Publisher:	Routledge
Description:	The studies in this volume illustrate well these principles and Eric’s abiding influence. The religion and society of Roman Palestine need to be appreciated both at local and regional level (cf. Meyers 1999), and against the background of the rest of the Ancient Near East (cf. Meyers 1971), and in the light of the Mediterranean world as a whole. The significance of Jewish adoption of a material culture similar to that of their gentile neighbours, and contrariwise the significance of Jews’ insistence on using distinctively different material goods and buildings, long studied by Eric particularly in connection with the important excavations at Sepphoris (Meyers et al. 1992), receive further attention here and go to the heart of difficult issues about assimilation, acculturation and the preservation of difference in a multicultural society
