When Rome found Taprobane

Some remarkable cultural similarities after the Arrival of a Roman Freedman on the Taprobane Island
BuchGebunden

epublierschienen am04.08.2024
As we have long known from a report in the encyclopaedic work of the ancient Roman naturalist Pliny, an embassy from the island of Taprobane, now Sri Lanka, came to the court of the Roman Emperor Claudius, ruling at this time. The detailed circumstances of this legation in the 1st century CE are not known to us until today and probably never will be. This study, at least, aims to shed light on the possible effects of the arrival of a Roman freedman on the island, which finally led to the despatch of this legation. More specifically, it aims to identify cultural or personal adaptations in ancient Rome on the one hand and Sri Lanka on the other at this period of history, exemplified by a number of similarities. As will be shown in this cross-cultural study, such examples of similarities are far more numerous than one might generally assume.mehr
