Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Hellenistic-Roman Alexandria is often characterized as a cosmopolis; a city that would represent the quintessential cultural crossroads of the ancient world. The aim of this volume is to critically discuss, unwrap and develop this idea. After a set of (theoretical) introductions, first the n…etwork Alexandria was part of is explored in a more global, Afro-Eurasian sense than is traditionally done. What about Alexandrias connections with China, India, Central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the African Sahara and (western) Europe? Second, the relation between the global node that was Alexandria and the many processes of innovation that characterized the city during the Hellenistic-Roman era are investigated through a variety of specifically selected case studies: from medicine to poetry and from the citys famous tombs to its exotic animals. Global dynamics prove to be at the core of Hellenistic-Roman Alexandria and its innovative character.
