Summary

"This book examines the overlapping emphases and themes of two cosmopolitan and multiethnic cultural identities emerging in the early centuries of the Common Era - a trans-empire alliance of the Elite and the "Christians". Exploring the cultural representations of these social identities, Judith Perkins shows that they converge around an array of shared themes: violence, the body, prisons, courts, and time. Her discussion offers a stimulating survey of interest to students of ancient narrative, cultural studies, and gender."--BOOK JACKET.
