The Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires, often studied in isolation or as part of broader examinations of the Hellenistic world, are the subject of thorough exploration in this comprehensive book. It offers a systematic comparison of the roles played by local elites and local populations in the construction, negotiation, and adaptation of political, economic, military, and ideological power within these states. Recognizing the two empires as multi-ethnic entities, the book finds sufficient similarities to make valid comparisons, while also highlighting and elucidating their distinct differences. Special attention is given to regions that underwent successive incorporation into the Ptolemaic and then Seleucid state, providing a broader context for understanding the ruling strategies of both empires.
The book delves into various aspects, including forms of communication through coins, inscriptions, and visual culture; settlement policies and the dynamics between local and immigrant populations; and the various forms of collaboration and resistance exhibited by local elites against immigrant populations and government institutions. By examining these interconnected themes, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of power, identity, and cultural dynamics within the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires, offering valuable insights into the history and society of this influential period.
This comprehensive study provides a valuable contribution to the field of ancient history, offering a nuanced and detailed analysis of the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires. Its systematic approach and attention to various aspects of power and society make it an essential resource for scholars and students alike.
