Recent studies have highlighted the diversity, complexity, and
plurality of identities in the ancient world. At the same time,
scholars have acknowledged the dynamic role of material culture,
not simply in reflecting those identities but their role in
creating and transforming them. This volume explores and compares
two influential approaches to the study of social and cultural
identities, the model of globalization and theories of hybrid
cultural development. In a series of case studies, an international
team of archaeologists and art historians considers how various
aspects of material culture can be used to explore complex global
and local identity structures across the geographical and
chronological span of antiquity. The essays examine the
civilizations of the Greeks, Romans, Etruscans, Persians,
Phoenicians, and Celts. Reflecting on the current state of our
understanding of cultural interaction and antiquity, they also
dwell on contemporary thoughts of identity, cultural globalization,
and resistance that shape and are shaped by academic discourses on
the cultural empires of Greece and Rome.
