Peter GarnseyReseñas

Analyzed to death, mostly what you don't need or want to know, but can't get anywhere else. P/P

Interesting and important work. But I'm not convinced he always plays straight with the data. I find it interesting, for example, that this book and Alexander the Great and the Logistics of the Macedonian Army rely on opposite assessments of the caloric yield of grain. I find the latter more persuasive, and, as chance would have it, Garnsey's (high) assessments support his argument—Athens' dependence on Black Sea grain was later than some have thought.

Utförligt beskriver Garnsey om synen på slaveri och presenterar en hel del intressanta aspekter, som till exempel de kristnas förhållande till slavar.
