Description:
This book provides the first detailed study of the water supply of households in antiquity. Chapters explore settings from Classical Greece to the Late Roman Empire across a wide variety of environments, from dry deserts and moderate Mediterranean zones to wet and temperate climates further north.
Review Quotes:
"A volume exploring water use from the perspective of mainly non-elite members of society ... [A]n excellent compilation with engaging contributions, each exploring interesting case studies raising different, yet complementary, themes, issues, and debates."
