Examines cultural interaction, transformation and the repercussions and local reactions to Greek colonization in social, religious, economic and cultural terms in a series of case studies from around the Mediterranean and Black Sea..
The Roman period witnessed an explosion in material culture, from everyday objects to large scale cities. The 15 papers here explore what it means to materialise Roman history, focusing on the question of what objects do in history, rather than what they represent.
The publication of the papers presented in this volume marks an important step in the study of ancient cities. Despite having long been a focus of archaeological investigation and analysis, until relatively recently they have tended to be described rather than analysed.
In the past 30 years archaeological field survey has become central to the practise of Classical Archaeology. During this time, approaches have developed from the systematic collection of artefacts to include the routine deployment of various geophysical and remote sensing techniques.
