Book Synopsis The Material Dynamics of Festivals in the Graeco-Roman East by : Zahra Newby
Download or read book The Material Dynamics of Festivals in the Graeco-Roman East written by Zahra Newby and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Material Dynamics of Festivals in the Graeco-Roman East explores the various ways in which the experience of civic festivals in the Graeco-Roman East was created and framed by material culture. By the second and third centuries AD, Greek festivals were thriving across the eastern Mediterranean. Much of our knowledge of these festivals, and their associated processions, rituals, banquets, and competitions, comes from material culture-- inscriptions, coins, architecture, and art-works. Yet each of these pieces of material evidence was the result of a conscious act, of what to record, and where and how to record it, with varying patterns discernible across different areas, and in different media. This volume draws attention to the choices made in a variety of different forms of material culture relating to Greek festivals from the Hellenistic to Roman periods, and unpicks the ways in which they encode or forge particular social relationships and power structures, as well as creating senses of community or communication between different groups. These helped to fix ephemeral events into public memory, to present particular views of their significance for the wider community, and to frame the experience of their participants.
Book Synopsis The Social Dynamics of Roman Imperial Imagery by : Amy Russell
Download or read book The Social Dynamics of Roman Imperial Imagery written by Amy Russell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images relating to imperial power were produced all over the Roman Empire at every social level, and even images created at the centre were constantly remade as they were reproduced, reappropriated, and reinterpreted across the empire. This book employs the language of social dynamics, drawn from economics, sociology, and psychology, to investigate how imperial imagery was embedded in local contexts. Patrons and artists often made use of the universal visual language of empire to navigate their own local hierarchies and relationships, rather than as part of direct communication with the central authorities, and these local interactions were vital in reinforcing this language. The chapters range from large-scale monuments adorned with sculpture and epigraphy to quotidian oil lamps and lead tokens and cover the entire empire from Hispania to Egypt, and from Augustus to the third century CE.

Book excerpt: Stephen L. Dyson examines rural communities as functioning, largely autonomous societies.

Book Synopsis Becoming Roman? by : Ralph Haeussler
Download or read book Becoming Roman? written by Ralph Haeussler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few empires had such an impact on the conquered peoples as did the Roman empire, creating social, economic, and cultural changes that erased long-standing differences in material culture, languages, cults, rituals and identities. But even Rome could not create a single unified culture. Individual decisions introduced changes in material culture, identity, and behavior, creating local cultures within the global world of the Roman empire that were neither Roman nor native. The author uses Northwest Italy as an exemplary case as it went from a marginal zone to one of the most flourishing and strongly urbanized regions of Italy, while developing a unique regional culture. This volume will appeal to researchers interested in the Roman Empire, as well as those interested in individual and cultural identity in the past.
