Just What Does Greco-roman Mean
Greco-Roman Religion in both Greece and Rome was polytheistic, embracing a multitude of gods and goddesses, especially in the Roman Empire which tended to absorb the deities of the countries it conquered. The Greco-Roman period of history refers to the culture of the peoples who were incorporated into the Roman Republic and Empire. The “classical” Greco-Roman period ends with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. However, the Greco-Roman civilization continued in the East for another millennium (although as with all civilizations it changed over time). Terms such as Greco-Roman World are also coined by scholars to denote the geographical borders of the culture’s impact. After the Punic Wars, Greco-Roman civilization dominated permanently over the Carthago Phoenician areas and the entire Mediterranean basin. The Greco-Roman dominion reflects the essential unity of the Mediterranean world at the time when this culture flourished, between the 3rd century BC and the 5th century AD.
In the succeeding centuries the notion of a common Greco-Roman culture in the Mediterranean became more and more distant from reality. Within its educated class, spanning all of the “Greco-Roman” era, the testimony of literary borrowings and influences is overwhelming proof of a mantle of mutual knowledge. Imperial Rome is identified with the cultural legacy of its forebears; it sustained that tradition without innovation, until Constantine broke away from the attenuated religion of the Greco-Roman past and transformed Rome’s cultural matrix by acknowledging the faith of a persecuted minority. The life of Constantine is arguably a better terminus of the Greco-Roman age than any other; it may equally be considered as the herald of the Middle Ages. In the cities of the Greco-Roman period, Greek ideas were disseminated, Greek dress was fashionable, and the externals of Greek civilization, baths, theaters, amphitheaters, hippodromes, fountains, aqueducts, arches, and the like were highly visible.
The Greco-Roman world did not lack gods and goddesses. Although Caesarea was home to many Jews, its population became primarily Hellenistic (Greek-speaking inhabitants who worshiped Greco-Roman gods). Many Romans worshipped the traditional Greco-Roman gods, but Romans were also Christians, Jews, and followers of Eastern religions such as the cults of Mithras, Isis and Astarte. The major Greco-Roman gods are illustrated, as are a number of depictions of Medusa, Heracles performing his labors, and other mythological figures, such as genii on Roman sarcophagi. In ancient times, Hebe was regarded as the goddess of youth and the servant of the Greco-Roman gods.
Pompeii’s large theatre underwent a structural change from the Hellenistic style to a more Greco-Roman style.
So as you can see there are many studies and thoughts regarding the Roman-Greco period.

Roman Dress and the Fabrics of Roman Culture by Edmondson, Jonathan; Keith, Alison Mary Edition ILL, 0 $31.99 Roman Dress and the Fabrics of Roman Cultureinvestigates the social symbolism and cultural poetics of dress in the ancient Roman world in the period from 200 BCE-400 CE. Editors Jonathan Edmondson and Alison Keith and the contributors to this volume explore the diffusion of Roman dress protocols at Rome and in the Roman imperial context by looking at Rome's North African provinces in particular, a focus that previous studies have overlooked or dealt with only in passing. Another unique aspect of this collection is that it goes beyond the male elite to address a wider spectrum of Roman society. Chapters deal with such topics as masculine attire, strategies for self-expression for Roman women within a dress code prescribed by a patriarchal culture, and the complex dynamics of dress in imperial Roman culture, both literary and artistic. This volume further investigates the literary, legal, and iconographic evidence to provide anthropologically-informed readings of Roman clothing.This collection of original essays employs a range of methodological approaches – historical, literary critical, philological, art historical, sociological and anthropological – to offer a thorough discussion of one of the most central issues in Roman culture. |
