Bringing together philologists, historians, and archaeologists, Rome, Empire of Plunder bridges disciplinary divides in pursuit of an interdisciplinary understanding of Roman cultural appropriation - approached not as a set of distinct practices but as a hydra-headed phenomenon through which Rome made and remade itself, as a Republic and as an Empire, on Italian soil and abroad. The studies gathered in this volume range from the literary thefts of the first Latin comic poets to the grand-scale spoliation of Egyptian obelisks by a succession of emperors, and from Hispania to Pergamon to Qasr Ibrim. Applying a range of theoretical perspectives on cultural appropriation, contributors probe the violent interactions and chance contingencies that sent cargo of all sorts into circulation around the Roman Mediterranean, causing recurrent distortions in their individual and aggregate meanings. The result is an innovative and nuanced investigation of Roman cultural appropriation and imperial power.

Romanisée avant la Gaule Narbonnaise, l'Espagne a été, après la Sicile et avant la Grèce et l'Orient, le laboratoire de l'impérialisme romain, confronté à la thalassocratie punique. La Bétique, encore appelée « Espagne Ultérieure », a révélé un très dense tissu urbain : elle illustre le fait que la romanisation est par essence urbanisation. Superposée au vieux fonds ibéro-punique et aux établissements grecs, la romanisation de la Péninsule a créé partout, pour reprendre l'expression de l'empereur Hadrien, des « images reflétées de Rome ». L'ancienneté de l'occupation et de la romanisation explique que nulle province n'ait, en deux siècles à peine, fourni autant de grands noms à la littérature latine : les Sénèques et Lucain, originaires de Cordue, Columelle, de Gadès, Martial, de Bilbilis, et Quintilien, de Calagurris ; cette tradition s'est maintenue jusqu'au Bas-Empire, illustrée par le poète chrétien Prudence et le savant évêque Isidore de Séville. Le présent ouvrage n'est nullement une somme consacrée à la romanisation de l'Espagne. Il se propose plus modestement d'illustrer, à travers quelques exemples phares empruntés à différents domaines d'étude, la présence culturelle de Rome dans la péninsule Ibérique et sa spécificité.

By engaging with recent developments in the study of empires, this book examines how inhabitants of Roman imperial Syria reinvented expressions and experiences of Greek, Roman and Syrian identification. It demonstrates how the organization of Greek communities and a peer polity network extending citizenship to ethnic Syrians generated new semiotic frameworks for the performance of Greekness and Syrianness. Within these, Syria's inhabitants reoriented and interwove idioms of diverse cultural origins, including those from the Near East, to express Greek, Roman and Syrian identifications in innovative and complex ways. While exploring a vast array of written and material sources, the book thus posits that Greekness and Syrianness were constantly shifting and transforming categories, and it critiques many assumptions that govern how scholars of antiquity often conceive of Roman imperial Greek identity, ethnicity and culture in the Roman Near East, and processes of 'hybridity' or similar concepts.
