Omschrijving
This volume, rather than concentrating on politics and imperial administration, studies the manifold ways in which people were ritually engaged in producing, consuming, organising and worshipping that fitted the changing realities of empire, focusing on how individuals and groups tried to do things 'the right way', the Greco-Roman imperial way.
"Overall the book strikes a good balance between focus and methodological approach, incorporating material, digital, and textual techniques, and moving between the early and high empire, and from Rome to the provinces ... The volume will be a nice resource for those interested in a variety of approaches to the topic, and to see how a sense of belonging to the cultural, religious, social, or political world of Rome was manifested in different areas and in different times."
