Description
"This book analyses water issues in ancient Roman World (cultural and social norms as well as legal provisions) and links the roman imagery about water to the current debate about the commons.
The study provides interesting food for thought from antiquity: indeed the overview of ancient approaches to water and the analysis of the proper meaning of concepts as publicus and communis can contribute to a better definition of the commons nowadays based on the idea of reciprocity and mutual responsibility."
