This book, which brings together specialists in Greek city-states and the Ptolemaic kingdom, aims to examine the notion of identity in the Greek world through identification processes, processes that jointly lead to singling out an individual and differentiating them from another in order to be able to recognize them. It has two objectives: to attempt to overcome the rupture caused by the specificity of the sources preserved for Greek city-states of the Classical period, on the one hand, and for Hellenistic kingdoms, on the other; to compare the social perspective and the legal perspective in order to identify what unites and separates the proponents of a social history strictly speaking and those who focus their objects on legal norms and practices in a judicial context. A first group of five articles thus questions the degree of involvement of the authorities of the polis or the monarchical state in matters of personal identification. Six other contributions explore more specifically the relationships and tensions between individual and collective identifications. Finally, three studies focus on identification practices in judicial and parajudicial contexts.
