Book Overview

""Studies in Land and Credit in Ancient Athens, 500-200 B.C.: The Horos Inscriptions"" is a scholarly work by Moses I. Finley that delves into the land ownership and credit systems of ancient Athens. The book focuses on the Horos inscriptions, which were boundary markers that identified the land owned by individuals or groups in Athens. Finley uses these inscriptions to analyze the social and economic structures of ancient Athens and how they evolved over time. He explores the relationship between land ownership and credit, and how they were intertwined in the Athenian economy. The book also examines the role of the state in regulating land ownership and credit, and how it affected the lives of Athenian citizens.
