In recent years the regional concept of the "Mediterranean" has emerged both as a program for cultural networking as well as a conceptual tool for interpreting society and history. In this book, prominent historians apply Mediterranean paradigms to Classical Mediterranean Antiquity (Greece and Rome), allowing for a new approach to the ancient world and enhancing antiquity's relevance to the understanding of other historical periods as well as our contemporary world. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal "Mediterranean Historical Review." |
