Studies in ancient Greek and Roman society

Abstract

"This collection of papers originally published in Past and Present includes some of the most innovative history written about Greece and Rome in the last twenty years. The volume offers a convenient and enthralling guide to the hottest issues and topics in Greek and Roman history, maps the changing interests of ancient historians and raises stimulating questions about historical method." "The contributors to the volume represent many of the most exciting and influential ancient historians who have been active in the last quarter century. An introduction by the editor, which places the papers in the wider context of changing interests in Greek and Roman history, sets the scene for papers on Greek warfare, the regulation and representation of women and the nature and study of homosexual relationships in Athens, the relationship between Rome and its empire, whether Rome was democratic, the ideology of Augustan Rome, games and gaming at Rome, the lives of slaves, the ancient interpretation of dreams, the nature of religious pilgrimage, early Christian martyr stories, and bandits in the Roman empire."--BOOK JACKET.
