INTEGRATION IN ROME AND IN THE ROMAN WORLD; Proceedings of the Tenth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire (Lille, June 23-25, 2011)

Integration in the empire under the political control of the city of Rome, her princeps, and the different authorities in the provinces and cities includes processes of inclusion and exclusion. These multifaceted processes take place at various levels in society and at different places, over a long period of time. In this volume, these processes are analysed and reflected on from different perspectives. Juridical, political, social and religious points of view are articulated, elaborating on epigraphic, literary, juridical and numismatic evidence. Notions of personal and collective identities have been linked to relevant Roman realia, so that various contents of Romanitas can be defined through contextualization.

Stéphane Benoist, D.Phil (1992, Paris-Sorbonne) and Habilitation (2001, Panthéon-Sorbonne), is Professor of Roman History at the University Lille-Nord de France. He has published on imperial power, political discourses and conception of memory, festival and ceremonies in the city of Rome.

Gerda de Kleijn, Ph.D. (2001), Radboud University Nijmegen, teaches ancient history at that university. She has published on the water supply and topography of the city of Rome and on leadership.
