The Culture of Animals in Antiquity provides students and
researchers with well-chosen and clearly presented ancient sources
in translation, some well-known, others undoubtedly unfamiliar, but
all central to a key area of study in ancient history: the part
played by animals in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. It
brings new ideas to bear on the wealth of evidence - literary,
historical and archaeological - which we possess for the
experiences and roles of animals in the ancient world. Offering a
broad picture of ancient cultures in the Mediterranean as part of a
wider ecosystem, the volume is on an ambitious scale. It covers a
broad span of time, from the sacred animals of dynastic Egypt to
the imagery of the lamb in early Christianity, and of region, from
the fallow deer introduced and bred in Roman Britain to the Asiatic
lioness and her cubs brought as a gift by the Elamites to the Great
King of Persia. This sourcebook is essential for anyone wishing to
understand the role of animals in the ancient world and support
learning for one of the fastest growing disciplines in Classics.
