Description

Syracuse possesses a unique place in the history of the ancient Mediterranean because of its contribution to Greek culture and political thought and practice. The history and governance of the city were recorded from the fifth century BC and the volume of literary sources comes close to matching the records of Athens or Rome. Combining literary and material evidence this monograph traces the history of Syracuse, offering new arguments about the date of the citys foundation, and continues through the fifth century when, as a democracy, Syracuses military strength grew to equal that of Athens or Sparta, surpassing them in the early fourth century under the tyrant Dionysius I.
