		Levick begins by reminding her readers of the rather underestimated importance of client rulers with a decree from Cyzicus honouring client kings in Thrace (a later inscription of Philopappus on p.100 in section five has almost the feel of British India in its mixed Roman/dynastic references).
		Levick looks at the rise of provincials in Roman officialdom and the impact of Greek intellectuals on Roman society (rightly noting that there is little "Spanish" about Seneca and his family).
		Levick is keen to emphasise the importance of the province's economic impact on Rome and its structural necessity to the Imperial system.

	Claudius by Barbara Levick
		Barbara Levick's 'Claudius' is a good resource to use when falling under the Claudian spell of such works as Graves' 'I, Claudius' and 'Claudius the God', or the 'I, Claudius' BBC production.
		Levick explores some of the intrigues of the Julii Caesares as well as the Claudii Nerones; she explores the history from all angles.
		In Levick's eyes, Claudius is a politician struggling to retain the very basis of his power, his ultimate failure being his inability to command respect in the eyes of his contemporaries or posterity.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.03.19
		One of the most useful tools for the ancient historian is the sourcebook, a collection of primary source passages which serve to capture a particular era or theme.
		Levick's The Government of the Roman Empire: a sourcebook attempted to illustrate the administration of the first two centuries of Roman imperial government as well as the problems it faced which led to the crisis of the third century.
		Levick gives the appearance of being uninterested in the translation of the passages.

		Levick's book is not the last word on her subject.
		Levick eschews the narrative, and spurns a chronological approach to her subject.
		Levick's book reads like a novel while being erudite and well-documented, never boring with unnecessary detail, but constant in its presentation of facts and modern views on a particularly difficult stage of the Roman Empire.

		His reputation in antiquity gained momentum in the medieval and modern era to present a universally acknowledged picture of an emperor who instigated economic advances and improved government which led to the "Golden Age" of the Empire in the second century.
		Barbara Levick outlines how this able individual gained the necessary military experience and political skills that enabled him to stage his successful bid for empire in AD 69 and go on to consolidate his supremacy and that of his dynasty in the decade that followed.
		She explores how Vespasian managed to cope with the military, political and economic problems of his reign as well as the solutions to those problems.

	Claudius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Drawing on recent research, Levick offers a provocative reconsideration of Claudius’s political objectives and activities within the constitutional, political, social, and economic development of Rome.
		Levick has a flair for military narrative and for apposite impressionism.
		His reign was the turning point in the establishment of the permanent monarchy, and Levick is excellent in showing how Claudius worked throughout his reign to secure his position.

		Barbara Levick is formerly a Fellow and Tutor in Literae Humaniores at St. Hilda's College, Oxford.
		Levick is extremely convincing when she suggests that Tiberius was actually proposing that the "senatorial" view of the imperial government should be enforced - that is, with an emperor, but also with the Senate assuming greater responsibility over its own spheres - only Tiberius failed to make himself clear enough.
		Levick's own stated main concern was to analyse the politics behind the often puzzling events in Tiberius's life and reign.

	VQR » Corrupters of Power
		Barbara Levick has given us a balanced report of his reign.
		He was a poor judge: too unpredictable and emotional, but Levick points out that there was a homespun quality to his justice.
		Levick thinks it was the weakness of his position which led him to make his last marriage, to his niece Agrippina, the mother of the future emperor Nero.

		However, I did not feel that Graves was able to account for Claudius' strangest actions in terms of motivation or rational.
		Barbara Levick, Arnoldo Momigliano and Vincent Scramuzza, also dealt with similar concerns regarding Claudius, but I feel they did not address them sufficiently.
		Scramuzza was concerned about approving of Claudius and so dealt with ethical points which would show Claudius in a good light: for example, regarding Claudius' liberal attitudes towards law and legislation.

		Vespasian presents a comprehensive, engaging and lavishly illustrated biography of an emperor who was credited with unsurpassed achievement and lauded as the bestower of peace and confidence within the empire.
		We can regret that she did not learn her craft in an era when some historians recognize the value of writing for a wider audience than the tiny circle of their fellow cognoscenti, but we do her wrong if we fail to credit her with writing a work that is the first of its kind.
