Popular Culture in the Ancient World is the first book to provide
an interdisciplinary study of the subject. Traditionally neglected
by classical scholars, popular culture provides a new window
through which we can view the ancient world. An international group
of scholars tackles a fascinating range of subjects and objects -
from dice oracles to dressing up, from toys to theological
speculation. Diverse comparative and theoretical approaches are
used alongside many different ancient sources to provide a
wide-ranging and rigorous approach to ancient popular culture.
After a substantive introduction, the book moves from classical
Greece through the Roman Empire to end in the late antique world.
It enriches our understanding of the ancient world as well as our
conception of the legacy of the ancient world in our own.
