‎Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0521425182 . Very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; Despite its written literature ancient Greece was in many ways an oral society. This is the first serious attempt to study the implications of this view. Dr Thomas stresses the coexistence of literacy and oral tradition in Greece and examines their character and interaction. Concentrating on the plentiful evidence from Classical Athens she shows how the use of writing developed only gradually and under the influence of the previous oral communication. Drawing on anthropological discussion the author isolates different types of Athenian oral tradition building up a picture of Athens' traditions about its past and examining why they changed and disappeared. This study provides crucial insights into the methods and achievements of the Greek historians. It also has major implications for the interpretation of ancient literacy. ; Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 321 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback‎

DJ has very minor shelfwear else Fine ; This provocative and often controversial volume examines the notions of ethnicity citizenship and nationhood to determine what constituted cultural identity in the Roman Empire. The contributors draw together the most recent research and use diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from archaeology classical studies and ancient history to challenge our basic assumptions of Romanization and how parts of Europe became incorporated into a Roman culture. Cultural Identity in the Roman Empire breaks new ground arguing that the idea of a unified and easily defined Roman culture is over-simplistic and offers alternative theories and models. ; 205 pages .

In a remarkable work of interpretive history Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria Judaea Arabia and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples religions and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities bringing out the different strands of culture communal identity language and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism early Christianity and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world distilling a vast amount of literary documentary artistic and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East. .
