Inhaltsangabe

This text was the first book-length application of network analysis to the ancient world. Using the abundant papyrological evidence from sixth-century Oxyrhynchos and Aphrodito in Egypt, it combines a prosopographical survey with computer analyses to reveal much about these communities' social structure.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

" Ruffini has made an important and provocative addition to modern scholarship on the social history of late antiquity." --BCMR

"The book's pioneering use of social-network theory, underpinned by rigorous quantitative analysis, is a welcome contribution to papyrology and the social history of the Byzantine world. The future of the field looks promising, indeed."
The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Elisabeth R. O'Connell, The British Museum
