Description:

Making use of the thousands of papyri and ostraca that have been discovered in recent years, which reveal a fuller picture of the life than most in any other Roman province, Lewis departs form the usual accounts that are essentially about Roman government to explore what life was like for the inhabitants. The 1983 edition was published by the University of Oxford Press. The series, produced by the American Society of Papyrologists, will reprint classic materials for teaching, including manuals, references, and syntheses.
