These returns, which date from the first three centuries AD, list the members of ordinary households living in the Nile valley: not only family members, but lodgers and slaves. The Demography of Roman Egypt has a complete and accurate catalogue of all demographically relevant information contained in the returns. On the basis of this catalogue, the authors use modern demographic methods and models to reconstruct the patterns of mortality, marriage, fertility and migration that are likely to have prevailed in Roman Egypt. They recreate a more or less typical Mediterranean population as it survived and prospered nearly two millennia ago. 410 0$aCambridge studies in population, economy, and society in past time ;$v23. 607 $aEgypt$xPopulation$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xCensus$xHistory 676 $a304.6/0932 700 $aBagnall$b Roger S.$0322041 702 $aFrier$b Bruce W.$f1943- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247917303316 996 $aDemography of roman Egypt$9552142 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
