This series explores the latest thinking about the lived experiences of the Mediterranean's populations of the first millennium BCE. This is the first era of a true pan-Mediterranean history, when individuals and groups deliberately connected places and cultures from the Levant to Iberia. These developments were experienced in very different ways and had profoundly different impacts within regions and over time. Volumes in this series consider a wide range of theoretical, cultural-historical, material, literary, and intangible aspects of Iron Age Mediterranean cultures. The series breaks down the disciplinary, methodological and geographical silos that characterise the study of the ancient Mediterranean world. By zooming in on the early first millennium, these Elements decenter the dominant meta-narratives and teleological perspectives that privileged the classical and better-documented cultures, making room for new scholarly voices, datasets, and angles, in studies that are, moreover, sensitive to issues of gender, ethnicity/race, mobility, and inequality.
