Abstract
Abstract The introduction outlines the book and analyses previous historiography and perspective regarding senatorial relationships and Roman politics. This book offers a new way of understanding elite relationships, based upon face-to-face communication and the circulation of information through personal oral contact between members of the elite and their entourage. Roman politics, based upon ever-changing and short-lived alliances established over a particular issue, were constructed through the constant transmission and circulation of political information. For the proper functioning of the system, Roman senators had to be constantly informed about their peers’ opinions and intentions.
