The International Network Impact of Empire was founded at Nijmegen, July 2, 1999. It brings together some 200 ancient historians, classical philologists, archaeologists and specialists in Roman law from all over the world. What binds them – besides the often long-lasting ties of friendship and a heartfelt enthusiasm for exchanging knowledge about the ancient world - are their research interests in the sheer existence of the Roman Empire and the consequences of its actions in the regions it dominated (i.e. a large part of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East).
Publications
The publications in the series reflect the aims and scope of the network and focus on the consequences of the actions and sheer existence of the Roman Empire in the wide, culturally heterogeneous region it dominated (i.e. a large part of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East).
Organisation
The network's objectives are taken care of by two organisational constructions; the management team and the academic board.
