Arthur Eckstein's Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War and the Rise of Rome.
Quote:This ground-breaking study is the first to employ modern international relations theory to place Roman militarism and expansion of power within the broader Mediterranean context of interstate anarchy. Arthur M. Eckstein challenges claims that Rome was an exceptionally warlike and aggressive state—not merely in modern but in ancient terms—by arguing that intense militarism and aggressiveness were common among all Mediterranean polities from ca 750 B.C. onwards. The University of California Press offers the first chapter for free as a teaser. Note that this is, basically, a response to Harris' War and Imperialism in Ancient Rome. Many people won't agree with Eckstein.
