"This book examines the impact of the Roman cultural revolution under Augustus on
the Roman province of Greece. It argues that the transformation of Roman Greece into
a classicizing 'museum' was a specific response of the provincial Greek elites to
the cultural politics of the Roman imperial monarchy. Against a background of Roman
debates about Greek culture and Roman decadence, Augustus promoted the ideal of a
Roman debt to a 'classical' Greece rooted in Europe and morally opposed to a stereotyped
Asia. In Greece the regime signalled its admiration for Athens, Sparta, Olympia and
Plataea as symbols of these past Greek glories. Cued by the Augustan monarchy, provincial-Greek
notables expressed their Roman orientation by competitive cultural work (revival of
ritual; restoration of buildings) aimed at further emphasising Greece's 'classical'
legacy. Reprised by Hadrian, the Augustan construction of 'classical' Greece helped
to promote the archaism typifying Greek culture under the principate"--
