Description

Book Synopsis
The contributors to The Topography of Violence in the Greco-Roman World examine how topography shaped the perception and interpretation of violence in Greek and Roman antiquity. No other book either adopts the spatial theoretical framework or pairs the examination of different classes of violence in classical antiquity in this way.

Trade Review
A must for libraries in all colleges that are delivering degrees in classics, classical civilization and ancient history. . . . Readily accessible to a wide-ranging audience from specialists to undergraduates and general nonspecialist readers.” —Kate Gilliver, Cardiff University

"This work is undoubtedly of value to anyone interested in the topic or in any of the Greek and Roman topics dealt with, and we may hope will spur further such treatments into the topography of violence in the ancient world." - David Colwill, Cradiff University, Classics For All
