Exploring the concept of ethnicity, this study examines a diverse range of ancient sources, including Greek, Roman, Jewish, and early Christian texts. By focusing on the perspectives of historical figures like Herodotus, Cicero, and Paul, it seeks to understand how collective identity was perceived in antiquity—whether rooted in common ancestry or shaped by shared traditions and culture. This approach emphasizes the importance of ancient viewpoints over modern interpretations, providing a nuanced analysis of identity in the ancient world.
