This 2010 volume explores the proposition that the absorption of
the Greek world into the Roman empire created a new emphasis upon
local identities, much as globalisation in the modern world has
done. Localism became the focal point for complex debates: in some
cases, it was complementary with imperial objectives, but in others
tension can be discerned. The volume as a whole seeks to add
texture and nuance to the existing literature on Greek identity,
which has tended in recent years to emphasise the umbrella category
of the Greek, to the detriment of specific polis and regional
identities. It also contributes to the growing literature on the
Romanisation of provinces, by emphasising the dialogue between a
region's self-identification as a distinct space and its
self-awareness as a component of the centrally-governed empire.
