Colonial Geopolitics and Local Cultures in the Hellenistic and Roman East (3rd century BC – 3rd century AD) explores the intricate interplay between colonialism and local cultures during the Hellenistic and Roman periods in the Eastern Mediterranean. Drawing from a panel held during the Celtic Conference in Classics 2014 (Edinburgh, Scotland, June 25-28th, 2014) and incorporating previously presented papers at another panel convened in Mamaia (Romania, September 23-27th, 2012), this collection offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shaped the region during this transformative era.
One of the central concerns of local geopolitics during this period was the distribution of agricultural land to Greek and Roman colonists after it had been seized from the native population. How did the state oversee and administer these colonized territories? What were the precise social, legal, cultural, and political relationships between the natives and the newcomers? Did the language of the colonists dominate the local vernacular language, or did it evolve in unique ways in different regions over centuries?
This collection addresses these critical questions, focusing on the Hellenistic and Roman East. It explores the mutual influences between native and colonial cultures, examining how they interacted, influenced, and transformed each other. The authors shed light on the complex dynamics of power, identity, and cultural exchange that characterized this period, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex tapestry of civilizations that flourished in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The contributions in this collection offer a wealth of information and analysis, drawing from a range of disciplines, including history, archaeology, anthropology, and sociology. They provide a fresh perspective on the complexities of colonialism and its impact on local cultures, challenging traditional narratives and illuminating new avenues for research and understanding.
In conclusion, Colonial Geopolitics and Local Cultures in the Hellenistic and Roman East is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history, culture, and politics of the Eastern Mediterranean. It offers a comprehensive examination of the complex relationships between colonialism and local cultures, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in world history.
