共和国晚期至帝国初期古罗马人的希腊观

Roman Attitudes to Hellenism-from the Late Republic to the Early Empire

公元前3世纪初至公元1世纪初,罗马经历了重要的文化转型,罗马文化受到希腊文化的全面影响。在此转型期中,罗马人对希腊的态度非常复杂,用两分法来分析这种态度并不合适。本文从紧张忧虑、反观比较和鉴别选择三种态度分析罗马人的希腊观,认为在同希腊的对照中,罗马人进一步明确了自己的文化身份。

From the beginning of the 3rd Century B.C.to the early period of the 1st Century A.D.,Rome lived a cultural transformation,which was aroused by comprehensive influences of Hellenism.During this period,Roman attitudes to Hellenism,which were various and subtle,could not be dichotomized.It is suggested in this paper that Roman attitudes to Hellenism could be interpreted at least from following three aspects: anxiety,introspection and choice.In comparison with Hellenism,Roman cultural identity was confirmed.
