Abstract
Though the development of public diplomacy and the concept and use of “soft power” in conflicts between states corresponds to a recent period, its application dates back to olden times, to even before the history of diplomacy. Soft power is a mode of power to generate the admiration of different countries and people, and if described as a power directed toward attracting other people, examples can go as far back as to the concept of creating a state. Cull has given examples on the usage of soft power from Antiquity and the Roman period in his book.1
