This book examines the development of a Greek city, Ephesus, during the period of transformations that correspond to the Late Hellenistic period and the beginning of the Principate. The years between 133 BC and 48 AD saw the intrusion of Rome into Asia Minor, the acceptance by the Greeks of Romano-Italic domination, and the entry of Italian immigrants into the civic subdivisions of a city that had in the meantime become a provincial capital. It is therefore a story of cross-integration, at the intersection of the creation of a "global" empire and successful provincialization. The book also questions the place of Rome in a large Greek port city open to outside influences and the integration of immigrants into the local city. A Greek city thus became the city in Asia Minor in which the influence and presence of Rome were most visible: institutions and urban planning evolved to reflect this new reality in local political life, religious practices, and buildings. Ephesus emerged permanently transformed.
