Scherr Jonas. Die Zivilisierung der Barbaren: Eine Diskursgeschichte von Cicero bis Cassius Dio

De Gruyter, 2023. — 694 p. — (Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 156).The Imperium Romanum was dominated by Roman-Latin and Greek language and culture. Others were – often derogatorily – seen as barbarian. But what did Romans think of Barbarians appropriating Greek-Roman culture? How did this kind of cultural transformation in the multicultural Roman state manifest and how was it negotiated? This book delves into these pertinent and highly topical questions.
