The presence of foreign roots, components, and full names in the Etruscan nomenclature is ubiquitous from the earliest documentation. This finds a possible explanation only in the existence of continuous and prolonged contact and human mobility within the Etruscan communities, with integration of foreigners into the Etruscan society at different levels since the earliest periods.
Sometime in the late first or early second century AD, the freed slaves of a man named Quintus Atilius Primus set up a monument to their late master – and, most probably, husband and father – on the Danubian frontier of the Roman province of Pannonia (AE 1978.635). Atilius had followed a varied career path as soldier, interpreter and trader.
Migration, Mobility and Language Contact in and around the Ancient Mediterranean is the first volume to show the different ways in which surviving linguistic evidence can be used to track movements of people in the ancient world. Eleven chapters cover a number of case studies, which span the period from the seventh century BC to the fourth century AD, ranging from Spain to Egypt, from Sicily to Pannonia. The book includes detailed study of epigraphic and literary evidence written in Latin and Greek, as well as work on languages which are not so well documented, such as Etruscan and Oscan. There is a subject index and an index of works and inscriptions cited.
