Companion to Ethnicity in the Ancient Mediterranean

THE EDITOR Jeremy McInerney is the Davidson Kennedy Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. He is the author of The Cattle of the Sun (2010) and The Folds of Parnassos (1999).

"Overall, this 'companion' is a successful one. It offers a wide introduction to the many aspects of ethnicity in the ancient world. The chapters are well written and additional suggestions on further reading are helpful. The book is well suited to undergraduate and graduate reading lists; it is also a valuable tool for the general reader."—Jesper Majbom Madsen, Orbis Terrarum
