Until this book, few studies have provided a full-length assessment of Hellenistic Rhodes as a city-state with political power and a prosperous trade center. With recent studies in mind, which have provided a better understanding of Rhodian history, Garbrielsen expands on Rhodes's power structure, naval organization, social institutions, and economy, concluding that the powerful aristocracy was an important national institution vital to the political, military, and commercial infrastructure, and other powers in the Hellenistic world.
