The ancient Greco-Roman world was a world full of cities: not of
cities in the modern sense of massive conglomerations, but in a
distinctive sense of communities in which countryside was dominated
by urban centre. Interest in the special relationship of town and
country in the ancient world goes back to Max Weber and beyond.
This volume of papers by influential archaeologists and historians
seeks to bring together the two disciplines in exploring the
city-country relationship and its impact on social, political,
economic and cultural conditions in classical antiquity. Topics
include the rise of the "polis" in ancient Greece, the economic and
cultural role of city elites in Athens, central Italy and Asia
Minor, and the role of taxation in subordinating town to country.
