The eleven essays in this volume arose from a 2011 conference linked to the Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua project, the history of which is recounted in the final chapter (C. Roueche). In the Preface, Thonemann rightly notes that the history of Roman Phrygia is little known to modern scholars, despite an “astonishing abundance of Greek and Latin inscriptions” that provide insight into rural and smalltown life in the region. In chapter one, Thonemann himself provides a sweeping overview of the geography and history of Phrygia from 950 BCE through 100 CE. The next two chapters look at Phrygian self-identity, both in how they co-opted negative stereotyping by outsiders (B. Levick) and how naming practices were used (mostly unsuccessfully) to resist Greek and then Roman colonization (C. Brixhe). The selfidentity and self-representation of the Phrygians in funerary and votive epigraphy is the main concern of chapters four to six: an exploration of grave monuments and local mythologies (U. Kelp), hair styles, clothing and tools (J. Masseglia), and household and family structures (Thonemann). Chapter seven provides an important survey of the legal, governmental, and administrative institutions of the region under the Romans in the late I BCE to the early III CE (G. Kantor). Chapters eight and nine return the reader to funerary inscriptions but with an emphasis on Christian identity, first with the socially confident Montanists in western Phrygia (S. Mitchell), a distinct contrast to the “crypto-Christians,” whose reticence to display their religious convictions is predicated on stylistic grounds rather than a fear of persecution (É. Chiricat). A distinctive Phrygian self-identity continues well into the Christian period, as demonstrated by both ecclesiastical and secular stonemasonry (P. Niewohner). The volume is well illustrated with many black and white photos (mostly of inscriptions) and a few line drawings and maps. The essays are required reading for anyone working in the area of Phrygia but are also a highly recommended model for those attempting to undertake a comprehensive study of cultural developments in a region over time.
