We tend to think of numbers as inherently objective and precise.
Yet the diverse ways in which ancient Greeks used numbers
illustrates that counting is actually shaped by context-specific
and culturally-dependent choices: what should be counted and how,
who should count, and how should the results be shared? This volume
is the first to focus on the generation and use of numbers in the
polis to quantify, communicate and persuade. Its papers demonstrate
the rich insights that can be gained into ancient Greek societies
by reappraising seemingly straightforward examples of
quantification as reflections of daily life and cultural
understandings.
