520    The essays in Conceiving the Empire explore the mental 
       images, ideas, and symbolical representations of 'empire' 
       which developed in the two most powerful political 
       entities of antiquity: China and Rome. While the central 
       focus is on historiography, other related fields are also 
       explored: geography and cartography, epigraphy, art and 
       architecture, and, more generally, political thought and 
       the history of ideas. Written by a collaborative team of 
       experts in Sinology and Classical Studies, the volume 
       focuses the attention of the emerging discipline of East-
       West cross-cultural studies on an essential feature of the
       ancient Mediterranean and Chinese worlds: the emergence of
       'empire' and the enduring influence of the 'imperial' 
       order.
