Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world SN - 9789004683181 UR - https://www.gbv.de/dms/art-berlin/1855135167.pdf UR - https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004683181 UR - https://doi.org/110.1163/9789004683181 DO - 10.1163/9789004683181 DO - 110.1163/9789004683181 LA - English N1 - edited by Sonja Ammann, Helge Bezold, Stephen Germany, und Julia Rhyder ID - 1855135167 ER -
