A Companion to the Flavian Age of Imperial Rome

Andrew Zissos

Literary Criticism / Ancient & Classical

A Companion to the Flavian Age of Imperial Rome provides a systematic and comprehensive examination of the political, economic, social, and cultural nuances of the Flavian Age (69–96 CE).

  • Includes contributions from over two dozen Classical Studies scholars organized into six thematic sections
  • Illustrates how economic, social, and cultural forces interacted to create a variety of social worlds within a composite Roman empire
  • Concludes with a series of appendices that provide detailed chronological and demographic information and an extensive glossary of terms
  • Examines the Flavian Age more broadly and inclusively than ever before incorporating coverage of often neglected groups, such as women and non-Romans within the Empire

Andrew Zissos is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed articles on Latin epic, editor of a commentary on Book 1 of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica (2008), and co-editor, with Ingo Gildenhard, of Transformative Change in Western Thought: A History of Metamorphosis from Homer to Hollywood (2013).
