- Information
Description
Stephen L. Dyson examines rural communities as functioning, largely autonomous societies.
Dyson traces the major outlines of community development from the end of the war with Hannibal to the early Middle Ages.
He shows how local communities responded to changes in the greater Roman society while still retaining their distinctive identity.
He examines the "typical" Roman community during the High Empire and explores the life cycle of rural inhabitants, showing how individuals- the aristocrats, the free poor, and the slaves- developed in relation to society as a whole.
