Historians constantly wrestle with uncertainty, never more so than
when attempting quantification, yet the field has given little
attention to the nature of uncertainty and strategies for managing
it. This volume proposes a powerful new approach to uncertainty in
ancient history, drawing on techniques widely used in the social
and natural sciences. It shows how probability-based techniques
used to manage uncertainty about the future or the present can be
applied to uncertainty about the past. A substantial introduction
explains the use of probability to represent uncertainty. The
chapters that follow showcase how the technique can offer leverage
on a wide range of problems in ancient history, from the incidence
of expropriation in the Classical Greek world to the money supply
of the Roman empire.
