Publisher's Synopsis
The 16th Symposium of the Society for Greek and Hellenistic Legal History took place at University College, Durham University, from 2 to 6 September 2007. Fifteen papers were presented, each followed by a discussion. The papers collected in this volume examine archaic Greek law in comparison with the laws from other cities, law in classical Athens, epigraphic testimony from other poleis, and legal papyri. The symposium supports collaborations between legal historians and scholars of Classical Antiquity and allows the participants a free choice of subject matter from their current area of research.
