Außergerichtliche Konfliktlösung in der Antike

Where are the boundaries of judicial and extra-judicial mechanisms of dispute resolution within the framework of ancient societies ? Are they alternatives in a narrower sense ? Is there evidence for what reason there was no (or no exclusive) judicial decision ? In this volume, scholars from the fields of ancient legal history, assyriology and archaeology explore the significance of sources from the prehistorical period, the Ancient Near East and Hellenistic Egypt to Classical Roman law.
