"Well-informed and beautifully written, Creating a Common Polity represents a turning point in our approach to the political and economic life of the ancient world. It should attract readers far beyond the field of classics, particularly political scientists, who will find in this volume a mine of new data and analyses to conceptualize the formation of federal states."

Alain Bresson, author of L'économie de la Grèce des cités

"This is an excellent and very important study. Mackil is one of the most thorough, brilliant and accomplished Greek historians of her generation, and the book will be a ground-breaker."

Jeremy McInerney, author of The Cattle of the Sun

About the author

Emily Mackil is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.

Summary

Provides a detailed historical narrative spanning five centuries to contextualize her analyses, which focus on the three best-attested areas of mainland Greece - Boiotia, Achaia, and Aitolia.

Additional text

"A model of what scholarship in ancient history should ideally be: technically impeccable, theoretically bold and imaginative, rigorously argued, and—not least—a pleasure for both experts and novices to read."
