The first full-length study of famine in antiquity. The study
provides detailed case studies of Athens and Rome, the best known
states of antiquity, but also illuminates the institutional
response to food crisis in the mass of ordinary cities in the
Mediterranean world. Ancient historians have generally shown little
interest in investigating the material base of the unique
civilisations of the Graeco-Roman world, and have left unexplored
the role of the food supply in framing the central institutions and
practices of ancient society.
