| Summary: | This volume examines the dynamic concept and changing reality of Romancitizenship from the perspective of the provinces in Rome's vast,multi-ethnic empire, both before and after Caracalla's grant ofuniversal citizenship in 212 CE. In Greek communities, and in Jewish andChristian conceptual and actual constructed communities, the Romandefinition of citizenship had a profound impact on the shape of abstractideas of community, discourse about communal membership and peoplehood,and legal and civic models. Just as Roman citizenship was foreverredefining its restrictions and becoming ever-more inclusive, so theborders of the other communities to which Greeks, Christians and Jewsclaimed "citizenship" were also flexible, adaptable, dynamic. |
