CFP: Converging Empires: Ptolemies and Seleucids in the Hellenistic and Roman periods

  

With the death of Alexander the Great and the eventual disintegration of his widespread empire, the individual empires of the Ptolemies and the Seleucids grew. These two empires are recognized for their growth and development of early institutions that would shape the Ancient Mediterranean. Scholarship in the last two decades has expanded our understanding of how these two empires interacted within Greco-Roman society through history, religion, philosophy, archaeology, art history and demographics: Lewis (1986), Kuhrt (1987), (1993), Millar (1987), Lampela (1998), Hölbl (2001), and Manning (2009). Their research sought to discuss the political and military history as a means of connection and authority within the region; stressing instability rather than tradition and continuation.  Much scholarship, including museum exhibits, has looked at these two regions independently rather than their interactions, but this panel seeks to demonstrate that more can be done with historical and secular aspects of the period. 

This panel will seek to show how there was a continuation and a dialogue within the region through the cultural, social and economic developments among the two empires and their connections with other burgeoning states.  

 Papers that seek to address the following issues will be considered:

Identity prior to the rise of the Diadochi

 Religion and Cult Worship between these Two Empires

 Women of the Region

 The “Barbarism” Attributed to these Peoples

 Connections with Eastern Kingdoms (e.g. Bactria, India, Central Asia)

 Display of Artistic Development

 Appropriation of Infrastructure and Institutions

 Bilingualism in Texts and Inscriptions

 

Please submit a 150 word abstract with bibliography and a C.V. to goldmanr at tcnj.edu BY March 25, 2016
