Book Description
Through the analysis of legal documents surviving on papyrus, such as petitions, reports of court proceedings, and letters, this book examines the contribution that petitioning and litigation made to the maintenance of the social order in Roman Egypt between 30 BC and AD 284, and focuses on how the legal system achieved its formal goals.
