Poverty in the Roman World (Hardcover): Margaret Atkins, Robin Osborne Poverty in the Roman World (Hardcover)
Margaret Atkins, Robin Osborne
R2,514 Discovery Miles 25 140 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

If poor individuals have always been with us, societies have not always seen the poor as a distinct social group. But within the Roman world, from at least the Late Republic onwards, the poor were an important force in social and political life and how to treat the poor was a topic of philosophical as well as political discussion. This book explains what poverty meant in antiquity, and why the poor came to be an important group in the Roman world, and it explores the issues which poverty and the poor raised for Roman society and for Roman writers. In essays which range widely in space and time across the whole Roman Empire, the contributors address both the reality and the representation of poverty, and examine the impact which Christianity had upon attitudes towards and treatment of the poor.
