Abstract [en]

This chapter examines the names and identities of Greek elites with Roman citizenship, namely, the possibilities that names and naming could provide for the expression of cultural (and other) identity in such context. Greek elite families under Roman rule often maintained their local importance. They sometimes acquired Roman citizenship and, consequently, gained access to Roman magistracies. Roman citizenship entailed adopting a Roman name, but the Greek elites could incorporate their own traditions into their Roman nomenclature and could thus express their (sometimes multiple) identities, especially through the choice of cognomina and patronymics. The chapter investigates these practices from the emergence of Greek elites with Roman citizenship in the first-century BCE to their occasional rise to the Roman senate and even the highest offices in the imperial period.
