The first full length volume to approach the premodern
Mediterranean from a fully interdisciplinary perspective, this
collection defines the Mediterranean as a coherent region with
distinct patterns of social, political, and cultural exchange. The
essays explore the production, modification, and circulation of
identities based on religion, ethnicity, profession, gender, and
status as free or slave within three distinctive Mediterranean
geographies: islands, entrepots and empires. Individual essays
explore such topics as interreligious conflict and accommodation;
immigration and diaspora; polylingualism; classical imitation and
canon formation; traffic in sacred objects; Mediterranean slavery;
and the dream of a reintegrated Roman empire. Integrating
environmental, social, political, religious, literary, artistic,
and linguistic concerns, this collection offers a new model for
approaching a distinct geographical region as a unique site of
cultural and social exchange.
