Interstate arbitrations in the Greek world, 337-90 B.C

About this book

This comprehensive, exhaustive, and reliable compendium examines the evidence for arbitrations between the Greek states during the Hellenistic Age and represents a major research achievement. Sheila Ager brings together a vast and scattered body of primary literary and epigraphic sources, and presents this new evidence collected in a series of case studies. These "cases" of arbitration or mediation vary widely, ranging from the settlement of a minor territorial squabble between two tiny city-states to the resolution of major conflicts separating the great powers of the day.
