The traditional demographic regime of ancient Greece and Rome is
almost entirely unknown; but our best chance for understanding its
characteristics is provided by the three hundred census returns
that survive on papyri from Roman Egypt. These returns, which date
from the first three centuries AD, list the members of ordinary
households living in the Nile valley: not only family members, but
lodgers and slaves. The Demography of Roman Egypt has a complete
and accurate catalogue of all demographically relevant information
contained in the returns. On the basis of this catalogue, the
authors use modern demographic methods and models to reconstruct
the patterns of mortality, marriage, fertility and migration that
are likely to have prevailed in Roman Egypt. They recreate a more
or less typical Mediterranean population as it survived and
prospered nearly two millennia ago.
