Migration, Mobility and Language Contact in and around the Ancient Mediterranean is the first volume to show the different ways in which surviving linguistic evidence can be used to track movements of people in the ancient world. Eleven chapters cover a number of case studies, which span the period from the seventh century BC to the fourth century AD, ranging from Spain to Egypt, from Sicily to Pannonia. The book includes detailed study of epigraphic and literary evidence written in Latin and Greek, as well as work on languages which are not so well documented, such as Etruscan and Oscan. There is a subject index and an index of works and inscriptions cited.
- The first volume to link linguistic evidence and population movement in the ancient world
- Features contributors from different disciplinary backgrounds, showing how different disciplines make sense of the available evidence
- Includes material from minority languages spoken around the ancient Mediterranean, including Etruscan, Oscan and others
