But from about A.D. 250-500, there was a basic shift in mentality, as news from and about frontiers began to portray a more defined Roman world?a world with limits?allowing a new understanding of frontiers as territorial and not just as divisions of people. This concept, previously unknown in the ancient world, brought with it a new consciousness, which soon spread to cosmology, geography, myth, sacred texts, and prophecy. The ?frontier consciousness? produced a unified sense of Roman identity that transcended local identities and social boundaries throughout the later Empire. 606 $aCommunication$zRome$xHistory 606 $aFrontier thesis 607 $aLimes (Roman boundary)$xHistory 607 $aRome$xBoundaries$xHistory 607 $aRome$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication$xHistory. 615 0$aFrontier thesis. 676 $a937/.09 700 $aGraham$b Mark W.$f1970-$0777390 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 912 $a9910265235503321 996 $aNews and frontier consciousness in the late Roman Empire$92025907 997 $aUNINA
