International Law in Antiquity - David J. (Emory University Bederman - Bog

This 2001 study of the origins of international law contains topical literature and archaeological evidence. David J. Bederman examines three critical areas in which law influenced ancient state relations - diplomacy, treaty-making and warfare - in the Near East (2800-700 BCE), the Greek city-states (500-338 BCE) and Rome (358-168 BCE).
