The province of Achaea in the 2nd century CE the past present Kouremenos, Anna editor. text bibliography History. enk 2022 2022 monographic eng print xx, 390 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm. "The Province of Achaea in the 2nd Century CE explores the conception and utilization of the Greek past in the Roman province of Achaea in the 2nd century CE, and the reception of the artistic, cultural, and intellectual outputs of this century in later periods. Achaea, often defined by international scholars as "old Greece", was the only Roman province located entirely within the confines of the Modern Greek state. In many ways, Achaea in the 2nd Century CE witnessed a second Golden Age, one based on collective historical nostalgia under Roman imperial protection and innovation. The papers in this volume are holistic in scope, with special emphasis on Roman imperial relations with the people of Achaea and their conceptualizations of their past. Material culture, monumental and domestic spaces, and artistic representations are discussed, as well as the literary output of individuals like Plutarch, Herodes Atticus, Aelius Aristides, and others. The debate over Roman influence in various Hellenic cities and the significance of collective historical nostalgia also feature in this volume, as does the utilization of Achaea's past in the Roman present within the wider empire. As this century has produced the highest percentage of archaeological and literary material from the Roman period in the province under consideration, the time is ripe to position it more firmly in the academic discourse of studies of the Roman Empire. The Province of Achaea in the 2nd Century CE will appeal to scholars, students, and other individuals who are interested in the history, archaeology, art, and literature of the Graeco-Roman world and its reception"-- List of figures -- List of Tables -- List of contributors -- Preface -- Map of Achaea with major cities, mid-2nd century CE -- Map of the Roman Empire in the mid-2nd century CE -- Introduction: collective historical nostalgia in 2nd-century Achaea / Anna Kouremenos -- Memory and identity among the Ephebes of 2nd-century Achaea / Nigel M.
