Administration, Politics, Culture and Society of the Ancient City

The series Ancient Cities presents its second volume which contains the proceedings of the conference: Amministrazione, vita politica, cultura e societa della citta antica, held at Potenza on June 2018. The papers brings in-depth investigation of some relevant problems of the Greco-Roman cities from the archaic age to the late imperial age. The themes, particularly interesting and widely discussed in the international scholarly panorama, are therefore focused on the political and administrative life of the Greco-Roman cities, with attention also to international diplomatic relations. The ancient city was a place of culture and trade, the site of intense political debate, with spaces for meetings and discussions. The volume contains 8 contributions by Italian and foreign scholars, who have investigated some of the most interesting and in some ways problematic aspects of the ancient cities of the Greek and Roman world.
