Ruffini. 330 $a"A recent surge of interest in network approaches to the study of the ancient world has enabled scholars of the Roman Empire to move beyond traditional narratives of domination, resistance, integration and fragmentation. This relational turn has not only offers tools to identify, map, visualize and, in some cases, even quantify interaction based on a variety of ancient source material, but also provides a terminology to deal with the everyday ties of power, trade, and ideology that operated within, below, and beyond the superstructure of imperial rule. Thirteen contributions employ a range of quantitative, qualitative and descriptive network approaches in order to provide new perspectives on trade, communication, administration, technology, religion and municipal life in the Roman Near East and adjacent regions."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aInternational relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977053 607 $aRome$xRelations 607 $aRome$xCivilization$xMiddle Eastern influences 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2fast 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2lcgft 615 7$aInternational relations. 676 $a305.50937 702 $aTeigen$b Hakon Fiane 702 $aHeldaas Seland$b Eivind 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827204103321 996 $aSinews of empire$94043230 997 $aUNINA
