Synopsis
In this book, Louise Revell examines questions of Roman imperialism and Roman ethnic identity and explores Roman imperialism as a lived experience based around the paradox of similarity and difference. Her case studies of public architecture in several urban settings provides an understanding of the ways in which urbanism, the emperor and religion were part of the daily encounters of the peoples in these communities. Revell applies the ideas of agency and practice in her examination of the structures that held the empire together and how they were implicated within repeated daily activities. Rather than offering a homogenized “ideal type” description of Roman cultural identity, she uses these structures as a way to understand how these encounters differed between communities and within communities, thus producing a more nuanced interpretation of what it was to be Roman. Bringing an innovative approach to the problem of Romanization, Revell breaks from traditional models and cuts across a number of entrenched debates such as arguments about the imposition of Roman culture or resistance to Roman rule.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, sturdy vinyl boards, xiii + 221 pages, b&w photos, maps and plans in text, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A scratch on the front board. Bright untorn dust jacket. -- This study offers a critical re-evaluation of the concept of 'Romanization' in the western provinces of the Roman Empire. The author challenges the traditional top-down model of cultural assimilation, arguing instead for a more dynamic and negotiated process of identity formation. Drawing on archaeological and epigraphic evidence from Britain, Gaul, and Spain, the work examines how local communities actively selected, adapted, and reinterpreted Roman cultural forms - from architecture and urbanism to religious practices - to create new, hybrid local identities. It posits that being 'Roman' was not a monolithic state but a fluid and situational identity that coexisted with and was shaped by persistent local traditions. The book serves as a key text in the modern study of Roman imperialism, focusing on the agency of provincial populations. Seller Inventory # 011549
