This volume breaks new ground in approaching the Ancient Economy by bringing together documentary sources from Mesopotamia and the Greco-Roman world. Addressing textual corpora that have traditionally been studied separately, the collected papers overturn the conventional view of a fundamental divide between the economic institutions of these two regions. The premise is that, while controlling for differences, texts from either cultural setting can be brought to bear on the other and can shed light, through their use as proxy data, on such questions as economic mentalities and market developme

La notion de région a depuis fort longtemps été un concept de base de l'analyse historique du monde grec. Cependant, ce concept n'a pas toujours été clairement défini. Les contributions de ce volume n'esquivent pas la question et s'efforcent de mettre en évidence les implications de la notion selon différentes perspectives d'analyse, en prenant pour cadre de référence l'Asie Mineure hellénistique et romaine. Qu'elles examinent la culture, le monnayage ou les institutions politiques, les contributions de ce volume s'attachent à explorer les différentes facettes des identités régionales. De même, elles prennent en considération les moyens par lesquels ces identités pouvaient rester tendanciellement stables ou au contraire évoluer au fil du temps, et définissent leur type d'interaction avec les puissances hégémoniques. Parfois aussi, elles n'hésitent pas à mettre en cause l'utilité de l'approche régionale. Enfin, la question de l'"ethnicité" n'est pas négligée. Ce volume intéressera les spécialistes de l'Asie Mineure, aussi bien que tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la conceptualisation de la notion de région dans le monde méditerranéen. Regions and regionalism have been staples of historical analysis for the Greek world for a very long time. What is meant by a region, however, is not always obvious. The contributions in this volume seek to address the question of defining regions and working out the implications of regionalism along different dimensions of analysis for Asia Minor in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Looking at culture, coinage, political institutions, the papers explore different markers of regional identity, consider ways in which these identities may remain stable or change over time, review the character of the interaction between regional entities and hegemonic powers, and challenge the usefulness in some cases of regional analysis. Questions of ethnicity are also addressed. This volume will be of interest to historians working in Asia Minor and…
