From prehistoric Santorini to Late Antique Rome, from textiles and dyes to lists of priests inscribed in stone, the authors in this volume, writing from many different perspectives, look at tradition as a powerful force in creating, maintaining and negotiating identity. Broaching a wide array of interesting subjects including cultic rituals and the use of magical objects and symbols, votive traditions in Greek Sanctuaries, funerary portraits and Iron Age pottery, this richly illustrated volume contributes to a better understanding of how tradition was negotiated and transmitted in the ancient world.
