This book belongs to a growing body of literature devoted to the study of poverty in the ancient world, significant contributions to which have been made by the editors and contributors of the present volume. Despite the publisher’s blurb, the combined contributions here by no means constitute ‘a comprehensive view of the ancient world’, but rather, in the words of the editors, ‘in-depth analysis of specific societies and historical moments, exploring the many dimensions and the socially pervasive character of poverty in the ancient world’ (6-7). This is not a handbook, but a collection of discrete essays exploring a single theme. Pertenece a las series
"This volume presents an innovative picture of the ancient Mediterranean world. Approaching poverty as a multifaceted condition, it examines how different groups were affected by the lack of access to symbolic, cultural and social - as well as economic - capital. Collecting a wide range of studies by an international team of experts, it presents a diverse and complex analysis of life in antiquity, from the archaic to the late antique period. The sections on Greece, Rome, and Late Antiquity offer in-depth studies of ancient life, integrating analysis of socio-economic dynamics and cultural and discursive strategies that shaped this crucial element of ancient (and modern) societies. Themes like social cohesion and control, exclusion, gender, agency, and identity are explored through the combination of archaeological, epigraphic, and literary evidence, presenting a rich panorama of Greco-Roman societies and a stimulating collection of new approaches and methodologies for their understanding. The book offers a comprehensive view of the ancient world, analysing different social groups - from wealthy elites to poor peasants and the destitute - and their interactions, in contexts as diverse as Classical Athens and Sparta, imperial Rome, and the late antique towns of Egypt and North Africa. Poverty in Ancient Greece and Rome: Discourses and Realities is a valuable resource for students and scholars of ancient history, classical literature, and archaeology. In addition, topics covered in the book are of interest to social scientists, scholars of religion, and historians working on poverty and social history in other periods"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
