About this Item

A cura di: Kristina Sessa, Kevin Uhalde. Edipuglia, 2023. Rilegato. Pagine: 196 -- DESCRIZIONE Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati in occasione del quattordicesimo incontro della Society for Late Antiquity, interamente dedicato al concetto di scala , intesa sia come categoria graduata di misurazione utilizzata in età tardoantica per scopi euristici sia come strumento metodologico e analitico utilizzato dagli storici moderni per interpretare il passato. Gli 11 saggi, divisi in 3 sezioni, indagano e declinano il variegato concetto di scale nelle sue diverse accezioni temporali e spaziali, sociali ed epistemologiche.
