Book Synopsis
Papyrologists and historians have taken a lively interest in the Apion family, which rose from local prominence in rural Middle Egypt to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the Eastern Roman Empire. Getting Rich in Late Antique Egypt discusses how the Apions' wealth was generated and what role their Egyptian estate played in that growth.

Trade Review
"[T]his volume deserves to be read more widely as it offers us a rare glimpse of one particular Egyptian family and the role they played in the wider agricultural and economic machinery of Byzantine Egypt." — Ancient Egypt
