This volume brings together scholars working on the multifaceted
and changing dimensions of citizenship in the ancient
Mediterranean, from the second millennium BCE to the first
millennium CE, adopting a multidisciplinary and comparative
perspective. The chapters in this volume cover numerous periods and
regions - from the Ancient Near East, through the Greek and
Hellenistic worlds and pre-Roman North Africa, to the Roman empire
and its continuations, and with excursuses to modernity. The
contributors to this volume adopt various contemporary theories,
demonstrating the manifold meanings and ways of defining the
concept and practices of citizenship and belonging in ancient
societies and, in turn, of non-citizenship and non-belonging.
Whether citizenship was defined by territorial belonging or blood
descent; by privileged or exclusive access to resources or
participation in communal decision-making; by a sense of group
belonging - such identifications were also open to discursive
redefinitions and manipulation. Citizenship and belonging, as well
as non-citizenship and non-belonging, had many shades and degrees;
citizenship could be bought or faked, or even deprived. By casting
light on different areas of the Mediterranean over the course of
antiquity, this volume seeks to explore this multi-layered notion
of citizenship and contribute to an on-going and relevant
discourse. Citizenship in Antiquity offers a wide-ranging,
comprehensive collection suitable for students and scholars of
citizenship, politics, and society in the ancient Mediterranean
world, as well as those working on citizenship throughout history
interested in taking a comparative approach.
