This volume presents an updated approach to the ways individuals and communities managed their naval resources in the ancient Greek world, bringing together historical, archaeological and philological perspectives that have traditionally developed separately. Written by a diverse roster of specialists from different schools and academic fields (including Classical Studies, Ancient History, and Archaeology), the 12 essays in this volume complement the traditional emphasis on the objects themselves (the ships and their characteristics) with a new focus on how the naval resources (harbour facilities, manpower, funds) were built, collected, manufactured, and operated by different agents in a historical process that transferred naval initiative and responsibilities from individuals to institutions.
