Poverty in the Roman World
Margaret Atkins
What is poverty? What is to be done about it? These are difficult questions in any period. This book looks at how Romans thought about the poor and about the appropriate ways to relieve poverty. It considers their political importance and how far the rise of Christianity affected their treatment.
