The Making of Local Legal Cultures under Rome with Prof. Yair Furstenberg
In this episode, we explore the project “The Making of Local Legal Cultures under Rome,” featuring an interview with Professor's Yair Furstenberg, from the Hebrew university in Jerusalem. The project examines how communities in the Greek East negotiated their legal identities amid Roman imperial authority, revealing that law was not a vacuum but a contested space where local customs and Roman practice interested. By integrating early rabbinic literature as a key source, the project sheds light on Jewish jurisprudence and its role in provincial law-making. Through a multi-dimensional analysis of various legal traditions, including legal papyrology and Roman law, the project aims to uncover how these local legal cultures expressed agency and self-determination, ultimately contributing to a richer understanding of cultural and political distinctions under Roman rule. Join us for an enlightening discussion on the complexities of law, identity, and power in antiquity.
