Description

Time and Temporality in the Ancient World by Ralph M. Rosen explores the diverse ways that ancient cultures understood time, revealing striking similarities and differences between societies across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The study of time in antiquity is complex, with various models emerging over millennia. This book examines specific examples, including the construction of time and space in prehistory, Roman Britain, Assyria and Babylonia, classical India, the Hebrew Bible, China, Greece, and the Roman Empire. Contributions from leading scholars provide a comprehensive understanding of these topics. Through its diverse case studies, Time and Temporality in the Ancient World sheds light on the ingenuity and creativity of ancient cultures as they grappled with fundamental questions about time and its significance.
