Our conception of the culture and values of the ancient Greco-Roman
world is largely based on texts and material evidence left behind
by a small and atypical group of city-dwellers. The people of the
deep Mediterranean countryside seldom appear in the historical
record from antiquity, and almost never as historical actors. This
book is the first extended historical ethnography of an ancient
village society, based on an extraordinarily rich body of funerary
and propitiatory inscriptions from a remote upland region of Roman
Asia Minor. Rural kinship structures and household forms are
analysed in detail, as are the region's demography, religious life,
gender relations, class structure, normative standards and values.
Roman north-east Lydia is perhaps the only non-urban society in the
Greco-Roman world whose culture can be described at so fine-grained
a level of detail: a world of tight-knit families, egalitarian
values, hard agricultural labour, village solidarity, honour, piety
and love.
