"Identities in Antiquity offers a multi-disciplinary platform for the synthetic study of ancient identities set in a more rounded and inclusive notion of Antiquity, introducing readers to a range of methodological perspectives and case studies. Showcasing research on ancient identities from the third millennium BCE to the early Middle Ages, this volume brings together a variety of scholarly approaches and bodies of evidence from an international group of both established academics and early career scholars. It uses a variety of case studies to illustrate the intersecting, multifaceted, and flexible (or sometimes inflexible) nature of ancient identities, as well as the enduring power and significance with which they were imbued. The first part of the volume explores core themes and approaches to ancient identities. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as gender, race/ethnicity, slavery, diaspora, elites, and religion in the Ancient Near East, the Greek and Roman worlds, and the post-Roman West. As well as promoting a more holistic approach to the study of ancient identities, it facilitates comparisons between different periods and disciplines, generating new knowledge in the process. Identities in Antiquity is suitable for students and scholars of Classical Studies, the Ancient Near East, and Late Antiquity and Byzantium, offering a valuable contribution to the study of ancient identities and the workings of ancient societies"--.
