Abstract
<jats:p>This volume contains the proceedings of the 24th Symposium of the International Society for Greek and Hellenistic Legal History / Internationale Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte, held at the University of Milan from 2 to 4 September 2024. It comprises 15 papers and 14 ‘responses’ on a wide range of topics relating to public and private law, through the study of new documents and the re-examination of others long since known. The aim, like in the other volumes of the Symposium series, is to present the most recent findings and perspectives of research in the field of Greek and Hellenistic law. Despite the remarkable thematic variety, there remains at the same time a fundamental coherence in content, methods and approaches. The key themes that run through the 29 contributions include: law, legal culture and society; Greek law in the Archaic period; contracts and obligations; the law of Cretan cities; and the institutions of Greek cities in the Hellenistic period. The volume is supplemented by an analytical index of the sources cited and discussed.</jats:p>
