This is the first systematic and detailed study of Pausanias' view

of Roman involvement in Greece. It begins with an assessment of

Pausanias' life and writings, placing them in their contemporary

political, historical, literary and cultural context. Pausanias'

attitudes towards the art and artists of the pre-Roman period are

also considered, and his attempts to define and analyse the past

examined. Much of the book is devoted to the assessment of

Pausanias' attitudes to the political Republican leaders Mummius,

Sulla and Julius Caesar, emperors from Augustus to Marcus

Aurelius, and benefactors such as Herodes Atticus. The study

reveals the complexity and sophistication of Pausanias' critique

of the actions and attitudes of prominent Roman personalities

engaged with the Greek world.

This book will be of value to scholars and students working on

Greek and Roman history and on classical archaeology and art.

It also contains material for those interested more generally in

Rome and Greece, in ancient art and religion, and in travel in

the ancient world.
