Since the publication of A Study of Cassius Dio by Oxford University Press in 1964, Millar has published eight books, including two monumental studies, The Emperor in the RomanWorld (Duckworth, 1977) and The Roman Near East, 31 b.c.–a.d. 337 (Harvard, 1993).These books have transformed the study of ancient history.
This is the second volume of three-volume collection of essays, drawn from a wide variety of journals and edited volumes, over nearly four decades of scholarly production, presents editors with some major stylistic challenges. Collection contains more than fifty essays. Most of these essays originally were published in learned journals or books. Therefore, the primary goal of collection, Rome, the Greek World, and the East, is to bring together into three volumes the most significant of Millar’s essays published since 1961 for the widest audience possible. The collection includes many articles that clearly will be of great intellectual interest and pedagogical use to scholars doing research and teaching in the different fields. The principle of arrangement of the essays in each of the three volumes is broadly chronological by subject matter treated within the ancient world.Introduction to Volume 2, by Hannah M. Cotton.
