Willy Clarysse: Counting the People in Hellenistic Egypt 2 Volume Hardback Set, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

How in Egypt does a new dynasty deal with the problems of establishing rule in a country with a long history of developed administration? This is the central question informing the historical studies of Volume II based on early Hellenistic taxation registers surviving on papyrus, which are published in Volume I. New light is shed on the taxation system, the occupational and demographic breakdown of the population, and relations between Greeks and Egyptians. Other topics discussed include their differing household patterns, stockholding, gender relations, and childrearing.
