Questions of ethnic and cultural identities are central to the
contemporary understanding of the Roman world. The expansion of
Rome across Italy, the Mediterranean, and beyond entailed
encounters with a wide range of peoples. Many of these had
well-established pre-conquest ethnic identities which can be
compared with Roman perceptions of them. In other cases, the
ethnicity of peoples conquered by Rome has been perceived almost
entirely through the lenses of Roman ethnographic writing and
administrative structures. The formation of such identities, and
the shaping of these identities by Rome, was a vital part of the
process of Roman imperialism. Comparisons across the empire reveal
some similarities in the processes of identity formation during and
after the period of Roman conquest, but they also reveal a
considerable degree of diversity and localisation in interactions
between Romans and others. This volume explores how these practices
of ethnic categorisation formed part of Roman strategies of
control, and how people living in particular places internalised
them and developed their own senses of belonging to an ethnic
community. It includes both regional studies and thematic
approaches by leading scholars in the field.
