| Description: |
The series "Beitrage zur Altertumskunde" was founded in 1990. It mainly contains monographs and conference proceedings in German, but also includes texts, translations and commentaries on classical works which have had a long-lasting impact. The individual volumes of the series are useful aids to study, and represent a significant advance in our knowledge of the ancient world. Some eight volumes are published every year. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume commemorates the 65th birthday of William Vernon Harris (on September 13, 2003), when a group of his former students agreed to honor him with a collection of essays that would represent the wide variety of interests and influences of our advisor and friend. The fifteen papers in fact range chronologically from the first Olympics to late antiquity and discuss various questions of imperialism, law, economy, and religion in the ancient Mediterranean world. The essays share a social historical perspective from which they challenge as many commonly accepted notions in ancient history. The contributors acknowledge their intellectual debt to the formative scholarly acumen of William V. Harris, which adds up to the "tall order" of engaging with his work. |
