Organised Crime in AntiquityRichard Alston, Keith Hopwood Duckworth, 1999 - 278 sidor What are states but large bandit bands, and what are bandit bands but small states? So asked St Augustine, reflecting on the late Roman world. Here nine original studies, by historians of Greece and Rome, explore the activities and the images of ancient criminals, comparing them closely and provocatively with the Greek and Roman governments which the criminals challenged. |
