Opis

This text examines the theme of identity, whether it be geographic, ethnic, religious, status or sex-based. Through discussions of particular Roman texts and images, the contributors show not only how these texts were used to create and organise particular visions of late antique society and culture, but also how constructions of identity and culture contributed to the fashioning of late antiquity into a discrete historical period.
