The Culture of Animals in Antiquity A Sourcebook with Commentaries

The Culture of Animals in Antiquity A Sourcebook with Commentaries

The Culture of Animals in Antiquity provides students and researchers with well-chosen and clearly presented ancient sources in translation some well-known others undoubtedly unfamiliar but all central to a key area of study in ancient history: the part played by animals in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. It brings new ideas to bear on the wealth of evidence – literary historical and archaeological – which we possess for the experiences and roles of animals in the ancient world. Offering a broad picture of ancient cultures in the Mediterranean as part of a wider ecosystem the volume is on an ambitious scale. It covers a broad span of time from the sacred animals of dynastic Egypt to the imagery of the lamb in early Christianity and of region from the fallow deer introduced and bred in Roman Britain to the Asiatic lioness and her cubs brought as a gift by the Elamites to the Great King of Persia. This sourcebook is essential for anyone wishing to understand the role of animals in the ancient world and support learning for one of the fastest growing disciplines in Classics. | The Culture of Animals in Antiquity A Sourcebook with Commentaries
