Double-weighted statement
The book presents a group of interconnected arguments about the intellectual bases and social significance of ethnographic writing generated in the course of Roman expansion in the west. It qualifies for double-weighting both for the complexity of its conceptualization – which for the first time brings together the modern autocritique of ethnography with discussions of the cultural dimensions of Roman imperialism, and the study of mythography with that of ancient science – and also for its use of a wide range of Greek and Latin texts variously classified as medical, geographical and historical.
