Antiquity in Global Context

Antiquity in Global Context promotes new narratives of the ancient world that complement the traditional picture of Greece and Rome. The series publishes research defined by innovative contextual approaches, both comparative and connective. Comparative studies investigate the states, societies, and cultures of the ancient world in an explicitly comparative framework, drawing primarily on Mediterranean and Eurasian cases, but also turning, where appropriate, to case studies from Oceania and the Americas. Connective studies situate the ancient Greek and Roman past in broader Eurasian and North African contexts, examining human and material connections with early China, the Indian Ocean world, and the adjacent regions of West Asia, Egypt, and North Africa. This comparative and connective conception of antiquity provides a broad and dynamic platform for new under-standings of our global age, grounded in the history and experience of the deep past. It fosters scholarly dialogues relevant not only to the intellectual opportunities but also to the political and ethical challenges generated by the forces of globalization.
