Through a series of case studies this book demonstrates the
wide-ranging impact of demographic dynamics on social, economic and
political structures in the Graeco-Roman world. The individual case
studies focus on fertility, mortality and migration and the roles
they played in various aspects of ancient life. These studies -
drawn from a range of populations in Athens and Attica, Rome and
Italy, and Graeco-Roman Egypt - illustrate how new insights can be
gained by applying demographic methods to familiar themes in
ancient history. Methodological issues are addressed in a clear,
straightforward manner with no assumption of prior technical
knowledge, ensuring that the book is accessible to readers with no
training in demography. The book marks an important step forward in
ancient historical demography, affirming both the centrality of
population studies in ancient history and the contribution that
antiquity can make to population history in general.
