Antiquity, as the term has been understood and used over the
centuries by scholars, political and religious figures, and
ordinary citizens, is far from a single, monolithic concept. Rather
than reflecting a stable, shared understanding about the past and
its meaning, the idea of antiquity is instead varying and multiple,
taking on different meanings and deployed to different effects
depending on the context in which it is being considered. In this
volume, historians from a wide range of specialties offer a
comparative assessment of the multiple perceptions of antiquity
that have shaped modern European cultures and national identities,
deploying a new methodological approach, "histoire croisee," which
considers these questions in light of the development of cultural
diversity across Europe.
