From the efforts to "decolonise" the historical sciences to the growing rise of global interpretations, including the incorporation of gender perspective and feminist theory, the current understanding the so-called "Romanization" and Roman identities are characterised not only by a general adherence to a viewpoint far removed from old essentialisms, but also for focusing on new issues, such as the ethnic factor, the role of local communities, connectivity and mobility, multiculturalism, hybridisation and marginalised groups. However, this novel scenario can lead to new problems, like other essentialisms and the over-representation of aspects such as diversity, contact, resistance and cultural mixing. En el presente trabajo se presta atención a tres de las tendencias historiográficas que, centradas con preferencia en “lo identitario”, han adquirido durante los últimos veinte años un considerable peso en el estudio del mundo romano, propiciando importantes cambios a la hora de concebir las pertenencias colectivas. Desde los empeños por “decolonizar” la ciencia histórica al creciente auge de las interpretaciones globales, pasando por la incorporación de la perspectiva de género y la teoría feminista, las maneras de entender la llamada “romanización” y las identidades romanas se caracterizan hoy no solo por la adhesión general a una óptica alejada de los viejos esencialismos, sino también por focalizarse en nuevos temas, tales como el factor étnico, el papel de las comunidades locales, la conectividad y movilidad, el multiculturalismo, las hibridaciones o los grupos tradicionalmente invisibilizados. No obstante, este panorama novedoso ha hecho emerger nuevas problemáticas, como las reesencializaciones y la sobrerrepresentación de aspectos como la diversidad, el contacto, las resistencias o la mezcla cultural.
