Hegemonia romana e transformações culturais no Mediterrâneo (séculos IV-II a.C.): novas perspectivas da história global

Abstract

This article discusses the utility of global history for the study of cultural change in the Mediterranean during the early Roman expansion (fourth-second centuries BC). By combining historical and archaeological evidence from Italy and the Greek world, this article traces increased connectivity and its diverse effects across the social transect (elites and non-elites) in view of patterns in worship, consumption and display.
