Greece Under the Romans

By George Finlay

"Greece Under the Romans" provides a detailed historical investigation into the condition of the Greek nation from its conquest by the Romans in 146 B.C. until the extinction of the Roman power in the East. Written by George Finlay, this work meticulously documents the social, economic, and political shifts that occurred as the classical Greek world was absorbed into the Roman administrative machine. Finlay examines the impact of Roman legislation, the burden of taxation, and the internal changes within Greek society that allowed its culture and language to persist despite political subjugation.

The text covers significant milestones, including the rise of Christianity and the eventual transition toward the Byzantine era. Finlay's analysis emphasizes the resilience of Hellenic identity and its profound influence on the Roman Empire itself. This scholarly work is an invaluable resource for understanding the continuity of Greek history and the complex relationship between the conqueror and the conquered. It offers a thorough exploration of how the Greek people navigated centuries of foreign rule while laying the foundations for the medieval Greek state.
