Previous work focused on these sculptures’ cultic and art historical implications but has not considered their meaning in a colonial context. During the Roman Empire, provincial communities often depicted women in local, ethnic, or otherwise differentiated costumes, while men employed Greco-Roman dress. Similarly, in Athens, several women wear the Egyptian goddess Isis’s dress, while their male companions wear common Greek dress. This paper argues that Athenian reliefs use this gendered pattern of dress to negotiate competing yet complementary identity claims within a Roman colonial context. This analysis suggests that cult membership allowed some Greeks to employ Empire-wide patterns of self-representation in their portraiture. https://www.lindseyamazurek.com/research/reflexivity-and-digital-praxis monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec49cccd5469a353fa923bd/1590466971216-DDWRY5SCOD5USUH2GZPC/Figure7_labeled.jpg Research - Reflexivity and Digital Praxis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec49cccd5469a353fa923bd/1590467333481-KUV3D02SH33F0YRQVHRS/2018-06-01+16.00.02.jpg Research - Reflexivity and Digital Praxis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec49cccd5469a353fa923bd/1590467367745-J3CFWL1WO6OPLYYGLS2S/2018-06-05+16.52.23.jpg Research - Reflexivity and Digital Praxis https://www.lindseyamazurek.com/research/globalgoddess monthly 0.5 2020-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec49cccd5469a353fa923bd/1590443478443-CN9BZK6MYR7GK3H2N8Q1/fig5_delosA2255_18279.jpg Research - Fashioning a Global Goddess - Part of Mediterranean Archaeologies of Insularity in the Age of Globalization, ed. Anna Kouremenos and Jody G. Gordon. Oxford: Oxbow 2020. In this paper, I take a seascape-oriented approach to the study of island and main- land port connections in the Hellenistic Mediterranean that reconfigures the idea of a ‘region’. When Greek devotees began to worship the Egyptian goddess Isis in the late 4th century BCE, they chose to develop new images of the goddess. Most popular among these was a distinctive costume that featured a mantle knotted between the breasts to create an X-pattern, a type that Jan Eingartner has called the Knotenpalla. The first examples of this type, dating to the mid-Hellenistic period, were thought to come from the islands of Delos and Rhodes, but another has been found at Amphipolis, suggesting a new way of considering island and mainland connectivity in the Hellenistic period. I begin my essay by examining the role of the port in antiquity. I argue that ports could both enable and restrict connectivity and propose that we consider ports through the metaphor of the valve: able to permit, restrict, and redirect cultural flows. Next, I define the Knotenpalla and trace the type’s cultic and social meanings. Through formal analysis, I argue that the mid-Hellenistic types from Delos, Rhodes, and Amphipolis form a cohesive enough group to suggest that their Isiac communities had a relationship with each other. I conclude by suggesting that these connections were built by migration, but also help us understand the active role geography played in community formation. Comparing these statuettes with a regional example from Beroia, I argue that the disjuncture between Isis’ representation at Hellenistic sites in Macedonia indicates that sea- based forms of regionality could have been as, or in some cases, more, influential to cultural and religious development as land-based regions. This case study helps us reposition ports as parts of island networks and see the shores of the Mediterranean more clearly as part of seascapes.

This book reframes current discussions of the Mediterranean world by rereading the past with new methodological approaches. The work asks readers to consider how future studies might write histories of the Mediterranean, moving from the larger pan-Mediterranean approaches of The Corrupting Sea towards locally-oriented case studies. Spanning from the Archaic period to the early Middle Ages, contributors engage the pioneering studies of the Mediterranean by Fernand Braudel through the use of critical theory, GIS network analysis, and postcolonial cultural inquiries. Scholars from several time periods and disciplines rethink the Mediterranean as a geographic and cultural space shaped by human connectivity and follow the flow of ideas, ships, trade goods and pilgrims along the roads and seascapes that connected the Mediterranean across time and space. The volume thus interrogates key concepts like cabotage, seascapes, deep time, social networks, and connectivity in the light of contemporary archaeological and theoretical advances in order to create new ways of writing more diverse histories of the ancient world that bring together local contexts, literary materials, and archaeological analysis.

I focus on two case study sites: Delos and Thessaloniki. At both sites Italians played a small but active role through introduction of new structures and objects that helped them integrate into local social and religious communities. These migrants, then, saw integration as an often-desirable process. But the evidence also indicates that Italians strove to preserve their membership in Italian communities as well as Greek ones, suggesting that integration here is episodic, situational, and does not erase existing cultural identity.
