- This book presents the first detailed discussion of Tebtunis, a village in Egypt within the Roman Empire, in the first century CE. It is founded on the comprehensive scrutiny of the archive material of the local notarial office, or grapheion, which was run by a man named Kronion for most of the mid-first century. This large and complex archive, unparalleled in antiquity, includes over 200 papyri that attest a wide range of transactions made by the villagers over defined periods of time, in particular the years AD 42 and 45-7 under the reign of the emperor Claudius.
