Recensione

Review of the hardback: 'König and Whitmarsh's collection of eleven essays, whose origins can be traced to a 2001 conference held at St John's College, Cambridge, is a welcome edition for what might be called the emerging field of the history of information science ... this volume comes highly recommended on account of the wide range of authors it considers, the variety of analytical methods it employs and its nuanced understanding of the relationship between compilations of knowledge and their contexts.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Descrizione del libro

The Roman Empire depended not just upon political, military or economic control, but also upon information management. Engaging with modern cultural theorists, this volume considers how the huge body of Roman technical literature debates relationships between the emperor and his subjects, and between imperial centre and periphery.
