This book presents new insights into the dynamics of the relationship between governors and provincial subjects in the Later Roman Empire, with a focus on the provincial perspective. Based on literary, legal, epigraphic and artistic materials the author deals with questions such as how provincials communicated their needs to governors, how they expressed both their favorable and critical opinions of governors’ behavior, and how they rewarded ‘good’ governors. Provincial expectations, a continuous dialogue, interdependence, reciprocity, and ceremonial routine play key roles in this study that not only leads to a better understanding of Late Roman provincial administration, but also of the successful functioning of an empire as large as that of Rome.

In the first two centuries AD, the eastern Roman provinces experienced a proliferation of elite public generosity unmatched in their previous or later history. In this study, Arjan Zuiderhoek attempts to answer the question why this should have been so. Focusing on Roman Asia Minor, he argues that the surge in elite public giving was not caused by the weak economic and financial position of the provincial cities, as has often been maintained, but by social and political developments and tensions within the Greek cities created by their integration into the Roman imperial system. As disparities of wealth and power within imperial polis society continued to widen, the exchange of gifts for honours between elite and non-elite citizens proved an excellent political mechanism for deflecting social tensions away from open conflicts towards communal celebrations of shared citizenship and the legitimation of power in the cities.

Excerpt from The Roman System of Provincial Administration: To the Accession of Constantine the Great I have given a list of my chief of authorities below. But I should more especially acknowledge my obligations to Marquardt and Preuss. The extent to which I have used Marquardt in the chapter on Taxation, and Preuss in the chapter on the Later Empire, has been very considerable. In the other parts of the Essay I have relied to a larger extent on my own independent reading; but I have felt throughout the disadvantage of an imperfect knowledge of the modern literature on the subject. In England I know of no comprehensive book devoted to it, but in France and Germany it has long aroused the energies of a host of enthusiastic workers. In this field the French have names which command as great respect as the most learned among the Germans. If, in particular, I have not been able to use the great work of M. Waddington, Les Fastes des Provinces Asiatiques, it is not owing to want of will, but to the limitations of time which the conditions under which this Essay must be written impose. In printing this Essay, I have not been able to make alterations of much moment. I have, however, revised it throughout, and hope that no errors of consequence have escaped me.
