Piracy, Pillage, and Plunder in Antiquity explores appropriation in
its broadest terns in the ancient world, from brigands, mercenaries
and state-sponsored "piracy", to literary appropriation and the
modern plundering of antiquities. The chronological extent of the
studies in this volume, written by an international group of
experts, ranges from about 2000 BCE to the 20th century. The
geographical spectrum in similarly diverse, encompassing Africa,
the Mediterranean, and Mesopotamia, allowing readers to track this
phenomenon in various different manifestations. Predatory behaviour
is a phenomenon seen in all walks of life. While violence may often
be concomitant it is worth observing that predation can be
extremely nuanced in its application, and it is precisely this
gradation and its focus that occupies the essential issue in this
volume. Piracy, Pillage, and Plunder in Antiquity will be of great
interest to those studying a range of topics in antiquity,
including literature and art, cities and their foundations, crime,
warfare, and geography.
