What is Olive cultivation in ancient Greece : seeking the ancient economy about?

Lin Foxhall explores the cultivation of the olive as an extended case study for understanding ancient Greek agriculture in its landscape, economic, social, and political settings. Evidence from written sources, archaeology, and visual images is assembled to focus on what was special about the cultivation and processing of the olive in classical and archaic Greece, and how and why these practices differed from Roman ones. This investigation opens up new ways of thinking about the economies of the archaic and classical Greek world. Review "[Foxhall] writes with a winning style that is never laborious or pedantic.... Foxhall's work is thorough and enlightening at every step of the way. All the important bases are covered."--D. Brent Sandy, The Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists About the Author Lin Foxhall is Professor of Greek Archaeology and History at the University of Leicester.
