Why did the Roman state legislate to curb the behaviour of its obscenely rich and powerful elite, if it never really expected such laws to be obeyed? Why did it oppress the poor, and lavish public child support on them? These are important questions, but ancient Greeks and Romans could never have thought of them. They never questioned the right of the rich to be rich. They could not improve their understanding of Homeric gift-giving with the experience of ritualized friendship among the Trobriand islanders. Such questions and such answers can only come from those who live after the ancient past. This volume honours the well-known Dutch epigraphist and ancient historian H.W. Pleket. Ten substantial essays reflect his wide range, from early Greece to the Roman Empire, and his taste for comparative economic and social history. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$vVolume 233. 606 $aCivilization, Classical 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yTo 146 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistory 615 0$aCivilization, Classical. 676 $a938 702 $aJongman$b Willem 702 $aKleijwegt$b Marc 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996237748903316 996 $aAfter the past$91107941 997 $aUNISA
