Historians have noted it has been 'taken for granted' and viewed as an unremarkable by-product of 'Romanization', despite its central importance for understanding the Roman provincial world, its life, and languages. This volume aims to fill the gap in our scholarship. Expert contributors have been selected to create a multi-disciplinary volume with a thematic approach to the vast subject, tackling administration, army, economy, law, mobility, religion (local and imperial religions and Christianity), social status, and urbanism. They situate the phenomena of Latinization, literacy, and bi- and multilingualism within local and broader social developments and draw together materials and arguments that have not before been coordinated in a single volume. The result is a comprehensive guide to the topic, which offers original and more experimental work. The sociolinguistic, historical, and archaeological contributions reinforce, expand, and sometimes challenge our vision of Latinization and lay the foundations for future explorations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume will be accompanied by two further volumes from the European Research Council-funded LatinNow project: \u003cem\u003eLatinization, Local Languages, and Literacies in the Roman West\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLanguages and Communities in the Late-Roman and Post-Imperial Western Provinces\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Mullen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198887299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198887294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.60d","brand":"Alex Mullen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966253625599,"sku":"9780198887294","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35017b9d-0f44-4712-900e-cc10abda232a.jpg?v=1711159318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-factors-in-the-latinization-alex-mullen-9780198887294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
