• W2336310889 abstract "Orthodoxies – Old and New The setting: a Liverpool lecture hall; the topic: the Roman empire’s territorial organisation, its provinces and instruments of imperial rule; the audience: an average class of mostly state-educated undergraduates. The author of this paper points out to the students the empire’s centre-periphery structure, using the British empire as an explanans. His hopes, the more recent example might ring a bell with some students, were met, but not in the predicted way: his mention of the British empire caused discomfort in the audience until finally one student declared: ‘How can you possibly use the British empire as a model? We all know that it was evil.’ The episode is telling in more than one way: obviously, students find it difficult to distinguish between heuristic models and role models. By choosing the British empire as a heuristic model, no one has, of course, suggested that the European colonial empires of the 19th and 20th centuries should set an example for the world order of the 21st century. Nobody wants to justify mechanisms of expropriation and exploitation inherent in Europe’s colonial empires – and indeed in more recent structures of dependency. But the student’s remark also makes clear to what degree post-colonial theorising has become a common place in modern British society and education; to what extent it has been vulgarised; how profoundly normative categories have infiltrated the way we confront our past. History lessons at secondary school are soaked with anti-colonial reflex, not only in Britain, but all over the (Western) world. Not surprisingly, the reaction to the intellectual Eurocentrism of past generations has left its mark on scholarship dealing with the more remote past of Europe’s classical and pre-classical history too. The very idea of defining the Greek and Roman civilisations as ‘classical’ has become subject to criticism – and rightly so. No longer are Greek and Latin texts the measure of all things. Archaeology has given a voice to those who had been condemned to muteness, before systematic archaeological exploration began. And scholars have long since realised that the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome can best be understood if we examine them from their fringes. 1 A fresh view from the fringes of the world of the Iron Age Mediterranean is now presented in Tamar Hodos’s recent volume, which has the merit of having triggered the present discussion. In order to achieve its objective: to explore ‘local responses’ to ‘colonisation’ in this extremely dynamic period of Mediterranean history, the book comes up with an impressive array of archaeological material. Hodos’s analytical approach is lucid, her methodology adequate to the subject. The three regional case-studies accounting for the 1" @default.
