Boatwright examines five of the peoples incorporated into the Roman world from the Republican through the Imperial periods: northerners, Greeks, Egyptians, Jews, and Christians. She explores over time the tension between assimilation and distinctiveness in the Roman world, as well as the changes effected in Rome by its multicultural nature. Underlining the fundamental importance of diversity in Rome's self- identity, the book explores Roman tolerance of difference and community as the Romans expanded and consolidated their power and incorporated other peoples into their empire. The peoples of the Roman world provides an accessible account of Rome's social, cultural, religious, and political history, exploring the rich literary, documentary, and visual evidence for these peoples and Rome's reactions to them"--Provided by publisher 650 0 Ethnology|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Minorities|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Ethnicity|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Assimilation (Sociology)|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Acculturation|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Cultural pluralism|zRome|xHistory 650 0 Imperialism|xSocial aspects|zRome|xHistory 650 7 Rom|xhistoria|yantiken|2sao 651 0 Rome|xEthnic relations 651 0 Rome|xSocial conditions 651 0 Rome|xTerritorial expansion 830 0 Cambridge introduction to Roman civilization 907 00 121203
