Description
The Roman Empire's linguistic landscape was complex and diverse. This book explores how the Romans communicated with their subjects in different parts of the empire, and the linguistic policies they pursued to address these challenges. A range of cultural, historical, and linguistic questions are addressed as the author examines the varying developments in bilingualism within the Roman world. The impact of bilingualism on thought, speech, and writing is considered, providing a nuanced understanding of this important aspect of ancient Roman society. Through its systematic approach, this book sheds light on the ways in which language shaped the Roman experience, and how the Romans adapted to communicate with people from different linguistic backgrounds.
