Yet the diverse ways in which ancient Greeks used numbers illustrates that counting is actually shaped by context-specific and culturally-dependent choices: what should be counted and how, who should count, and how should the results be shared?

Its papers demonstrate the rich insights that can be gained into ancient Greek societies by reappraising seemingly straightforward examples of quantification as reflections of daily life and cultural understanding"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum.$pHistory and archaeology of classical antiquity ;$v446. 606 $aMathematics, Greek 606 $aNumeration 615 0$aMathematics, Greek. 615 0$aNumeration. 676 $a510.938 702 $aBerkel$b Tazuko Angela van$f1979- 702 $aSing$b Robert 702 $aOsborne$b Robin$f1957- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814932803321 996 $aNumbers and numeracy in the Greek polis$94082283 997 $aUNINA
