Synopsis

A collection of nine essays focused on military and administrative institutions in the ancient world, and supplemented by a presentation of thirty texts in Greek and Latin written on papyrus and wooden fragments, some unpublished. The essays and textual editions are contributed by a host of distinguished international scholars in honour of Professor J David Thomas seventieth birthday.
