Opis

This book collects the evidence for decrees through which the states of the ancient Greek world were governed and uses the evidence to study the decision-making procedures and the extent to which the citizens were actively involved. The book consists of a catalogue of the evidence for 1200+ city states, introduced by a discussion of the Athenian evidence, and with a conclusion in which the language of the decrees and the working of the political machinery in various cities is analyzed.

Recenzje

The authors have largely succeeded in the difficult task of efficiently organizing a mountain of information....this is a thoroughly professional study....One of the great strengths of this book is the opportunity for comparison it invites through the collection of evidence from the entire Greek world.
