The chapters in this volume are holistic in scope, with special
emphasis on Roman imperial relations with the people of Achaea and
their conceptualizations of their past. Material culture,
monumental and domestic spaces, and artistic representations are
discussed, as well as the literary output of individuals like
Plutarch, Herodes Atticus, Aelius Aristides, and others. The debate
over Roman influence in various Hellenic cities and the
significance of collective historical nostalgia also feature in
this volume, as does the utilization of Achaea's past in the Roman
present within the wider empire. .
Alexander the Great's campaigns in the East brought the Greek and
Eastern worlds in closer contact than was possible in previous
centuries. While Greeks and non-Greeks had lived alongside each
other for centuries before Alexander's conquest of the East, it was
during the Hellenistic period that a more direct interaction of
cultures occurred. The material evidence from the lands that formed
part of Alexander's empire, in combination with contemporary
theoretical approaches, can hopefully lead to attempts to answer
why specific borrowings occurred as well as how such borrowings are
interpreted by contemporary scholars. This volume is a direct
result of the broader cross-cultural research interests of the
editors.
