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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 202 B.C. - 476 A.D.|2fast 650 0 History, Ancient|xHistoriography|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009126428 650 0 Imperialism|xHistoriography|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008123079|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 7 History, Ancient|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/958355 650 7 Imperialism|xHistoriography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/968134 651 0 China|xHistory|yHan dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024043|vCongresses. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 651 0 Rome|xHistory|yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85115128|vCongresses. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Mutschler, Fritz-Heiner.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n89625415 700 1 Mittag, Achim,|d1958-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2001032583 776 08 |iPrint version:|tConceiving the empire.|dOxford : Oxford University Press, ©2008|z9780199214648|z0199214646 |w(OCoLC)234296865 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=259510|zOnline eBook.
