Focusing on the interplay between Greek identity and Roman influence, this book delves into the cultural and political dynamics of the Greek world during the second sophistic. It argues that Greekness was prioritized over loyalty to Rome, serving as a reaction to imperial power. Through an analysis of major authors from this era, the text highlights how their works reinforce the significance of Hellenism, challenging the notion of harmonious coexistence between Greek and Roman cultures.
