In this book, Louise Revell examines questions of Roman imperialism
and Roman ethnic identity and explores Roman imperialism as a lived
experience based around the paradox of similarity and difference.
Her case studies of public architecture in several urban settings
provides an understanding of the ways in which urbanism, the
emperor and religion were part of the daily encounters of the
peoples in these communities. Revell applies the ideas of agency
and practice in her examination of the structures that held the
empire together and how they were implicated within repeated daily
activities. Rather than offering a homogenized "ideal type"
description of Roman cultural identity, she uses these structures
as a way to understand how these encounters differed between
communities and within communities, thus producing a more nuanced
interpretation of what it was to be Roman. Bringing an innovative
approach to the problem of Romanization, Revell breaks from
traditional models and cuts across a number of entrenched debates
such as arguments about the imposition of Roman culture or
resistance to Roman rule.
