The Topography of Violence in the Greco-Roman World

Editors Riess and Fagan present readers with a collection of academic essays and scholarly articles that examine how topography shaped the perception of violence in the classical Greek and Roman worlds of antiquity. The editors have organized the fifteen selections that make up the main body of the text in two parts devoted to the Greek world and the Roman world. Individual contributions are focused on the Spartan Krypteia, violence against slaves in classical Greece, war as theater, and a wide variety of other related subjects. Werner Riess is a faculty member of the University of Hamburg, Germany. Garrett G. Fagan is a faculty member of Pennsylvania State University.
