"If Ancient history is particularly susceptible to a top-down approach, due to the nature of our evidence and its traditional exploitation by modern scholars, another ancient history - 'from below'- is actually possible. This volume examines the possibilities and challenges involved in writing it. Despite undeniable advances in recent decades, 'our slowness to reconstruct plausible visions of almost any aspect of society beyond the top-most strata of wealth, power or status' (as Nicholas Purcell has put it) remains a persistent feature of the field. Therefore, this book concerns a historical field and social groups that are still today neglected by modern scholarship. However, writing ancient history 'from below' means much more than taking into account the anonymous masses, the subaltern classes, the non-elites. Our task is also, in the felicitous expression coined by Walter Benjamin, 'to brush history against the grain,' to rescue the viewpoint of the subordinated, the traditions of the oppressed. In other words, we should understand the bulk of ancient populations in light of their own experience and their own reactions to that experience. But, how do we do such a history? What sources can we use? What methods and approaches can we employ? What concepts are required to this endeavour? The contributions mainly engage with questions of theory and methodology, but they also constitute inspiring case-studies in their own right, ranging from classical Greece to the late antique world. This book is aimed not only at readers working on classical Greece, republican and imperial Rome and late antiquity, but to anyone interested in 'bottom-up' history, and social and population history in general. Although the book is primarily intended for scholars, it will also appeal to graduate and undergraduate students of history, archaeology, and classical studies"--

These volumes, offered in homage to Professor Yves Roman, explore the Roman Republic and Empire, especially the Gallo-Roman economy during the time of the Antonines, and the globalized economy of the Roman world, which Professor Roman studied. The first volume covers economic and epigraphic studies, as well as those on more than one theme; the second volume will cover political studies "Les volumes d'hommage offerts au Professeur Yves Roman explorent la République et l'Empire de Rome en retraçant le parcours qui mena leur dédicataire de l'économie gallo-romaine aux vicissitudes de la famille impériale des Antonins, et à l'économie envisagée de manière globale, du monde romain. Le premier volume comprend des études économiques, épigraphiques, ainsi qu'une partie de mélanges, le second comprendra des études politiques."--Page 4 of cover
