Bringing together philologists, historians, and archaeologists,
Rome, Empire of Plunder bridges disciplinary divides in pursuit of
an interdisciplinary understanding of Roman cultural appropriation
- approached not as a set of distinct practices but as a
hydra-headed phenomenon through which Rome made and remade itself,
as a Republic and as an Empire, on Italian soil and abroad. The
studies gathered in this volume range from the literary thefts of
the first Latin comic poets to the grand-scale spoliation of
Egyptian obelisks by a succession of emperors, and from Hispania to
Pergamon to Qasr Ibrim. Applying a range of theoretical
perspectives on cultural appropriation, contributors probe the
violent interactions and chance contingencies that sent cargo of
all sorts into circulation around the Roman Mediterranean, causing
recurrent distortions in their individual and aggregate meanings.
The result is an innovative and nuanced investigation of Roman
cultural appropriation and imperial power.
