The introduction of methodological approaches and paradigms from the realms of Social Sciences, International Relations, Law Studies and Psychology have offered new interpretative tools which enable us to find new answers to important historical issues such as the nature of the interactions between states situated inside and outside the Peloponnese and the perceptions of the past throughout the Hellenistic period.

Recent studies on various aspects of material culture in the Roman provinces have revealed the importance of local, as well as global, factors in shaping the lives individuals led across the Empire by considering objects in their own context. Scott and Webster (2003) highlighted the potential for provincial art to inform our understanding of the societies which created it by moving away from aesthetic judgment and colonialist perspectives. However, the tendency to view evidence in terms of a sliding scale of artistic competence and understanding of an ideal form imposed by the centre still prevails, and there is still much scope to re-evaluate provincial evidence, as recently demonstrated by Alcock, Egri and Jackes (2017).
Following previous (and recent) theoretical and methodological bases, this panel travels across the spatial and temporal boundaries of the Roman Empire, from the first overseas province of Sicily via North Africa and Spain, to the imperial possession of Britain, to uncover different aspects of everyday life by interrogating objects on their own terms. Papers dismiss physical, as well as conceptual limits traditionally created between: Rome and the provinces, administrative and natural limits, ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’, ‘art’ and ‘archaeology’, ‘Roman’ and ‘indigenous’, ‘imported’ and ‘local’ to investigate whether Rome brought peace, a wasteland, or a different dynamic entirely to the boundaries of the Empire.
