With the exception of Sicily, the islands of the Mediterranean are only touched upon in passing in modern studies of the Roman Empire. This book, aimed at a wide readership, fills this gap by examining, on the basis of the sources, how the islands of the Mediterranean came to the Romans’ attention and what became of them within the Roman Empire.
Abgesehen von Sizilien werden die Inseln des Mittelmeeres werden in modernen Abhandlungen über das Römische Reich nur am Rande gestreift. Dieses an ein breites Publikum gerichtete Buch schließt diese Lücke, indem es anhand der Quellen untersucht, wie die Inseln des Mittelmeers in das Blickfeld der Römer gerieten und wie es ihnen im Imperium Romanum bis zum Jahr 554, in dem Kaiser Justinian I den weströmischen Kaiserhof abschaffte, erging. Chronologisch naheliegend werden zunächst die Inseln im Westen, dann die im Osten des Mittelmeers betrachtet. Dabei entsteht auch ein eindrückliches Bild der – selten friedlichen – römischen Expansion und der – bisweilen erschreckende Ausmaße annehmenden Ausbeutung – der Inseln.
Günter Aumann (born in 1952) was Professor of Geometry/Computer Geometry at the University of Karlsruhe (TH), now the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, for over 20 years. In addition to modern developments, he was also interested in<br/>the ancient roots of geometry, which was reflected in several book publications. This relationship with antiquity was deepened by his decades-long interest in Roman coins, which has intensified since his retirement. This passion was triggered in 1972 by the acquisition of a denarius of Antoninus Pius.
