The Roman Shaping of Greek Cultural Identity 30 BC-AD 267

目的是完成一个重新评估罗马统治下的希腊文化的项目。它表明，从公元前1世纪起，以地方希腊化为特征的古老性，广义地说，是希腊人对“成为罗马人”过程的表达。“它使用案例研究来表明，地方希腊精英模仿了罗马文化和政治精英在首都所青睐的霸权版本的希腊主义，并通过奥古斯都以来罗马权力的深入渗透而投射回各省。希腊贵族重新配置了希腊文化，以符合罗马人对古老的理想化希腊主义的偏好。

The aim is to complete a project which reassesses Greek culture under Roman rule. It demonstrates that the archaism characterising provincial Hellenism from the 1st cent BX onwards was, broadly speaking, the Greek expression of the process of 'becoming Roman.' It uses case-studies to show that provincial Greek elites emulated the hegemonic version of Hellenism favoured by Roman cultural and political elites in the capital and projected back into the provinces by the deepening penetration of Roman power from Augustus on. Greek notables reconfigured Greek culture to match Roman preferences for an antique, idealised Hellenism.
