Famine and Food Supply in the Graeco-Roman World: Responses to Risk and Crisis
ISBN: 9780521351980 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first full-length study of famine in antiquity. The study provides detailed case studies of Athens and Rome, the best known states of antiquity, but also illuminates the institutional response to food crisis in the mass of ordinary cities in the Mediterranean world. Ancient historians have generally shown little interest in investigating the material base of the unique civilisations of the Graeco-Roman world, and have left unexplored the role of the food supply in framing the central institutions and practices of ancient society.

Thinking about Property: From Antiquity to the Age of Revolution
ISBN: 9780521876773 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores ancient 'foundational' texts relating to property and their reception by later thinkers in their various contexts up to the early nineteenth century. The texts include Plato's vision of an ideal polity in the Republic, Jesus' teachings on renunciation and poverty, and Golden Age narratives and other evolutionary accounts of the transition of mankind from primeval communality to regimes of ownership.

Ideas of Slavery from Aristotle to Augustine
ISBN: 9780521574334 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study, unique of its kind, asks how slavery was viewed by the leading spokesmen of Greece and Rome. There was no movement for abolition in these societies, or a vigorous debate, such as occurred in antebellum America, but this does not imply that slavery was accepted without question. This book draws on a wide range of sources, pagan, Jewish and Christian, over ten centuries, to challenge the common assumption of passive acquiescence in slavery, and the associated view that, Aristotle apart, there was no systematic thought on slavery. The work contains both a typology of attitudes to...

Famine and Food Supply in the Graeco-Roman World: Responses to Risk and Crisis
ISBN: 9780521375856 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first full-length treatment of food supply and food crisis in classical antiquity. Hunger was never far away in the world of Greece and Rome, yet ancient historians have generally left unexplored the role of the food supply in shaping the central institutions and practices of ancient society. This book demonstrates that a study of systems of food supply and their breakdown leads to a fuller understanding of political behaviour, social mechanisms and economic relationships in classical antiquity.
Dr Garnsey poses the following questions: What caused food crisis? Was it a common... This is the first full-length treatment of food supply and food crisis in classical antiquity. Hunger was never far away in the world of Greece and Ro...

ISBN: 9780853239888 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

This edition has been prepared with students and scholars of intellectual history in mind, but it will also appeal to those concerned with ecclesiastical history and patristics, and to anyone interested in tracing the impact of classical philosophy and literature on an early Christian thinker.

ISBN: 9781472524027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the Principate (roughly from 27 BC to AD ), when the empire reached its maximum extent, Roman society and culture were radically transformed. But how was the vast territory of the empire controlled? Did the demands of central government stimulate economic growth or endanger survival? What forces of cohesion operated to balance the social and economic inequalities and high mortality rates? How did the official religion react in the face of the diffusion of alien cults and the emergence of Christianity? These are some of the many questions posed here, in an expanded edition of the...
