"The author collects rather than analyzes data. Such books last. A careful index locorum allows easy access to specific texts. The welcome book will ease study of the subject rather than changing it." -- Religious Studies Review"This monograph will be essential for anyone interested in the institution of Roman patronage and its history throughout the Roman Empire, not only from the point of view of patrons but also of clients, both individual and collective."--New England Classical Journal, This book will be of interest to teachers and students who wish to pursue the wider context of Roman patronage.

Synopsis
The rise and fall of city patrons in the Greek East is linked to the fundamental changes that took place during the fall of the Republic and the transition to the Principate. This discursive treatment of the origins, nature, and decline of this type of patronage, and its place in Roman practice as a whole, is supplemented by a reference catalogue of Roman patrons of Greek communities., Patronage has long been an important topic of interest to ancient historians. It remains unclear what patronage entailed, however, and how it worked. Is it a universal phenomenon embracing all, or most, relationships between unequals? Or is it an especially Roman practice? In previous discussions of patronage, one crucial body of evidence has been under-exploited: inscriptions from the Greek East that borrow the Latin term 'patron' and use it to honour their Roman officials. The fact that the Greeks borrow the term patron suggests that there was something uniquely Roman about the patron-client relationship. Moreover, this epigraphic evidence implies that patronage was not only a part of Rome's history, but had a history of its own. The rise and fall of city patrons in the Greek East is linked to the fundamental changes that took place during the fall of the Republic and the transition to the Principate. Senatorial patrons appear in the Greek inscriptions of the Roman province of Asia towards the end of the second century BC and are widely attested in the region and elsewhere for the following century. In the early principate, however, they become less common and soon more or less disappear. Eilers's discursive treatment of the origins, nature, and decline of this type of patronage, and its place in Roman practice as a whole, is supplemented by a reference catalogue of Roman patrons of Greek communities., Patronage has been an important topic of interest to ancient historians, but it remains unclear what patronage entailed and how it worked. An examination of inscriptions from the Greek East, however, implies that the practice whereby Romans became patrons of Greek cities was not only a part of Rome's history, but had a history of its own. Its rise and fall in the Greek East is linked to the last period of the Republic and the transition to the Principate.

    First of all, these towels are SO beautiful! Entirely more beautiful than I had expected. They are also very soft and fluffy and sturdy and just perfect!!!!!!! These will be used only for looks and decoration hanging on my stove. Button on towels are hard to find. The seller was SO sweet and kind and tucked in some delicious smelling soap and lotion as well! An extra thank you for that too, I LOVE it!!! This seller went above and beyond, and was very kind. Outstanding. Overall, awesome!!
