The Amorites: Rethinking Approaches to Corporate Identity in Antiquity

 

Most of our approaches to identity in antiquity fixate upon a binary, constructed in modern scholarship. But individuals embrace multiple collective identities, whether social, ideological, or kin-related. So how should we approach the complexity of such identities in antiquity?
