About “Aspects of Ancient Institutions and Geography”
In Aspects of Ancient Institutions and Geography is a collection of essays written by colleagues and students to honor Richard J.A. Talbert's contributions to ancient history, political and social science, and cartography. The book explores how ancient individuals and groups organized their world through institutions and geography. The first half includes chapters on the Roman Senate, Roman provincial politics, healing springs, gladiators, and soldiers. The second half covers geographical topics such as the geography of Thucydides and Alexander III, imperial geography, and the use of sundials and tracking letters. The 2015 edition presents these examinations as a tribute to Talbert's influential work.
