Description

Book Synopsis
Fresh water in ancient Italy was a limited resource, made all the more precious by the Roman world's reliance on agriculture as its primary source of wealth. This title explores the uses of the law in controlling local water supplies. It investigates numerous issues critical to rural communities and the Roman economy.

Trade Review
Gardens and Neighbors will provide an important building block in the growing body of literature on the ways that Roman law, Roman society, and the economic concerns of the Romans jointly functioned in the real world. - Michael Peachin, New York University
