Description

Book Synopsis
The Romans are famous for constructing aqueducts, canals, and dams. But their law is also a lasting, if less visible, monument to their attempts to control water. A Casebook on Roman Water Law presents an analytical collection of Roman sources for water rights.

Trade Review
“Because a supply of good drinking water is a precious natural resource and an essential human need, its protection and administration have always been critical in every culture. Assessing how the Romans tackled legal problems about water supply and usage is therefore directly relevant to us. Bannon’s Casebook on Roman Water Law assembles a comprehensive collection of ancient sources over the wide range of Roman water law, with English translations of the original documents in Latin, thus providing readers with direct access to the source materials. The book is a major contribution to any understanding of a problem which is directly relevant to modern environmental issues.”
