| CLA521 - Problems in Greek History: Greek Epigraphy |
| Greek inscriptions provide especially valuable information on the political life, institutions and social structures of Greek society.

We will begin with "technical" matters like letter forms, calendars, classification of documents (decrees, treaties). Thereafter sessions will be devoted to the analysis of particular aspects of Greek society (e.g. relationships between elite and demos, city and country,king and city) on the basis of inscriptions with special focus on the Hellenistic world. |
