About this person

Eckstein's main area of focus is Roman imperial expansion; one reviewer described him as "one of the world’s foremost scholars on Roman imperialism in the middle republican period." In his 2006 book Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War, and the Rise of Rome he applies a realist theoretical framework to the ancient Mediterranean, arguing that while the Roman Empire behaved aggressively, it was not exceptional when compared to its neighbors.
