Synopsis
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.

Hardcover. Condition: Used Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. Used Like New hardcover in a Like New dust jacket. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6.4 x 1.6 x 9.3 inches) Includes a bibliography and an index. 654 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The many states of the ancient Greek world were governed by small councils and by assemblies of adult male citizens. The decisions of these bodies took the form of decrees. This book collects the evidence for decrees, many of which were inscribed on stone or metal, or else appear in literary texts, either directly quoted or indirectly reported. This evidence is used to study the decision-making procedures of the Greek states, and the extent to which the citizens were actively involved in those procedures, from the sixth century BC to the fourth century AD. An introductory section on Athens shows what questions can be asked and what answers can be given when there is a good supply of epigraphic material and literary texts. This is followed by the catalogue, systematically chronicling the usage of individual states throughout the Greek world with brief discussions of the interesting features in each case. The final section discusses the language of the decrees and the working of the political machinery that they reveal. The catalogues provide a body of material which will be useful to specialists in epigraphy and in political institutions, while the surrounding text will be of value to anyone who is interested in the nature of the Greek states and their survival beyond the classical period.
