It introduces theoretical perspectives from the social sciences and subjects them to empirical scrutiny using data from Greek and Demotic papyri as well as comparative evidence. Although building on recent scholarship, it offers some provocative arguments that challenge prevailing views. For example, patterns of land ownership are linked to population density and are seen as one aspect of continuity between the Ptolemaic and Roman period. Fiscal reform, by contrast, emerges as a significant mechanism of change not only in the agrarian economy but also in the administrative system and the whole social structure. Anyone seeking to understand the impact of Roman rule in the Hellenistic east must consider the well-attested processes in Egypt that this book seeks to explain"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000446092 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446092 650_0 $$aHuman geography$$zEgypt$$xHistory. 000446092 650_0 $$aSocial structure$$zEgypt$$xHistory. 000446092 650_0 $$aLand tenure$$zEgypt$$xHistory. 000446092 651_0 $$aEgypt$$xHistory$$yGreco-Roman period, 332 B.C.-640 A.D. 000446092 651_0 $$aEgypt$$xPolitics and government$$y332-30 B.C. 000446092 651_0 $$aEgypt$$xPolitics and government$$y30 B.C.-640 A.D. 000446092 651_0 $$aEgypt$$xEconomic conditions$$y332 B.C.-640 A.D. 000446092 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMonson, Andrew, 1977-$$tFrom the Ptolemies to the Romans.$$dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012$$z9781107014411$$w(DLC) 2011041127$$w(OCoLC)754716205 000446092 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000446092 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=416710$$zOnline Access 000446092 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/14411/cover/9781107014411.jpg 000446092 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446092$$pGLOBAL_SET 000446092 980__ $$aEBOOK 000446092 980__ $$aBIB 000446092 982__ $$aEbook 000446092 983__ $$aOnline 000446092 994__ $$a92$$bISE
