Download or read book Greeks and Barbarians written by Kostas Vlassopoulos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ambitious synthesis of the social, economic, political and cultural interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in the Mediterranean world during the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. Instead of traditional and static distinctions between Greeks and Others, Professor Vlassopoulos explores the diversity of interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in four parallel but interconnected worlds: the world of networks, the world of apoikiai ('colonies'), the Panhellenic world and the world of empires. These diverse interactions set into motion processes of globalisation; but the emergence of a shared material and cultural koine across the Mediterranean was accompanied by the diverse ways in which Greek and non-Greek cultures adopted and adapted elements of this global koine. The book explores the paradoxical role of Greek culture in the processes of ancient globalisation, as well as the peculiar way in which Greek culture was shaped by its interaction with non-Greek cultures.

Download or read book Greek Colonists and Native Populations written by Jean-Paul Descœudres and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek colonization movement of the Early Iron Age, which in many ways heralded the expansion of Western civilization all over the world, has always exerted a special fascination for those interested in ancient cultures. This collection of essays by scholars from fifteen countries examines the interrelation between colonizers and the colonized, and the process that led ancient Greek colonies to the emergence of new cultural forms and concepts. Stressing the ways archaeology contributes to our understanding of colonization movements, both in ancient and modern times, the book also presents some fascinating comparative material on Australia's own colonization experience since 1788.

Download or read book Making the Middle Republic written by Seth Bernard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the fourth and third centuries BCE, Roman expansion into Italy reshaped the peninsula's Archaic societies and prompted new political relationships, new economic practices, and new sociocultural structures. Rural landscapes and urban spaces throughout Latium saw intensified use amidst novel principles of land management, animal husbandry, and architectural design. This book offers fresh perspectives on these transformations by embracing a wide range of approaches to Middle Republican history. Chapters take up topics and methods ranging from fiscal sociology, bioarchaeology, comparative slaveries, field survey, art and architectural history, numismatics, elite mobility, and beyond. An emphasis is placed on how developments in this period reshaped not only Rome, but also other Latin and Italian societies in complex and often multilinear ways. The volume promotes the Middle Republic as a period whose full dynamism is best appreciated at the intersection of diverse lines of inquiry.
