While this influential idea continues to hold sway, the time has come for a more nuanced and complex understanding of how the various societies of the ancient Mediterranean shaped their sense of identity. The twenty-four essays in this volume examine the subject from a variety of angles. They encompass a broad range of cultures--Greek, Persian, Jewish, Phoenician, Egyptian, Roman, Gallic, and German--and an impressive array of topics.
