Abstract

The paper argues that the world-historical Roman decision to intervene in the geopolitical crisis that was convulsing the Greek East in winter 201/200 B.C. had many determinants, but one overlooked determinant was a Greco-Roman culture that in general looked upon intervention by the strong upon behalf of the "unjustly treated" as a good thing, as a sign not merely of power but actually of virtue.
