| Summary: | This paper is concerned with the relationship
between Greek culture and Roman politics.
My aim is twofold. First, I want to challenge
the traditional point of view that held a
Roman Ruling Power and a Hellenic
Civilizing Power. In my opinion, Greek
paideia should be considered as a basic
component of the alliances between the
Roman oligarchy and the Greek civic elites
and, as a result of that, as an essential political
tool for the Roman Empire. On the other hand,
the Roman politicians and the Greek civic
aristocracies sparked a debate on the
definition of this new Greek culture for the
Roman empire. In the end, a paideia based on
the classic tradition and on the civic life
succeeded. |
