Contact Zones in the Eastern Mediterranean. Judeans and their neighbours in intercultural contexts: places, middlemen, transcultural contacts – sixth to second century BCE

The book focuses on the intercultural relations of Judeans in and outside Palestine (6th to 2nd century BCE). The case studies written by historians, biblical scholars, archaeologists and papyrologists concern topics like interreligious influences, questions of social connectivity, material culture, literary practices and reactions to the policies of imperial elites. This volume provides material for further interdisciplinary studies, especially in relation to Judean/Jewish history and intercultural relations in the ancient Mediterranean.
