- Focuses on the harsh nature of interactions among states under conditions of anarchy while examining the conduct of both Rome and Greek states during the period, and focuses on what the concepts of modern political science can tell us about ancient international relations
- Includes detailed discussion of the crisis that convulsed the Greek world in the last decade of the third century BC
- Provides a balanced portrait of Roman militarism and imperialism in the Hellenistic world
