Title: The Maritime World of Ancient Rome Condition: New Format: Hardback EAN: 9780472115815 ISBN: 9780472115815 Publisher: The University of Michigan Press Release Date: 30/04/2008 Description: It was not until the 3rd century BC that geopolitical realities beyond Italy forced Rome to recognize the importance of the sea to its own fate. Two centuries later, following the fall of Egypt in 30 BC, Rome emerged as the dominant maritime power. Once in place, Rome's dominance of the sea became an important component of its imperial history. No other power before or since has controlled the Mediterranean basin or exercised an imperial naval tenure to such an extent. With contributions from eminent scholars from around the world, this volume builds upon and extends the scope of the American Academy in Rome's first volume on Rome's maritime life, ""The Seaborne Commerce of Ancient Rome: Studies in Archaeology and History"".
