The eight hundred years between the first Roman conquests and the
conquest of Islam saw a rich, constantly shifting blend of
languages and writing systems, legal structures, religious
practices and beliefs in the Near East. While the different ethnic
groups and cultural forms often clashed with each other, adaptation
was as much a characteristic of the region as conflict. This
volume, emphasizing the inscriptions in many languages from the
Near East, brings together mutually informative studies by scholars
in diverse fields. Together, they reveal how the different
languages, peoples and cultures interacted, competed with, tried to
ignore or were influenced by each other, and how their
relationships evolved over time. It will be of great value to those
interested in Greek and Roman history, Jewish history and Near
Eastern studies.
