Re-Thinking Globalisation in the Ancient world (original) (raw)

The conference "Re-Thinking Globalisation in the Ancient World" explores varied aspects of globalization as it pertains to ancient societies, examining themes from trade routes and diasporas to cultural exchanges, emphasizing the relevance of these ancient interactions to contemporary understandings of globalization. It includes presentations on the Antonine plague as a global disease, Roman epigraphy as expressions of provincial acceptance, and the impact of the Indian Ocean on ancient trade dynamics, among others, proposing that globalization in antiquity reshapes historical narratives.
