      abstract = {"This study in the language of Roman imperialism provides  a provocative new perspective on the Roman imperial  project. It highlights the prominence of the language of  mastery and slavery in Roman descriptions of the conquest  and subjection of the provinces. More broadly, it explores  how Roman writers turn to paradigmatic modes of dependency  familiar from everyday life - not just slavery but also  clientage and childhood - in order to describe their  authority over, and responsibilities to, the subject  population of the provinces. It traces the relative  importance of these different models for the imperial  project across almost three centuries of Latin literature,  from the middle of the first century BCE to the beginning  of the third century CE"--},
