Essays and Texts in Honor of J David Thomas (American Studies in Papyrology)

A collection of nine essays focusing on military and administrative institutions in the ancient world; supplemented by a presentation of thirty texts in Greek and Latin written on papyrus and wooden fragments, some unpublished.
