  • Summary

    The fourth chapter starts with exploring the extent to which an awareness of the potential cultural capital of calendrical systems can be detected in the cities of Roman Ionia, both in regard to cyclical (calendars, months) and linear (eponymous dating, eras) constructions of time. The Ionian cities appear as highly conservative in maintaining their traditional calendars and month names, the latter being clearly distinguishable from month names of cities in other parts of the Greek world through their characteristic morphology. Similarly, the Ionian cities never replaced their traditional eponymous year dating with an era-based dating as many other communities in Asia Minor are attested to have done. An onomastic study forms the second part of the chapter. Based on all the personal names attested in the cities of Roman Ionia it can be shown that names of specific Ionian flavour continue to be attested in the Roman Imperial period.

  • Chapter 5 - The Ionic Dialect

  • Summary

    One of the most prominent and seemingly most straightforward criteria used to distinguish different ethno-cultural groups or subdivide them further was the existence of a distinct dialect, to which the fifth chapter is dedicated. Because of the unrepresentative picture we get from the nature of the surviving epigraphic evidence, we cannot be sure whether some form of the Ionic dialect or accent continued to be spoken in the Roman period. Yet, the continued creative engagement with the Ionic dialect in the fields of historiography and medical writing by authors from all over the Greek world – and not only as imitations of individual canonical authors, but with a clear awareness that they were writing in Ionic Greek – shows that it maintained its very prestigious position as a traditional literary language and that it could still be considered as a meaningful cultural resource.

  • Summary

    The Introduction anchors the main sujet of the book within a longue durée perspective from Archaic Ionia, and the dominant scholarly interest in this period, to the role of Ionia in 20th c. political and identity discourses. Stereotypes associated with Ionians by their ancient contemporaries are analysed here as one important aspect of the Ionians’ collective perception. The Introduction also provides an overview of the concepts of identity, ethnicity, and cultural identity as applied in the field of Ancient History, as well as brief summaries of the individual chapters’ contents.

  • How did the cities of Ionia construct and express a distinct sense of Ionian identity under Roman rule? With the creation of the Roman province of Asia and the ever-growing incorporation of the Greeks into the Roman Empire, issues of identity gained new relevance and urgency for the Greek provincials. The Ionian cities are a special case as they, unlike many other cities in Asia Minor, were all old Greek poleis and could look back on a glorious tradition of great antiquity. Martin Hallmannsecker provides answers to this question using studies of the extant literary sources complemented with analyses of the rich epigraphic and numismatic material from the cities of Ionia. In doing so, he draws a more holistic and nuanced picture of the region and furthers understanding of Greek culture under the Roman Empire.
