The Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires are usually studied separately,
or else included in broader examinations of the Hellenistic world.
This book provides a systematic comparison of the roles of local
elites and local populations in the construction, negotiation, and
adaptation of political, economic, military and ideological power
within these states in formation. The two states, conceived as
multi-ethnic empires, are sufficiently similar to make comparisons
valid, while the process of comparison highlights and better
explains differences. Regions that were successively incorporated
into the Ptolemaic and then Seleucid state receive particular
attention, and are understood within the broader picture of the
ruling strategies of both empires. The book focusses on forms of
communication through coins, inscriptions and visual culture;
settlement policies and the relationship between local and
immigrant populations; and the forms of collaboration with and
resistance of local elites against immigrant populations and
government institutions.
