Summary: This is a book about two empires--ancient Rome and the United States--and what happens to historical time when we think about them together. Ranging from the present day to the late eighteenth century, it tracks how the political and cultural imagination turned Roman antiquity into an object of mutual recognition--an analogy--for the imperial US state, sometimes for the sake of its justification and perpetuation, and sometimes as a tool of critique and resistance.
