Keith Hopkins was a sociologist and Professor of Ancient History at Cambridge from 1985 to 2001. This volume presents fourteen of Hopkins' essays on an impressive range of subjects: contraception, demography, economic history, slavery, literacy, imperial power, Roman religion, Early Christianity, and the social and political structures of the ancient world. He is widely recognised as one of the most radical, innovative and influential Roman historians of his generation.
This volume brings Hopkins' work up to date. The papers have been re-edited and revised with accompanying essays by Hopkins' colleagues, friends and former students.
