If poor individuals have always been with us, societies have not
always seen the poor as a distinct social group. But within the
Roman world, from at least the Late Republic onwards, the poor were
an important force in social and political life and how to treat
the poor was a topic of philosophical as well as political
discussion. This book explains what poverty meant in antiquity, and
why the poor came to be an important group in the Roman world, and
it explores the issues which poverty and the poor raised for Roman
society and for Roman writers. In essays which range widely in
space and time across the whole Roman Empire, the contributors
address both the reality and the representation of poverty, and
examine the impact which Christianity had upon attitudes towards
and treatment of the poor.
