Managing Warships and Fleets in the Ancient Greek World
Series: - Mnemosyne, Supplements, Volume: 506
- Mnemosyne, Supplements, History and Archaeology of Classical Antiquity, Volume: 506
This volume presents an updated approach to the ways individuals and communities managed their naval resources in the ancient Greek world, bringing together historical, archaeological and philological perspectives that have traditionally developed separately. Written by a diverse roster of specialists from different schools and academic fields (including Classical Studies, Ancient History, and Archaeology), the 12 essays in this volume complement the traditional emphasis on the objects themselves (the ships and their characteristics) with a new focus on how the naval resources (harbour facilities, manpower, funds) were built, collected, manufactured, and operated by different agents in a historical process that transferred naval initiative and responsibilities from individuals to institutions.
Fernando Echeverría is Senior Lecturer at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. His research interests are focused on Greek military, social and political history, with special emphasis on the activities of the elites, and on the literature of the Archaic and Classical periods.
Chiara M. Mauro is Assistant Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Her main research interests include the study of seafaring, ancient harbours, maritime routes and the transmission of nautical information in the Mediterranean during the first millennium BC.
Contributors are: David Blackman, Philip de Souza, Adolfo J. Domínguez, Fernando Echeverría, Sabine Fourrier, Vincent Gabrielsen, Chiara M. Mauro, Mills McArthur, Stefano Medas, William M. Murray, Dorothea Rohde, Anna Salzano
