Description
A comprehensive study of Hellenistic Rhodes offers a new perspective on political organisation in this ancient city-state. This book challenges traditional assumptions about the political structure of the ancient Greek city-state, revealing an alternative conception that will appeal to readers fresh approaches to the subject. Drawing on Aristotle's notion of the polis as an 'association of associations', Christian Thomsen examines the institutions that shaped the political landscape of Hellenistic Rhodes. The study covers a range of organisations, including family structures, civic subdivisions and private associations, which played important roles in the networks of political elites. By taking a broader view of what constitutes an institution, Thomsen provides a nuanced analysis of the complex political systems at work in Hellenistic Rhodes. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of ancient Greek politics and society.
