About This Book

This volume surveys the social and economic fabric of ancient Greece, beginning with the origins, varieties, and everyday realities of servitude and serfdom, contrasting regional systems and tracing how war, trade, and piracy supplied captive labour and shaped treatment and legal status. It then turns to commerce and industry, detailing the condition of the poor and a wide range of trades — food production, textiles, metalwork, construction, leatherwork, artisans, mining, and navigation — and examines regional commercial networks, exports and imports across the Mediterranean and beyond, closing with funeral customs and a comprehensive index.
