Description
Rhodes in the Hellenistic Age by Richard M. Berthold provides a comprehensive account of the island's history from its foundation as a republic in the fifth century BC to its eventual alliance with Rome in the second century AD. This detailed study explores Rhodes' foreign affairs, tracing the principles and reasons behind its foreign policy decisions during a period marked by significant turmoil. The author argues that Rhodes achieved economic and political success by pursuing a course of studied neutrality, but ultimately lost independence when it was forced to support Rome. Berthold's analysis sheds light on the complex events that shaped Rhodes' history, revealing the factors that led to its transformation from a major Mediterranean power into an ally of the Roman Empire.
