254 texts, in English translation, from lesser known authors (and also many passages from Cassius Dio not in LACTOR 15), legal sources, inscriptions, papyri and coins, grouped to illustrate the main themes of: Roman imperialism, including expansion, wars, frontiers; provincial government, including urbanisation, taxation, revolts; and social and economic life, including manpower, religion. The texts are presented within a continuous narrative, which aids understanding of their historical context, and also means that the volume can be read as an introduction to the history of the Roman empire under the Principate. There are tables of coins and measures, three maps, a list of emperors, and full indexes to sources, names and subjects. Invaluable for any course on the government of the Roman empire in this period, including the OCR Ancient History AS/A-level module 'Emperors and Empire AD 14-117'.
