Abstract

Alliance treaties passed by Rome with the small States of the Hellenistic World during the second century BC should not be seen as mere signs of goodwill toward faithful but insignificant allies. The Romans themselves were careful to observe the procedure when passing or revoking the treaties, and the military clauses were taken seriously by the contracting parties. During the 160’ s, the Romans made treaties with small communities in Thrace, in Caria-Lycia and with the Jews to check their rivals’ territorial ambitions (Pergamon, Rhodes and the Seleucid Kingdom).
