Situated on opposite flanks of Eurasia, ancient Mediterranean and
Han-Chinese societies had a hazy understanding of each other's
existence. But they had no grounded knowledge about one another,
nor was there any form of direct interaction. In other words, their
historical trajectories were independent. In recent years, however,
many similarities between both cultures have been detected, which
has energized the field of comparative history. The present volume
adds to the debate a creative method of juxtaposing historical
societies. Each contribution covers both ancient China and the
Mediterranean in an accessible manner. Embarking from the
observation that Greek, Roman, and Han-Chinese societies were
governed by comparable features, the contributors to this volume
explain the dynamic interplay between political rulers and the
ruled masses in their culture specific manifestation as demos
(Greece), populus (Rome) and min (China).
