Harris By: Jean-Jacques Aubert Publisher: De Gruyter Print ISBN: 9783598778285, 3598778287 eText ISBN: 9783110931419, 3110931419 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 2005 Format: PDF Available from $ 196.00 USD SKU 9783110931419 This volume commemorates the 65th birthday of William Vernon Harris (on September 13, 2003), when a group of his former students agreed to honor him with a collection of essays that would represent the wide variety of interests and influences of our advisor and friend. The fifteen papers in fact range chronologically from the first Olympics to late antiquity and discuss various questions of imperialism, law, economy, and religion in the ancient Mediterranean world. The essays share a social historical perspective from which they challenge as many commonly accepted notions in ancient history. The contributors acknowledge their intellectual debt to the formative scholarly acumen of William V. Harris, which adds up to the tall order of engaging with his work.
