Cittadini di quale classe? Appartenenza censitaria e stigma sociale nell’Atene classica
Citizens of which class? Census membership and social stigma in classical Athens This article discusses the meaning and implications of the census classes in classical Athens, with a particular focus on the fourth class – the thetes. It argues that Athenian citizens were less inclined to highlight their professional identities on private inscriptions, such as gravestones and dedications, than non-citizen residents of Athens. This may reflect the …
Luxury and Wealth in Sparta and the Peloponnese
Debt Cancellation in the Classical and HellenisticPoleis
This article discusses the way the ancient Greeks dealt with public and private debts, focusing on one specific aspect: debt cancellation. On the one hand, ancient Greeks were aware of the risks entailed in debt relief as a tool for fuelling civic strife: sources describe it as a demagogic or even criminal action often in association with the political agenda of tyrants. On the other hand, however, Greeks knew well also the benefic effects of deb…

One caveat: the present book is not a companion to ancient citizenship and it does not aim at covering the full range of questions concerning this topic in the ancie…
Poverty in Athenian Public Discourse
While previous research has focused on the public discourse of wealth, little attention has thus far been paid to the perception of poverty and attitudes toward it in classical Athens.

Athenian democracy promoted ideas about poverty that could substantially contribute to the stability of the political system, whil…
Poverty in Athenian Public Discourse
Poverty as argument in Athenian forensic speeches
This article explores the way in which common assumptions concerning poverty were used to construct persuasion strategies in Athenian forensic speeches. These rhetorical tactics were supported by the dramatized presentation to the court of “poor people”. They provide valuable information on the perception of – and imagery on – poverty in the Athenian society of the late fifth and fourth centuries BC
