The contributions address a number of crucial issues in Roman demography from the evolution of the academic field to seasonal patterns of fertility, the number of Roman citizens, population pressure in the early Roman empire, and the end of classical urbanism in late antiquity. This is the first collaborative volume of its kind. It is designed to introduce ancient historians and classicists to demographic, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives, and to situate and contextualize Roman population studies in the wider ambit of historical demography. 410 0$aMnemosyne, Supplements$v211. 606 $aDemography$zRome 607 $aRome$xPopulation$xHistory 615 0$aDemography 676 $a304.60945632 702 $aScheidel$b Walter$f1966- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996237749303316 996 $aDebating roman demography$9671975 997 $aUNISA
