Archaeologies of Water in the Roman Near East : 63 BC - AD 636 Hardback
by ZENA KAMASH
Part of the Gorgias Studies in Classical and Late Antiquity series
Hardback
Description
Water is one of the most benign, and destructive, powers in the lives of all people, in particular in arid areas such as the Near East.
This book provides an alternative way of thinking about the Roman Near East by exploring how its inhabitants managed and lived with their water supplies, especially in the wake of the Roman conquest.
Through geographical, hydrological, and anthropological perspectives, this study aims to see how water can inform us about the nature of Roman Imperialism, the Roman economy, change and transformation in Late Antiquity.
