Description: Famine and Food Supply in the Graeco-Roman World by Peter Garnsey Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A study of famine in antiquity. The study provides case studies of Athens and Rome, and illuminates the institutional response to food crisis in the mass of ordinary cities in the Mediterranean world. Publisher Description 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. Author Biography Peter Garnsey is Director of Research in the Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge, having previously been Professor of Ancient History. His recent books include Ideas of Slavery from Aristotle to Augustine (1996), Food and Society in Classical Antiquity (1999), (with Caroline Humfress) The Evolution of the Late Antique World (2001) and (with Anthony Bowen) a translation of Lactantius Divine Institutes (2003).
