About the Authors
  • Private associations abounded in the ancient Greek world and beyond, and this volume provides the first large-scale study of the strategies of governance which they employed. Emphasis is placed on the values fostered by the regulations of associations, the complexities of the private-public divide (and that divide's impact on polis institutions) and the dynamics of regional and global networks and group identity. The attested links between rules and religious sanctions also illuminate the relationship between legal history and religion. Moreover, possible links between ancient associations and the early Christian churches will prove particularly valuable for scholars of the New Testament. The book concludes by using the regulations of associations to explore a novel and revealing aspect of the interaction between the Mediterranean world, India and China. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

    • The first full-scale analysis of the rules and regulations of private associations in the ancient Greek world and the values underlying them
    • Includes clear, accessible examples to shed light on the complex relationship between the private and public spheres
    • Engages in comparative historical analysis encompassing the wider Eurasian world
    • This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core
