Book excerpt: The purpose, mode, and presentation of travel offers a window onto a wide range of features of ancient cultures - sense of place, perceptions of space, relations with foreign powers, engagements with other cultures, and a deeper understanding of one's own culture, among others. The chapters in this volume take on a range of these issues, and leading scholars of the history and culture of Egypt, Greece and the eastern regions of the Graeco-Roman world assess the importance of travel in a world much less sedentary than often assumed. Indeed, their work shows that travel was embedded in the cultures of the ancient eastern Mediterranean. Together they demonstrate the cultural importance and the influence on culture that travel had in these societies.
