A Companion to the Flavian Age of Imperial Rome provides a
systematic and comprehensive examination of the political,
economic, social, and cultural nuances of the Flavian Age
(69-96 CE).
* Includes contributions from over two dozen Classical Studies
scholars organized into six thematic sections
* Illustrates how economic, social, and cultural forces
interacted to create a variety of social worlds within a composite
Roman empire
* Concludes with a series of appendices that provide detailed
chronological and demographic information and an extensive glossary
of terms
* Examines the Flavian Age more broadly and inclusively than ever
before incorporating coverage of often neglected groups, such as
women and non-Romans within the Empire
