520    "In this highly-illustrated book, Mary T. Boatwright 
       examines five of the peoples incorporated into the Roman 
       world from the Republican through the Imperial periods: 
       northerners, Greeks, Egyptians, Jews, and Christians. She 
       explores over time the tension between assimilation and 
       distinctiveness in the Roman world, as well as the changes
       effected in Rome by its multicultural nature. Underlining 
       the fundamental importance of diversity in Rome's self-
       identity, the book explores Roman tolerance of difference 
       and community as the Romans expanded and consolidated 
       their power and incorporated other peoples into their 
       empire. The peoples of the Roman world provides an 
       accessible account of Rome's social, cultural, religious, 
       and political history, exploring the rich literary, 
       documentary, and visual evidence for these peoples and 
       Rome's reactions to them"--Provided by publisher
