Roman Imperialism (Debates and Documents in Ancient History) by Andrew Erskine

A succinct and enlightening summary of the evidence and scholarship on the causes and manifestations of Roman imperialism. Erskine does not make too many of his own conclusions here, but those he does make are well thought-out and well-supported. The book also contains a significant selection of primary source extracts, extensively referenced throughout the main text.
