Dynamic Epigraphy
This volume, with origins in a panel at the 2018 Celtic Conference in Classics, presents creative new approaches to epigraphic material, in an attempt to 'shake up' how we deal with inscriptions. Broad themes include the embodied experience of epigraphy, the unique capacities of epigraphic language as a genre, the visuality of inscriptions and the interplay of inscriptions with literary texts. Although each chapter focuses on specific objects and epigraphic landscapes, ranging from Republican Rome to early modern Scotland, the emphasis here is on using these case studies not as an end in themselves, but as a means of exploring broader methodological and theoretical issues to do with how we u...
Understanding Integration in the Roman World
Integration is a buzzword in the 21st century. However, academics still do not agree on its meaning and, above all, on its consequences. This book offers numerous examples showing that the inhabitants of the Roman Mediterranean were “integrated”, i.e. were aware of the existence of a common framework of coexistence, without this necessarily resulting in a process of cultural convergence. For instance, the Spanish poet Martial explicitly refused to be considered the brother of the Greek Charmenion (10.65): paradoxically, while reaffirming their differences, his satirical epigram confirms the existence of a common frame of reference that encompassed them both. Understanding integration in the Roman world requires paying attention to the complex and varied responses to diversity in Roman times.
Law and Power
In the Roman world, landscapes became legal and institutional constructions, being the core of social, political, religious, and economic life. The Romans developed ambitious urban transformations, seeking to equate civic monumentality and legal status. The built environment becomes the axis of the legal, administrative, sacred, and economic system and the main element of dissemination of imperial ideology. This volume follows the modern trend of a multifaceted, composite, multi-layered Roman world, but at the same time reduces its complexity. It views ‘Roman’ not only in the sense of power politics, but also in a cultural context. It highlights ‘landscapes’ and puts into the shadow important administrative and legal structures, i.e., individuals viz. local and imperial members of the elites living in cities, which ran the Roman world.
From Document to History
In From Document to History: Epigraphic Insights into the Greco-Roman World, editors Carlos Noreña and Nikolaos Papazarkadas gather together an exciting set of original studies on Greek and Roman epigraphy, first presented at the Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (Berkeley 2016). Chapters range chronologically from the sixth century BCE to the fifth century CE, and geographically from Egypt and Asia Minor to the west European continent and British isles. Key themes include Greek and Roman epigraphies of time, space, and public display, with texts featuring individuals and social groups ranging from Roman emperors, imperial elites, and artists to gladiators, immigrants, laborers, and slaves. Several papers highlight the new technologies that are transforming our understanding of ancient inscriptions, and a number of major new texts are published here for the first time.
Lateres plumbei hispani
L’Espagne romaine fut la principale région productrice et exportatrice de plomb dans une grande partie de la Méditerranée occidentale entre la fin de la République (IIe-Ier s. av. J.-C.) et le Ier siècle apr. J.-C. La diffusion de ce métal est connue par les très nombreux lingots découverts, pour la plupart — et plus spécialement au cours des dernières décennies — dans des épaves sous-marines. Porteurs d’une riche épigraphie, ils constituent une inépuisable source d’information sur l’organisation de l’activité minière dans l’Hispanie et sur le commerce au long cours du plomb qu’elle produisait. Cet ouvrage réunit toute l’épigraphie de ces lingots (marque...

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang2057{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Calibri;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Verdana;}}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sa160\sl252\slmult1\i\f0\fs22 Blame it on the Gender\i0 offers a multidisciplinary approach to gender studies in Antiquity, containing contributions by international scholars on different ancient geographical contexts where gender and gender relations can be studied. From the Iron Age in northern Spain to Roman Late Antiquity, this volume revises our understanding of people\rquote s life in the past. It offers a critical analysis of previous methodological approaches and suggests new techniques. The various contributors discuss gender misconceptions repeated in scholarship over the last few decades and emphasise the need for researchers to consider gender in their own studies.

Name and Identity
This volume analyses the importance of onomastics and its impact on the ancient world (i. e. Greek, Roman, Graeco-Roman, and various indigenous onomastic systems) for the construction of identities, societies, and ways of thinking. It does so from an interdisciplinary perspective, including elements of linguistics, epigraphy, history, Roman law, theatre, anthropology, and archaeology. The volume explores the presence of linguistic calques and semantic transfers in ancient anthroponymy, the use of "speaking" names, the avoidance or circumventing based on the genre, the legal aspects of onomastics structures, and the acculturation processes that defined individual or collective identities through onomastics and naming. "Name and Identity" delves into cases from the Greek Aegean, Pre-Roman and Roman Italy, the wider Roman world, the Iberian Peninsula, and South-Eastern Europe.
