Over forty years have passed since the appearance of Ernst Badian's very influential one might even say canonical -study of Roman Republican imperialism and international relations, Foreign Clientelae"" Although his central thesis has not gone unchallenged it remains a fixture of Republican scholarship -and this despite a sustained attack nearly two decades ago by Erich Gruen. The purpose of this paper will be to revisit and supplement Gruen's critique in order to make the case for a new international amicitia' model of Roman international relations which I suggest can better account for Republican imperial and diplomatic behavior than the foreign clientela model."
