The University of Chicago Press, 2019. 618 pp.	2021	4	.pdf	application/pdf	998	42	48	Hell’s survey is understandably fragmentary in investigating the longue durée of neo- Roman mimesis in Western Europe, yet her overarching model of neo-Roman mimesis will be of interest to anyone studying empire building. Beginning with how Roman intellectuals themselves envisioned their empire, Hell then traces strands of continuity in neo-Roman mimesis in the context of the Holy Roman Empire’s conquests, British naval expansion, France under Napoleon, and the rise of Germany’s Kaiserreich in the late 19th century, concluding with the Nazi racial empire and its aftermath.	cache/fogs-4274.pdf	txt/fogs-4274.txt
