Interstate Arbitrations in the Greek World, 337–90 B.C. Hardback
by Sheila L. Ager
Part of the Hellenistic Culture and Society series
Hardback
Description
A great deal of information has come to light over the past several decades about the role of arbitration between the Greek states.
Arbitration and mediation were, in fact, central institutions in Hellenistic public life.
In this comprehensive study, Sheila Ager brings together the scattered body of literary and epigraphical sources on arbitration, together with up-to-date bibliographic references, and commentary.
The sources collected here range widely; Ager presents an exhaustive record of documents ranging from the settlement of a minor territorial squabble between two tiny city-states to the resolution of major conflicts separating the great powers of the day.
In addition, Ager's introduction sets the documents in historical context and outlines distinctions among categories of arbitration.
The work also includes indices to literary passages, inscriptions, persons, places, subjects, and Greek and Latin terms in the documents.
This collection of many previously inaccessible texts will become a primary resource for any scholar or student working in the field of Hellenistic history.
