How should we talk about "the law" in a period so remote from our
own and covering such a huge span of time and space? From the Code
of Hammurabi (ca. 1750 BCE) to Justinian's Corpus Iuris Civilis
(529-534 CE), A Cultural History of Law in Antiquity draws upon
legal texts and non-textual forms (such as vase-painting,
sculpture, and architecture) to uncover the diverse and rich legal
traditions of societies ranging from the Ancient Near Eastern
cities of Assyria and Babylon in Mesopotamia to the Ancient
Israelites, and from Ancient Greece to Rome of the Archaic and
Classical Periods. With a wealth of textual and visual sources, A
Cultural History of Law in Antiquity presents essays that examine
key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice,
constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and
possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.
