The resulting investigation takes us to the underside of Greek and Roman society, into a world of wandering holy men and women, conjurors and wonder-workers, and into the lives of prostitutes, procuresses, charioteers and theatrical performers.This fascinating reconstruction of the careers of witches and sorcerors allows us to see into previously inaccessible areas of Greco-Roman life. Compelling for both its detail and clarity, and with an extraordinarily revealing breadth of evidence employed, it will be an essential resource for anyone studying ancient magic. 606 $aMagic, Ancient 606 $aMagic, Greek 606 $aMagic, Roman 615 0$aMagic, Ancient. 615 0$aMagic, Greek. 615 0$aMagic, Roman. 676 $a133.4/3/0938 700 $aDickie$b Matthew W$0498536 702 $aDickie$b Matthew W. 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783038903321 996 $aMagic and magicians in the Greco-Roman world$9735076 997 $aUNINA
