Lucian and His Roman Voices examines cultural exchanges, political
propaganda, and religious conflicts in the Early Roman Empire
through the eyes of Lucian, his contemporary Roman authors, and
Christian Apologists. Offering a multi-faceted analysis of the
Lucianic corpus, this book explores how Lucian, a Syrian who wrote
in Greek and who became a Roman citizen, was affected by the
socio-political climate of his time, reacted to it, and how he
'corresponded' with the Roman intelligentsia. In the process, this
unique volume raises questions such as: What did the title 'Roman
citizen' mean to native Romans and to others? How were language and
literature politicized, and how did they become a means of social
propaganda? This study reveals Lucian's recondite historical and
authorial personas and the ways in which his literary activity
portrayed second-century reality from the perspectives of the
Romans, Greeks, pagans, Christians, and citizens of the Roman
Empire
