Comments: This book collects most of the papers delivered at an International Conference on 'The History and Archaeology of Athenian Democracy' held at Christ Church, Oxford on 27-31 July 1993 / xviii, 408 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

 This work is a celebration of 2500 years of democracy. At the same time it is a collection of essays to honour the 65th birthday of David Lewis, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Oxford. It brings together contributions from 22 leading scholars from Britain, Continental Europe, Israel, and America and its central themes are: ritual, both in the religious and extended anthropological sense; finance, including the accountability principle which was basic to Athenian democracy; and politics. The contributors pay especial attention to epigraphy (the editing and interpretation of inscriptions on stone), which is David Lewis' speciality. They have utilized the most recent epigraphic evidence, and discuss topics such as the purposes (including symbolic and monumental motives) for which democratic inscriptions were set up. The introduction locates individual contributions within the overall study of classical Athens and relates them to Lewis' own published work.
