This summer course, in its 31st edition, explores the concepts of "nationalities" and "nationalisms" within the Roman Empire. It examines how Rome's imperial ideology, military might, and diplomatic strategies shaped its dominance, and how diverse peoples integrated into the Roman orbit while retaining their identities.
The Museo Nacional de Arte Romano (MNAR) and the UNED Mérida Center present their 31st Summer Course, titled "Nationalities" and "nationalisms" in the Roman world." This event delves into the historical context of the Roman Empire's expansion and consolidation over seven centuries. It highlights how Rome's imperial ideology, supported by military force and diplomatic agreements, led to the political and cultural integration of various peoples. The course will discuss how many 'gentes' and 'nationes' not only joined the Roman sphere but also enriched Roman culture with their own distinct traits, evident in language and iconography. It also touches upon instances of resistance and "nationalist" aspirations for independence, such as those of the Jews or Palmyrenes, which were ultimately suppressed by Roman power.
