By way of Introduction – some Rhodian reflections from the age of the High Roman Empire

Authors

  • Peter Fibiger Bang

Abstract

This introduction seeks to reflect on the contributions to this collection and the oeuvre of Vincent Gabrielsen through the prism of Dio Chrysostom’s speech to the Rhodians. The themes move from the moral economy of honour in the city-state, to the formation of a Greek aristocratic identity under Rome, before finally analysing the relationship between empire, taxation and the ancient economy.
