- This is a 140,000-word single-authored monograph on the important Greek institution of proxeny. It draws on years of data collection and analysis (3,500 attestations of proxeny are presented in an open access database, proxenies.csad.ox.ac.uk) and offers a detailed re-examination of a particularly important class of inscriptions, proxeny lists (presented in an epigraphic appendix, p.286-361). On the basis of this systematic engagement with the copious surviving evidence, the monograph develops a series of innovative accounts of the way proxeny functioned at different levels and, consequently, of the institutional dynamics of the Greek world and their transformation under Rome.
