Περίληψη:	The indifference of Rome and the woeful consequences of the civil wars drove the cities of the Peloponnese to economic bankruptcy and social despair during the Republican period (146-31 B.C.). Augustus attempted to overturn this situation with emergency administrative measures that ushered in radical changes to the political geography, the spatial distribution of the population and of wealth, the existing social hierarchy and the relationship between town and country. Roman interventions in the political and social spheres, which were supported by the ruling elites of the cities, set the foundations for a new political and economic course, which started to bear fruit during the Flavian period. The Romans did not intervene in the religious sphere and left the cities free to organise their traditional religious affairs, which underwent a revival in the 2nd c. A.D. They did, however encourage an emperor worship that was systematically associated with Greek traditional divinities at cult places and festivals. The Romanisation of the upper classes in particular was especially apparent in names, architecture and construction techniques, although its effects on institutions, religion and other manifestations of social life were more subtle. The accumulation of public and private wealth, peaking in the 2nd c. A.D., meant increasing investment and construction work that gave many cities a monumental appearance. This system started to crumble from the mid-3rd c. A.D., and the crisis affected not only the cities’ political and economic spheres, but also the values upon which the new religion was to invest.
