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

其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，从公元前一世纪起，以希腊语为特征的地方希腊主义，从广义上讲，是希腊语中“成为罗马人”过程的表达。它使用案例研究表明，狭隘的希腊精英效仿了首都罗马文化和政治精英青睐的希腊主义的霸权版本，并通过自奥古斯都以来罗马权力的不断深化渗透而投射回各省。希腊名人重新调整了希腊文化，以符合罗马人对古董、理想化的希腊主义的偏好。

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.
