The Ruling Power is a scholarly study of the Roman Empire during the second century AD, focusing on the orations of Aelius Aristides. Written by James H. Oliver, the book explores the political, social, and cultural dynamics of this period through the lens of Aristides' speeches. The author analyzes the rhetorical strategies and themes employed by Aristides to convey his views on the Roman Empire, its rulers, and its people. The book also examines the historical context of Aristides' orations, including the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian, and Antoninus Pius, as well as the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the time. The Ruling Power is an important contribution to the study of Roman history and rhetoric, providing valuable insights into the politics and culture of this fascinating period.Transactions Of The American Philosophical Society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
