Book Synopsis Poverty in the Roman World by : Margaret Atkins

Download or read book Poverty in the Roman World written by Margaret Atkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-09 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If poor individuals have always been with us, societies have not always seen the poor as a distinct social group. But within the Roman world, from at least the Late Republic onwards, the poor were an important force in social and political life and how to treat the poor was a topic of philosophical as well as political discussion. This book explains what poverty meant in antiquity, and why the poor came to be an important group in the Roman world, and it explores the issues which poverty and the poor raised for Roman society and for Roman writers. In essays which range widely in space and time across the whole Roman Empire, the contributors address both the reality and the representation of poverty, and examine the impact which Christianity had upon attitudes towards and treatment of the poor.
