It draws on other material which has not been systematically exploited before to reconstruct the proxeny networks of Greek city states. The book also traces the disappearance of both proxeny and the broader institutional system of which it was part.Oxford studies in ancient documents.GreeceHILCCRegions & Countries - EuropeHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCGreeceForeign relationsTo 146 B.CGreeceRegions & Countries - EuropeHistory & Archaeology327.3815.51bclMack William Joseph Behm Garner1242800PQKBBOOK9910157822103321Proxeny and polis : institutional networks in the ancient Greek world2882909UNINA
