Abstract
This paper seeks to make a case for expanding the comparative study of premodern empires to include both Old World and New World cases. It explores the utility of concepts such as “empire” and “city-state” for our understanding of ancient Roman and Precolumbian Aztec history. This paper was prepared for the publication of the conference "Altera Roma: art and empire from the Aztecs to New Spain" held at the Getty Villa in Malibu, CA, in May 2010.
