Organized by topic, paired chapters explore parallel participatory communities from a Greek perspective and from a Roman perspective. Each chapter surveys origins, concepts, and practices in either Greek or Roman communities; and taken together, the pairs of chapters provide a complex portrait of the formation, organization, development, and imperilment of these communities in two different civilizations. This comparative context allows for an enriched understanding of participatory communities in the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Companion brings into dialogue an international array of scholars with a wide range of methodological approaches. Authors of parallel chapters collaborate closely to highlight comparative aspects of their assigned topics. The result is an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988608073957,"sku":"NP9781444336016","price":230.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781444336016.jpg?v=1761780954","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/a-companion-to-greek-democracy-and-the-roman-republic-isbn-9781444336016","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
