years, the Romans avoided annexation so that they could commit their military and financial resources to the fight against Carthage and elsewhere. Though ultimately a failure, this policy of indirect rule, punctuated by periodic brutal military interventions and intense diplomacy, worked well for several decades, until the Senate finally settled on more direct forms of control. Waterfield's fast-paced narrative focuses mainly on military and diplomatic maneuvers, but throughout he interweaves other topics and themes, such as the influence of Greek culture on Rome, the Roman aristocratic ethos, and the clash between the two best fighting machines the ancient world Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece produced: the Macedonian phalanx and Roman legion. The result is an absorbing account of a critical chapter in Rome's mastery of the Mediterranean. Get A Copy. Kindle Editionpages. More Details Original Title. Roman Republic Greece.

This is a compact military and political history of the Roman conflicts with Greece between BC, told by a well-known classicist writer and translator. It is set forth without a lot Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece polemical frills, contrary to what is suggested in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review. Events Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece clearly related, and the book works well as an introduction to the period. It is not a comprehensive or in depth survey of the period. It wouldn't be possible in pages. There isn't much social or cultural histo This is a compact military and political history of the Roman conflicts with Greece between BC, told by a well-known classicist writer and translator. There isn't much social Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece cultural history presented, aside from several supplemental passages. Some have been quick to criticize the drawing of comparisons between the Roman Empire and the United States. The importance of this within the overall context of the book has been overstated as it only appears a few times. Waterfield points out that this is not the purpose of the book, nor his area of expertise. But it is not an overall anachronistic portrayal of the period on the part of the author. Waterfield could have deleted these passages and probably should have since they don't really add much to the book. A reader suggested we would be better off to just read Polybius and Livy. The scope of the historian shouldn't be limited to recounting primary sources, influenced as these sources were by the politics and perspectives of their time. A higher goal would be to provide analysis and advance critical thinking about the sources. Waterfield provides such insights, and it is up to us to decide if we agree with them or not. Limiting the scope of an ancient historian to factual representation, besides being unachievable, denies the tradition and evolution of modern historiography. To read Roman history by Gibbon, Mommsen, Syme, or Gruen provides substantially different insights on many of the same events. These writers Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece built upon and argued against the work of their predecessors. The Roman conquest of Greece is replete with competing Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece. Several views advanced were that Rome was defending itself against anarchy in the Mediterranean, that Rome became involved as a series of unplanned circumstances over a long period, or that Rome was intentionally extending their political and economic influence. Waterfield comes down on the side of the last argument, and gives various reasons for this. I can see aspects of these explanations existing simultaneously without contradiction. The bibliography references primary and secondary sources for further study. This book is worthwhile reading if you are interested in a basic recount of the events, or to review ideas you've read elsewhere. For steadfast supporters of the Republic, let it be it known: Rome looks no worse than others in this tome. Just finished reading Taken at the Flood. I thought it did a good job at describing the geopolitical situation inherent in The Roman Republic's eventual conquest of Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece. His analysis was interesting, but at times I found it too cursory. This was particularly true when he was discussing key battles. Nevertheless, I appreciated his key points, namely Rome's strategy of virtual control and balance if power politics. It was definitely enjoyable and interesting. It is obvious that Waterfield's sympathies lie with the Greeks, and his account of the Roman conquest is more focused on how the Greeks abased themselves before the Romans over the course of the second century BC. Waterfield's view of the Romans falls mainly in line with William Harris's thesis: the Romans were aggressively looking to expand their control into Greece and the Balkan peninsula almost from its first foray into Illyria in BC. A useful counterpoint to other accounts, like Erich G It is obvious that Waterfield's sympathies lie with the Greeks, and his account of the Roman conquest is more focused on how the Greeks abased themselves before the Romans over the course of the second century BC.

The book gets a bit tedious when it dives into the fine details surrounding the squabbling Greek states; it would have Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece satisfying if this section had been condensed into a more digestible form. The Roman side of events is far more readable and fascinating, but overall this remains a solid overview of Greece's absorption into the newly coalescing Roman Empire.

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Greece, the Land Where Myths Replaces Reality
    GREECE, THE LAND WHERE MYTHS REPLACE REALITY (Myths about Epirus) What is myth and what does it serve? Myth is a narrative based usually on a false story which can not be used as a replacement of history, but sometimes myth might be considered a distorted account of a real historical event. The myth does not differ much from a folktale and usually the boundary between them is very thin. Myth must not be used to reconstruct, however in the ancient society of the so called “”Ancient Greeks”” myth was usually regarded as a true account for a remote past. Surprisingly this ‘tradition’ is descended to the Modern Greeks as well. They never loose the chance to use the myths and the mythology of a remote past and to pose them as their real ethnic history. This job is being done combining the ancient myths with the ones already created in the modern era. Now let’s take a look at two Greek myths, respectively one ancient and one modern, while our job is to prove that even these myths are respectively hijacked or created to join realities not related to each other, but unfortunately propagandized belonging to a real history, the history of the Greek race. Thus before we analyze and expose some of their myths which are uncountable, we are inclined to say that whatever is considered Greek History is completely based on mythical stories, whose reliability and truthiness is deeply compromised for the mere fact that is based on myths not only by the Modern Greeks and especially philhellenes, but even by the ancient authors.

Fascinated by the inextricable blend of historicity and personality that emerges from Livy‖s text, I immediately directed my attention toward Polybius 18. Plutarch‖s Life of Flamininus was the next logical step. Although I was not destined to pursue an academic career, the deep impression left on me by these authors endured over the following years. Hence, finally, with the leisure and a most gratefully accepted opportunity, my thesis. My thanks are due initially to Dr T.A. Dorey, who inspired and nurtured my interest in ancient historiography during my undergraduate years in the University of Birmingham.

  • First Steps of the Roman Diplomacy in the Eastern Mediterranean: Development of the Common Political Strategy
    Studia Antiqua et Archaeologica 24(2): 221–239 First steps of the Roman diplomacy in the Eastern Mediterranean: development of the common political strategy Andrey V. VASILYEV1 Abstract. The article deals with the first diplomatic contacts of Rome in the Hellenistic world in 3rd century BC (before the beginning of the Second Macedonian War). The author attempts to discover if Roman Senate had common approach to its eastern policy in this period. In general the author agrees with those scholars who assert that Romans on their eastern diplomacy used the instrument (widespread in the interstate relations of the Hellenistic world) of “informal friendship” (amicitia – φιλία). However, tracing the development of the Roman relations with its “friends” in the Eastern Mediterranean, the author comes to the conclusion that from the beginning of the Illyrian Wars Roman attitude towards those states which established the amicable relations with Rome started to change. Romans more and more perceived these states as clients and expected from them services, which were usually provided by the Roman socii in Italy. The only exception from such a practice was the military alliance with Aetolia during the First Macedonian War which was determined by the extraordinary circumstances of this conflict. Rezumat. Autorul face referire la primele contacte diplomatice ale Romei cu lumea elenistică în secolul al III-lea a.Chr. (înainte de începutul celui de-al doilea război macedonean). El este în general de acord cu acei cercetători care susțin că romanii au utilizat în diplomația lor din răsărit instrumentul (altminteri răspândit în relațiile interstatale din lumea elenistică) „prieteniei informale” (amicitia – φιλία).

    Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC Submitted by Jack James Willoughby, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, September 2018. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… Page 1 of 181 Abstract This thesis aims to determine how and why Rome undertook a series of interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC. The thesis is based on a detailed examination and consideration of the ancient written sources and the subsequent historiography on the subject. The Roman interventions in Illyria during this period have traditionally been treated as a component of wider studies of Roman expansion, although Rome’s involvement in Illyria has recently been examined by Dzino in his 2010 work Illyricum in Roman Politics 229BC-AD68. This work examined the development and integration of Illyricum in Roman political discourse, in which the Roman interventions were a smaller component in the broader study. A study of the Roman interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC has never previously been treated on this scale, nor effectively with a synthesis of the various approaches and pieces of evidence that are now available.
