The conference aims for systematic understanding of the material culture of cities (re-)founded in the Hellenistic southern Levant. It will use the unique situation of the region - which had little exposure to Hellenization before Alexander and later saw a direct change from Ptolemaic to Seleucid rule - to make regional and cross-temporal comparisons of the two monarchies and examine the interplay of local and Greek influences during that time. Concentrating on the most visible agent of Hellenization, the foundation of cities, the following questions will be examined to disentangle the different vectors of influences and their interconnectedness:
- How did the material culture develop over time?
- How did the Ptolemaic and Seleucid impacts differ?
- How did new influences relate to local cultures?
- What were the specific ways of fusing local and Greek forms of material culture? Which local forms continued and are there common patterns between different groups of adaptations?
How did local kingdoms react to the new models of Hellenistic city foundations?
