A timely and academically-significant contribution to scholarship
on community, identity, and globalization in the Roman and
Hellenistic worlds Community and Identity at the Edges of the
Classical World examines the construction of personal and communal
identities in the ancient world, exploring how globalism,
multi-culturalism, and other macro events influenced micro
identities throughout the Hellenistic and Roman empires. This
innovative volume discusses where contact and the sharing of ideas
was occurring in the time period, and applies modern theories based
on networks and communication to historical and archaeological
data. A new generation of international scholars challenge
traditional views of Classical history and offer original
perspectives on the impact globalizing trends had on localized
areas--insights that resonate with similar issues today. This
singular resource presents a broad, multi-national view rarely
found in western collected volumes, including Serbian, Macedonian,
and Russian scholarship on the Roman Empire, as well as on Roman
and Hellenistic archaeological sites in Eastern Europe. Topics
include Egyptian identity in the Hellenistic world, cultural
identity in Roman Greece, Romanization in Slovenia, Balkan Latin,
the provincial organization of cults in Roman Britain, and Soviet
studies of Roman Empire and imperialism. Serving as a synthesis of
contemporary scholarship on the wider topic of identity and
community, this volume: Provides an expansive materialist approach
to the topic of globalization in the Roman world Examines ethnicity
in the Roman empire from the viewpoint of minority populations
Offers several views of metascholarship, a growing sub-discipline
that compares ancient material to modern scholarship Covers a range
of themes, time periods, and geographic areas not included in most
western publications Community and Identity at the Edges of the
Classical World is a valuable resource for academics, researchers,
and graduate students examining identity and ethnicity in the
ancient world, as well as for those working in multiple fields of
study, from Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman historians, to the
study of ethnicity, identity, and globalizing trends in time.
